Brian #3: caniscrape - Know before you scrape. Analyze any website's anti-bot protections in seconds.
reddit announcement and discussion
caniscrape checks a website for common anti-bot mechanisms and reports:
- A difficulty score (0–10)
- Which protections are active (e.g., Cloudflare, Akamai, hCaptcha, etc.)
- What tools you’ll likely need (headless browsers, proxies, CAPTCHA solvers, etc.)
- Whether using a scraping API might be better
This helps you decide the right scraping approach before you waste time building a bot that keeps getting blocked.
