Amazon Product & Best Sellers Scraper: Search, Buy Box

Track where products rank for a keyword, watch competitors' prices and sponsored slots, or pull Best Sellers for product research. Give it search terms, Best Sellers categories, ASINs or Amazon links and it returns JSON rows from 21 Amazon stores. Search rows carry position, sponsored flag, ASIN, title, price, list price, rating, rating count, badges and "bought in past month" at $0.54 per 1,000. Best Sellers, New Releases and Movers & Shakers rows carry rank, price and rating for all 100 ranks; product rows per ASIN carry the Buy Box price and seller, ships-from, delivery promise, the star split and every other offer. You pay only for the rows you get.

Why this actor

• Drop-in input. Input written for apt_marble/amazon-search-results-scraper (keywords, maxResultsPerKeyword, sortBy, excludeSponsored, marketplace: "us"), santamaria-automations/amazon-search-scraper (searchQueries, country, maxResultsPerQuery, maxPages, minStars), khadinakbar/amazon-product-search-scraper (searchQuery, maxResults, maxSearchPages) or junglee/Amazon-crawler (categoryOrProductUrls, maxItemsPerStartUrl) works as it is.
• About half the price per search row. $0.54 per 1,000 against $1 at apt_marble and santamaria-automations, the two most used Amazon search actors, and $2 at khadinakbar (free plan, Apify Store, 2026-10-31). 51 of our 51 runs since 2026-10-22 succeeded (scheduled and test runs, Apify run history).
• 21 stores, Best Sellers and Buy Box in one actor. Search, Best Sellers / New Releases / Movers & Shakers ranks and Buy Box + offers per ASIN, with local prices and sellers: non-US stores are read from an IP in their own country (US, DE and JP are checked every day).
• No login, no Amazon account, no customer reviews or reviewer names. Unknown ASINs, bad URLs and temporary blocks come back as free error rows with a code.

Row	Free plan	Business, Platinum and Diamond
Search result	$0.54 per 1,000	$0.54 per 1,000
Best Sellers row	$5.31 per 1,000	$2.88 per 1,000
Product row (Buy Box and offers)	$2.25 per 1,000	$1.35 per 1,000

Built by Arcadium Data: public data, dated and agent-ready, never personal data.

Use with AI agents

The actor takes plain JSON and returns flat rows, so an AI agent or MCP client (for example through mcp.apify.com) can call arcadium/amazon-products directly. Input example for "What sells for this keyword on amazon.de, ads excluded":

{ "marketplace": "DE", "searches": ["kopfhörer"], "maxResultsPerSearch": 30, "includeSponsored": false }

"Top 50 Best Sellers in Electronics on amazon.com":

{ "categories": ["electronics"], "listTypes": ["bestsellers"], "maxResultsPerList": 50 }

"Who holds the Buy Box and at what price, plus every other offer":

{ "asins": ["B0DCH8VDXF", "B08JHCVHTY"], "maxOffers": 20 }

Read rowType first: searchResult rows carry position, sponsored, asin, price, rating and boughtPastMonth; bestseller rows carry rank, listType and categoryName; product rows carry buyBoxPrice, buyBoxSeller, starPercent and offers. 100 search rows cost about $0.06 on the free plan. An unknown ASIN or category, a URL we do not read, or a temporary block comes back as a free row with rowType: "error", a code (not_found, no_match, invalid_input, blocked, unavailable) and a message, never as a failed run, so an agent can tell "does not exist" from "try again later".

Field	What it does
marketplace	Store for searches, categories and ASINs: US, GB, DE, FR, IT, ES, CA, JP, AU, IN, MX, BR, NL, SE, PL, BE, TR, AE, SA, SG, EG. URLs use their own store.
searches	Keywords. Each gives up to maxResultsPerSearch rows (default 48, up to 1,000) over as many result pages as needed.
categories, listTypes	Category paths as in Best Sellers URLs (electronics, electronics/172541, ce-de on amazon.de) and which lists to read: bestsellers (default), new-releases, movers-and-shakers, most-wished-for, most-gifted.
maxResultsPerList	Ranks per list, up to 100 (default 50).
asins	Product rows: Buy Box, offers and star split per ASIN.
urls	Search URLs (filters kept), list URLs and product URLs of any of the 21 stores.
sort, minPrice, maxPrice	Search order (relevance, priceAsc, priceDesc, rating, newest, bestSellers) and price range, applied by Amazon.
minRating, includeSponsored	Drop results below a star rating, or drop ads. Skipped cards are free.
includeProductRows	Also read the product row of every ASIN a search or list found (charged as product rows).
maxOffers	Other offers per product row (default 10, up to 20).
maxItems	Stop after this many charged rows in total. A cost cap.
includeErrorRows	A free row for every input without data (on by default).

