"Error 1010: The owner of this website has banned your access based on your browser's signature" is often encountered when web scraping using browser automation tools like Puppetter, Playwright or Selenium.
This is caused by javascript fingerprinting as these automated browsers are easy to fingerprint and identify.
To avoid this error, browser automation tools should be fortified against javascript fingerprinting:
- How to Web Scrape with Puppeteer and NodeJS in 2026
- Web Scraping with Selenium and Python
- Web Scraping with Playwright and Python
- General introduction to javascript fingerprinting
Alternatively, web scraping APIs such as ScrapFly can be used that use fortified cloud browsers to execute scraping commands.
