Embodiments disclose a system that allows for improved generation of web requests for scraping that, because of the nature of the requests and time and manner they are sent out, appear more organic, as in human generated, than conventional automated scraping systems. The system then manages how a client request to scrape a target website is made to the site, masking the request in a manner that makes it appear to the Web server as if the request is not generated by an automated system. In this way, by appearing more organic, Web servers may be less likely to block requests from the disclosed system or may take longer to block requests from the disclosed system. By avoiding Web servers blocking requests and extending the lifetime of IP proxies before they are blocked, embodiments can use a limited IP proxy address space more efficiently.

Direct data center request for proxy web scraping

Systems and methods to manage and regulate the requests of multiple proxy clients are disclosed. In one aspect, the system and methods disclosed herein aids in configuring proxy server(s) with a rate-limit functionality. Configuration of the rate-limit functionality may be realized by, but not limited to, installing configuration file(s) and/or software application(s) on the proxy server(s). The configuration provides information about the list of restricted and unrestricted domains and their respective request limit specification in a given time frame. Therefore, each time before a proxy server forwards the clients' requests to a target domain, the proxy server checks and ensures that the request count to the particular target domain is well within the limit specified in the request limit specification. Thus, the embodiments described herein aid in preventing the IP addresses of proxy service providers from being blocked or denied from the target websites.

Regulation methods for proxy services

Systems and methods of task implementation are extended as provided herein and target the web crawling process through a step of submitting a request by a customer to a web crawler. The systems and methods allow a more complex request for a web crawler to be defined in order to receive more specific data. In one aspect, a method for data extraction and gathering from a Network by a Service provider infrastructure include the following steps: checking the parameters of a request received from a User's Device, adjusting the request parameters according to pre-established Scraping logic, selecting a Proxy according to the criteria of the pre-established Scraping logic, sending the adjusted request to the Target through the selected Proxy, checking metadata received from the Target, and forwarding the data to the User's device.
