Sometimes websites like Amazon or Google will ban you after too many requests. It's easy to detect because your script will fail for some obscure reason. Most of the time, if the HTML contains the word captcha or if the websites returns 403, it means that you probably got banned. But don't panic, you can use a VPN coupled with IP auto switching. Here's an example of a scraper doing IP auto switching:
from expressvpn import wrapper
import logging
def main():
while True:
try:
scrape()
except BannedException as be:
logging.info('BANNED EXCEPTION in __MAIN__')
logging.info(be)
logging.info('Lets change our PUBLIC IP GUYS!')
change_ip()
except Exception as e:
logging.error('Exception raised.')
logging.error(e)
def change_ip():
max_attempts = 10
attempts = 0
while True:
attempts += 1
try:
logging.info('GETTING NEW IP')
wrapper.random_connect()
logging.info('SUCCESS')
return
except Exception as e:
if attempts > max_attempts:
logging.error('Max attempts reached for VPN. Check its configuration.')
logging.error('Browse https://github.com/philipperemy/expressvpn-python.')
logging.error('Program will exit.')
exit(1)
logging.error(e)
logging.error('Skipping exception.')
