Aleksei Moskalenko, Olga Laponina, Vladimir Sukhomlin

Abstract


Web-scraping is a process of extracting data from web-pages on the Internet by automating web-sites requests. Importance of web-scraping is increased with developing of the Internet. This is evidenced by the appearance of vacancies in companies where it is necessary to develop protection tools against web scrapers and articles about malicious activity of web-scrapers.

The article studies the behavior of web-scrapers. The characteristic features of these programs are highlighted. A method for collecting and analyzing user behavior data to identify web-scrapers is proposed.

The Django web-framework module has been developed for defining web-scraper programs. The module is able to collect and analyze data about user behavior on a website. Web-scrapers have been created to collect data and test the module's operation.
