Amazon Product Search Results Scraper

Export ranked Amazon keyword search results as structured product cards for assortment research, search-rank analysis, price tracking, and data pipelines. The Actor returns ASINs, titles, prices, ratings, review counts, images, Prime and sponsored signals, merchandising badges, delivery text, result positions, and source URLs.

It supports Amazon United States, United Kingdom, Germany, India, and Canada. Country-matched residential proxy sessions are selected automatically, so a new run needs keywords—not proxy configuration or a browser.

What can you do with this Amazon scraper?

• Capture a product assortment snapshot for one or many keywords.
• Compare organic and sponsored product placement.
• Track keyword rank, displayed price, rating, badges, and Prime status over scheduled runs.
• Research Amazon Germany, India, UK, Canada, or US search results with one output contract.
• Feed ranked product cards into Sheets, a warehouse, BI tools, or a monitoring workflow.
• Start from keywords or from real Amazon /s?k=... search URLs.

This Actor extracts search-result cards. It does not scrape product detail pages, reviews, seller profiles, inventory history, or a logged-in customer's personalized data.

Who is it for?

Brands and marketplace teams can watch which products appear for commercial keywords and how sponsored placement changes.

Amazon sellers can build repeatable snapshots of assortment, rank, price, ratings, and merchandising signals.

Agencies and analysts can export a consistent result table across supported marketplaces instead of maintaining locale-specific parsers.

Data engineers can schedule runs and send the default dataset to databases, spreadsheets, webhooks, or other Actors.

Why use this Actor?

• Search cards are normalized into a typed dataset rather than returned as HTML.
• Every row keeps the query, marketplace, page, position, and source URL that produced it.
• Search URLs and keyword inputs share the same filters and output schema.
• Challenge pages are treated as failures, not as valid empty results.
• Blocked proxy identities are retired with bounded retries.
• A global result limit prevents unexpectedly large runs.
• The lightweight HTTP implementation uses 256 MB rather than launching a browser for every page.

Amazon can vary the card layout, item count, and merchandising labels by marketplace, location, time, and session. Treat each run as an observable search snapshot, not a universal or personalized ranking.

What data does it extract?

Field	Meaning
asin	Amazon Standard Identification Number
title	Product title displayed in search
url	Canonical /dp/{ASIN} product URL
marketplace	US, UK, DE, IN, or CA
searchQuery	Keyword that produced the card
rank	Approximate rank across fetched result pages
page	Search result page number
positionOnPage	Card position on that page
price, priceText	Parsed numeric price and displayed price text
currency	Marketplace ISO currency code
rating	Displayed star rating, when present
reviewCount	Displayed rating/review count
imageUrl	Product thumbnail URL
isPrime	Whether the result card displays Prime
isSponsored	Whether Amazon identifies sponsored placement
badges	Labels such as Best Seller or limited-time deal
deliveryText	Delivery message shown on the card
sourceUrl	Exact search page requested
scrapedAt	UTC extraction timestamp

A price, rating, image, delivery message, or badge can be null or empty when Amazon does not display it on the search card.

How to scrape Amazon product search results

1. Open the Actor on Apify Console.
2. Add one or more values to Search keywords.
3. Choose the marketplace used for those keywords.
4. Set the maximum products and pages per keyword.
5. Optionally apply sort, price, rating, or sponsored-result filters.
6. Click Start.
7. Open the Product results dataset and export JSON, CSV, Excel, XML, RSS, or HTML.

The prefilled input searches for wireless mouse on Amazon US and returns up to 50 rows.

Input parameters

Input	Type	Default	Description
searchQueries	string array	[]	Keywords searched in the selected marketplace
startUrls	URL array	[]	Amazon /s search URLs; their domain and k keyword are detected
marketplace	string	US	Marketplace for searchQueries
maxItems	integer	50	Maximum saved products across all searches (1–1,000)
maxPagesPerQuery	integer	5	Maximum pages per keyword (1–20)
sort	string	relevance	Relevance, featured, price ascending/descending, or newest
minPrice	number	unset	Minimum price in marketplace currency
maxPrice	number	unset	Maximum price in marketplace currency
minimumRating	number	unset	Minimum displayed rating from 0 to 5
includeSponsored	boolean	true	Keep sponsored cards and label them
maxRequestRetries	integer	4	Residential sessions tried per blocked page (1–8)

Provide at least one non-empty keyword or supported search URL. Unsupported domains, product URLs, negative prices, inverted price ranges, and invalid limits fail with a clear error.

Supported marketplaces

Code	Domain	Currency	Proxy geography
US	amazon.com	USD	United States
UK	amazon.co.uk	GBP	United Kingdom
DE	amazon.de	EUR	Germany
IN	amazon.in	INR	India
CA	amazon.ca	CAD	Canada

A startUrls entry selects its marketplace from the URL, even when marketplace has another value.

Input examples

Search two related US assortments:

{
  "searchQueries": ["standing desk", "office chair"],
  "marketplace": "US",
  "maxItems": 60,
  "maxPagesPerQuery": 1,
  "minimumRating": 4,
  "maxPrice": 500,
  "includeSponsored": false
}

Use a specific Amazon Germany search URL:

{
  "startUrls": [
    { "url": "https://www.amazon.de/s?k=kaffeemaschine" }
  ],
  "maxItems": 20,
  "maxPagesPerQuery": 2
}

Output example

A dataset row has this shape (values vary with the live search page):

{
  "asin": "B004YAVF8I",
  "title": "Logitech M185 Compact Wireless Mouse",
  "url": "https://www.amazon.com/dp/B004YAVF8I",
  "marketplace": "US",
  "searchQuery": "wireless mouse",
  "rank": 1,
  "page": 1,
  "positionOnPage": 1,
  "price": 12.99,
  "priceText": "$12.99",
  "currency": "USD",
  "rating": 4.5,
  "reviewCount": 125000,
  "imageUrl": "https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/example.jpg",
  "isPrime": true,
  "isSponsored": false,
  "badges": ["Overall Pick"],
  "deliveryText": "Free delivery tomorrow",
  "sourceUrl": "https://www.amazon.com/s?k=wireless+mouse&page=1",
  "scrapedAt": "2026-08-01T09:00:00.000Z"
}

The default dataset contains only validated product cards. Failed pages and challenge HTML are never pushed as rows and are never charged as product results.

