Can a website block you from web scraping?
If you send repetitive requests from the same IP, the website owners can detect your footprint and may block your web scrapers by checking the server log files. To avoid this, you can use rotating proxies. A rotating proxy is a proxy server that allocates a new IP address from a set of proxies stored in the proxy pool.
Why is my IP blocked at a website?
The most common scenario for getting blocked by your server is trying to log in too many times too quickly or with incorrect credentials. Most servers have a time limit placed for the number of login attempts.
Can websites ban your IP?
Website owners and service providers protect their users and assets by blocking abuses. If they detect an abuse, they may block an access to their website or service by banning IP address or blocking a user account. The best way to solve this problem is to abide by providers' rules and terms.
Can I use VPN for web scraping?
Where proxies provide a layer of protection by masking the IP address of your web scraper, a VPN also masks the data that flows between your scraper and the target site through an encrypted tunnel. This will make the content that you are scraping invisible to ISPs and anyone else with access to your network.
