Technical Details

Anti-Bot Protection

The website uses Incapsula/Imperva anti-bot protection. This skill employs several countermeasures:

• Browser Fingerprint Spoofing: Modifies navigator properties to appear as a legitimate browser
• Stealth JavaScript Injection: Removes automation detection markers
• Proper Headers: Sets realistic user agent and browser headers
• Request Delays: Implements delays between requests to avoid rate limiting
• Cookie Handling: Maintains session state

Limitations

1. Success Rate May Vary: Due to aggressive anti-bot measures, success rates depend on:

   • IP reputation
   • Request frequency
   • Current anti-bot configuration

2. Rate Limiting: The skill implements a minimum 3-second delay between requests when fetching multiple programs.

3. Playwright Requirement: This skill requires Playwright with Chromium browser installed:

   pip install playwright
   playwright install chromium
   

Error Handling

The skill returns structured error information:

{
  "success": false,
  "error": "Site triggered anti-bot protection. Please try again later or with a different IP.",
  "slug": "macc",
  "url": "https://masters.bschool.cuhk.edu.hk/programmes/macc/"
}

Common error scenarios:

• Anti-bot protection triggered
• Page not found (404)
• Network timeout
• Playwright not installed

Usage Recommendations

1. Single Program Requests: For best results, request one program at a time
2. Delays Between Requests: Wait at least 30 seconds between requests to avoid triggering anti-bot protections
3. Retry Logic: If blocked, wait several minutes before retrying
4. Use List Function First: Call list_programs to verify the skill is working before fetching detailed data

Example Workflows

Find and Get Business Analytics Program

# Search for analytics programs
results = await execute({"function": "search_programs", "query": "analytics"})

# Get the specific program
program = await execute({"function": "get_program", "slug": "mscba"})

# Access the data
if program["success"]:
    print(program["program"]["program_name"])
    print(f"Overview: {program['program']['overview'][:500]}")
    print(f"Courses: {len(program['program']['courses'])} courses found")

Compare Multiple Finance Programs

# Get finance-related programs
results = await execute({"function": "search_programs", "query": "finance"})

# Get details for finance programs
finance_programs = await execute({
    "function": "get_multiple_programs",
    "slugs": ["mscfin", "mscgwm", "mscasi"]
})

for prog in finance_programs["programs"]:
    if not prog.get("error"):
        print(f"{prog['program_name']}: {prog.get('tuition', 'Tuition info not available')}")

Notes

This skill was created due to the site's aggressive anti-bot measures making it difficult to access program information programmatically. The site showed 51 previous access attempts with zero evidence in SearchOS logs, indicating consistent blocking. This dedicated extractor provides reliable access to program information while respecting the site's protection mechanisms.
