Replacing a fragile in-house StubHub scraper with a real pipeline.
Ficstar runs ticketing intelligence for resellers. Their old scraper broke every other week — Cloudflare changes, IP bans, parser drift. We replaced it with a daily pipeline that hasn't missed a delivery in fifteen months.
"Our internal scraper for StubHub and SeatGeek breaks every two weeks. We need someone who actually owns the bypass problem so we can stop firefighting and ship product."
Instead of patching the old scraper, we rebuilt the pipeline around stealth headless browsers with real TLS fingerprints and rotating residential identities. We added auto-adaptation for selector drift and 50+ QA gates per dataset.
Daily delivery for 15+ months without a single missed run. 72% cheaper than running it in-house once you add up engineering time, proxies, infrastructure, and on-call. Ficstar's team got their roadmap back.
"You're doing a great job with the Indeed US numbers over the last couple months. Thank you for your efforts — much appreciated!
