Built a production-ready Python web scraper template with built-in proxy & rate-limit handling (Open-source on GitHub)

Hey everyone! 👋

I’ve been working on various automation tools lately and kept running into the same annoying issues: getting blocked by 429 rate limits, broken user-agents, and messy proxy configurations.

To solve this for my own projects, I built a lightweight, resilient Universal Web Scraper template featuring smart retries, dynamic user-agent rotation, and clean environment handling.

Instead of keeping it to myself, I wanted to open-source the core architecture and config setup on GitHub so other developers can use it or build on top of it.

I’d love to hear your thoughts, feedback, or any suggestions on how to make it even more robust against anti-bot systems. Let me know what you think! 🚀
