Amazon Product Scraper - Best Sellers, ASIN, Prices, Ratings

Amazon Product Scraper is an Amazon API alternative that collects public product data from Amazon search results, category listings and Amazon Best Sellers rankings on 24 Amazon marketplaces, and returns it as clean, flat JSON. Every record has the ASIN, title, price and list price as numbers, rating and number of ratings, Prime, Amazon's Choice and best-seller flags, the "bought in past month" volume, delivery text and image. It is for sellers, product researchers, price monitors and data teams, with no Amazon account, API keys, proxies or cookies needed. Pricing is pay-per-event: $0.004 per product, plus a $0.023 start fee per run.

What data can you get?

One record per product. Search and category records use the same field names in every marketplace. Best Sellers records use a smaller set of 15 fields (see below the table). Fields that only make sense in one mode are noted.

Field	What it contains
asin	Amazon product ID (ASIN)
url	Link to the product page
title	Product title
price	Price as a number in the marketplace currency
priceText	Price exactly as Amazon shows it, with currency symbol
originalPrice	Crossed-out list price as a number
originalPriceText	Crossed-out list price as shown
currency	Currency code of the prices
rating	Average star rating out of 5
ratingCount	Number of ratings
salesVolume	Lower bound of the "bought in past month" text, as a number (for example 10000 for "10K+")
salesVolumeText	Bought-in-past-month text as shown, for example "10K+ bought in past month"
isPrime	Eligible for Prime
isAmazonChoice	Carries the Amazon's Choice badge
isBestSeller	Carries the Best Seller badge
isClimatePledgeFriendly	Carries the Climate Pledge Friendly label
rank	Position in the Best Sellers ranking (bestSellers mode)
rankChangeLabel	Rank movement label shown by Amazon, when there is one (bestSellers mode)
category	Best Sellers category path the ranking belongs to (bestSellers mode)
categoryName	Name of the Best Sellers category (bestSellers mode)
categoryId	Category ID the product was listed under (category mode)
searchKeyword	Search keyword the product was found with (search mode)
offerCount	Number of offers (sellers) for the product
lowestOfferPriceText	Lowest offer price as shown
badge	Deal badge, such as "Limited time deal"
couponText	Coupon or subscribe-and-save text
unitCount	Number of units in the pack, when Amazon gives it
unitPriceText	Price per unit as shown
hasVariations	Has size, colour or other variations
subtitle	Short line under the title (features or brand line), as Amazon shows it
bookFormat	Format shown for books and media
delivery	Delivery estimate text
imageUrl	Main product image
country	Marketplace country code
domain	Amazon domain the data came from
type	Record type: product or bestSeller

Best Sellers records contain only these 15 fields: type, rank, asin, url, category, categoryName, title, priceText, price, rating, ratingCount, rankChangeLabel, imageUrl, country and domain. The other fields in the table (for example originalPrice, currency, isPrime, salesVolume, delivery, offerCount and badge) appear only in product records from search and category mode.

How the data is shaped

• Numbers you can use. price and originalPrice are numbers; the text as Amazon shows it is kept in priceText and originalPriceText. rating is a number out of 5. salesVolume is the lower bound of Amazon's rounded "bought in past month" text.
• Flat fields, nothing nested. One record per product. Search and category records share the same field names in every marketplace, so you can merge those runs without remapping columns. Best Sellers records use the smaller set of 15 fields listed above.
• Two record types. Search and category runs return "type": "product". Best Sellers runs return "type": "bestSeller" with rank, category and categoryName, limited to the 15 fields listed above.

How to use Amazon Product Scraper

1. Open the Actor in Apify Console.
2. Choose a Mode: search products by keyword, products of a category, or a Best Sellers ranking.
3. Choose the Marketplace (for example US for amazon.com, DE for amazon.de, JP for amazon.co.jp).
4. Fill in the input for your mode: keywords or ASINs, category IDs, or Best Sellers category paths. In search mode you can add sort, condition, deals and Prime filters.
5. Set Max results to the total number of products you want for the whole run.
6. Click Start. When the run finishes, download the dataset as JSON, CSV or Excel, or read it through the Apify API.

The Actor also runs in seconds with an empty input: {} searches "wireless earbuds" on amazon.com.

  "rank": 1,
  "category": "electronics",

How much does it cost?

The Actor uses pay-per-event pricing. These are the charge events and their prices:

Event	Price (USD)	When it is charged
run-start	$0.023	Once per run, charged when the first request succeeds, even if that request returns nothing. It is not charged when the run fails from the start or rejects the IDs, or when your spending limit cannot cover it. When you give several keywords, categories or rankings, each one after the first pays one more start fee, but only if the run actually reaches it. That extra fee is charged before that input's first request and is kept even if that input then fails or returns nothing.
result	$0.004	For each product returned

Worked examples:

• 100 products from one keyword: $0.023 + 100 x $0.004 = $0.423.
• A full Best Sellers ranking (100 products) for one category: $0.023 + 100 x $0.004 = $0.423.
• 100 products in total from two keywords, where the first keyword runs out after 40 products and the other 60 come from the second: 2 x $0.023 + 100 x $0.004 = $0.446. If the first keyword alone fills all 100 products, the second keyword is never searched, no second start fee is charged, and the cost stays $0.423.

