Datadome is an advanced bot management system that protects websites from various automated threats such as scraping, credential stuffing, and DDoS attacks at the application layer (layer 7). It identifies and blocks bots, sometimes resulting in false positives that can ban legitimate users, often based on factors like TLS fingerprints and the order of HTTP headers.
One of the major challenges posed by Datadome is its sensitive detection methods. It checks TLS signatures, which makes emulating genuine browser behavior crucial for bypassing it. It also closely monitors the sequence of headers in requests. As such, an effective bypass solution must carefully replicate a browser’s request patterns to evade detection.
To reduce the chances of being blocked, using a rotating proxy list is recommended. IP bans are a common issue, and rotating IPs can help minimize disruption. If you're interacting with websites using Datadome, you should also monitor for a specific cookie (datadome) that indicates protection is in place. When the site detects suspicious behavior, it may challenge users with mechanisms like sliding captchas or interstitial pages.
In order to access a Datadome website under protection you may need on first join or after some requests to solve a challenge that will generate you a datadome cookie that will garant you the access to the website for a certain amount of time. So if you see that a webite has a datadome cookie, you can be sure that it's using Datadome.
Datadome-protected websites often issue challenges after a certain number of interactions. These challenges generate a datadome cookie that allows further access to the site for a set period. Here's a breakdown of the two main challenges Datadome typically presents:
When you try to access a website protected by Datadome, you may receive a response with a status code 403and a body containing a strange html, let's take a look into it*
The imporant thing here is the dd dict, that is used in order to build the challenge URL. Based on the rt value you can already know what kind of challenge you are going to face:
i - interstitial
c - captcha slide
*Keep in mind that some websites may uses custom implementation and may return a JSON or a different format of the HTML file.
Most of the tickets websites are using Incapsula to protect their website. Here are some examples of websites using Incapsula and the cookies/challenge they require:

Our API allows you to bypass the Datadome protection by solving the challenges and generating the datadomecookie. You can use our API to automate the process of solving the challenges and access the protected websites without any hassle.
