Member01/17/2025 at 6:27 am in reply to: What data can be scraped from Yelp.com using Ruby?Using proxies and user-agent rotation helps avoid detection by Yelp’s anti-scraping mechanisms. Repeated requests from the same IP address or browser signature increase the likelihood of being flagged. Rotating these attributes and introducing random delays reduces this risk. These measures are essential for large-scale scraping projects.

Member01/17/2025 at 6:27 am in reply to: How to scrape job postings from Upwork.com using Python?Using rotating proxies and randomizing user-agent headers helps avoid detection by Upwork’s anti-scraping mechanisms. Sending multiple requests from the same IP address or browser signature increases the risk of being flagged. Proxies distribute requests across different IPs, while rotating headers mimic real users by simulating various browsers and devices. Combining these measures with randomized request intervals ensures long-term scraper functionality. These precautions are vital for large-scale scraping projects.

Member01/17/2025 at 6:25 am in reply to: How do you scrape data from websites with infinite scrolling?One trick I’ve used is to set a limit on the number of scrolls. This ensures that my scraper doesn’t get stuck in an infinite loop if the site keeps loading data endlessly.
