## Briefing
- Scrapfly: Scrapfly published a blog post evaluating five open-source Amazon scraper repositories by stars, commit recency, license, code paths, and live failure modes.

## Why it matters
Amazon is one of the most aggressively anti-bot targets in e-commerce, and scraper repos on GitHub often rot quickly as Amazon changes its frontend. This comparison gives practitioners a curated, up-to-date reference for choosing a maintainable scraper, highlighting which projects actually survive in production versus those that look good on paper.
