Install

pip install scrapy-stealth

Requires Python 3.11+ and Scrapy 2.12–2.x. See the installation guide.


Quick setup

DOWNLOADER_MIDDLEWARES = {
    "scrapy_stealth.middlewares.StealthDownloaderMiddleware": 950,
}
STEALTH_ENABLED = True  # injects driver="auto" on every request
yield scrapy.Request("https://example.com")

That runs turbo first, then retries once with visible Chrome on JS challenges or session bans. See Quick start for per-request mode, proxies, and custom_settings.
