Noah Bennett leads the data engineering practice at ChocoData, the team behind Amazon Scraper API. Before ChocoData he ran Amazon-catalogue extraction at two price-intelligence vendors (one acquired, one still quietly printing money), and he's seen every extractor-breaking A/B layout Amazon has shipped since 2018.
He built ChocoData's current extraction pipeline from scratch in 2024 after the post-November review-lockdown reshape broke most third-party scrapers. The core principles he brought in - pay-per-success billing, country-matched residential IPs, and never ship an extractor change without a 100-ASIN regression suite - are why the production success rate sits at 97% today.
Noah writes about Amazon scraping the way he builds it: concrete code, real numbers, no cargo-culted "use a premium proxy and hope" advice. If a tutorial on this site shows a selector, it's one he's verified on a real product page in the last month. If a tutorial shows a cost number, it came off a real customer's invoice.
Off-platform Noah is a long-time Go and Python practitioner, an amateur chocolatier (hence ChocoData's bear mascot), and a perpetual lurker in the r/dataengineering community.
