Stop Catalogue, Pricing, and Content Scraping
Trace extraction attempts from product, price, search, listing, and article routes, then connect scraper signals to the right edge action before the traffic drains origin capacity or copies proprietary data.
Scrapers Move Through High-Value Data Paths
Scraping does not look like one generic bot visit. It often starts with repeated catalogue, pricing, search, listing, API, or article requests, then scales through automation until competitors, aggregators, or AI pipelines have copied the data your business depends on.
Catalogue and Listing Harvesting
Bots enumerate product, inventory, directory, and search pages so they can rebuild your structured data outside your control.
Pricing and Availability Extraction
Repeated price, stock, and promotion checks expose competitive signals during sales, ad campaigns, and repricing windows.
Content and Model Training Feedstock
Article, review, media, and specification pages can be copied into unauthorised content products or AI training and retrieval workflows.
Turn Scraper Evidence Into Edge Decisions
Peakhour evaluates the request trail behind extraction: automation signatures, proxy use, device and browser signals, route mix, request cadence, and session history. The result is a policy decision that fits the risk instead of a blanket block on every visitor.
-
Scraper Signal Correlation
Connect repeated route access, bot fingerprints, headless or scripted behaviour, and suspicious user-agent patterns into one risk picture.
-
Proxy and Cadence Detection
Identify residential proxy rotation, datacentre bursts, low-human browsing cadence, and distributed request patterns that hide extraction volume.
-
Targeted Response
Allow trusted shoppers and readers, challenge uncertain sessions, rate-limit noisy collectors, or block confirmed scraper signatures before they reach origin.
Evidence Stays Attached to the Scraping Decision
The visual roadmap shows the flow; dashboard evidence supports the operational review. Teams can see which routes were targeted, which scraper signals contributed to the score, and whether Peakhour allowed, challenged, limited, or blocked the session.
Screenshots support the decision trail while the page narrative stays focused on the scraping flow and protected data path.
What Peakhour Protects in the Scraping Flow
Route-Aware Bot Management
Treat catalogue, price, API, search, listing, and content routes as distinct risk surfaces with evidence attached to each decision.
Cadence-Based Rate Limiting
Slow repeated collectors that request too quickly, enumerate too broadly, or shift identities while following the same extraction path.
Low-Friction Challenges
Challenge uncertain sessions when the evidence is suspicious but not strong enough for a hard block.
WAAP and Origin Protection
Keep abusive automation away from protected application routes, APIs, and origin infrastructure.
Residential Proxy Detection
Expose proxy-backed scraping that rotates IPs while preserving the same target routes and machine-like request timing.
