ClickHouse Proxy

To connect a proxy for Instagram, you need to use third-party services. With their help, you can assign a separate proxy for each account, through which the profile will work. An example of a service is Instaplus. You can also use built-in proxies on the site.

In the browser menu (top right corner), find "Settings", and then, under "Network settings", go to "Settings" to select "Manual network configuration". Enter, depending on your network protocol, the IP address, the port and click on "OK". Open any website and in the window that appears, enter the proxy password and login, then click "Ok" again. A successful connection to the site means that the setup is successfully completed.

To simulate a click during scraping, you can use a headless browser automation library like Puppeteer for Node.js. Puppeteer provides a high-level API to control headless browsers, allowing you to automate tasks such as clicking on elements, filling out forms, and navigating through pages.

Here's a basic example of how you can use Puppeteer to simulate a click:

1. Install Puppeteer:

   • Install Puppeteer using npm:

npm install puppeteer

Write the Scraping Script:

• Create a Node.js script (e.g., scrape_with_click.js) with the following code:

const puppeteer = require('puppeteer');

async function scrapeWithClick() {
    const browser = await puppeteer.launch();
    const page = await browser.newPage();

    try {
        // Navigate to the target URL
        await page.goto('https://example.com');

        // Wait for a specific selector to appear (replace with the selector of the element you want to click)
        const elementSelector = 'button#exampleButton';
        await page.waitForSelector(elementSelector);

        // Simulate a click on the specified element
        await page.click(elementSelector);

        // Wait for the page to settle (replace with additional logic if needed)
        await page.waitForTimeout(2000);

        // Extract and print information after the click
        const extractedInfo = await page.evaluate(() => {
            // Replace this with your logic to extract information from the clicked page
            return document.title;
        });

        console.log('Extracted information after click:', extractedInfo);
    } catch (error) {
        console.error('Error during scraping:', error);
    } finally {
        // Close the browser
        await browser.close();
    }
}

// Run the scraping script
scrapeWithClick();

• • Replace 'https://example.com' with the URL you want to scrape.

  • Replace 'button#exampleButton' with the selector of the element you want to click.

• Run the Script:

  • Run the script using Node.js:

node scrape_with_click.js

This script uses Puppeteer to launch a headless browser, navigate to a specified URL, wait for a specific element to appear, simulate a click on that element, and then perform additional actions or extractions as needed.

Make sure to handle errors and adjust the script based on the structure of the website you are scraping.

In Selenium, you can add headers to your web requests using the webdriver.ChromeOptions class. This is useful when you want to simulate certain HTTP headers in your Selenium-driven browser. Here's an example of how to add headers to Selenium using the Chrome WebDriver:

from selenium import webdriver

# Create ChromeOptions object
chrome_options = webdriver.ChromeOptions()

# Add headers to the options
chrome_options.add_argument("--disable-blink-features=AutomationControlled")  # Example header

# Instantiate the Chrome WebDriver with options
driver = webdriver.Chrome(options=chrome_options)

# Now you can use the driver for your automation tasks
driver.get("https://example.com")

# Close the browser window when done
driver.quit()

In this example, we use the add_argument method of ChromeOptions to add headers. The specific argument --disable-blink-features=AutomationControlled is an example of a header that might be used to mitigate detection mechanisms that check for automation.

You can customize the headers by adding more add_argument calls with the desired headers. Here's an example of adding custom headers:

chrome_options.add_argument("user-agent=Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/91.0.4472.124 Safari/537.36")
chrome_options.add_argument("accept-language=en-US,en;q=0.9")
# Add more headers as needed

Remember to adapt the headers based on your requirements and the website you are interacting with. The headers you add should mimic those of a regular user to reduce the chances of detection.

In Telegram on PC, proxies can be set up through the application settings. You need to open the "Advanced settings" item, then - select "Connection type". By default, the Windows system proxy is used, but you can specify it manually or disable it altogether.
