What is DataDome?

DataDome is a dedicated bot-management product that pairs server-side fingerprinting with a JavaScript "device check" run inside the browser. It is the protection of choice for high-value targets: sneaker drops, ticket marketplaces, classifieds, and travel aggregators.

How DataDome protects sites

  • Device-fingerprinting JavaScript injected into every page
  • `datadome` cookie binding device + IP + session
  • CAPTCHA challenge ("Please verify you are a human")
  • Server-side TLS / header / behavioural classification
  • Real-time IP reputation feed

Detection signals we look for

  • x-datadome or x-datadome-cid response headers
  • CAPTCHA page on geo.captcha-delivery.com or *.captcha-delivery.com
  • datadome cookie in Set-Cookie
  • Inline script referencing dd.js or ct.captcha-delivery.com

Recommended Scrappey client configuration

For authorised access only — your own properties, contractually permitted scraping, QA, monitoring, accessibility audits, and similar use cases. Always respect the site's terms of service and applicable law.

  • Use a full browser context — DataDome's JS device-check is non-trivial to execute headlessly.
  • For authorised access, use high-quality residential or mobile proxies; DataDome maintains an active IP reputation list.
  • Keep datadome cookies in a Scrappey session — a single clearance lasts for the cookie's TTL.
  • Pace your requests. DataDome reacts to fast bursts from one device fingerprint.
  • Request via Scrappey with antibot: "datadome" so challenge handling is delegated to the platform.

DataDome FAQ

Why is DataDome harder to work with than Cloudflare?

Cloudflare's default protection is permissive — most sites only enable bot management for hot endpoints. DataDome customers actively pay for bot management, so the rules are stricter and the device check runs on every request, not just risky ones.

Can a CAPTCHA solver alone produce a valid DataDome session?

No. DataDome also validates the device fingerprint that produced the request. A naked solver fails because the fingerprint won't match the page that issued the challenge — you need a browser-based flow.
