# Ways to avoid website crawls being discovered or blocked
Although I can provide some technical information, please note that unauthorized crawling of website content may violate website terms of service, copyright laws or related regulations. The following are some technical considerations for website crawling：
## Legal compliance method
-**View robots. txt file**: Comply with the crawler rules of the website
-**Use the official API**: If the website provides an API, this is a legal way to obtain data
-**Contact the website owner**: Obtain express permission
## Technical considerations
-**Control the frequency of requests**: Achieve random delays to avoid too frequent requests
-**Simulate normal user behavior**: randomize access paths and time intervals
-**Reasonable setting of User-Agent**: Use common browser identifiers
-**Use proxy IP**: Decentralize the source of the request, but note that many websites will detect proxy IP
-**Avoid concurrent requests**: Reduce sending a large number of requests at the same time
-**Handling cookies and sessions**: Correctly manage login status and session information
## Precautions
Remember that technical competence should be combined with moral responsibility. Before performing any network crawling, you should：
1. Review the terms of service of the website
2. Consider the legal issues of data use
3. Evaluate the impact on the target website server load
The best practice is to seek permission from the data owner or use a data source that has been publicly available for use.
