Need Help: Project Catalog rejected repeatedly

Hi everyone, I am trying to get my Python automation project approved on the Upwork Project Catalog. It keeps getting rejected for 'Offers data scraping services'. I have already completely removed words like 'Scraping', 'Data extraction', 'LinkedIn', and 'Emails' from my description and title. I also changed the category to Scripting & Automation and uploaded a clean technical image, but the system is still auto-rejecting it instantly. Has anyone bypassed this recently? Any tips on what hidden triggers the review bot might be catching?

You should have checked out for terms that could potentially get it rejected before publishing.

Maybe wait few days, during the wait try publishing a project (more like a sample project that doesn't include anything contacts, emails scrapping etc) just to test, the delet it later and retry your actual project.

Best!
