Streetmerchant: Amazon Captcha Fix suggestion

Created on 24 Dec 2020  路  1Comment  路  Source: jef/streetmerchant

Expected Behavior

Amazon stock check works consistently without anti bot page.

Current Behavior

Without large delay in checking, amazon continuously returns anti bot captcha page.

Steps to Reproduce

  1. Use latest version, amazon will eventually start throwing the bot page.

Suggestion

Implement randomized requests in between page requests. Every other stock check simply do a random search query or other page action and amazon will not throw captcha page.

Great suggestion!
@jef This should be pretty trivial, and we could even add it to the Store definition ("catpchaDeterrentLinks") so it can be reused elsewhere as needed. Assign to me if you want? Dunno when I'll get to it but should be simple enough once I have time :D
