Before we go any further assisting you with this, can you offer some
assurance that you are either working for Etsy or have specific
written permission to interface with their site in this way?
Otherwise what you are doing violates their terms of service (see
below) and while I cannot speak for others, I for one refuse to be a
party to any such activity.
>From Etsy's terms of service:
"11. Access and Interference
Etsy may contain robot exclusion headers which contain internal rules
for software usage. Much of the information on Etsy is updated on a
real-time basis and is proprietary or is licensed to Etsy by Etsy's
users or third-parties. You agree that you will not use any robot,
spider, scraper or other automated means to access Etsy for any
purpose whatsoever, except to the extent expressly permitted by and in
compliance with Etsy's API Terms of Use or otherwise without Etsy's
prior express written permission. Additionally, you agree that you
will not:
Take any action that imposes, or may impose, in Etsy's sole
discretion, an unreasonable or disproportionately large load on Etsy's
infrastructure
Copy, reproduce, modify, create derivative works from, distribute
or publicly display any user Content (except for your Content) or
other allowed uses as set out in The DOs & DON'Ts of Etsy from the
Site except to the extent expressly permitted by and in compliance
with Etsy's API Terms of Use or otherwise without the prior express
written permission of Etsy and the appropriate third party, as
applicable
Interfere or attempt to interfere with the proper working of the
Site or any activities conducted on the Site
Bypass Etsy's robot exclusion headers or other measures Etsy may
use to prevent or restrict access to Etsy
