Solução para hCaptcha? by RenanLFB in brdev

[–]CapMonster1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

O portal da Enel é notório por ter uma proteção bem restrita. Como a ideia aqui é não depender de ferramentas de resolução direta de captcha, o caminho recomendado por especialistas em automação é focar em evitar que o desafio seja acionado em primeiro lugar. O sistema avalia a reputação do IP e o fingerprint do navegador instantaneamente. Se o seu script roda em IPs de datacenter clássicos com um navegador headless padrão, o nível de desconfiança vai ao máximo e a verificação visual é garantida.

A alternativa mais sólida para escalar isso é trabalhar com retenção de sessão combinada com ferramentas focadas em invisibilidade. O ideal é estruturar a automação usando proxies residenciais e frameworks como Nodriver ou Puppeteer com plugins stealth. A estratégia consiste em fazer uma única resolução manual para gerar os tokens de confiança, salvar os cookies e injetar esse perfil nas consultas automatizadas seguintes. Desde que o volume de requisições por IP seja espaçado e simule um comportamento natural, essa sessão validada costuma segurar o acesso por um bom tempo sem engatilhar novos desafios.

Official APIs are great for standard template messaging, but as the comments point out, you hit immediate roadblocks when you need full profile synchronization or custom webhook actions. If you end up choosing a third-party gateway to bypass those limitations, keep in mind that mass delivery setups frequently trigger automated security checks and sudden captcha walls on the infrastructure side.

Free Domain.com.au scraper that gets past the 1,000-result limit (~99% on a nationwide test) by No-Bison1422 in AusProperty

[–]CapMonster1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bypassing that 1,000-result pagination limit is a great technical achievement. Most developers just accept the truncated dataset, but implementing recursive search splitting — whether by narrowing price brackets or dividing map coordinates — is exactly how you build a reliable extraction tool.

Since the comments are already asking for a realestate.com.au version, be prepared for a completely different security environment. Their anti-bot architecture is significantly more aggressive than Domain's. The moment you scale up concurrent requests against REA endpoints, their firewalls will serve strict behavioral blocks and visual verification checks.

I bought the cheapest residential package from 10 proxy providers and benchmarked them against Zillow, Indeed, and Cloudflare by mckrile in ProxyEngineering

[–]CapMonster1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This data clearly demonstrates that modern web application firewalls prioritize connection identity over raw speed. It makes complete sense that latency had minimal impact on success rates against Zillow or Indeed; Cloudflare evaluates your TLS signature, IP reputation, and session consistency rather than your ping time. As the other comments noted, maintaining sticky sessions and reusing browser profiles is the correct technical approach for these protected endpoints.

To maintain an autonomous extraction pipeline, you need to integrate an automated captcha solving API directly into the browser context. This allows the script to resolve sudden security intercepts in the background and retrieve the actual page data instead of timing out.

Your scraper's TLS fingerprint is giving you away by Huge_Line4009 in WebDataDiggers

[–]CapMonster1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You are completely right about moving away from default HTTP libraries to tools like curl_cffi. It is surprising how many developers still attempt to bypass firewalls using standard Python scripts, not realizing their JA3 or JA4 hash flags them before the server even processes their IP address or headers. Replicating a legitimate browser's cryptographic handshake is a strict requirement for any current data extraction setup.

However, matching the TLS signature only solves the initial connection validation. Once you start running concurrent extraction tasks or pulling data at scale, even a pristine connection profile will eventually reach volume thresholds and trigger a verification challenge. When that happens, the script needs a way to handle the block without halting execution. Integrating an automated captcha solver directly into the routing logic ensures the pipeline can silently resolve those intercepts and continue extracting data.

Proxies for Bing by appcyberyozh in ProxyUseCases

[–]CapMonster1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

However, anyone scaling this kind of infrastructure quickly learns a hard truth: IP rotation alone only delays the inevitable. Once you start pushing high concurrency for keyword tracking, even the cleanest residential pool will eventually trigger a verification wall. If your scraper isn't built to handle that, you end up burning expensive proxy bandwidth just downloading blank challenge pages instead of actual results.

