A comprehensive written guide on techniques for preventing or hindering website scraping, expanded from a Stack Overflow answer. It explains how different types of scrapers work and the trade-offs of blocking them without harming real users and search engines.
Use cases
- prevent bots from scraping my website
- stop scrapers from stealing my content
- learn how web scrapers work
- block wget and curl from downloading my site
- protect website data from automated extraction
- anti-bot protection techniques for a website
When to choose
- you want a conceptual overview of scraping prevention strategies
- you need to understand scraper types before choosing countermeasures
- you want a free, readable reference on anti-bot trade-offs
When to avoid
- you need up-to-date techniques, as the guide was written in 2017 and is partly obsolete
- you need a working tool or library rather than documentation
- you want to build a scraper rather than prevent one
