QUESTION

How can I pretend to be in a certain country during web scraping?

Asked 2020-Feb-28 at 21:38

I want to scrape a website, but it should look like I am from a specific (let's say USA for this example) country (to make sure that my results are valid).

I am working in Python (Scrapy). And for scraping, I am using the rotating user agents (see: https://pypi.org/project/scrapy-fake-useragent-fix/).

The user agents are what I need to scrape. But can I use this, in combination with the request to pretend that I am in a specific country?

If there are some possibilities (in scrapy, Python) please let me know. Appreciated!

Example how I used the User Agents in my script

to pretent a certain country you need an IP from that country. Unfortunately this is nothing you can configure just by scrapy settings etc. But you could use a proxy service like crawlera:

https://support.scrapinghub.com/support/solutions/articles/22000188398-restricting-crawlera-ips-to-a-specific-region

Note: unfortunalty this service is not free and the cheapest plan is about 25 EUR. There are many other cheaper services available. The reason Crawlera is expensive is that they offer ban detection and only serve good IPs for your chosen domain. I've found them useful for the cost on Amazon and Google. Though on lesser domains a cheaper service with unlimited service would be more suitable.

"500 Internal Server Error" when combining Scrapy over Splash with an HTTP proxy

Asked 2017-Jul-14 at 14:17

I'm trying to crawl a Scrapy spider in a Docker container using both Splash (to render JavaScript) and Tor through Privoxy (to provide anonymity). Here is the docker-compose.yml I'm using to this end:

Following the structure of the Aquarium project as suggested by paul trmbrth, I found that it is essential to name the .ini file default.ini, not proxy.ini (otherwise it doesn't get 'picked up' automatically). I managed to get the scraper to work in this way (cf. my self-answer to How to use Scrapy with both Splash and Tor over Privoxy in Docker Compose).

Share USER_AGENT between scrapy_fake_useragent and cfscrape scrapy extension

Asked 2017-Jan-13 at 17:05

I'm trying to create a scraper for cloudfare protected website using cfscrape, privoxy and tor, and scrapy_fake_useragent

I'm using cfscrape python extension to bypass cloudfare protection with scrapy and scrapy_fake_useragent to inject random real USER_AGENT information into headers.

As indicated by cfscrape documentation : You must use the same user-agent string for obtaining tokens and for making requests with those tokens, otherwise Cloudflare will flag you as a bot.
