Scraping Walmart groceries canada

Post Body

I'm looking to scrape Walmart groceries in Canada (all grocery/food products) and scrape them atleast once a week, if not more often.

I'm scraping some other sites and I haven't needed to use any proxy services so far but from my research on Reddit, Walmart has pretty good bot detection.

Last thing I want is to have my home IP blocked by Walmart, which would make local development a pain.

I would love to hear from others who have or are scraping Walmart and figure what I can do to avoid getting blocked.

  1. Do I need proxy services
  2. Any information on rate limiting myself and how often is too often
  3. Do I use their graphql endpoint to scrape or use a headless/headful browser?
