SilentScraper is a cutting-edge web scraping solution designed for professionals. Built with advanced steal protocols, it operates undetectably in the background, bypassing anti-scraping mechanisms to collect structured data at scale. It's lightwight architecture mimics humans browsing patterns, rotating IP addresses, spoofing user agents, and more.

1. Setup

• Install Required Libraries

pip install requests beautifulsoup4 lxml random httpx time aiohttp aiofiles asyncio roundrobin scrapy

• Prepare User-Agents and Proxy Text Files:
  • Obtain a list of proxies (free or paid) and store them inside the blank proxyList.txt file.
  • We have inlcuded a list of user-agents in the userAgents.txt file, however you can modify to your liking.

Key Components

Proxy Management:

• Uses a pool of proxies to distribute requests across multiple IP addresses.
• Rotate proxies to prevent IP blocking & rate limiting.

User Agent Rotation:

• Uses a list of user-agents to mimic different browsers and devices.
• Rotate user-agents for each request to avoid detection.

Error Handling:

• Handles common errors like HTTP errors, CAPTCHA's, and timeouts.
• Implement retries with exponetial backoff for failed attempts.

Request Throttling:

• Adds delays between requests to mimic human behavior and avoid triggering rate limits.

CAPTCHA Solving:

• Detects CAPTCHA's and utilizes a CAPTCHA solving tool or service such as 2CAPTCHA if needed.

Data Parsing:

• Uses BeautifulSoup4 to parse HTML and extract relevant data
• Handle changes in Google's HTML structure gracefully.

Pagination:

• Navigate through multiple pages of search results by modifying query parameters (e.g. start parameter)

Data Storage:

• Store scraped data in a structured format selected by the user (e.g. CSV, JSON, or a database)

Logging & Monitoring:

• Log important events (e.g. requests, errors) for debugging and monitoring.

Ethical and Legal Compliance

• Respect Google's robots.txt file and terms of service.
• Avoid overloading Google's servers with excessive requests.
