I did a similar thing in Ruby 👍 I had issues with some stores like Fnac, which seem to have anti-scraping protection of some sort. They worked well for a couple of weeks but the page started returning 401s via my script or curl, while working perfectly fine on the browser. I tried to send the same cookies as my browser sends but I probably messed that up because I never got past the 401s. I eventually just dropped those stores. And I neglected the project a bit, so yeah 😅
