Systems and methods of web crawling/scraping process implementation are extended and target the web crawling process by submitting a request by a last-mile proxy to a web target. The systems and methods allow a request for a web crawler to be directed toward the target content platform through a proxy, or a plurality of proxies, for the purpose of optimizing the processing of the request. In at least one aspect, the systems and methods disclosed mitigate the potential for a negative evaluation of the requests by the content platform targeted through introducing the transfer of the execution of the steps within a scraping flow within the last-mile proxy system, thus aligning both network and application layer responses to the tests described.
