      Please extend the time, i can write an efficient bot in python, which will go through all the products in the site and collect data.

    Please see entry #26 for working demo. It features a well structured, and organised code base. It's highly scalable and easy to maintain. In addition, all actions can be executed from the command line without the interface which simplifies scheduling tasks and is way faster.
