Why Your Marketplace Scraper Keeps Getting Blocked (And Why It’s Not a Code Problem)

About this episode

The episode discusses the challenges of marketplace scrapers being blocked due to anti-bot systems focusing on network identity rather than code issues.

If your marketplace scraper keeps hitting 403s and CAPTCHAs, the problem isn't your code: it's your IP identity. Datacenter and static IPs fail anti-bot scoring systems. The fix: rotating residential proxies, geo-targeted to your marketplace's locale, with a rotation model matched to your target's session behavior.
