Our Task
Amazing Travel Options, Inc.* is a leading Web Scraping company that gathers large amounts of information from travel related sites such as airlines, hotels, and rental car agencies. Their primary source of income revolves around accurate pricing information that can be resold to companies in the travel industry. However, with the large amount of traffic generated during scraping activities, they realized, more and more, that they were being identified as a scraping company, thus giving away their intent and jeopardizing their ability to gain access to the accurate information they needed. An internal attempt to use public proxies was unsuccessful, so they turned to Anonymizer.
What We Architected
When Amazing Travel was conducting their Web scraping activities, they were also afraid they were disclosing other information that could be detrimental to their company. To help them get around the barriers and concerns that were inhibiting accurate Web scraping, they incorporated Anonymizer Streetwise into their arsenal to protect their outbound IP identity. By changing their IP address each time their Web scraping tool was making a request, they gained unfettered access to the pricing information they needed.
Success
Amazing’s volume and access to targeted pages has dramatically increased with the use of Anonymizer Streetwise. The amounts of data they can now access has helped them better position themselves with the most accurate information for resale.
* Due to the sensitivity of Anonymizer’s clientele, the name and specific industry of this organization has been changed to protect its true identity.
