I am making an application based on Amazon Product API (or could be MWS), I will need to fetch data huge information again and again. So, in order to avoid Throttling limits, i would like to use Proxy ips.

Is this a valid thing to do. 1. Is the throttling limit apply per MWS account or per IP address 2. There are several proxy hosts avaialble for free/commerical. Is it ok to use them.

thanks

  1. Valid? not really.

Amazon has some sharp people working there. I'm pretty sure this scheme wouldn't last very long. Your api access would be revoked pretty quickly.

  • If not using MWS or product advertising API, how about web screen scrapping using Proxy hosts. Is that a good idea? Just wondering how this guy achieved "http://zonasinhunter.com/" such fast scrapping results. – Subhash Makkena Apr 26 '14 at 05:46
