Manually scraping Amazon involves inspecting the webpage of the product for which you want to collect pricing data. This can be done by right-clicking on the product page and selecting "Inspect" to view the page's HTML source code. You'll need to locate the specific HTML elements that contain the product's price, title, and any other relevant information you wish to scrape. This process requires a basic understanding of HTML and possibly some trial and error to identify the correct elements.

Once identified, you can use Python libraries such as BeautifulSoup and Requests to write a script that makes a request to the Amazon product page, parses the HTML to extract the needed data, and then saves this data in a desired format. However, this method has its limitations, including the need for programming knowledge and the potential for your IP address to be blocked by Amazon for making automated requests.
