How to Scrape Amazon Prices with Python (Bypass Captcha)
Getting a 503 Service Unavailable? That's Amazon knowing you are a bot.
The Strategy
- User-Agent Rotation: Never use the default
requestsheader. - Residential Proxies: Datacenter IPs (AWS/DigitalOcean) are blacklisted instantly.
- TLS Fingerprinting: Amazon checks your SSL handshake.
The Code Snippet
import requests
from fake_useragent import UserAgent
ua = UserAgent()
headers = {
'User-Agent': ua.random,
'Accept-Language': 'en-US,en;q=0.9',
}
url = "https://amazon.ae/dp/B08N5XSG8Z"
response = requests.get(url, headers=headers)
print(response.status_code)
The Alternative
Don't want to maintain proxies? Use API Verse to find pre-built scraper APIs that handle the rotation for you.
