Master modern unblocking tactics against the latest anti-bot defenses

Websites are deploying advanced browser fingerprinting, behavioral analysis, and server-side machine learning models that detect scraping patterns in seconds.

Captchas have evolved with dynamic challenges and increased sensitivity.

Even seasoned developers are finding their old tactics — proxy rotation, user agents, headless browsers — no longer enough. To consistently access data at scale, you need to rethink your unblocking strategy with more precision, automation, and visibility into what each target site is doing under the hood.

Join Zyte’s Head of Engineering, Akshay Philar, and software engineers from the Antiban Team, Ionut-Cezar Ciubotariu and Evgeny Slaikovsky, as they walk through:

• Explore real-world scraping challenges caused by fingerprinting, JavaScript traps, and next-gen captchas

• Understand how Zyte API handles unblocking with advanced crawling patterns using headers, sessions, cookies, and actions

• Learn how to reveal a site’s hidden tech stack before your scraper even runs.

• Get hands-on tips for building resilient scrapers that can scale without constant firefighting.
