Scraping Amazon - What's The Deal?


Recommended Posts

I'm not a hard core programmer when it comes to Ubot, so I could use some help on what is going on with Amazon.

 

I'm trying to scrape emails (plus social media links) from Amazon profiles. I can see them in a regular browser, they don't even show up within Ubot.

 

Example Profile: https://www.amazon.com/gp/profile/amzn1.account.AGLZ3EQ5DDQQW33D64E33RTXYMHA

This is a capture from Firefox. SEND AN EMAIL doesn't even appear within Ubot. The icons don't link either. Am I dealing with an iframe on the page? What is going on here? How does one scrape this, or did Amazon kick our butts? :-)

I'm running version 5.9.50. I had this issue years ago, then forgot about it. I couldn't grab the emails. Note: I can SEE the social icons, I just can't click on them.

If you are trying to scrape them, try this:

add list to list(%social,$scrape attribute($element parent(<class="social-link-image">),"href"),"Delete","Global")

For the "send an email" bit - I don't even see this in a browser, maybe you have to be logged in?

Ya see? That's what I'm dealing with - it doesn't exist/display within Ubot. I captured the above image not logged in with Firefox.
