What Should You Do If You are Blocked When Scraping Amazon?

Amazon may consider you as the “BOT” in case, you start extracting hundreds of pages by the code given here. The thing is to avoid having flagged as a BOT while extracting as well as running the problems. How to cope with such challenges?

Imitate the human behaviour to the maximum

Use Proxies as well as Switch Them

Let us assume that we are extracting thousands of products on Amazon.com using a laptop that normally has only single IP address. Amazon would assume us as a bot because NO HUMAN visits thousands of product pages within minutes. To look like the human — make some requests to Amazon using the pool of proxies or IP Addresses.

Specify User Agents of the Newest Browsers as well as Switch Them

If you observe the code given, you would get a line in which we had set the User-Agent String for requests we are doing.

Like proxies, it’s good to get the pool of different User Agent Strings. So, ensure that you use user-agent strings for the popular and latest browsers as well as rotate these strings for every request you do to Amazon.

Decrease the Total ASINs Extracted Every Minute

You can also try to slow down the scrapping a bit for giving Amazon lesser chances of considering you as the bot. However, around 5 requests for every IP per minute isn’t throttling much. If you want to go quicker, add additional proxies.

Continue Retrying

Whenever you get blocked by the Amazon, ensure you retry the request. Our codes retry immediately after scraping fails, you can do a better job by making the retry queues using the list, as well as retry them when all the products get scraped from the Amazon.
