Bot detection with Ticketmaster watch

[danwelcome]

Hi all, I just started using changedetection.io (pulled down the docker image and am using playwright) but I am struggling to set up a watch for a ticketmaster page. Here is the page:

https://www.ticketmaster.com/portugal-the-man-washington-district-of-columbia-07-28-2023/event/15005E84D3152737

If I go to browser steps, I see the following, which is what I see if I go to the site on my own browser:

I am then able to click the element in the visual filter:

I then save the watch, but when it actually executes the I get the following page:

For some reason ticketmaster thinks it's a bot only when it is trying to execute the watch, but doesn't think its a bot when I use it to execute browser steps. I'm unsure what the difference is here... they should both be executing JS on the page, right??

Well actually it is a bot :-)

I think all the reasons they give in that list are pretty accurate, the 1st one you can work around by adding some delays i guess

The reasons in that list actually don't make sense to me... I'm using Playwrite, so javascript should be running right? I'm not actually doing anything other than just loading the website, so I shouldn't be "moving at super human speed".

My question is just what is the difference between Playwrite loading the site for browser steps (where it doesn't trigger bot detection) vs loading it for change detection on the cron? Shouldn't both be doing the same thing?
