Gologin works as a scraping browser — instead of a headless browser with a generic fingerprint, your scraper runs through isolated profiles that look like real users. This dramatically reduces detection rates on sites that fingerprint browsers, not just block IPs.

​
Quick checklist

  • 1 scraping session = 1 browser profile
  • Choose proxy type based on target site protection level
  • Reuse profiles across sessions to preserve cookies and session state
  • Control request speed — scrapers get blocked by behavior, not just IP
  • For scale (50+ concurrent): use the GoLogin API, not the desktop app

​
Choosing your setup

​
Manual scraping (Gologin desktop app)

Best for: small-scale data collection, sites that require login, manual-assisted workflows. Open profiles from the Gologin app and scrape inside the browser window.

​
API-based scraping (Puppeteer / Playwright / Selenium)

Best for: automated workflows, 10+ concurrent sessions, scheduled scraping. Gologin launches the profile and returns a WebSocket endpoint that your automation script connects to. See API Quickstart for full setup.

​
Step 1. Choose proxy strategy

​
Step 2. Manage sessions and cookies

Gologin profiles persist cookies automatically between sessions — you log in once, the profile stays authenticated. Avoid clearing cookies after every run — it breaks session continuity and looks like bot behavior.

​
Step 3. Control request patterns

Detection is mostly about behavior, not just IP. Practical timing guidelines: Always randomize delays — a fixed interval is a detection signal.

​
Step 4. Scale with multiple profiles

For parallel scraping, launch multiple profiles via the API simultaneously. Check Rate Limits before launching many profiles — API limits apply.

​
Practical limits by plan

  • Professional: up to ~10 concurrent profiles comfortably
  • Business: up to ~30 concurrent profiles
  • Enterprise: 100+ concurrent profiles
Hardware is also a constraint — each profile is a browser instance. 10 concurrent profiles requires ~8–16 GB RAM.

​
Cloudflare and anti-bot systems

Gologin handles browser fingerprint challenges (Canvas, WebGL, TLS fingerprint). It does not solve CAPTCHA automatically. If a target site uses Cloudflare with CAPTCHA, integrate a CAPTCHA solving service (2captcha, CapSolver, Anti-Captcha) into your scraping script.

​
Common detection signals

  • Identical timing between requests
  • No scroll or mouse events before clicking
  • Direct navigation to deep URLs without referrer
  • Canvas or WebGL fingerprint that doesn’t match the claimed OS/browser
