# Akamai Bot Detection - Troubleshooting Todos
2+
3+
## Problem
4+
First HTTP request to NSE is getting blocked/delayed by Akamai bot detection. Not detection from repeated calls, but from initial request headers/TLS mismatch.
5+
6+
## Root Causes
7+
1. **Outdated User-Agent** (Chrome 80 from Feb 2020)
8+
2. **Missing modern browser headers** (Sec-CH-UA-*)
9+
3. **TLS fingerprint mismatch** (Python requests library vs claimed Chrome)
10+
4. **Dead/suspicious headers** (old sec-fetch values)
11+
12+
---
13+
14+
## Todos (Easiest to Hardest)
15+
16+
### 1. Update User-Agent to Current Chrome
17+
- [x] Update Chrome version to 2026 current (Chrome 134.0.6998.166)
18+
- [x] Standardize all User-Agent strings across history.py, archives.py, live.py, bse/live.py
19+
- [ ] Test: Run test_cookie and check if Akamai accepts it
20+
- **Why this first**: Simplest change, highest ROI. Just string replacement.
21+
- **Files updated**: All 7 locations updated to Chrome 134 from Chrome 80/84/120
22+
23+
### 2. Add Missing Sec-CH-UA Headers
24+
- [x] Add `Sec-CH-UA: "Google Chrome";v="134", "Chromium";v="134", "Not?A_Brand";v="99"` to match updated User-Agent
25+
- [x] Add `Sec-CH-UA-Mobile: ?0`
26+
- [x] Add `Sec-CH-UA-Platform: "Windows"`
27+
- [x] Add modern headers: `DNT: 1`, `Upgrade-Insecure-Requests: 1`
28+
- [ ] Test: Run test_cookie again
29+
- **Why**: Modern Akamai expects these. Real browsers always send them.
30+
- **Files updated**: All modules (history.py, live.py, archives.py, bse/live.py)
31+
32+
### 3. Clean Up Suspicious Headers
33+
- [ ] Remove or verify `pragma: no-cache` (uncommon in modern browsers)
34+
- [ ] Remove or fix `Cache-Control` (should be "no-cache" or modern values)
35+
- [ ] Verify Referer path is realistic for the request
36+
- [ ] Test: Run test_cookie
37+
- **Why**: Outdated header combinations scream "bot"
38+
39+
### 4. Add Common Modern Headers
40+
- [ ] Add `DNT: 1`
41+
- [ ] Add `Upgrade-Insecure-Requests: 1`
42+
- [ ] Adjust Accept-Language to current standards
43+
- [ ] Test: Run test_cookie
44+
45+
### 5. Use `httpx` with Custom Adapter (TLS Fingerprinting)
46+
- [ ] Install `httpx` + `httpcore`
47+
- [ ] Create custom adapter with Chrome-like TLS cipher suite
48+
- [ ] Replace requests.Session with httpx.Client
49+
- **Why**: Last resort. Fixes TLS mismatch but requires redesign.
50+
- **Effort**: High
51+
52+
---
53+
54+
## Testing Strategy
55+
After each todo, run:
56+
```bash
57+
pytest tests/test_nse.py::test_cookie -v -s
58+
```
59+
60+
Track response status codes:
61+
- 200 = Success
62+
- 403/401 = Akamai rejected us
63+
- Hanging/timeout = Still being throttled