Input names of the most used Amazon scrapers are accepted as they are (categoryOrProductUrls and startUrls with { "url": ... } objects, categoryUrls, maxItemsPerStartUrl, maxSearchPagesPerStartUrl, countryCode, amazonDomain, asins, searchQueries, country, maxResultsPerQuery, maxPages, maxResults, sortBy, minStars, includeSponsored, Params, website, queries, maxOffers, retries, keywords, maxResultsPerKeyword, excludeSponsored, lowercase marketplace codes, searchQuery, maxSearchPages), so an existing input can be pasted in. Not supported and ignored: primeOnly, language, enrichDetails (turn on includeProductRows for product details; they are charged as product rows).

Use it from code

Python:

from apify_client import ApifyClient

client = ApifyClient("<YOUR_APIFY_TOKEN>")
run = client.actor("arcadium/amazon-products").call(run_input={
    "marketplace": "GB",
    "searches": ["phone charger"],
    "maxResultsPerSearch": 60,
})
for item in client.dataset(run["defaultDatasetId"]).iterate_items():
    if item["rowType"] == "searchResult":
        print(item["position"], item["sponsored"], item["priceText"], item["title"][:60])

JavaScript:

import { ApifyClient } from 'apify-client';

const client = new ApifyClient({ token: '<YOUR_APIFY_TOKEN>' });
const run = await client.actor('arcadium/amazon-products').call({
  asins: ['B0DCH8VDXF', 'B08JHCVHTY'],
  maxOffers: 20,
});
const { items } = await client.dataset(run.defaultDatasetId).listItems();
for (const p of items.filter((i) => i.rowType === 'product')) console.log(p.asin, p.buyBoxPriceText, p.buyBoxSeller);

Pricing

You pay per row delivered, at the price of your Apify plan. Error rows, repeats, skipped ads and results below your star filter are free.

Apify plan	Per 1,000 search results	Per 1,000 Best Sellers rows	Per 1,000 product rows
Free	$0.54	$5.31	$2.25
Starter (Bronze)	$0.54	$4.50	$1.80
Scale (Silver)	$0.54	$3.69	$1.53
Business (Gold)	$0.54	$2.88	$1.35
Platinum	$0.54	$2.88	$1.35
Diamond	$0.54	$2.88	$1.35

Plus a one-off $0.001 per GB of memory when a run starts.

Set a maximum cost per run in the Apify run options and the actor stops before it goes over.

Watch mode (below): new and changed rows are charged as above. From the second run of a watch key on, each unchanged row costs a small check event, on every plan: search row $0.50, Best Sellers row $0.10, product row $0.85 per 1,000 (search-check, bestseller-check, product-check). The run still reads every page, and a search page costs about the same to read whether its cards moved or not. The first run of a watch key is a normal run, charged normally.

Watch mode: pay only for changes

Set "watch": true and a watchKey (for example "earbuds-us"), then run the same input on an Apify schedule. The first run has nothing to compare with: it is a normal run, returns every row and is charged normally, and it saves a snapshot. Every later run with the same key returns only new rows and rows where something a seller watches changed, each with a change object:

• search rows: rank (organic position, or position for ads), price, list price, rating, badges, bought in past month;
• Best Sellers rows: rank, price, rating (identified by list + ASIN, so a rank move is a change, not a new row);
• product rows: Buy Box present, Buy Box price, list price, seller, condition, fulfilled by Amazon, other offer count, rating.

