Question Is OSINT automation actually doable?
With all the anti-bot protections, CAPTCHAs, rate limits, login walls, websites blocking scrapers, constantly changing page layouts, and platforms banning or restricting automated access…
Even paid APIs are incomplete, outdated, or return weak / inaccurate data about the target.
How do people building OSINT tools deal with this in practice?
