Bot Traffic

We would prefer it if you did not scrape the UKMEDI site. We have a detailed data feed which should contain all of the information that you need to populate your site with information about UKMEDI products. If you do scrape the site there is a high chance that your activity will be identified as bot traffic and you will be blocked from accessing the site. If you believe that you need to scrape the site in order to operate effectively please get in touch with your affiliate network contact.
