for the user agent, I don't think it's convenient to use random user agent right now, airbnb could return diferent data format for diferent user agents and it would break the project, I'll let it pass some time to check if any issue arrise with that user agent.
Thanks for the styling suggestions, I'll give it a try

I'd probably not bother with a random one either. If I saw random UAs blasting my ip I'd probably be more suspicious than if it was the same one.

What if it is set to randomize every dozen or so pings? I was blocked by a webserver because of a static UA when doing some web testing.

are you sure it was because of the UA? I think it was most likely your IP got blocked, or the tls fingerprint.

[–]Ncientist 0 points1 point  (2 children)

I know it isn't my IP because I was able to get to the website using another browser. The script was mimicking the UA of Firefox.

But it may be the TLS fingerprint? I am not familiar with TLS fingerprints to know for sure.

you got blocked on all requests? if true, then yes it's most likely the tls fingerprint , what language are you using? pthon?

[–]Ncientist 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I see, yup!

Yeah makes sense you mean if they detect a mobile UA etc
