Another enhancement is implementing proxy rotation to avoid detection. Craigslist monitors traffic for unusual patterns, and repeated requests from the same IP can trigger anti-bot mechanisms. By integrating a proxy rotation service, you can distribute requests across multiple IP addresses. This makes your scraper appear less like a bot and more like genuine users accessing the site. Pairing this with randomized headers further reduces the likelihood of detection.

Using a realistic user-agent string helps avoid detection. I usually rotate between different user-agents, such as Chrome, Firefox, and Safari, to make my scraper less predictable.
