• Data analysis (Python, R, Excel)

🔧 Advanced Features

Bypass 100-Review Pagination Limit

Amazon limits pagination to 10 pages × 10 reviews = 100 reviews max per query. This scraper bypasses that limit by filtering reviews by star rating:

• Set starRatings: [1, 2, 3, 4, 5] (default)
• Set maxReviewsPerProduct: 500
• Scraper fetches up to 100 reviews per star rating = 500 total

Example: Scrape 500 reviews for a popular product

{
  "productUrls": [{"url": "https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08N5WRWNW"}],
  "maxReviewsPerProduct": 500,
  "starRatings": [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]
}

Filter by Star Rating

Focus on specific review types:

Negative reviews only (customer support monitoring):

{
  "starRatings": [1, 2],
  "maxReviewsPerProduct": 100
}

Positive reviews only (marketing testimonials):

{
  "starRatings": [4, 5],
  "maxReviewsPerProduct": 100
}

Verified Purchases Only

Get authentic customer feedback:

{
  "verifiedOnly": true
}

Sort by Most Helpful

Get high-quality reviews first:

{
  "sortBy": "helpful",
  "maxReviewsPerProduct": 50
}

• 500 reviews = $1.00

Example Cost Calculations:

Reviews	Cost

100	$0.20
250	$0.50
500	$1.00
1,000	$2.00

⚡ Performance

• Speed: <10 seconds for 100 reviews
• Reliability: 99%+ success rate
• Scalability: Handle 500 reviews/product via star-rating filters
• Anti-Bot: Residential proxies + stealth plugin bypass Amazon's protection

🛠️ Technical Details

Technology Stack

• Browser Automation: Playwright with stealth plugin
• Anti-Bot: playwright-extra + puppeteer-extra-plugin-stealth
• Proxy: Residential proxies (required for Apify platform)
• Language: TypeScript + Node.js 20

Why Residential Proxies?

Amazon blocks datacenter IPs aggressively. Residential proxies are required for reliable scraping on Apify platform. Local development may work without proxies, but production runs will fail.

Cost: Residential proxies cost extra ($2-5 per GB) but are the only working solution for Amazon at scale.

📝 Limitations & Best Practices

Limitations

1. Amazon may show CAPTCHA for excessive requests (rate limiting helps)
2. Some reviews may be hidden behind "See more" buttons (handled automatically)
3. Maximum 500 reviews per product (using star-rating filters)
4. Only supports Amazon.com (US) marketplace

Best Practices

1. Use residential proxies: Required for production runs
2. Set reasonable delays: 3-5 seconds between requests (default: 3000ms)
3. Start small: Test with 1-2 products before scaling
4. Monitor errors: Check logs for CAPTCHA or rate limiting issues
5. Respect Amazon's ToS: Use for legitimate research purposes only

🔐 Legal & Compliance

• Scraping publicly available review data
• Respects robots.txt and rate limiting
• No login or authentication bypass
• Use responsibly and in accordance with Amazon's Terms of Service

📧 Support

• Email: kontakt@barrierefix.de
• Issues: Report bugs via Apify Console
• Custom Development: Available for enterprise customers
