I think I understand pagination — but can you elaborate on proxy rotation?
> combines the practicality of language models with the powerful features of a traditional scraper such as pagination and proxy rotation
- cyanydeez 3y agoYou basically switch out the proxy you use to scrape. Services by Google or others can identify scrapers cause they'll use the same proxy to request paged
- jimvdv 3y agoIt sends our request over a lot of proxies so your scraper does not get rate limited or blocked by ip address.
- gymbeaux 3y agoWhen scraping websites, it’s often necessary to change your IP address to bypass the website’s anti-scraping measures. To achieve this, there are proxy services out there that are designed with web scraping in mind- so it’s easy to programmatically change your IP address from within a scraper program.
