Ways to get this data
Three approaches teams use today, and where each one runs into trouble.
| Approach | What it takes | Cost | Trade-off |
|---|---|---|---|
| Reading the rating page by hand | Open the page and note the numbers | Free, and slow | Fine for one seller, not for screening a list |
| Building a scraper | Write it, host it, and repair it when Yahoo! changes the page | Engineering time | A maintenance commitment for something that isn't your product |
| NeuralVerge | One request per seller | $5 per 1,000, misses not billed | Gives counts, not the comment text; use seller reviews for that |
