Scraping Protection Overview

Arkose Scraping Protection stops automated content theft, price scraping, and unauthorized data harvesting, including scraping used to train large language models, without degrading the experience for legitimate visitors.

It combines edge-based detection with Arkose's bot management capabilities to secure surfaces, analyzing payload data to return risk signals and actionable intelligence, then presenting adaptive challenges based on risk level.

Deployed through a lightweight worker implementation, Scraping Protection covers an entire site within days rather than months, with continuous monitoring from Arkose's security operations center. By blocking bot traffic at the edge before it reaches origin servers, it protects premium content, pricing data, and intellectual property, reduces infrastructure costs driven by scraper traffic, and safeguards brand reputation by preventing the service disruptions that heavy-handed anti-scraping tools often cause for real users.

How it works

Arkose Scraping Protection provides proactive security by intercepting requests at the CDN layer before they reach your infrastructure. This multi-layered defense system begins with Intelligent Risk Assessment, analyzing IP addresses, TLS data, user agents and additional signals to identify malicious automation attempts.

Through Adaptive Response mechanisms, low-risk traffic proceeds without disruption while suspicious traffic receives appropriate challenges. For high-risk traffic, the system activates Arkose Bot Manager for comprehensive detection capabilities.

Our Scraping Solution includes:

• CDN Worker Deployment: Implement our worker template at your content delivery network.
• First Request Analysis: The system evaluates incoming traffic using multiple signals.
• Risk-Based Response:
  • Low-risk traffic proceeds seamlessly
  • Medium-risk traffic receives lightweight verification
  • High-risk traffic triggers comprehensive challenges
• Session Verification: Successful verification grants access via a secure cookie.
• Continuous Protection: Our SOC team monitors and tunes detection systems.
