    Use a headless browser like Puppeteer to follow redirects, as it can handle complex redirection flows.

    Analyze the redirection URL. If it’s to a CAPTCHA page, use a CAPTCHA-solving service or switch IPs.

    Consider reducing the request frequency, as frequent redirects may indicate an anti-bot mechanism.

    If you’re using Python Requests, enable allow_redirects=True to follow redirects automatically.
