Residential proxies are required for any web-based data extraction attempts. Use for fare comparison research, market coverage analysis, and competitive transportation pricing intelligence.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does Lyft scraping compare to Uber?

Both platforms have similar challenges: app-first design, limited web functionality, and strong anti-bot measures. Lyft's web estimator provides basic fare ranges. Detailed data requires app access for both.

What proxies work for Lyft?

Residential proxies are required. Datacenter IPs are blocked. Even residential access has limited data availability due to web functionality constraints.

What data can I get from Lyft's website?

Lyft's web estimator shows fare ranges between locations. City pages describe service availability. Real-time pricing, Prime Time multipliers, and detailed features are app-only.

Does Lyft offer an API?

Lyft has APIs for business partners and integration use cases. Review their developer program for official access options that may provide more reliable data than scraping.

How can I compare Uber and Lyft pricing?

Use both platforms' web estimators for baseline fare comparisons. For real-time pricing research, manual app usage or third-party analytics services provide more complete data.
