Detection can occur at any point during web scraping using selenium, especially if the website being scraped employs anti-scraping measures. The detection can occur during the initialization of the driver, navigating to web pages, scraping the data, or at any other point during the process. Websites can use various techniques such as Captchas, HTTP request analysis, or JavaScript evaluation to detect and block scraping activities. However, there are ways to minimize the risk of detection, such as using user agents, rotating IP addresses, and incorporating breaks into the scraping process.
