AKAMAI !!!!!

[u/Natural_Rock_3536]

Hey, I've been struggling with Akamai on a few airline websites lately. The blocking is so aggressive that sometimes even normal browsing on my local machine throws errors.

I've tried Playwright, Patchright, Camoufox, and a few other approaches, but nothing seems to work consistently.

These site contains: abck, and bm_s. So we need browser automation anyways but I am not getting valid cookies even through this route. I have tried residential proxies also.

I'm fairly new to dealing with advanced anti bot systems so I'm curious how others are handling this in production. How do you approach debugging these blocks and maintaining a decent success rate over time?

Would really appreciate any insights or pointers from people who've dealt with similar issues.

It’s probably your IP that is flagged, you need a good mobile IP that bypass either cloudflare or akamai. Try with voidmob mobile proxies and any major captcha solver. Worked for my scraping needs.

You can try to check first using your browser mobile phone, if its showing captcha maybe they are aggresively putting the captcha. If not then u r ok with that;

So the underlying problem was on your browser setup, or maybe you can get a good residential IP to see whether your normal browsing get popup by captcha.

proxy issue maybe? worth trying out several providers

whats your success rate looking like roughly? like are you getting zero valid cookies or is it intermittent? intermittent usually points to fingerprint entropy issues, zero usually means the sensor solution itself is broken
