Under the hood

How our Cointelegraph pipeline handles the hard parts

Crypto news sites deploy aggressive anti-scraping to protect their content. Here is how we maintain reliable pipelines.

WAF bypass
Navigating Cloudflare challenges

Cointelegraph relies heavily on Cloudflare. We use residential proxies and TLS fingerprint spoofing to bypass WAF challenges without triggering reCAPTCHA walls or IP blocks.

Dynamic DOM
Full JavaScript rendering

React-based rendering requires full browser execution. We use Playwright to trigger infinite scroll pagination and hydrate lazy-loaded article content.

Layout variations
Resilient multi-format parsing

Standard news, Magazine features, and Cryptopedia guides all use different DOM structures. Our selectors use fallback chains to extract core fields regardless of layout.

Data cleaning
Stripping ads and trackers

We remove inline native ads, sponsored widgets, and tracking pixels from the article body, delivering only the editorial content your NLP models need.

Time normalisation
Standardised UTC timestamps

Relative times and varied timezone formats are converted into standard UTC ISO-8601 strings, ensuring chronological accuracy for event-driven trading models.

Common questions.

About cointelegraph.com scraping, legality, and pipeline operations.

Ask us directly →
Is scraping Cointelegraph legal?

Scraping publicly available information is generally permissible under applicable law, reinforced by the hiQ v. LinkedIn ruling. DataFlirt targets only public, non-authenticated news and market data. We do not extract personal data or circumvent authentication walls.

How do you handle Cloudflare?

We use residential ISP proxies, full Playwright browser sessions with realistic fingerprints, and request timing modelled on human behaviour to bypass WAF challenges.

Can I get historical articles?

Yes. We can paginate through the archive to provide a complete historical snapshot of all published articles and Cryptopedia entries.

Do you extract images and charts?

Yes. Image URLs for hero graphics and embedded technical analysis charts are captured and included in the payload.

How fast is the real-time delivery?

Real-time streaming pipelines achieve sub-60-second latency via webhook delivery from the moment an article is published on the site.

Can you filter by specific cryptocurrency tags?

Yes. Pipelines can be scoped to specific categories, authors, or tags like Bitcoin, Ethereum, or DeFi.

Do you provide the raw HTML or cleaned text?

Both. We deliver stripped text suitable for NLP models, as well as the raw HTML block if your team requires custom parsing.
