Getting Caught with reCAPTCHA
I’ve made the crawler sleep for 5-8 seconds between each request to try and avoid their reCAPTCHA, but if the crawler does get caught, you can sign into your wg-gesucht account manually through the browser and solve the reCAPTCHA, then start the crawler again.
If it continues to happen, you can also increase the sleep time in the get_page()
function in wg_gesucht.py
