Making A Request
The Web Unblocker functions as an HTTP proxy and performs a Man-in-the-Middle (MITM) operation on traffic. This allows it to intercept and modify requests in order to bypass anti-scraping protections.
Due to the MITM mechanism and the required SSL handling, it is not recommended to use the unblocker in browsers or with tools like Playwright.
By the nature of the tool, we currently support only GET requests.
cURL code example:
To use the Web Unblocker, you must disable HTTPS certificate verification in cURL by using the -k flag.
Response Codes
Error codes, often HTTP status codes, indicate problems encountered while accessing a website.
Common errors include 404 (Not Found), 403 (Forbidden), 502 (Bad Gateway), and 503 (Service Unavailable). These codes help identify whether the issue is with the client (4xx), the server (5xx), or a redirection (3xx).
