Amazon.ca

Amazon.ca is one of the largest online e-commerce platforms in Canada, offering a wide range of products from books and electronics to clothing and household goods. Proxy verification for Amazon.ca aims to confirm the proxy's ability to bypass the site's security mechanisms, providing stable and secure access to the site's content and features, such as adding items to your cart and completing purchases. This is especially important for automating processes such as price monitoring, inventory management and bulk order fulfillment.

Verification Algorithm

The algorithm for checking the proxy for Amazon.ca includes the following steps:

1. Customizing Request Headers:

   • Using fake HTTP headers that mimic the behavior of a real browser to bypass bot detection.

2. Sending GET requests to Amazon.ca:

   • First Request: Making a GET request to the Amazon.ca search results page through a proxy.

   • Second Request: Making a GET request to the Amazon.ca home page through a proxy.

   • Third Request: Execute a GET request to a specific product page (e.g., https://www.amazon.ca/dp/B0B4FKBDWV) through a proxy.

3. Analyzing Responses:

   • Checking the HTTP status code (must be 200).

   • Parsing HTML response to check if there is an add-to-cart-button, which confirms correct access to site functionality.

Features of the Algorithm

• Fake Headers:

  • Generating fake HTTP headers using fake_headers helps to avoid detection of automated requests by Amazon.ca.

• Two-stage Verification:

  • The first query to Google mimics real user behavior, which reduces the likelihood of proxy blocking.

  • The second and third requests directly to Amazon.ca check the availability of the site and the functionality of adding items to the cart.

• HTML parsing:

  • Using BeautifulSoup to analyze page structure and check for specific elements (e.g., an “Add to Cart” button) provides accurate verification of proxy access and functionalit
