"Sticky" refers to the ability to use the same IP address for a long period of time without being forced to switch to a new IP address. We offer sticky residential proxies, where a single node can be used for up to 30 minutes before automatically switching to a new IP address.
These track session integrity and user behavior. The _abck cookie, for instance, is a dynamic token tied to browser fingerprints and IP data.
Counter: Scrapeless generates valid cookies via its "Akamaiweb Cookie" endpoint, mimicking legitimate sessions (Scrapeless Docs).
Sensor Data
A JavaScript payload collects browser environment details (e.g., screen size, plugins, mouse events) to build a unique fingerprint.
Counter: Scrapeless’s "Akamaiweb Sensor" endpoint provides pre-validated sensor data, injectable into Playwright requests.
Behavioral Analysis
Tracks navigation patterns and interaction timing to flag non-human behavior.
Counter: Scrapeless likely uses machine learning to simulate human-like patterns, though this is proprietary.
IP Reputation
Blocks IPs associated with bots or data centers.
Counter: Scrapeless’s premium proxies rotate IPs, maintaining high anonymity.
Method 1: Use Scrapeless to Bypass Akamai(Recommended)
Scrapeless is a web scraping API tailored to defeat anti-bot systems like Akamai. It generates critical tokens (e.g., _abck and bm_sz cookies, sensor data) and manages proxies, ensuring high success rates with minimal effort. By integrating Scrapeless with Playwright, you can bypass Akamai’s checks effectively.
Why Scrapeless Excels
- Token Generation: Provides Akamai-specific cookies and sensor data to pass initial verification.
- Proxy Rotation: Uses premium proxies to mask your IP and avoid blocks.
- Ease of Use: Handles complex bypassing logic, reducing manual configuration.
