The “dog page” is a common response error when the local Amazon server encounters an issue. Typically, it might be just a broken URL, with the possibility of being restricted from access when collecting public data from Amazon.
Here, you’ll find the most common causes, fixes, and an Oxylabs solution.
Rate limiting
A limit for the amount of requests a user can send to Amazon within a specific time period. Sending too many requests in a short amount of time could trigger this error.
Geo-restrictions
Amazon services are unavailable in certain countries. Some features or pages may be restricted in specific regions to segment audiences and provide differentiated offers.
Browser fingerprinting
Amazon collects cookies, headers, and other browser parameters to create and assign a unique digital fingerprint as a tracking measure to identify and restrict bot activity.
Broken URL
The simplest reason for encountering such a response from Amazon is the URL you are attempting to access is either incorrect, leading to an invalid destination, or it no longer exists.
Proxy servers hide your actual IP address and geographic location, letting the website see you as a different user with each browsing session. This way, you can access localized country-specific versions of the Amazon website anywhere in the world.
Setting the right browser fingerprint allows you to imitate organic user behavior. The right combination of browser settings and device parameters adds up to successful HTTP(S) requests.
Ready-made solutions like APIs combine website unblocking measures into all-in-one software with a high degree of user control and customization and can be integrated into pre-existing infrastructure.
