I am looking for an experienced Python Web Scraping Developer who can solve a Cloudflare CAPTCHA / anti-bot access issue in my existing scraper.

Project Overview

I already have a Python web scraper that automatically visits a specific website and extracts the required data.

However, whenever the scraper tries to access the website, a Cloudflare CAPTCHA/security challenge appears and prevents it from continuing.

Important: The target website does not provide any API. The scraping process needs to work through the website's regular web interface.

I am looking for an experienced developer who can investigate this issue and provide a reliable, long-term solution.

Main Requirements

- Analyze my existing Python scraper.
- Investigate why Cloudflare is blocking the scraper.
- Find a reliable and authorized approach to resolve the access issue.
- Integrate the solution into my existing scraper.
- Make the scraper suitable for continuous VPS deployment.
- Ensure automatic recovery after temporary errors, browser crashes, or server restarts.
- Test the complete solution in a real VPS environment.

Long-Term Running Requirements

This is not a one-time scraping task.

My goal is to keep the scraper running continuously on a VPS:

- 24 hours a day.
- 7 days a week.
- 30 days a month.
- Continuously for several months or longer.

I need a stable solution that minimizes interruptions and prevents unexpected access blocks during long-term operation.

The scraper should run automatically without requiring constant manual intervention.

Before Applying – Please Answer These Questions

Please explain clearly in your proposal:

1. How would you solve the Cloudflare CAPTCHA issue?
2. What technical approach or tools would you use?
3. How would you make the scraper reliable for 24/7 operation?
4. How would you handle temporary blocks, session expiration, and unexpected errors?
5. Have you previously worked with Cloudflare-protected websites?
6. Can you implement and test the solution directly on my VPS?
7. What is your estimated price and delivery time?

Payment & Project Details

This is a PAID project. I am willing to pay for a reliable and properly implemented solution.

I can provide:

- My existing Python scraper.
- Target website details.
- A PNG screenshot showing the Cloudflare CAPTCHA challenge.

I will initially discuss the technical approach with interested developers. After reviewing their experience and proposed solutions, I will select the most suitable developer for the project.

Please apply only if you have practical experience with Python web scraping, Cloudflare challenges, browser automation, and long-term VPS deployment.

I am looking for a long-term, stable solution rather than a temporary workaround.
