Hey everyone,
So, I’ve been diving into web scraping amazon lately, and honestly, it’s a bit of a minefield. Like, how do you even do it effectively without getting blocked or crossing ethical lines?
I’ve read that respecting robots.txt is a must, but also, using proper headers and rotating IPs can help avoid detection. Anyone got tips on how to scrape without being a jerk about it?
Also, what tools are y’all using? I’ve tried a few, but some are hit or miss. And yeah, I know Amazon’s TOS is pretty strict, so I’m trying to stay on the right side of things.
Would love to hear your thoughts or any best practices you’ve picked up. Cheers!
P.S. If this has been discussed before, my bad—feel free to point me to the thread!
