Amazon Search & Product Scraper

This actor extracts Amazon product data based on one or more search keywords.
It uses a two‑stage crawling approach to balance speed, reliability, and data completeness.

• Search result pages are crawled to discover ASINs
• Individual product pages are crawled to extract detailed product information
• Built with Playwright, session pooling, and residential proxies for Amazon stability

---

Key Capabilities

• Multiple search keywords in a single run
• Automatic pagination of search results
• Configurable maximum results per keyword
• Full product‑level data extraction
• Supports products with or without ratings/reviews
• Safe seller extraction using verify logic (no waiting for optional elements)
• Retry strategy:
  • Search pages: up to 5 retries
  • Product pages: 1 retry
• Session pooling + residential proxies for reduced blocking

Recommended Proxy Setup

For Amazon scraping, Residential proxies are strongly recommended.

{
  "useApifyProxy": true,
  "apifyProxyGroups": ["RESIDENTIAL"],
  "countryCode": "IN"
}

• Match proxy country with Amazon domain
• Keep Playwright concurrency ≤ 3 for stability

---

Limitations

• Amazon DOM structure may change over time
• Prices, sellers, and availability can vary by user/location
• Some products may not have ratings or reviews
• Excessive concurrency can trigger bot protection

---

Troubleshooting Tips

1. Use residential proxies (avoid datacenter IPs)
2. Reduce max_results if timeouts occur
3. Avoid extremely generic keywords
4. Check Actor logs for blocked pages
