Publication number: 20230099967Abstract: Systems and methods to manage and regulate the requests of multiple proxy clients are disclosed. In one aspect, the system and methods disclosed herein aids in configuring proxy server(s) with a rate-limit functionality. Configuration of the rate-limit functionality may be realized by, but not limited to, installing configuration file(s) and/or software application(s) on the proxy server(s). The configuration provides information about the list of restricted and unrestricted domains and their respective request limit specification in a given time frame. Therefore, each time before a proxy server forwards the clients' requests to a target domain, the proxy server checks and ensures that the request count to the particular target domain is well within the limit specified in the request limit specification. Thus, the embodiments described herein aid in preventing the IP addresses of proxy service providers from being blocked or denied from the target websites.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 29, 2022Publication date: March 30, 2023Applicant: METACLUSTER LT, UABInventors: Giedrius STALIORAITIS, Ovidijus BALKAUSKAS

Publication number: 20230033150Abstract: Embodiments disclose a system that allows for improved generation of web requests for scraping that, because of the nature of the requests and time and manner they are sent out, appear more organic, as in human generated, than conventional automated scraping systems. The system then manages how a client request to scrape a target website is made to the site, masking the request in a manner that makes it appear to the Web server as if the request is not generated by an automated system. In this way, by appearing more organic, Web servers may be less likely to block requests from the disclosed system or may take longer to block requests from the disclosed system. By avoiding Web servers blocking requests and extending the lifetime of IP proxies before they are blocked, embodiments can use a limited IP proxy address space more efficiently.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 30, 2022Publication date: February 2, 2023Applicant: Metacluster LT, UABInventors: Eivydas VILCINSKAS, Arnas PETRUSKEVICIUS, Giedrius STALIORAITIS, Martynas JURAVICIUS, Rimantas STANKEVICIUS
