Add proxy
Hello. Account become blocked very quickly. Do you have opportunity to add proxies as parameter?
NPM does allow proxies, although I can't recall for requests if you have to set it up through npm config or if environment variables will be enough HTTP_PROXY/HTTPS_PROXY.
. BoxRec has increased their security since this was worked on. Things to avoid are:
- Too many requests at once. Allow a few seconds between requests
- Certain pages might trigger the captcha. No workaround at this time
There might a solution around this by passing requests through serverless lambdas. I have not investigated it as yet. Another approach is simply throttling the requests. In terms of the captcha, you can parse the response and intercept the captcha nd trigger a retry if detected.
Yeah, for testing I added a throttle which seems to be fine most of the time. It still does occasionally trip the captcha. As far as the captcha, I haven't found a solution yet.
I'm open to solutions if you come up with something 👍
Happy days.
I will be working with the module on a side project, so I will see how far I can push it. Boxrec is getting difficult as we progress into a more digital landscape. It's ambitious but I am going to attempt to skin a UX and couple user interaction, twitter voices and generally just breathe some new life across the nexus.
Side note: Thanks for creating this Mike. There are very few boxing enthusiasts and/or former/active pugilists in this field. It's deeply refreshing when you find like minded folks who share a passion for the sweet science together with software engineering.
