Stop Web Scraping with Prosopo

What is Web Scraping?

Web scraping is the process of automatically extracting data from websites. This is often attempted by bots that navigate pages and collect information at scale. While some scraping is harmless and even helpful (like for search engine indexing), many bots scrape data without permission, infringing on privacy and server resources.

Why is Scraping a Problem?

Unsanctioned scraping can lead to:

• Intellectual property theft
  • The current rush to AI is making this a hot topic, as many companies are scraping data to train their models.
• Server overload
• Competitive data mining
• User experience degradation

In particular, privacy-oriented platforms need protection from bots that bypass consent and harvest personal information.

Trends in 2025

Year on year, searches for scraping have exploded, driven by interest in AI and data mining. Many website owners and content producers are concerned about the implications of unsanctioned scraping on their business models and user privacy. People want to protect their data to ensure it is not used without consent.

How Prosopo Protects Against Scraping

Procaptcha uses advanced behavioral analysis and GDPR-compliant techniques to block scraping bots without harming the user experience. For example, if you use Puppeteer or Selenium to automate browsing, Prosopo can detect the non-human patterns and prevent access.
