Anti-bot layer
Cloudflare Turnstile bypass

One Mile at a Time uses Cloudflare to block automated traffic. Our crawlers use residential ISP proxies with realistic browser fingerprints and automated Turnstile solving to maintain access without triggering blocks.

JavaScript rendering
Dynamic comment loading

Comment threads are loaded dynamically via JavaScript as users scroll. We run full Playwright browser sessions to trigger lazy-loading and capture the complete discussion hierarchy.

Data structuring
Parsing unstructured article text

Flight reviews contain structured data buried in unstructured text. We use custom regex and DOM parsing rules to extract flight numbers, aircraft types, and sub-category ratings consistently.

Link tracing
Resolving affiliate redirects

Credit card application links use complex redirect chains for affiliate tracking. Our pipeline follows these chains to the final issuer URL, capturing the exact offer code and landing page.

Change detection
Only re-scrape what changes

We maintain a hash index of last-seen values for credit card tables and point valuations. Subsequent runs only push diffs, reducing compute cost and downstream processing load.
