Anyone scraping Amazon here on a large scale?

I have some questions about 503 errors and JS captcha execution specific to Amazon.

Would be great to pick your brain with some tricky questions :-)
 
i coded few amazon scrapers before , that error probably due to missed http header , use fiddler to capture and simulate all headers , if failed pm me your code i will check it for you .

The issue I'm having is about 70% of my proxies are being 503 blocked very quickly. Where as the other 30% work perfectly, they'll get the captcha challenge eventually then I'll solve it (my system) and they'll carry on fine.

seems you found root of problem and already solved it !
 
It's all about the headers and it's only on certain pages. It doesn't even seem to burn my ip addresses when I forget either. I think I'm gonna check out Amazon's product API tonight. I'm feeling inspired :D
 
That was my money maker in 1999. With API's and shit you don't really need to scrape Amazon any more.
 
I use my own custom scraper I built for amazon.. I have no issues with 503 errors and JS captcha execution as of yet..
