The website blocks the scraper

Common indicators

  • Repeated 403, 429 or access-denied responses.
  • CAPTCHA or browser-verification pages.
  • Consent or geographic restriction pages instead of the target content.

Diagnostic sequence

  1. Open the same URL manually.
  2. Check the Cloud failure reason, proxy location, and available screenshot.
  3. Make sure the proxy location is appropriate for the target website. If a datacenter proxy is being used, try a residential proxy instead.
  4. Contact support if the issue persists or you are unable to identify the cause.

Limits of mitigation

Proxy rotation and retries improve access but do not guarantee compatibility. Some websites require authentication, device state or challenges that cannot be completed reliably by a general scraping workflow.

If you experience access issues when scraping in Cloud, contact support for help troubleshooting the issue.
