This is a task to set up anti-ban bypass: proxy, headers, possible anti-bot protections. If necessary, a headless browser (for example, undetected_chromedriver) can be used, but it is not mandatory for now.

2. What will be in the solution:
– One .py file that:

loads the OLX page through the specified proxy

inserts working User-Agent, cookies (if needed)

… logs the status (for example, successful bypass or 403)

3. No server access is needed — everything will be implemented locally.

later, this bypass can be integrated into your main parser

Good afternoon! I am interested in the project with the parser for OLX. I have experience in data parsing and automation using various libraries. I can adapt your current Python script to bypass blocking, make necessary adjustments for efficient operation without using Selenium. I have ideas for optimizing requests and changing access parameters to minimize the risk of ban.

My rate is $16 per hour. I will propose a solution that can be run on your server to test the effectiveness of the new approach.

Good day

I can offer a technical solution with 2 components:
* proxy service under Linux (will explain in more detail)
* scraper setup (working logic is not needed except for a couple of points I will suggest to check)

Good day!
Your case is well understood — blocking of OLX even with proxies has significantly increased recently, especially during intensive parsing.

🔧 I can develop a .py file that:

works through aiohttp + aiohttp_socks

automatically rotates proxies from your proxie.json

… replaces User-Agent, headers, and other traces (including cookies, headers, referer)

maximally mimics requests from a regular browser (browser fingerprint equivalent)

checks access to the required link

❗ Keep in mind that Selenium is not used, and there are many requests. I will set up adaptive delay + behavioral pseudo-randomness to reduce the risk of blocks.
💬 If you have a log of an OLX response (403/429 or others), it will be helpful for more precise tuning.

Ready to provide a .py for testing — only after I ensure its functionality. If it works — we close the project.

Write in PM — we will discuss details and select the optimal solution for your parser.

So where is the technical assignment? This is a development from scratch if we consider that you said you won't provide the code.
