Here's an idea (although probably an unpopular one around here): if a site is responding to your scraping attempts with 403s -- a.k.a. "Forbidden" -- stop what you're doing and go away.
- skinnymuch 10y agoThis is a very obvious thing to say. Perhaps it's needed to be said, I don't know -- It's just a very obvious counter.
- jlgaddis 10y agoYeah, it seemed obvious... but judging by all of the comments here on how to "bypass" 403s, it actually wasn't obvious at all.
- skinnymuch 10y agoI meant it is obvious in that everyone knows that. But they'll still want to bypass it. So everyone is completely aware of it.
