Modern Web Scraping Landscape
Web scraping in 2025 is both easier and harder. Tools have improved dramatically, but websites became more sophisticated at detecting and blocking bots.
Why Web Scraping Matters
Essential for competitive intelligence to monitor competitor pricing, market research aggregating data from multiple sources, lead generation, price monitoring, and content aggregation.
Technology Stack
Modern scraping requires Playwright or Selenium for JavaScript-heavy sites, BeautifulSoup for HTML parsing, Scrapy framework, rotating proxies to avoid IP blocks, and CAPTCHA solvers.
Anti-Detection Strategies
Counter bot detection by rotating user agents, using residential proxies, mimicking human behavior with random delays and mouse movements, and handling CAPTCHAs properly.
Legal and Ethical Considerations
Always scrape responsibly: respect robots.txt, use rate limiting to not overwhelm servers, review and comply with Terms of Service, follow GDPR regulations for personal data, and only collect publicly available data.
