Cloudflare protects roughly 20% of the web. Their Bot Management, Turnstile (replacing reCAPTCHA), and JS challenges block naive scrapers instantly. curl and requests fail before reaching your data.
Why HTTP clients fail: TLS fingerprint mismatch (JA3/JA4), missing HTTP/2 settings, no JavaScript execution, absent cookies from prior challenge resolution.
Our production stack: Playwright with stealth plugins, session warming (visit homepage, wait, navigate naturally), persistent cookie jars per target, residential proxy rotation, and request pacing that mimics human browsing patterns.
What we don't do: credential stuffing, bypassing paywalls, scraping behind authentication without client authorization, or aggressive DDoS-like request volumes.
Success rates vary by protection level — "I'm Under Attack" mode is hardest. We benchmark during quoting and set realistic SLAs. Proxyway's 2025 report lists Shein, G2, and Hyatt among the toughest targets; we handle similar daily.
