Amazon Captcha Fix suggestion

[roachadam]

Expected Behavior

Amazon stock check works consistently without anti bot page.

Current Behavior

Without large delay in checking, amazon continuously returns anti bot captcha page.

Steps to Reproduce

1. Use latest version, amazon will eventually start throwing the bot page.

Suggestion

Implement randomized requests in between page requests. Every other stock check simply do a random search query or other page action and amazon will not throw captcha page.

Great suggestion!
@jef This should be pretty trivial, and we could even add it to the Store definition ("catpchaDeterrentLinks") so it can be reused elsewhere as needed. Assign to me if you want? Dunno when I'll get to it but should be simple enough once I have time :D

Here's an example of how I implemented it in my stock checker.

If bot hits bot page, it waits 5 seconds, then runs this method, waits 5 more seconds, and goes to product page and it works smoothly. @neatchee

@neatchee, in which code file did you add this? Can you do a PR for it?

@neatchee wrote that he needs a little time to implement it, think that was in discord. so we give him a few days :)

in any case, I am also very excited about the implementation. although I also think that it won't do much good, but let's see.

gigi is correct. I have no completed any work on this yet.

gigi is correct. I have no completed any work on this yet.

Maybe I can do it, I was looking at the source code, would you add it at below?

async function lookupCardInStock(
if (store.labels.captcha) {
if (await pageIncludesLabels(page, store.labels.captcha, baseOptions)) {
logger.warn(Print.captcha(link, store, true));
await delay(getSleepTime(store));
return false;
}
}

[neatchee]

Nope. We want it to be reusable across different stores with different search methods so it needs to be added to the store definitions. I'm working on it today :)

This has not been fixed.

Getting CAPTCHA error the second run through on Amazon

[neatchee]

As stated elsewhere, there is no "fix" for captcha. The best we can do is try to mitigate it. If you want to avoid captcha you will need to learn how the program works in detail and do some testing for what you need.
