Thats the correct way of handling it, problem is not that many sites actually do that, or atleast they didn't used to.

Back in the day before teespring had a public API I was scraping order counts from product listings, prob was the main domain was behind CF so the "sold count" was always cached and I wanted the live number. I actually used "CrimeFlare" back then to get the real IP of the origin server and queried that instead. And thats TeeSpring.

Twitch also until recently had their origin server open to all (allthough it would often bounce you back to www.)
