Could you build this?
Partial Exposing a REST API wrapper with JSON schemas is simple, but building a production-grade scraping engine that reliably bypasses FilmAffinity's anti-bot protections at scale requires dedicated infra.
What it would actually take: The backend requires proxy rotation management (residential proxy providers), browser automation pools (Playwright/Puppeteer with stealth plugins), CAPTCHA solving integrations, and robust Redis caching to avoid frequent fetches. In addition, an HTML parsing and data extraction pipeline with schema validation is needed. Experience with anti-scraping countermeasures, browser fingerprinting evasion, and proxy orchestration is essential.
