Step 4: the live Amazon page

🌐 English · Dansk · Bahasa Melayu

Assignment. Point the code at the real Amazon product page and print the price and the title.

What happened. On 2026-10-28 Amazon answered the bot with HTTP 200 and a robot-check page ("Click the button below to continue shopping"), not the product. There was no price to read.

The page Amazon returned

What we built. is_robot_check recognises that page and the bot stops with a clear message. It does not try to solve or get past the check. Selectors and markers are in constants.py; PRODUCT_URL in .env chooses another page, for example the practice page.

Output of the bot on the live page

What we gained

  • Live sites change and may refuse scripts; the practice page is the reliable baseline.
  • Failing clearly is part of the job: a specific error beats a traceback or a wrong number.
  • Respect for the site: no workarounds for a bot check.
  • Selectors kept as data, so a markup change is a one-line edit.
