The Octoparse data expert will share you with some useful information about Octoparse. Let’s start with how Octoparse solves the most common problems in web scraping.

Part 1 Most common problems in data scraping and how Octoparse helps with that

№1 What if you scrape too much data from a website and it blocks your local IP?

This can be frustrating as once you get blocked by the website, you are not only disallowed to scrape it. You can’t even just access it for normal viewing.

What will you do if this happens? In the end, you may have to pay for a proxy to try to pass that by.

How does Octoparse protect your local IP? We’ve got Cloud Extraction, which runs your tasks 24/7. Tasks will be run on our Cloud servers, using our Cloud IPs. In this way, your local IP is very safe. Our Cloud includes hundreds of different IPs to help reduce the chance of being blocked.

№2 What if you want a large amount of data but local scraping is taking forever to get the data?
