Amazon Deals Grid Tracker by Category & Discount

Turn Amazon's Today's Deals grid into a clean dataset of discounted products — ASIN, title, images, local-currency deal and list price, discount, rating and review histogram, deal window, collection, brand and category. Filter by department, discount, price, collection and Prime status across 23 marketplaces. No login, cookies or proxy setup.

What this actor does

• 23 Amazon marketplaces — amazon.com, .co.uk, .de, .fr, .it, .es, .ca, .com.au, .co.jp, .in, .com.br, .com.mx, .nl, .se, .pl, .com.tr, .ae, .sa, .sg, .eg, .ie, .com.be, .co.za. 20 of 23 answered during testing; amazon.com.br, amazon.com.tr and amazon.co.za returned 503 and remain best-effort.
• Amazon-applied filters — department/category, discount range, price range and Prime Exclusive deals are filtered by Amazon before the rows are read.
• Deal collections — Lightning Deals, Coupons, Outlet, Customers' Most-Loved, New Arrivals, Trending, Prime Exclusive, Refurbished, Premium Brands and Amazon Brands.
• Ratings and reviews summary — average rating, ratings count and the full 5→1 star histogram, from Amazon's own product summary.
• Deal urgency — deal start and end time, badge text, deal state, promotion type and percent claimed (when Amazon exposes it, especially on Lightning Deals).
• Local prices — prices are returned in the marketplace's local currency. When Amazon only serves a converted display price in another currency, the price is omitted instead of being mislabelled.
• Multi-category runs — add several categories to move past Amazon's 500-deal window for a single query.
• Empty fields are omitted — never null, never a fabricated zero.

• variationDimensions — size/colour/variant options when present
• isPinned, position, recordType: "deal", scrapedAt

When no deals are emitted

If a run ends with zero deal rows, it pushes exactly one recordType: "status" row so an empty dataset is never ambiguous:

• success: false — the grid could not be reached (BLOCKED), the widget was missing (WIDGET_NOT_FOUND), the grid was empty (NO_ENTRIES), or the requested collection is not shown on this marketplace today (COLLECTION_NOT_FOUND)
• success: true, reason: "NO_MATCHES" — the grid was read successfully but every deal was filtered out

Every status row also carries marketplace, message and scrapedAt.

FAQ

Does this require an Amazon account or cookies? No. The Deals grid and its product summaries are public. The actor works cookielessly, and no proxy setup is required.

How many deals can I get? Amazon exposes up to 500 deals per category/collection query. Add more categories to partition that window; maxItems can go up to 2,000 across categories. A single query stops honestly when Amazon's window is exhausted. Amazon can also reshuffle the grid between pages, so after de-duplication one window may return fewer than 500 unique deals.

Why do some rows have no dealPrice or discount? Amazon genuinely omits price and discount data for a subset of deals (for example, some coupon-only promotions), and it omits a local price when only a converted display price is available. The actor never guesses, converts or fills a zero. Price and discount filters exclude rows that cannot be verified.

How does minRating work now? Ratings come from Amazon's own product summary, so minRating filters real values. If a product has no rating, it is excluded when minRating is set.

Why is percentClaimed missing on many rows? Amazon exposes claim progress mainly for limited/urgent offers such as Lightning Deals. It is populated when present and omitted otherwise.

Why don't I see shipping, seller, stock, Best Sellers Rank or review text? Those fields are not part of the Deals grid or its product-summary data. This actor stays focused on deals; use a product-details or reviews actor for those fields.

Why is the currency different from what I see on Amazon? Amazon can show a converted price based on the visitor's location. This actor reports the marketplace's local price (for example, GBP on amazon.co.uk) so rows from different marketplaces stay comparable.

Why does a collection sometimes return a COLLECTION_NOT_FOUND status? Amazon's collections differ by marketplace and change seasonally. The actor reports the missing collection plainly instead of silently returning unfiltered deals.

Why can sortBy take longer? Amazon has no server-side sort for the Deals grid. To return the cheapest or highest-rated deals, the actor reads the available window first, then sorts it.

Why does sourceUrl return 503 in a plain script? Amazon blocks bare non-browser requests on product pages. The URL is the canonical product page and opens normally in a browser.

Is this affiliated with Amazon? No. This is an independent third-party actor that reads Amazon's public Deals pages.

How fresh is the data? As fresh as the live Deals grid at run time. Deals rotate throughout the day, so schedule the actor as often as your use case needs.
