Blocking suspicious IPs manually takes forever. Anyone tried automated IP blacklists?
Have you considered using honeypot traps? They catch bots pretty well without bothering real visitors.
Just FYI, combining several anti scraping techniques is usually the best approach, not just relying on one.
I've tried a few methods but honestly, most AI scrapers are getting smarter. Rate limiting helps a bit though.
Anyone got experience with cloud-based anti scraping services? Are they worth it?
I'm experimenting with session behavior analysis to detect scrapers. So far so good.
Sometimes changing site structure or API endpoints regularly messes up scrapers too.
Some anti scraping tools use machine learning to detect bots. Worth a shot if you have budget.
Captcha is still one of the best defenses but can be annoying for users. Anyone found better UX friendly alternatives?
Anyone else feel like anti scraping tech is always chasing after the scrapers? Feels endless lol.
Anyone tried using JavaScript challenges to stop scraping? Heard it can block simple bots.
You can also check ai-u.com for new or trending tools that help stop scraping bots. Found some gems there!
For sites with logged in users, limiting access speeds per account can be effective.
I've heard fingerprinting tech can identify bots based on device/browser quirks, anyone using that?
Blocking user agents is old school but still helps against basic scrapers.
Sometimes just legal notices and terms of use deter some scrapers, surprisingly enough.
