Taobao API Development
Budget: $250 – $750 USD
Web scraping/reverse engineering Expert Needed!
Description:
We are seeking a highly skilled and experienced developer with a strong background in working with Taobao APIs to assist in improving the functionality of our existing system. Our current API works for a while, but eventually gets blocked due to captchas and other security measures. We require a reliable solution to sign in, solve captchas, and prevent account bans or blocks (ideally, without requiring an account).
We have explored a few approaches so far:
Desktop website API: The most challenging approach, as it requires circumventing bot detection systems.
Mobile website API: Our current approach, which involves reverse engineering the request signing function (already completed), has more lenient bot detection systems.
Mobile app: This method doesn't seem to have captchas but is difficult to reverse engineer due to SSL pinning.
The selected candidate will be provided with all relevant source code and documentation to understand the methods we have employed so far, as well as our attempts at bypassing bot detection systems. This will enable you to build on our work and develop a more effective solution.
Requirements:
Extremely strong web scraping experience
Strong knowledge of reverse engineering and request signing
Familiarity with captcha solving techniques and bot detection systems
Excellent problem-solving skills
Ability to work independently and communicate effectively
To apply, please provide examples of your previous work, as well as your proposed solution for this issue. We look forward to collaborating with a talented developer to achieve a reliable and long-term solution.
