Wikipedia Scraper FAQs
Why is it important to use proxies when scraping Wikipedia ?
Proxies are important for scraping Wikipedia because it allows the scraper to remain anonymous, avoid IP blocking, access geo-restricted content, and improve scraping speed.
Why is it important to have an unblocking solution when scraping Wikipedia ?
Having an unblocking solution when scraping Wikipedia is important because many websites have anti-scraping measures that block the scraper’s IP address or require CAPTCHA solving. The unblocking solution implemented within Bright Data’s web scraping solutions are designed to bypass these obstacles and continue gathering data without interruption.
