[BUG] Cannot get the price or other data from the bot. #81

Closed iagopm closed 2 years ago

iagopm commented 2 years ago

Since one week or so Amazon now detects this bot, the behaviour is not the typical "You must not scrape from Amazon please" but instead Amazon just deletes all the info in the html code.

Paste the contents of your config.json, excluding the token, here:

{
  "prefix":"!",
  "token":"",
  "minutes_per_check":4.5,
  "search_response_ms": 60000,
  "url_params":{},
  "guild_item_limit":30,
  "cache_limit": 30,
  "required_perms":["permission_1", "permission_2"],
  "tld":"es",
  "auto_cart_link":true,
  "debug_enabled":true
}

Thanks in advance.

You noted that HTML would be output without the information, can you dump for me the entire HTML?

After a few days without running the bot it now returns the price in the html code 2022-01-06 13_07_39-Window

Link : https://www.amazon.es/dp/B08GDDZML8/? Here's the html bot retrieved. https www.amazon.es dp B08GDDZML8.txt and this is the data it parsed:

Maybe amazon has changed the classes of the html elements so now it has to be scraped using a diferent classes or element id?

Happy new year !

Yeah! I've seen that happen a couple times, I'll add those in sometime super soon, thanks for letting me know!

SpikeHD commented 2 years ago

Pushed an update, see if that works

iagopm commented 2 years ago

The first product the bot checked the price successfully, but the second product just produced the "To discuss automated access to Amazon data please contact api-services-support" message.

Yeah that would be the bot detection page. Try decreasing your minutes_per_check, or the amount of items in your watchlist, or also try using a proxylist
