🇨🇦 Amazon Canada Seller Scraper (Storefront & Business Data)

Extract verified Amazon Canada (Amazon.ca) seller profiles, legal corporate entities, business names, customer service addresses, and contact phone numbers with automated proxy rotation and anti-bot bypass.

⚡ The 503 Robot Check Problem & Solution

Amazon's anti-bot system detects repetitive scraping patterns and flags datacenter IP pools with HTTP 503 Robot Check CAPTCHA interstitials after just 30–50 consecutive requests.

Our Fast HTTP Extraction Engine solves this by:

• Rotating Proxy Pools: Distributing requests across residential and Canadian/US IP ranges (countryCode: "CA", "US").
• Direct Storefront Targeting: Extracting directly from /sp?seller={SELLER_ID} storefront profiles without heavy, slow headless browsers.
• Cheerio/HTTP Parsing: Consumes <120 MB RAM and parses seller metadata in sub-second speeds.

❓ Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Can I look up specific Amazon Seller IDs?
A: Yes! Use the sellerIds input parameter and supply an array of Merchant IDs (e.g., ["A3DWYIK6Y9EEQB", "A1K21FY432HKDH"]) to scrape their legal entity records directly.

Q: Does this scraper capture Chinese or US sellers operating on Amazon.ca?
A: Yes. Many international sellers sell on the Canadian marketplace. The country and businessAddress fields accurately reflect where the seller's corporate entity is legally registered.

Q: Can I integrate this directly into HubSpot, Salesforce, or Airtable?
A: Yes. Use Apify Webhooks or Make/Zapier connections to push new seller leads directly into your sales pipelines.
