Built-in protection and management

Browse AI handles the complex technical challenges of scraping, extracting, and monitoring web data. Every robot your build in Browse AI will automatically include:

  • Rate limiting - spaces out requests automatically.

  • IP rotation - manages and rotates IP addresses.

  • Retry logic - tries again when requests fail.

  • Human behavior - acts like a real person browsing.

  • IP protection - uses Browse AI's IPs, not yours.

  • Bot evasion and bypass detection.

  • Proxy configuration and management.

πŸ’‘ Browse AI does all of this automatically so you can extract data from thousands of web pages seamlessly.

How Browse AI avoids detection

Real browser behavior vs. traditional scrapers

Unlike basic scraping tools that just pull HTML, Browse AI robots actually navigate websites like humans:

  • Click buttons and links naturally

  • Scroll through pages at human speed

  • Fill out forms with realistic timing

  • Wait for content to load

  • Navigate between pages like a real user

This approach bypasses common detection systems like Cloudflare that look for human behavior patterns.

Automatic adaptation

When a site challenges your robot:

  1. Browse AI detects the challenge.

  2. Automatically tries alternative methods.

  3. Retries with different approach if needed.

  4. Continues extraction once successful.

You don't need to configure anything - this happens automatically.

Monitoring and bulk runs

Browse AI automatically manages rate limiting whether you're:

  • Running a single task

  • Monitoring hourly

  • Bulk extracting from 50,000 URLs

  • Running multiple workflows

The system adapts to the scale and frequency of your extraction needs.