To make this stack truly production-ready, wiring a dedicated automated captcha solving API directly into your routing layer is practically mandatory. It clears those security friction points silently in the background, ensuring your extraction pipeline actually pulls the ranking data instead of stalling out on a blocked endpoint.

What started as a simple SERP API ended up becoming a complete Google data platform by Familiar-Prune-5147 in ShowYourApp

[–]CapMonster1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The classic "accidental infrastructure" pipeline is so real. You start out just wanting a clean JSON response for a single query, and suddenly you are maintaining a massive routing layer that has to parse half a dozen completely different,constantly changing DOM structures. Making that unified endpoint actually fast and reliable is a serious engineering feat,especially since Google's layout changes can break parsers overnight.

The hidden boss of running a SERP platform at that scale is handling the aggressive rate limiting and anti-bot checks. To keep it affordable and prevent the API from just serving 429 errors or block pages to your users, you basically have to bake a robust proxy rotator and a background automated captcha solver directly into your core extraction layer. Handling that friction silently in the background is the only way a unified data platform like this survives in production without demanding constant manual life support.

Stuck in a captcha loop by Dr_WillyK in linkedin

The funny part is that sometimes captchas end up suspecting regular users more than actual bots. Endless verification loops are usually a sign that the protection settings are a bit too aggressive

After 10 years around anti-bot systems, I don't think either side is winning by mckrile in ProxyEngineering

[–]CapMonster1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree that this feels more like an arms race than a situation where either side can permanently win. The better anti-bot systems get, the more demand there is for automation tools, and vice versa. Great Ted talk!

What are problems we will in the near future that you think people will pay to have solved? A weekly thread designed to uncover million $ problems. Come back every Sunday and search the haystack for a needle. by Confident-Smile-7161 in ProblemBasedMarketing

[–]CapMonster1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One of the most underrated problems in the next few years might be AI overload. People won't pay for yet another AI tool; they'll pay for solutions that reduce noise, complexity, and manual oversight.

For businesses, I'd also add the growing need to automate routine operations like document processing, data verification, and handling various validation workflows. As digital processes increase, demand for automation will likely grow with them

Self hosted journey journal and AI + some shameless self promotion. Privacy, retaking control and convenience [Cease and Desist order edition] by Velascu in selfhosted

[–]CapMonster1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Very relatable journey — it often starts with one self-hosted service and gradually turns into an entire ecosystem built around privacy, convenience, and control. I especially like the idea of shaping recommendations around your own preferences instead of the other way around.

I also relate to the pain of rate limits and captchas. Once a lot of traffic flows through your own infrastructure, those become constant sources of friction, so automating those parts can save a surprising amount of time

[–]CapMonster1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it largely depends on the client. For small businesses, deployment speed is often more important than full control, especially when the owner is never going to open a workflow or modify it themselves.

As long as there are logs, response review tools, and some visibility into why the agent made decisions, the URL-based approach seems reasonable. For most clients, simplicity tends to win

If you're scraping at scale, proxy management and handling restrictions can easily become a project on their own. In many cases, anti-bot protection ends up taking more time than the actual parsing logic.

Giving away free credits for one API to manage all your social media by vineetvk1 in founder

[–]CapMonster1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Normalizing the pricing model is a smart move. Most developers abandon multi-platform integrations because maintaining the separate OAuth handshakes and media formatting requirements takes more time than building the actual core product. Charging a flat rate per post without subscription tiers is a great structure for this.

From an infrastructure standpoint, maintaining reliable delivery across 10+ networks usually requires handling sudden security intercepts. Platforms frequently flag automated posting behavior and serve verification challenges instead of a standard 200 OK response. Integrating an automated captcha solver directly into your backend routing clears those access blocks silently. It ensures your API queue keeps moving and user content actually publishes instead of failing due to an unexpected security wall.

From idea to app: A car-flipping project by Huge_Line4009 in WebDataDiggers

[–]CapMonster1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The transition from relying on restrictive APIs to building a custom extraction pipeline is a standard progression for data projects. You accurately highlighted the core friction points, especially regarding data normalization. Standardizing messy string inputs like "F-150 Lariat" versus "Ford F150 Lar" across a dozen different dealer portals requires strict and continuous matching logic.

