Monitoring XHR requests while interacting with the chat often reveals direct API calls that can be scraped more efficiently.

Introducing human-like behaviors, like small pauses between scrolling and clicking, makes the bot behavior less predictable.

Some sites offer high-resolution downloads, so I scrape these versions to improve the OCR output compared to low-quality images.

In some cases, switching to a local version of the site’s domain (like .fr for France) can reveal region-specific content without proxies.

Traveloka and Agoda often use APIs for bookings, so if available, I rely on the API for structured data on hotel prices and availability.
