I actually don't think I would need to make a ridiculous amount of requests. The project is a pinning service where people submit a video URL so they can do things like manage lists of the videos they watch (think goodreads for web videos). I need to scrape the video description and tags for each submitted URL. It would be nice to just do it from the user's browser, but the same origin policy won't allow that. A browser extension is the next obvious route, but that has its own issues. I was thinking to first attempt the request via CloudFlare workers, then fall back to a residential proxy service. No idea how usable workers would end up being for this sort of scraping.
