## Description

This project is an Amazon web scraper and e-commerce data extractor designed to retrieve product names, prices, and ratings. It functions as a headless browser crawler that converts unstructured web content from product listings into structured JSON and CSV formats.

The tool incorporates anti-bot bypass capabilities to circumvent CAPTCHAs and security challenges. It achieves this through the use of residential proxy integration, automatic proxy rotation, and the modification of browser fingerprints to simulate human interaction patterns.

The system provides broad web scraping capabilities, including server-side JavaScript rendering and automated browser interaction. It handles product listing traversal and pagination to discover deep web content, utilizing CSS selectors for product detail extraction and unique identification numbers for region-specific data retrieval.

The project also includes utilities for localized web data access and automated ad verification to check display and delivery across different geographic locations.
