I was deep in a Reddit thread about web scraping frustrations when someone casually mentioned they stopped worrying about anti-bot systems entirely. That intrigued me because I was manually rotating proxies for a USA weather data project and failing miserably. I swapped my old setup for https://floppydata.com/web-scraping/ , and I am completely satisfied with the performance. It lets me extract complete web data in HTML or TXT formats in literally one click. I get reliable web data access at scale without writing complex bypassing logic. There are simply no more failed requests. It handles the hard parts in the background, leaving me with clean data and a lot of free time to actually enjoy my weekend.
