Phantomjs Automation of a website leads me to getting IP blocked - phantomjs

Question

I'm using PhantomJS to automate a page. What I do is:
do{
console.log(i);
i++;
page.open(url);
do { phantom.page.sendEvent('mousemove'); } while (page.loading);
if(page.injectJs('./Search.js') == false){
console.log("Search.js Failed")
}
var links = page.evaluate(function(json){
return search(json)
},json)
console.log(links);
} while(links == "")
So this leads me to opening the website repeated until what I'm looking for appears. But this also leads me to getting IP banned. What can I do to get around this?

Answer 1

Your IP is probably getting banned because the script generates too many requests to the website in very little time. So, you need to throttle requests, to apply a pause between them.
I would rewrite your script like this:
var page = require('webpage').create();
var url = "http://www.website.tld/";
var json = {"some" : "json"};
var i = 0;
var links;
// We abstract main code to a function so that we can call it
// again and again from itself
function getlinks (url, json) {
i++;
console.log(i);
page.open(url);
do { phantom.page.sendEvent('mousemove'); } while (page.loading);
if(page.injectJs('./Search.js') == false){
console.log("Search.js Failed")
}
var links = page.evaluate(function(json){
return search(json);
}, json);
if(links == "")
{
// No links scraped yet, so we wait for 3 seconds and try again
setTimeout(function(){
getlinks(url, json);
}, 3000)
}
else
{
console.log(links);
phantom.exit();
}
}
getlinks(url, json);
