    Alright so if you run a self-hosted blog, you've probably noticed AI companies scraping it for training data. And not just a little (RIP to your server bill). There isn't much you can do about it without cloudflare. These companies ignore robots.txt, and you're competing with teams with more resources than you. It's you vs the MJs of programming, you're not going to win. But there is a solution. Now I'm not going to say it's a great solution...but a solution is a solution. If your website contains content that will trigger their scraper's safeguards, it will get dropped from their data…

    There is a growing number of companies offering anti-bot protection SaaS to protect websites from scraping by automated bots based on Puppeteer/Selenium. Most of them rely on browser properties such as headers, javascript properties (window., navigator.), behavior analysis, to build device/user fingerprints and match it against a database of "whitelisted" fingerprints (typical user behavior/settings/device props etc). For the past few months, together with two other devs I have worked on a customized Puppeteer/Playwright scraping backend. It's essentially a drop-in…

    I've launched the new product, xhr.dev (https://xhr.dev/) The initial product is a 1 line code integration that does bot detection avoidance via a forward proxy. Ideal customer is someone who gets blocked by anti-bot defences like cloudflare or other captcha challenges. Usually these customers have web scraping use cases. You can view our historical performance on our status page (https://status.xhr.dev). ty v much, john

    When automating business processes at work, I found it difficult and time-consuming to reverse engineer business systems' APIs. I often had to manually reverse engineer APIs using developer tools or settle for less optimal technologies such as Robotic Process Automation (RPA). Often, the issue is that it can be hard to resolve all the cookies, access tokens, and other elements required to successfully execute the requests. Manually trying to resolve these dependencies using developer tools is especially challenging with multiple requests where data is stored in JavaScript objects or HTML…

    Hey HN! We’re Alan and Richard from Integuru (YC W24). We generate fast, reliable integrations for platforms lacking official APIs. About 2 years ago, we released the first agent that reverse-engineers network traffic to build integrations (https://github.com/Integuru-AI/Integuru). Since then, we’ve developed a new approach to reverse-engineer platforms’ source code directly. This solution also includes authentication support. Here’s a demo: https://youtu.be/4l2L8fILC2g?si=nbWbDiFrWZIWRPM7. Many AI products need to integrate with web apps, but platforms…

    Shmauthor here. Built this for myself, putting it out in case it's useful. Needed any URL as clean Markdown for LLM context — including Cloudflare/anti-bot sites. curl gets HTTP 403 on those, raw HTML is 80%+ nav noise eating context, paid SaaS (Firecrawl, Jina) wasn't an option for me. It's a Docker wrapper around two existing OSS tools — CloakBrowser (stealth Chromium that passes Cloudflare) and rs-trafilatura (HTML → Markdown). No new scraper, just glue. Runs locally, my URLs stay on my box Token reduction (raw curl HTML vs snitchmd, tiktoken cl100k_base): -…
