Subject: How risky is web scraping Amazon these days? Any success stories?
Hey folks,
Been trying my hand at web scraping Amazon lately, and man, it’s gotten *tough*. Their anti-bot game is strong—CAPTCHAs, IP bans, the works.
Anyone still pulling it off in 2024? What’s your setup? Proxies? Rotating headers? Or just praying to the tech gods?
I’ve heard mixed things—some say it’s doable with the right tools (like Scrapy + smart proxies), others say Amazon’s lawyers will hunt you down lol.
Any success stories or horror tales? Also, what’s the safest way to scrape without getting nuked?
Thanks in advance!
(PS: If this is against rules, mods pls delete—no hard feelings!)
