Very cool. I guess as you grow, you could get more partners and the data will keep getting more and more accurate. I wish big guys like Amazon released aggregated sales data.

How do you get access to Amazon searches, google searches etc? do you have to pay for those?

Absolutely. I don't pay to access data. All of my projects are around collecting data. I'm a master scraper ️

Just checked your list of products, very cool!

I've always wondered about building a career with scraping, but never got around to it. One reason is the legality of scraping - big sites like Craigslist have gone after (and shut down) smaller projects. I believe priceonomics (YC company) built a big business with scraping.
