Crawl Amazon.com
Posted: Mon May 08, 2006 10:53 am
Hey hey,
I've been approached with an interesting product and I was wondering if anyone out there has any knowledge of this.
I have a potential client that want's to grab basic book data from amazon.com (title, isbn, price) and store it on his computer to be accessed if there is no internet access. It looks like I could use one of the Amazon Web Services that you pay for, but I was curious if it is possible to actually create a program that will pull that data down without paying Amazon for it.
I've never created any kind of spyder scripts, so I might be overlooking an obvious solution...
Any data is greatly appreciated!
