”I have my own script but I have a lot of problems with the captcha. When you try to get a lot of information from Amazon, Amazon blocks you, sends you to the captcha page. That’s my main problem with my only script. But with Octoparse I can get information from Amazon without being blocked.“
— an eCommerce entrepreneur in Santiago, Chile
Octoparse Customer in eCommerce
The customer owns an eCommerce platform in Santiago, selling products sourced from Amazon exclusively. Needless to say, Amazon data plays a critical part in running the business. Getting a good handle of this data gives the competitive edge he needs to compete against larger eCommerce companies.
The Challenge
Keeping prices up-to-date and competitive for over 200,000 products on the shelf.
The Solution
The customer currently has twenty automatic crawlers set up in Octoparse, visiting the target product pages and fetching approx. 200,000 fresh price data from Amazon every day.
Octoparse’s Cloud service makes it possible to monitor and extract fresh and accurate product information from any eCommerce websites automatically and routinely.

Easy setup
“And this option that you have in the software when you create a task, you can do like a click in the Octoparse. Then I got a new task, a new crawler.”
“That option helped me a lot and my company. It is the main option that makes me change from the previous solution to Octoparse.
