💸 Pricing

This Actor runs on Apify's pay-as-you-go platform. You only pay for what you use, and every new Apify account includes free monthly usage credits - enough to test this scraper and pull your first batches of data at no cost.

• 🆓 Free tier: Start scraping immediately with your monthly Apify free credits - no credit card required.
• ⚡ Scale up when ready: Need full-category runs, daily refreshes, or large exports? Upgrade your Apify plan and the same Actor scales with you.

❓ FAQ

Is scraping Amazon legal? Scraping publicly available data is generally legal. This Actor only collects public product listings - no personal data and nothing behind a login. You are responsible for complying with Amazon's Terms of Service and applicable laws in your jurisdiction. Use the data responsibly.

Why are some prices null? Amazon doesn't show a price on every ranking card (e.g. some "Movers & Shakers" entries). When a price isn't present on the list page, the field is returned as null rather than guessed.

Which Amazon marketplaces are supported? Any Amazon domain - just set amazonDomain (e.g. https://www.amazon.com, https://www.amazon.de).

My run returned few results or got blocked. Amazon blocks data-center traffic aggressively. Enable Residential proxies in proxyConfiguration for large or frequent runs.

Can I get more data per product (reviews, full specs)? This Actor focuses on ranking-list data. Pair it with a dedicated Amazon Product Detail Scraper to enrich each productLink.
