For sites with consistent visual patterns, using pixel-based location recognition with headless browsers helps capture data visually.

Making fewer requests to high-risk pages, like login or profile pages, minimizes suspicion and keeps the scraper running longer.

For infographics with repetitive layouts, I train custom OCR models to recognize and extract specific patterns more accurately.

Automating interactions through a headless browser with geolocation settings often bypasses restrictions, especially for location-specific data.

I track top-selling categories on both Shopee and Lazada to identify which items are currently trending in Southeast Asia.
