Show HN: caniscrape – Analyze anti-bot protections before scraping (CLI and Web)

I built this after hitting an infinite loop pagination trap on Newegg and wasting hours building a scraper that never had a chance. caniscrape analyzes a URL and tells you: - What protections are active (WAF, CAPTCHA, rate limits, TLS fingerprinting, honeypots) - Difficulty score (0-10) - What tools/approach you'll need Install: pip install caniscrape Usage: caniscrape https://example.com Web version: https://caniscrape.org NOTE: Very hard sites like Amazon or YouTube will show as 0 because their bot protections are essentially invisible, I will fix this in a future update. NOTE FOR WEB VERSION: The web version uses a cloud IP which is blacklisted by major sites. I will add proxy rotations to defeat this but for now, the website is only good for easy/medium sites.
