What does Amazon Bestsellers Scraper do?

• 🏆 Scrapes any Amazon Best Sellers category — Books, Electronics, Toys, Beauty, you name it
• 💯 Gets the full top 100 for each category (Amazon lazy-loads half of every list — this scraper scrolls and paginates so you don't miss items 31–100)
• 🌍 Works across Amazon marketplaces: amazon.com, .co.uk, .de, .fr, .es, .it, and others
• 🗂 Optionally crawls subcategories to any depth (level 2 covers roughly 550 lists = ~55,000 products)
• 🔁 Automatically detects Amazon captchas and rotates proxy sessions to get past blocking

Input

{
    "categoryUrls": ["https://www.amazon.com/Best-Sellers-Books/zgbs/books/"],
    "maxItemsPerStartUrl": 100,
    "depthOfCrawl": 1,
    "proxyConfiguration": { "useApifyProxy": true }
}

• categoryUrls — one or more Best Sellers category URLs. The URL has to contain Best-Sellers, best-sellers, bestsellers, or zgbs.
• maxItemsPerStartUrl — cap on results per start URL (Amazon shows at most 100 per category).
• depthOfCrawl — 1 scrapes just the categories you entered; 2 also scrapes each direct subcategory; 3 goes one level deeper. Each level multiplies the page count ~10–20×.
• language — force a display language where the marketplace supports it.
• proxyConfiguration — Apify Proxy settings. Amazon blocks many datacenter IPs with captchas; residential proxies are the most reliable choice if your plan includes them.

Tips

• Enter a specific category URL (e.g. .../zgbs/books/) to get its full top 100. The Best Sellers homepage (.../Best-Sellers/zgbs/) only shows short preview carousels — combine it with depthOfCrawl: 2 to fan out into every department instead.
• Prices are shown in the currency Amazon serves to the proxy's location — use proxies from the marketplace's country for local prices.

FAQ

Is it legal to scrape Amazon Best Sellers? The scraper only collects publicly available product listings (no personal data). Still, make sure your use complies with applicable laws and Amazon's terms in your jurisdiction.

Why do I get fewer than 100 items? Some categories simply list fewer products; unavailable items are skipped. If runs end early with captcha errors, switch the proxy configuration to residential proxies.
