Slow response times or timeouts happen on heavily trafficked sites. I usually add a retry mechanism with exponential backoff to handle this.

How can I scrape product listings on eBay without violating their policies?
eBay has a robots.txt file, and I always check it before scraping to make sure I’m following their guidelines on what’s allowed.
