PHP Script that receives information from specified websites

I am trying to create a script that will gather information from Amazon product listing based on entered product ASIN (description, image, price, seller name). Functionality should be similar to this one: http://www.savings.com/pricejump

I tried to use DOM to receive HTML elements but I am concerned about IP ban if I have too many requests in short period of time. I plan to have several hundred requests per day with this script.

Can you please share some useful links on this subject. I really don't know in which direction to head.

Any help would be highly appreciated.

You could use their affiliate program, which is free and would allow enough requests to accomplish what you asked. Plus it provides a web services API, which is much cleaner and easier to use than screen scraping.
