SSL Reverse Proxy

In the main window of the program, select "Advanced", then "Options". In the "Basic" section, there is the "Proxy settings" item. Click on "Configuration" and enter the server address, port number, protocol type used and so on.

Go to the settings (the icon in the form of three dots) and open the section "Settings". In the tab at the very bottom, click on "Advanced settings". Click on "Open proxy settings for computer" and in the window that appears, click on "Network settings". Find the line "Automatic detection of parameters", uncheck it, and then, in the section "Proxy", activate the option "Use a proxy server". Enter the proxy host and port in the appropriate fields, and then click "Apply".

To implement a constant scraping process, you can use a combination of a loop and a delay to periodically scrape data from a website. This process is often referred to as "web scraping with intervals" or "periodic scraping." Here's an example using Node.js and the axios library for making HTTP requests

Install Dependencies

Install the required npm packages:

npm install axios

Write the Scraping Script

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

const axios = require('axios');

async function scrapeData() {
    try {
        // Replace with your scraping logic
        const response = await axios.get('https://example.com'); // Replace with the URL you want to scrape
        console.log('Scraped data:', response.data);

        // Add additional scraping logic as needed
        // ...

    } catch (error) {
        console.error('Error during scraping:', error.message);
    }
}

// Function to perform constant scraping with a specified interval
async function constantScraping(interval) {
    while (true) {
        await scrapeData();
        await sleep(interval); // Sleep for the specified interval before the next scrape
    }
}

// Function to introduce a delay using setTimeout
function sleep(ms) {
    return new Promise(resolve => setTimeout(resolve, ms));
}

// Set the interval (in milliseconds) for constant scraping
const scrapingInterval = 60000; // 60 seconds

// Start the constant scraping process
constantScraping(scrapingInterval);

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

Adjust the scraping logic within the scrapeData function to meet your specific requirements.

Run the Script:

Run the script using Node.js:

node constant_scraping.js

This script defines a constantScraping function that continuously calls the scrapeData function at a specified interval using a loop and the sleep function. Adjust the interval (scrapingInterval) based on your scraping needs.

If your Selenium ChromeDriver with Python has stopped working, there could be various reasons behind it. Here are some common troubleshooting steps to identify and resolve the issue:

1. Check ChromeDriver Version:

   • Ensure that the version of ChromeDriver you are using is compatible with the version of Google Chrome installed on your machine. Download the latest ChromeDriver version from the official website if needed.

2. Update Chrome Browser:

   • Make sure your Google Chrome browser is up to date. An incompatible ChromeDriver version may not work correctly with an outdated browser.

3. Update Selenium WebDriver:

   • Ensure that you have the latest version of the Selenium WebDriver library installed. You can update it using:

pip install --upgrade selenium

• Check Chrome Browser Version:

  • Verify the version of your Google Chrome browser. You can find this information in the Chrome browser by going to "Settings -> About Chrome." Ensure that the ChromeDriver version matches this version.

• Provide ChromeDriver Path Explicitly:

  • Specify the path to ChromeDriver explicitly when creating a WebDriver instance. For example:

from selenium import webdriver

driver = webdriver.Chrome(executable_path='/path/to/chromedriver')

• • Replace '/path/to/chromedriver' with the actual path to your ChromeDriver executable.

• Check for Errors and Logs:

  • Examine any error messages or logs generated during the execution of your Selenium script. These messages can provide clues about what might be going wrong.

• Firewall/Antivirus:

  • Check if your firewall or antivirus software is blocking ChromeDriver. Temporarily disable these to test if they are causing the issue.

• Headless Mode:

  • If you are running ChromeDriver in headless mode, try running it without headless mode to see if the issue persists.

• Temporary Directory Access:

  • Ensure that the process running your Selenium script has the necessary permissions to write to the temporary directory. ChromeDriver may need to write to the system's temporary directory during execution.

• Try a Different Browser:

  • If the issue persists with Chrome, try using a different browser (e.g., Firefox) to see if the problem is specific to Chrome or if it's a more general WebDriver issue.

• Reinstall ChromeDriver:

  • Consider reinstalling ChromeDriver by downloading the latest version and replacing the existing executable.

• Check for System Updates:

  • Ensure that your operating system is up to date. Some issues may be resolved by updating the underlying system libraries.

• Check Browser Extensions:

  • Disable any browser extensions or plugins that might interfere with the WebDriver.

• • Replace '/path/to/chromedriver' with the actual path to your ChromeDriver executable.

• Check for Errors and Logs:

  • Examine any error messages or logs generated during the execution of your Selenium script. These messages can provide clues about what might be going wrong.

• Firewall/Antivirus:

Go through the "Control Panel" to the "Browser Properties" section. Open the "Connections" tab, and then by clicking on the "Network settings" button at the bottom, uncheck the "Proxy server" box. Also uncheck the "Auto-detection" checkbox under "Auto-configuration".
