Web scraping with anti-bot bypass, content extraction, undocumented APIs and poison pill detection. Use when extracting content from websites, handling paywalls, implementing scraping cascades or processing social media. Covers requests, trafilatura, Playwright with stealth mode, yt-dlp and instaloader patterns.
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# Web scraping methodology
Patterns for reliable, ethical web scraping with fallback strategies and anti-bot handling.
## Scraping cascade architecture
Implement multiple extraction strategies with automatic fallback:
```python
from abc import ABC, abstractmethod
from typing import Optional
import requests
from bs4 import BeautifulSoup
import trafilatura
#for .py files
from playwright.sync_api import sync_playwright
from playwright_stealth import stealth_sync
#for .ipynb files
import asyncio
from playwright.async_api import async_playwright
class ScrapingResult:
def __init__(self, content: str, title: str, method: str):
self.content = content
self.title = title
self.method = method # Track which method succeeded
class Scraper(ABC):
@abstractmethod
def fetch(self, url: str) -> Optional[ScrapingResult]: ...
class TrafilaturaСscraper(Scraper):
"""Fast, lightweight extraction for standard articles."""
def fetch(self, url: str) -> Optional[ScrapingResult]:
try:
downloaded = trafilatura.fetch_url(url)
if not downloaded:
return None
content = trafilatura.extract(

How to install
mdr add maxmiksa/auto-company/web-scraping@sha256:971f92ae1817af83The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260205.e30af14, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
