Tutorial: How to Scrape Amazon Using Python Scrapy

For those looking on how to scrape amazon with node, here is a good one https://blog.proxycrawl.com/how-to-scrape-amazon-reviews-nod...

Just don't be too quick! They'll rate limit you if you're not using their official API.

I had a book business with someone that I met who was looking for help making his repricer better. Amazon's API only returns the 20 lowest prices. If we sell FBA and there aren't any FBA on the lowest 20 prices then it won't reprice to match 'lowest FBA'. It was pretty simple to reprice our inventory when it was less than 1000 books. When we hit 5k+ it became a nightmare.

Ahh well it all ended in flames anyway because he hasn't remit state sales taxes for 6 months now :) Great welcome home gift.

Is there a way to get access to Amazon's API without making three affiliate sales?

An Amazon Seller Central account is all we had.
