About the company

A global Fortune 200 e-commerce company needed reliable access to real-time pricing data from a major regional search platform; a site known across the industry for its aggressive and evolving anti-scraping defenses.

Rumor had it the target platform employed a team of around ten engineers in a matter of a few months whose only job was to block automated traffic. For our client, every new defense meant a sudden blackout in their price intelligence, until their internal teams could catch up.

They needed a vendor that could keep pace with those constant changes, recover instantly from new blocks, and scale globally without breaking.

The challenge

The company’s internal scraping operation couldn’t keep up with the constant countermeasures deployed by the target website.

Each new block halted data collection for hours or days at a time, stalling their ability to track market movements and adjust pricing dynamically.

They required:

• Rapid recovery from new anti-bot tactics
• Continuous uptime and data accuracy
• Redundant scraping strategies to avoid future blackouts
• Scalability to handle hundreds of millions of monthly requests

Our solution

Rayobyte designed a fully managed scraping and proxy solution centred around our Web Scraping API and residential proxies, providing the flexibility and scale needed for sustained uptime. To further strengthen resilience, we went a step further, building a custom mobile proxy farm in the client’s target region, designed specifically for this project. This dedicated infrastructure gave the client access to unblockable, carrier-grade mobile IPs, providing data continuity even as new anti-scraping systems were deployed.

This one-of-a-kind setup gave the client:

• A hybrid proxy architecture able to adapt instantly to new block patterns
• 24/7 monitoring and rapid response, with a dedicated team of engineers
• Complete resilience against evolving anti-scraping systems

Within just four months, Rayobyte scaled its internal team from 1 to 10 specialists, dedicated solely to maintaining uptime and adapting to the target website’s defenses.

The results

Today, Rayobyte’s system processes 200–300 million successful page requests every month for the client, maintaining uptime and reliability even as new anti-bot mechanisms appear.

By partnering with Rayobyte, the company has achieved:

• Near-zero downtime in scraping operations
• Rapid recovery from every major block event
• Confidence in data continuity, with a fully managed, always-available pipeline
