alecxe/scrapy-fake-useragent
Random User-Agent middleware based on fake-useragent
When collecting data from websites, your requests often include a 'User-Agent' which tells the website what browser you're using. If you make too many requests with the same User-Agent, websites might block you. This tool helps web scrapers by automatically switching the User-Agent for each request, making your data collection appear more natural and less likely to be blocked. It’s for anyone building web scraping tools in Python to gather publicly available web data.
689 stars. No commits in the last 6 months. Available on PyPI.
Use this if you are building a web scraper and need to avoid being blocked by websites that detect repeated requests from the same 'browser' signature.
Not ideal if your web scraping efforts are small-scale and do not require sophisticated measures to mimic different browser types.
