    Hi guys,

    Our Search field looks as follows:
    First field: Place or Event
    Second Field: Choose Category
    Third Field: Suburb/ Postcode/ City

    I would like to make scraping data from our website as difficult as possible. Probably can’t prevent it entirely?
    At the moment anyone can just search by any of the categories and get all the data presented in a nice list perfect for scraping.

    My plan was to make the Suburb/ City field a mandatory field and set the Limit squared distance area to 10 miles so the user will only ever get a limited set of data presented and never the whole list.

    Any other perhaps better ideas or will this work?

    Thanks!!
