Actowiz Solutions: Advanced Bot Mitigation and Data Aggregation

Actowiz-Solutions-Advanced-Bot-Mitigation-and-Data

To overcome these challenges, Actowiz implemented an innovative data aggregation platform, focusing on bypassing complex bot mitigation measures while ensuring compliance with web scraping best practices. The solution involved several advanced techniques:

Headless Browsers

Utilized tools like Puppeteer and Selenium to render dynamic JavaScript-based content and bypass CAPTCHA challenges. These tools simulated human-like browsing behavior, enabling the extraction of real-time data from websites with heavy JavaScript rendering.

CAPTCHA Solvers

Integrated 2Captcha and AntiCaptcha services to automatically bypass CAPTCHA challenges, allowing uninterrupted data scraping without manual intervention.

Proxy Rotation & Residential IPs

Implemented rotating proxies and residential IP services to avoid IP-based rate limiting and detection. This ensured that requests appeared as though they came from legitimate users, bypassing IP blocks and allowing Actowiz to scale its data extraction efforts across multiple websites.

Geo-Restriction Handling

Employed geo-targeting techniques to simulate user access from different regions, circumventing geo-restrictions and enabling the extraction of region-specific pricing and availability data.

Session Management

Managed cookies and sessions effectively to maintain a consistent data flow, ensuring compliance with session-based authentication and cookies tracking.

Rate Limiting Control

Implemented gradual and throttled data extraction techniques, ensuring that scraping actions were spread out to avoid rate limiting and detection, while maintaining consistent data collection.
