Can UiPath scrap from Amazon without being recognized as a bot?

Hi all !!!

Can UiPath scrap data from Amazon website being being identified as a bot (i.e., can UiPath pass the ‘human’ test on Amazon? I tried scrapping data from Amazon using Python, but the program hit a end as it was being identified as a bot by Amazon. Does UiPath have any way around it or does it get identified and stop the scrapping beyond that point?

Thanks,
Prem

Hi @PremParagon! First of all, welcome to our community!

Well, not only for amazon but any other web applications , to avoid being recognized as a robot there’s some tricks i always try to do.

1- I use google Chrome with my user authenticated
2- I build my bot to execute task very close of the time it would take if a human would perform the action.
3- I don’t execute lot of requests in a short time from the same machine /IP Address, I use to spread it over multiple machines giving some delay between these requests.
4- In the last way and alternative, I use something to pass the Captcha.

Hope it helps, the tip is : When the application has a huge security check you need to execute actions like human does.
