    Some websites provide data based on your IP location, so rotating through IPs from different regions can help.

    If scraping involves maps or geolocation services, try accessing the backend APIs, like Google Maps API, to fetch data more directly.

    Be mindful of the limitations on geolocation services, as some websites may restrict access based on location.

    Use a proxy with an IP address from the required country. Residential proxies often work best for this purpose.

    Switch to mobile proxies, as these are harder to detect and are often allowed in more regions than data center proxies.

    I use VPNs to set my location in a specific country, which helps avoid some location-based blocks.

    Some scrapers use headless browsers with geolocation set in the browser settings to bypass regional restrictions.

    If the content is geo-restricted, try using TOR, which lets you cycle through exit nodes in different countries.