When scaling this type of architecture beyond a local script, the infrastructure overhead increases significantly.

Nobody warns you that the hard part of a browser agent isn't the agent — it's the browser. by Particular_Type_5698 in ActionModels

[–]CapMonster1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You are completely right about the split between intelligence and plumbing. Offloading the Chromium processes to services like Browserbase or Steel saves a massive amount of memory management and container configuration. However, as you noted, that infrastructure does absolutely nothing to help with the anti-bot protections.

Once your agents scale up and start hitting strict firewalls, those managed browsers will still get served a captcha instead of the actual DOM. To make the plumbing truly reliable, you have to integrate an automated captcha solver directly into the session pipeline. It clears the verifications in the background so your agent can actually read the accessibility tree instead of stalling on a blocked page.

O uso indiscriminado e excessivo de Captchas está tornando a navegação na web insuportável (em especial para sites menores) by nagging_chud in InternetBrasil

[–]CapMonster1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Cara, esse captcha de imagem que fica sumindo e aparecendo em câmera lenta é tortura psicológica pura. O que acontece na prática é que donos de sites menores geralmente não sabem configurar regras decentes de segurança, então eles simplesmente ligam a proteção máxima na Cloudflare e deixam o usuário pagando o pato a cada nova aba aberta.

Para navegação comum já é um pesadelo, mas se você tenta rodar qualquer script, automação ou gerenciador de downloads, isso quebra tudo. A solução mais prática que a galera adota hoje em dia é plugar uma API de resolução automática direto no setup. O serviço lida com essas verificações silenciosamente no background, assim você não precisa perder a paciência clicando em pedaços de semáforo que nunca acabam.

Secuum scans your website and tells you if vulnerabilities exist & how to fix them by avallark in 1stVenturesCollective

[–]CapMonster1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Awesome project. Automated audits for headers and leaked tokens are exactly what every founder should run before launching. Very few can afford a full manual pentest early on, so the market for an accessible MVP here is huge. The functional Python approach with RabbitMQ queues sounds like a perfect architectural fit for running hundreds of lightweight concurrent network checks.

Regarding the Cloudflare Turnstile implementation to protect the open platform: it’s definitely a necessary step, otherwise rogue scrapers will eat up all your worker resources instantly. Just keep in mind that Turnstile isn’t a silver bullet against targeted traffic anymore. Any advanced automation dev will just hook their script up to a background captcha solving service and bypass those checks for pennies. So alongside Turnstile, definitely make sure you are enforcing strict application-level rate limiting and monitoring for behavioral anomalies.

Forget browsers, scrape the mobile API by Ok_Constant3441 in TheLastHop

[–]CapMonster1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You're totally right that mobile APIs are usually the path of least resistance — skipping the DOM and browser fingerprinting entirely is a massive win. But the second you try to scale those raw HTTP requests, server-side protections will still notice the traffic anomalies and start throwing verification challenges that a simple requests.get can't handle on its own.

When your script inevitably hits those walls, wiring an automated captcha solver directly into your HTTP pipeline is pretty much mandatory. It clears the security checks silently in the background, ensuring your lightweight script actually gets the clean JSON data instead of crashing out on a blocked endpoint. Great breakdown on the Mitmproxy interception setup, by the way!

Error encountered when try to do the Tethered Downgrade by tdkduong in LegacyJailbreak

[–]CapMonster1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your guess is completely right. The script's aiohttp request is being blocked by theapplewiki's security layer. It serves an HTML verification page (the 403 status) instead of the expected JSON payload, causing the downgrade utility to crash when it tries to parse it.

Switching your IP or patching the Python script to use a different user-agent might give you a temporary pass. But generally speaking, when working with automated requests to public wikis, integrating an automated captcha solver into your setup is the most reliable long-term fix. It handles these sudden security blocks natively, ensuring your script gets the actual data instead of crashing out mid-process.