How much does it cost to scrape Amazon search results?

The Actor uses pay-per-event pricing: one Start event per run plus one Product result event for every validated row saved. Product-result rates decrease across Apify plan tiers. The current Console pricing is the source of truth.

At the initial BRONZE rate, representative examples are:

Workflow	Start	Product results	Estimated Actor charge
Small keyword check	1	20	about $0.085
Assortment snapshot	1	100	about $0.404
Larger export	1	500	about $2.001

These examples use a $0.005 Start and $0.003992 BRONZE product-result rate. Apify plan tiers can reduce the per-result rate. Your total platform bill can also reflect plan terms; always review the live pricing panel before a run.

Rank, filters, and interpretation

positionOnPage is the observed card order on one page. rank combines page and card position using Amazon's typical page capacity, so it is useful for repeated comparisons but should not be treated as an immutable universal rank.

Price and rating filters are sent where Amazon supports them and are also applied to parsed rows. When a filter is set, a row without the corresponding displayed value is excluded. includeSponsored: false removes cards recognized as sponsored.

Amazon may insert widgets, carousels, editorial blocks, or ads that are not ordinary product cards. Those elements can make card rank differ from a human counting every visual block.

Recurring assortment and price tracking

The Actor produces snapshots; Apify schedules make them recurring:

1. Create a Task with stable keywords, marketplace, filters, and limits.
2. Schedule it daily, weekly, or at another useful interval.
3. Store or export each run's dataset.
4. Join snapshots by marketplace + searchQuery + asin.
5. Compare rank, price, rating, sponsored status, badges, and first/last appearance.

The Actor does not maintain historical state or emit change alerts by itself. Use a database, workflow tool, or downstream Actor to compare runs.

Integrations and exports

You can send results to:

• Google Sheets or Microsoft Excel for assortment review.
• BigQuery, Snowflake, PostgreSQL, or another warehouse for history.
• Make, Zapier, n8n, or webhooks for scheduled workflows.
• Python or JavaScript analysis notebooks.
• Apify Actors that deduplicate, transform, monitor, or enrich datasets.

Every primary result is in the run's default dataset, so standard Apify integrations work without custom storage names.

• “Export the first 20 coffee machine results from Amazon Germany.”
• “Find Amazon US standing desks rated at least 4 stars below $500, excluding sponsored cards.”

Legality, limits, and responsible use

• Results are public search-card data visible to the Actor's marketplace session.
• Search results can vary by geography, time, cookies, experimentation, and availability.
• Maximum output is 1,000 products per run and 20 pages per keyword.
• Residential proxies are required and selected internally; no browser fallback is used.
• A blocked page is retried with bounded session rotation. If every requested search remains blocked, the run fails rather than returning a misleading empty dataset.
• The Actor does not log in, bypass CAPTCHAs, access orders, or scrape customer-specific pages.
• Do not use the output to violate Amazon's terms, intellectual-property rights, privacy laws, or applicable regulations.
• Avoid collecting more data than your legitimate purpose requires and respect retention obligations.

Troubleshooting

Why did the run fail after session rotation?

Amazon may temporarily challenge all tested residential identities for a marketplace. Retry later, reduce the number of pages or keywords, and keep retries at the default before increasing them. The Actor deliberately fails when no requested search reaches a recognizable result page.

Why are some prices or ratings missing?

Amazon does not display every field on every card. Variants, unavailable items, ads, and some category layouts can omit a price, rating, delivery message, or Prime badge. Nullable output preserves that distinction instead of inventing values.

Why does my result order differ from a browser?

Search order can depend on location, time, session, experiments, account state, and sponsored inventory. The Actor captures a country-matched anonymous session. Compare consistent scheduled inputs rather than expecting a personalized browser session to match exactly.

Why did I receive fewer rows than maxItems?

maxItems is a ceiling. Filters, duplicate ASINs, exhausted pages, natural result volume, and unavailable card fields can all reduce accepted rows.

FAQ

Can I search Amazon India or Germany?

Yes. Choose IN or DE for keyword inputs, or supply an amazon.in or amazon.de /s?k=... URL. Currency and residential proxy geography follow the marketplace.

Can I scrape multiple keywords?

Yes. Add several strings to searchQueries. maxItems applies across the entire run, so raise it enough to allow later keywords to contribute rows.

Does it scrape product details or reviews?

No. It returns the fields visible on search cards. Use a related detail or review Actor when you need detail-page attributes or review text.

Does it detect sponsored products?

Yes. Sponsored cards are marked with isSponsored, and you can remove recognized sponsored rows with includeSponsored: false.

Can I monitor changes automatically?

Create and schedule an Apify Task, then compare its datasets downstream. This Actor creates clean snapshots but does not persist history or send alerts itself.

Support

If a supported marketplace consistently fails or a current Amazon card layout produces malformed rows, open an issue from the Actor's Apify page. Include the marketplace, a non-sensitive keyword or search URL, input limits, run ID, and a short description of the expected output. Do not include account credentials or private customer data.
