Web scraping blocks are the primary challenge businesses deal with when gathering public website data; hence, equipping a custom scraping infrastructure with proxy servers is a non-negotiable necessity.

Yet, with proxies turned on, ensuring rock-solid success rates becomes cumbersome with more complex sites. To overcome blocks when proxies aren’t enough, a scraping tool must appear human-like by utilizing multiple methods, such as cookie handling, header sets, headless browsers, request retries, and other techniques. Unsurprisingly, setting up all these functionalities requires additional development time and business resources, especially when it comes to scalable scraping scenarios of different websites.

The white paper overviews how a single tool can unblock web data, scale operations, and reduce scraper development and maintenance overhead.
