Is it that Cloudlare can always spot crawlers because of the amount of data they collect? Or is it there's always a nifty new scraper that will get away with it?
- nabla9 1y agoIt's that Cloudflare can always spot crawlers. Few million random urls crawled is nothing, and provides no value for AI companies, they want all. Comprehensive crawl of LinkedIn, FB, instagram, IMDB, Amazon, would be worth a lot.
- mmarian 1y ago> Cloudflare can always spot crawlers I mention in the post a scraping service that Cloudflare isn't spotting: https://www.scrapingbee.com/blog/how-to-bypass-cloudflare-antibot-protection-at-scale/ https://www.scrapingbee.com/blog/how-to-bypass-cloudflare-an... Plenty of open-source ones as well that could bypass, eg maybe this one that came up in search https://github.com/VeNoMouS/cloudscraper https://github.com/VeNoMouS/cloudscraper Combine with residential proxies and you're just not going to find them. > Comprehensive crawl of LinkedIn, FB, instagram, IMDB, Amazon, would be worth a lot. Just from a quick Google search: - LinkedIn: https://brightdata.com/products/datasets/linkedin https://brightdata.com/products/datasets/linkedin - Amazon: https://www.junglescout.com/features/product-database/ https://www.junglescout.com/features/product-database/
- nabla9 1y agoAs I said, partial scrapes of small subsets over long time provide no real value for AI scrapers. Just an example: Brightdata linkedin database has 19 million entries. Linkedin has over 1 billion members. As I said, partial scrapes of small subsets over long time provide no real value for AI scrapers (repeating the main argument).
