TLDR
E-commerce websites try to prevent crawlers from parsing their websites' data. This is usually done by blocking requests from crawlers based on an IP. Crawling software often uses so-called data center IPs, which are easy to detect and block. Websites can trick crawlers by displaying fake and irrelevant information. Residential proxies can be helpful here to avoid web scraping problems and blocks. Using a rotating proxy tool helps aggregators to ensure accuracy and consistency of their data, while avoiding blocks and other problems.via the TL;DR App
