🛡️ Anti-Bot Protection & Best Practices

• Both Naukri and NaukriGulf deploy Akamai and custom anti-bot protections.
• This scraper automatically crafts cryptographically valid request signatures and mimics Chrome TLS fingerprints.
• For high-volume scraping (>500 items per run), always use Residential Proxies via Apify Proxy to prevent IP rate-limiting.
