You can always go the Tarpit route as well https://zadzmo.org/code/nepenthes/
Another one; https://iocaine.madhouse-project.org/
But yeah, OP. You can't reliably stop web scrapers from stealing your data. You can only make more difficult and costly to do so, at the expense of your own server, and in the case of anubis, at the expense of your real users.
I plan on switching to a RPI hosted website at some point, so I can add either iocaine or nepanthes to my website. Might as well make most of the data from my website poison to all the scrapers when I get the chance.
