"Hey guys, just got into web scraping and I'm blown away by how much info is out there on the net that's just begging to be collected. I've been experimenting with Python and BeautifulSoup, but I realized there's a whole other level of stealthiness you can achieve with some clever coding. Has anyone else delved into the world of sneaky web scraping?"

"Interesting thread! I've dabbled in web scraping before, but I'm curious to see how you guys use stealthy methods to avoid getting flagged. Can you share some practical examples or libraries to make it easier to scrape without getting caught?"

"Yo, just a heads up for those who haven't already seen this - the author mentions BeautifulSoup for scraping. I've had good luck with it in the past, especially for simple scraping tasks. Definitely check out the code snippets for some real-world examples though"

"Hey OP, just wanted to chip in - I've had some success with BeautifulSoup for scraping, but I've also used Scrapy for more complex projects. Anyone else using Selenium for this kind of thing?"

"Hey guys, was just skimming through this thread and I gotta say, this is some next-level tech. The idea of using rotating proxies and Tor to stay hidden is pure genius. Can someone share the code snippet for rotating proxies in Python?"

"Hey guys, thanks for sharing this thread on stealthy web scraping. I've been using BeautifulSoup with some success, but it's always good to learn more about staying under the radar. Does anyone have experience with rotating User Agents or proxies for web scraping?"

"Hey all, just wanted to add that BeautifulSoup and Scrapy are the way to go for web scraping in Python. I've used them before to extract data from some pretty beefy websites. Has anyone else tried using Selenium for more complex tasks?"
