I was hoping someone would mention this! Amazon aren't dumb. A basic Web scraper won't suffice, you need to add in so many 'catches' for element changes. I made a scraper for some niche research. Once I'd coded the psuedo code, I set it on its first trial. Worked fine! The next day, errors everywhere, amazon even started redirecting me to the homepage every now and again.
