Parsing website with CloudFlare protection

Hello. Is it parsing websites with CloudFlare protection? Could you provide more information about this case?

Hello, and thank you for your interest in Website Content Crawler. This depends on the level of protection the website uses and on the configuration of the crawler. Using a proxy or setting the crawler type to stealthy firefox may help.

Should we use a specific proxy of our own or can we use one of the proxies from the apify list? We have problems crawling websites from the arabic ariea.

I'd advise you to experiment with the Apify residential proxy and to test out various country settings, as shown in the attached image. This can be configured in the crawler settings on the input tab.

Hi, I'm currently trying to use a proxy from scrapingbee.com, but every request is not processed because there are SSL errors connecting to the proxy (test via "curl -k" works). In the scrapingbee.com manual, in the "Apify Integration" section, they recommend enabling the "Ignore SSL errors" checkbox. But I don't see it in the actor settings.
