You sell jastingo™ brand widgets, but you notice fakes are being sold on eBay, Amazon, AliExpress. You set up a scraper to search for jastingo widgets every day on every marketplace site, but you get blocked. So now you need an unblocker to enforce your copyright/trademark/patent.

Why does it need to be that complicated? If marketplaces are selling fakes, get your lawyer to send them a letter.
What if you have 10 brands, with 10 products each, and there's 10 marketplaces.
Build a service that helps companies automate sending legal letters to marketplaces.
And that service will very likely be automatically scraping different marketplaces to detect the fake products each time they pop up again.
