When scraping Amazon, you may encounter CAPTCHA challenges that need to be resolved before you can access further.Amazon currently has 2 main scenarios for captcha, one is FunCaptcha and one is Imagetotext

Funcaptcha is a type of CAPTCHA technology that was developed by a company called Arkose Labs. Unlike traditional CAPTCHAs, Funcaptcha uses interactive puzzles and games to differentiate between humans and bots. These puzzles are designed to be engaging and fun for humans, but difficult for bots to solve.

Image-to-text, also known as optical character recognition (OCR), is a technology that converts printed or handwritten text within an image into machine-readable text. It involves using algorithms and computer vision techniques to analyze the visual patterns and structures of characters in an image and translate them into editable and searchable text.
