I use a keyboard-driven browser to reduce wrist strain, and I sometimes get tagged as a bot, probably for lack of mouse movement.

basically I've written bots for scraping governmental sites, and fashion sites. I've never yet had a problem (although the code on one fashion site looked like all classes were randomly generated with implied some attempt to keep scraping from working), so what I'm wondering is - what kinds of sites actually go through the trouble of tagging you as a bot, since you've got experience care to share?

Yandex Search does it to me regularly. Sometimes it takes 5 attempts to get through the captchas.

Good response, I definitely never though of that before. Serious case where you don't want Bots buying stuff up.

Ages ago I was one of those bots. Most fun I've had playing cat-and-mouse. Their team was actually quite good. And I learned that Perl can solve any problem.

Have you written about this? Sounds like an entertaining story.

I have not. But I will and will post to HN.
