Scraping Amazon is a complex task when you're doing it 24/7, as opposed to just making a few requests. If you need to extract information from over 45,000 products daily, you'll face a number of challenges:
Persistent blocking of proxy IP addresses
Multiple CAPTCHAs
500 errors
Rotating your proxies and finding clean residential proxies
Continually modifying the script logic to remain undetected
Browser freezes and system crashes when running on my Linux servers
Amazon constantly changes its approaches to detecting web automation and scraping. You have to add random/fake actions, retries, timeouts, and rotate proxies to counter this. This increases the complexity of the task required to achieve high-quality results.
The video discusses the complexities of scraping Amazon on a large scale, including issues like proxy blocking, CAPTCHAs, and system crashes. It introduces Surfsky, a new browser automation platform with advanced fingerprint spoofing, which helps avoid bot detection. Surfsky supports persistent profiles, proxies, and works with Puppeteer, Playwright, and Selenium. It allows users to save and resume browser states, making scraping easier. A demo is shown using Surfsky to scrape Amazon product data. Surfsky also offers a scraping API for efficient web interactions.
