Ibrahim B.
Web Scraping Expert | Cloudflare & Akamai Bypass, Python, APIs
I build web scrapers for sites that actively block scrapers. Cloudflare, Akamai, DataDome, login walls, JavaScript rendering, rotating tokens, signed requests — if a generic scraper gets 403'd, that's the work I do. 98 projects, 1,300+ hours, 4.98 average rating. WHAT I DO DIFFERENTLY Most people drive a headless browser and hope. I find the private API the site's own app uses and call it directly. - 10-50x faster than Selenium, and far cheaper to run - Clean structured JSON instead of HTML that breaks on redesign - Survives front-end changes, because the API changes far less often To get there I reverse engineer request signing (HMAC and custom token schemes), intercept mobile apps with Frida to pull endpoints and auth flows, and rebuild the traffic in Python or Go. TYPICAL PROJECTS - Protected e-commerce and marketplace catalogs (price, stock, variants) - Property and listing portals in AU, CA and EU — 5M+ listings delivered - Lead and business directory data at scale - Mobile-app-only data with no public web equivalent - Rescuing scrapers that used to work and now return empty or 403 STACK Python (Scrapy, Playwright, requests, httpx), Go, TypeScript Frida, mitmproxy, apk-mitm for mobile app interception Proxy rotation, CAPTCHA handling, session and cookie management PostgreSQL, scheduled pipelines, Apify actors, REST API delivery Output: CSV, JSON, Excel, direct to database, or a live API endpoint HOW I WORK I inspect the target before quoting. If it can't be done reliably I say so, instead of taking the money and delivering 60% coverage. Fixed price on defined scope. I'm UTC+1 and reply same day. TO GET A QUOTE Send the target URL, the fields you need, and roughly how many records. Within 24 hours I'll tell you whether it's straightforward, hard, or not worth doing — and what it costs.
