Case Study: Leading Car Parts Store stops price and product scraping and eliminates 3 A.M. incidents with DataDome

Online car parts store ends price & product data scraping with DataDome

Leading Car Parts Store, a major online car parts retailer with a huge product database, was repeatedly targeted by competitors scraping prices and product data, causing high CPU usage and occasional slowdowns that required 3 A.M. restarts. To protect proprietary pricing and control traffic, the company chose DataDome’s bot-protection solution.

DataDome was installed in about two hours and now detects and blocks scraper bots in real time, stopping the cyclical IP-rotation attacks seen during the trial. As a result, DataDome eliminated the overnight service restarts and on-call incidents, blocked unwanted competitive scraping, and provided detailed traffic insights and custom rules that restored predictable site performance and reduced resource load.
