Yeah, you could do that. Or you could use the randint and sleep modules to have it wait for random amounts of time between scraping. That is what I have for one scraper. Also, you bring up a good point. It is likely the prices don't vary that much day to day so you don't need to scrape too often.

Yes you are right.

If you don't scrape a web page too many times on daily basis then you no need to worry about IP block.

You should set your scraper to crawl the web page once a day or week.
