"No bot detection. No selector maintenance. No Cloudflare nightmares. OpenClaw tells Scrapling what to extract. Scrapling handles the stealth. This viral post demonstrates how users are promoting Scrapling as a solution for bypassing anti-scraping protections while using OpenClaw for data extraction purposes."
"We make changes, and then they make changes. We already had a signal that they're starting to get a higher ability to get around us. The team of security operations engineers had already been working on a new set of mediations. Cloudflare's CTO describes the ongoing arms race between anti-scraping defenses and tools designed to circumvent them."
OpenClaw, a viral AI tool, is being used to scrape websites and access information despite explicit anti-bot measures. Users leverage Scrapling, an open-source Python tool designed to bypass anti-bot systems like Cloudflare Turnstile, to extract data. Scrapling has been downloaded over 200,000 times since release, with viral posts promoting its use with OpenClaw spreading on social media. Cloudflare has blocked previous versions and is developing patches for the latest iteration. The company's security team is implementing new mediations to counter scraping attempts. This practice mirrors how large language models were originally trained on internet data through extensive scraping, though now occurring at individual scales.
