Building a Gradcracker scraper with Crawlee: anti-bot failures and redirect bugs

A real-world case study of building a web scraper for Gradcracker, a UK graduate job board, using Crawlee while grappling with bot detection, unstable redirect chains, and production tradeoffs. The author implements Camoufox for anti-detection evasion, manages concurrency constraints, and solves a redirect problem via polling-based URL stabilization rather than conventional navigation events, concluding that most obstacles came from the target site rather than Crawlee itself.