You never pay for more than maxResults items, you are never charged for items that were not delivered, and the run stops by itself if your spending limit is reached.

On the free Apify plan you get 2 free trial runs of this Actor with your own input, up to 10 results each, and nothing is charged; after that, runs return a stored sample dataset (a real result of the prefilled input). Use any paid Apify plan for full runs.

Use cases

• Product research and selection: see what sells in a niche, at what price, with how many ratings and how many bought in the past month.
• Price and promotion monitoring: compare list price against current price, and track deals, coupons and Prime eligibility.
• Best Sellers tracking: pull the top 100 of any category by marketplace, and run it on a schedule to see which products move up or down.
• Market comparison: run the same keyword on amazon.com, amazon.de and amazon.co.jp and compare prices, ratings and badges.
• Competitor and ASIN watch lists: search ASINs to check their current price, rating and Amazon's Choice or Best Seller badges.
• AI and data projects: use clean, flat product records for catalogs, price models and recommendations.

Integrations and API

You can start runs from your own code with the Apify API, schedule runs (for example a daily Best Sellers snapshot), and connect the dataset to Apify integrations and webhooks so new results flow into your other tools. Results can be read from the API as JSON, CSV or Excel.

Example with the Python apify-client package:

from apify_client import ApifyClient

client = ApifyClient("<YOUR_APIFY_TOKEN>")
run = client.actor("clover_folktale/amazon-scraper").call(run_input={
    "mode": "search",
    "keywords": ["wireless earbuds", "laptop stand"],
    "country": "US",
    "sort": "reviews",
    "condition": "new",
    "primeOnly": True,
    "maxResults": 100,
})
for item in client.dataset(run["defaultDatasetId"]).iterate_items():
    print(item)

Tips and limits

• Page sizes. A search page holds about 16 products, a category page about 24, and a Best Sellers page 50. A ranking has two pages, so 100 products. Large runs make many requests; expect roughly 2-5 seconds per page. Different pages of one search do not overlap.
• Fewer results than requested. A listing ends when a page comes back thin or empty, so you may get fewer products than maxResults for narrow searches.
• Searches that find nothing. A search that finds nothing is skipped.
• Stable runs. The Actor retries transient errors on its own, stops cleanly instead of failing half-way, and never charges for items it did not deliver.
• Price parsing. price is read from the price text of the marketplace (for example 239,00 € becomes 239.0). salesVolume is the lower bound of Amazon's rounded text.
• Currency and timing. Prices are in each marketplace's own currency and are what Amazon shows at the time of the run.
• Unknown category IDs. A category ID that Amazon does not know can return unrelated products instead of nothing; check the first results.
• Which fields are often empty: salesVolume and salesVolumeText are empty for products without a recent sales figure; originalPrice is empty when the product is not discounted; subtitle, badge, couponText, unitCount, unitPriceText and bookFormat are empty for most products; price is empty for products Amazon shows only as "see price in cart" or "click to see price"; rankChangeLabel is almost always empty.
• Unreadable entries. If one entry of an ID or link list cannot be read (a typo, a stray cell, a link to the wrong kind of page), it is skipped and named in the log, and the status message says how many were skipped; the other entries still run and nothing is charged for a skipped one. Only a list with no readable entry stops the run with an input error.
• Free plan. On the free Apify plan you get 2 free trial runs of this Actor with your own input, up to 10 results each, and nothing is charged; after that, runs return a stored sample dataset (a real result of the prefilled input). Use any paid Apify plan for full runs.
• Feedback. Missing a field or a filter? Open an issue from the Actor page and it will be looked at.

FAQ

Do I need an Amazon account, API key or cookies?

No. You do not need an Amazon account, API keys, proxies or cookies. You only need an Apify account to run the Actor.

Is it legal to scrape Amazon?

The Actor returns only public listing data: what anyone sees on an Amazon search, category or Best Sellers page. It returns no account data and no buyer data, and no private data such as phone numbers or messages. You are responsible for how you use the data and for following the laws and terms that apply to you.

How fresh is the data?

Each run reads Amazon at the time of the run. Prices, ratings, badges and rankings are what Amazon shows at that moment.

Why are some fields empty?

Amazon does not show every field for every product. For example, originalPrice is only there for discounted products and salesVolume only for products with a recent sales figure. See "Which fields are often empty" in Tips and limits.

How many results can I get?

Up to 5000 products per run, set with maxResults. A Best Sellers ranking holds up to 100 products. Narrow searches can return fewer products.

Does it scrape review text?

No. Each product record has the average rating and the ratingCount, but not the text of individual reviews.

Which marketplaces are supported?

24: US, GB, DE, FR, IT, ES, NL, SE, PL, BE, IE, TR, AE, SA, EG, ZA, IN, JP, SG, AU, CA, MX, BR and CN.

Can I schedule runs and export the data?

Yes. You can schedule runs in Apify, start them through the API, and export every dataset as JSON, CSV or Excel.
