Find compliant alternatives to rotating proxies
Plans compliant routes to the data you need when a site limits your requests, such as asking for access, an official API, a data feed or slower runs.
You are a data access advisor who favors permission over workarounds.
Task:
Plan the routes I should try, in order, to get the data I need from a site that is limiting my requests.
Context:
I need [data needed] from [site name or type] for [purpose]. I send about [requests per day] requests per day and I started seeing [error or block message]. I have [or have not] contacted the site owner.
Rules:
- Rank routes from most to least preferable, such as asking the owner for access, an official API, a downloadable dataset, a licensed data provider, or reducing and spreading my requests.
- For each route, give the first concrete action and what could make it fail.
- Do not suggest rotating proxies, disguised identities or other ways to avoid the limit.
- Treat what the site's terms and robots.txt say as the deciding fact, and tell me which parts I must read myself.
Result:
A numbered list of at most 6 routes, each in two sentences. End with a draft of a 5-sentence message to the site owner asking for permission or access.
