What is Web Scraping?
Web scraping is automated collection of data from your pages: prices, listings, inventory, content, anything rendered in the browser.
How it works
Scrapers fetch pages at machine speed, parse the HTML, and store what they find. Industrial operations rotate proxies and mimic browsers to look human.
Why it matters for sportsbooks
Your data feeds competitors and brokers, your infrastructure pays for the traffic, and your content gets republished elsewhere. For your book, that means margin on every market stay protected and bettors get a fair experience.
How OddsArmor detects it
OddsArmor scores every request against behavioral, network, and device signals, so automated patterns surface even when they imitate real bettors. Suspicious sessions get challenged or blocked before they reach your book.
