fingerprint-suite

Hey! Crawlee uses the libraries from our fingerprint suite internally. https://github.com/apify/fingerprint-suite#performance It has an A rating in the BotD (fingerprint.js) detection. Now we're working on improving the CreepJS detection. That one is really tough though. Not even sure if anybody would use it in production environments as it must throw a lot of false positives. It will always be free and maintained, because we're using it internally in all of our projects. We thought about adding a commercial license like Docker. Open source, but paid if you have more than $10mil revenue or more than 250 employees. But in the end we decided that we won't do even that and it's just free and always be free.

Hi there! We dont have any benchmarks for Crawlee just yet, but we are working on those as we speak. We care deeply about bot detection, one of the features of Crawlee is generated fingerprints based on real browser data we gather - you can read more about it in the https://github.com/apify/fingerprint-suite repository, which is used under the hood in Crawlee. For scraping via HTTP requests (e.g. cheerio/jsdom), we develop library called got-scraping (https://github.com/apify/got-scraping), that tries to mimic real browsers while doing fast HTTP requests. Crawlee is and always will be open source. It originated from the Apify SDK (http://sdk.apify.com), which is a library to support development of so called Actors on the Apify Platform (http://apify.com) - so you can see it as a way for us to improve the experience of our customers.
