Amazon captcha

[Jaymon]

Amazon scraper has run into Amazon's bot check

Doing some research, it looks like you could automate a way to bypass it since the captcha is intentionally weak:

March 31, 2016 – Vendor Response. Weak captcha is intentional. Have additional controls in place to detect and respond to this type of issue.

I'm not really interested in playing a cat and mouse game with Amazon though, I wish they would just give official support to a Wishlist api because I buy more when I can script against my wishlist (for example, after I got this working again I bought 3 Kindle books when my script could access my wishlist again).

Anyway, I'm putting this here just so I can refer back to it in the future if I need to.
