Amazon Category & Search Scraper

Scrape Amazon search results, category/browse-node pages, seller storefronts, direct product URLs, and ASIN lookups in one actor. Extract prices, ratings, reviews, badges, deals, delivery info, and (optionally) full product-detail-page data — across 20+ Amazon marketplaces. No login, cookies, or API key required.

What this actor does

• 6 input modes, combinable in a single run: plain search keywords, ASINs, direct product URLs, seller/merchant storefront IDs, browse-node (category) IDs, or full category/search URLs.
• Server-side + client-side filters: sort order, price range, minimum rating, sponsored/ deals/Prime toggles.
• Optional full product-detail enrichment: turn on scrapeProductDetails to also visit each product's own page for description, features, seller info, bestseller ranks, and variants.
• Rich search-card metadata: badges (Best Seller, Amazon's Choice, Limited Time Deal), "bought in past month", coupons, delivery estimates, sponsored/organic classification, and result position — across up to 50 pages per category/search, deduplicated by ASIN.
• Empty fields are omitted — a field only appears on a record when Amazon actually displayed that information for that product.

Input

At least one of categoryUrls, productUrls, keywords, asins, sellerIds, or categoryNodeIds is required. All six modes are additive — combine several in one run and every URL they produce is scraped.

Field	Type	Default	Description
categoryUrls	array	–	Amazon category/search result URLs, used as-is (e.g. amazon.com/s?k=laptops, amazon.com/b?node=123). A direct product URL pasted here also works.
productUrls	array	–	Direct Amazon product page URLs (e.g. amazon.com/dp/B08N5WRWNW) — always fetches the exact product, no search approximation
keywords	array	–	Plain search keywords/phrases — each builds a search URL automatically
asins	array	–	Amazon ASINs to look up (searched, then the matching result card is scraped). For a guaranteed exact match, use productUrls instead.
sellerIds	array	–	Seller/merchant IDs — each builds that seller's storefront search
categoryNodeIds	array	–	Amazon browse-node IDs — each builds a category landing-page URL
marketplaceDomain	string	amazon.com	Amazon domain used to build URLs for the keywords/ASINs/sellerIds/categoryNodeIds modes (ignored for categoryUrls/productUrls, used as-is)
maxItemsPerCategory	integer	10	Maximum products to return per URL (1-1000)
maxPages	integer	1	Maximum pages to paginate through per URL (1-50)
scrapeProductDetails	boolean	true	If true, also visits each product's own page for full detail-page fields. If false, returns only what's visible on the search/category card (much faster)
sortBy	select	relevanceblender	Sort order: Featured/Relevance, Price Low-to-High, Price High-to-Low, Avg. Customer Review, Newest Arrivals, Best Sellers
priceMin	number	–	Only return products priced at or above this amount
priceMax	number	–	Only return products priced at or below this amount
minRating	number	–	Only return products with a star rating at or above this value (0-5)
includeSponsored	boolean	true	If false, sponsored/ad results are excluded
onlyDeals	boolean	false	If true, only return products with a visible coupon, "Limited Time Deal" badge, or list/strike-through price
primeOnly	boolean	false	If true, only return products with a visible Amazon Prime badge
proxyCountry	select	AUTO	Proxy country for geo-targeting; AUTO picks a country based on the Amazon domain
useResidentialProxy	boolean	false	Start every session on residential proxies instead of datacenter proxies. Default (false) uses datacenter and escalates to residential automatically only after repeated blocks
rateLimitDelay	integer	2	Base delay in seconds between requests (1-30)

FAQ

Do I need to provide Amazon login cookies or an API key? No. This actor scrapes public search/category/storefront pages and product pages directly — no account, cookies, or API key required.

What's the fastest way to get a lot of products quickly? Set scrapeProductDetails to false. This skips visiting each individual product page and only returns the fields already visible on the search/category card — much faster and cheaper for large maxItemsPerCategory values.

Can I combine a keyword search with a price/rating filter? Yes — priceMin/priceMax/minRating/primeOnly/onlyDeals/includeSponsored all apply uniformly regardless of whether you used keywords, asins, sellerIds, categoryNodeIds, or categoryUrls.

Why are some fields missing from a record instead of showing null? Only fields that were actually found on the page are included. A missing field means Amazon didn't display that information for that specific product (e.g. no visible price, no rating yet, no Prime badge) — the actor never fabricates a placeholder value.

Why did I get 0 results for some searches? Very restrictive filter combinations (e.g. a tight price range plus a high minimum rating) can legitimately return 0 matching products. Also, some ASIN lookups may not have an exact Amazon search match, in which case Amazon's own search may return related — sometimes unrelated-looking — products instead. If you need a guaranteed exact match for a known product, use productUrls instead of asins.

Do the price/rating/Prime/sponsored/deal filters apply to productUrls? No. Those filters only make sense when choosing among multiple search/category results. productUrls fetches one specific product you already identified by URL, so it's always returned when the fetch succeeds, regardless of filter settings.

Does this actor need a proxy? A proxy is used automatically (datacenter by default) to reduce blocking; you don't need to configure or pay for your own. useResidentialProxy is available for higher reliability on harder-to-scrape marketplaces, at a higher cost.

How many pages/products can I scrape per source? Up to maxPages (max 50) pages and maxItemsPerCategory (max 1000) products per category/search/seller/node URL, with automatic deduplication by ASIN across pages.

Is this affiliated with Amazon? No, this is an independent third-party actor that scrapes Amazon's public search, category, and storefront pages.