{
  "type": "changed",
  "fields": [{ "field": "rank", "old": 7, "new": 6 }, { "field": "price", "old": null, "new": 39.95 }],
  "previousCheckAt": "2026-10-31T13:07:13.631Z"
}

Rating counts and delivery dates are left out because they move on almost every run. Search ranks move a lot: in our test, two runs 36 seconds apart changed 26 of 30 search rows (20 rank moves, 6 new), while 0 of 20 Best Sellers rows changed. Watch mode saves most on Best Sellers and product rows. Every watch run also adds one free watch-summary row: checked, unchanged, changed, new, gone (in the last snapshot, not found now), delivered, checksCharged, firstRun, previousCheckAt and complete (false when the run stopped early, e.g. at your cost limit: then nothing counts as gone and changes that were not delivered come again next run). The snapshot is kept in a named store (amazon-products-watch) in your account; use one watchKey per input you monitor.

Weekly digest

Add "digest": true to a watch run to get one more free row, rowType: "watch-digest", that sums up the changes of the last digestDays days (default 7, up to 90) for this watchKey: new, changed, gone, byType (counts per change type), topMoves (the 5 biggest moves per metric and direction, largest relative change first, each with label, old, new, delta, pct), runs in the window, windowStart, windowEnd, previousDigestAt and summary: one plain-text line an AI agent or a workflow can paste into an email or Slack message as it is. The window is rolling: put the watch on a daily schedule and every run's digest covers the last 7 days, or run weekly and read one digest a week. The first run of a key only saves the baseline and its rows are not counted as changes. The window is kept as a second record in the same key-value store as the snapshot. The digest row is free; there is no extra event.

Change types: price_drop, price_rise (price or Buy Box price), rank_move, buy_box (seller, condition or Buy Box present changed), changed (anything else) and new. topMoves ranks price, buyBoxPrice, rank and rating; labels are the ASIN and the start of the title. Example summary (illustrative values):

amazon watch "earbuds-us", last 7 days (7 runs): 12 new, 85 changed, 9 gone. rank moves 61, price drops 14, price rises 10. Biggest price drop: B0EXAMPLE1 Wireless Earbuds ... 49.99 -> 34.99, -30%. Biggest rank rise: B0EXAMPLE2 ... 3 -> 18, +500%.

For rank, a rise is a higher number, i.e. a worse position.

Use cases

• Price and Buy Box monitoring: who holds the Buy Box for your ASINs, at what price, and which sellers undercut it, on a daily schedule.
• Keyword and shelf research: where your product and your rivals rank for a search, organic and sponsored, with "bought in past month".
• Category trends: Best Sellers, New Releases and Movers & Shakers per category and store, all 100 ranks.
• Cross-border pricing: the same ASIN on amazon.com, .co.uk, .de and .co.jp in local currency.
• Agents: "find the top-rated products for X under $50 and tell me who sells them".

Limitations

• Search, ranked lists and the light product row only. The full product page (bullets, brand, BSR, variations, dimensions) is not part of this actor.
• Customer reviews are not collected: Amazon shows them only to signed-in visitors, and we never sign in.
• Delivery and prices are those of a shopper in the store's country without a postcode; a specific postcode needs a sign-in, so it is not supported.
• Search results follow Amazon's own ranking and personalisation for a logged-out visitor; ads and positions move during the day.
• Amazon answers some requests with a captcha or a "Something went wrong" page. The actor retries those on a new IP; inputs that still fail come back as free blocked or unavailable rows.

Privacy

Public storefront data only, read the way a logged-out shopper's browser reads Amazon. No login, no account, no cookies of a user, no captcha solving. Seller names are the business names Amazon shows on the offer; no customer, reviewer or buyer data is collected.

FAQ

Why do non-US stores cost the same but run a little slower? They are read from an IP in their own country, so prices, sellers and delivery are the local ones (a US IP sees export prices). Those IPs are slower than our datacenter IPs.

A category returned nothing. Why? Look at its error row: not_found means the category path does not exist on that store (paths differ per store, e.g. ce-de on amazon.de); no_match means Amazon shows the list as empty right now (Movers & Shakers is often empty, at times in every category of a store); unavailable means the page could not be read. These rows are free.

How fast is it? Search: about 50 results per second. Ranked lists: 50 ranks in about two seconds. Product rows: about two per second.
