Scrapes all books over [Amazon] (https://www.amazon.in) Refer to requirements.txt for dependencies. We used scrapy framework to make our working smooth here. Scrapy is an application framework for crawling web sites and extracting structured data which can be used for a wide range of useful applications, like data mining, information processing or historical archival.
