Amazon Best Sellers Scraper - Rank Tracker & Movers

Amazon's own Movers & Shakers list is often empty ("no Movers & Shakers available in this category"). This Actor gives you the same signal for any category: it reads the Best Sellers or New Releases list and, run after run, tells you each product's previous rank, rank change, which products are new in the list and which dropped out.

Works on 20 Amazon marketplaces: US, Canada, Mexico, Brazil, UK, Germany, France, Italy, Spain, Netherlands, Sweden, Poland, Turkey, UAE, Saudi Arabia, India, Japan, Australia, Singapore and Egypt.

What you get for each product

Who uses it

• Amazon sellers and product researchers: spot products climbing a category before everyone else.
• Brands and agencies: watch your products and competitors in the top 100 every day.
• Analysts: build a daily rank history for any category and marketplace.

How to use it

1. Paste one or more Best Sellers / New Releases URLs (any category or subcategory), or pick a marketplace and type category paths.
2. Choose top 50 or top 100.
3. Schedule it (daily or hourly). Rank changes are computed against the previous run, saved in a key-value store in your own account. Use a different History store name to keep separate histories.

Prices and currency follow the visitor's country, so by default the Actor uses a residential proxy in each marketplace's country.

Pricing

Pay per result: one charge per product row. Rows for products that dropped out are free. Set a maximum cost per run and the Actor stops cleanly when it is reached.

Notes

• Reads only Amazon's public list pages, without logging in. No personal data is collected.
• Ranks are Amazon's, updated by Amazon about every hour.

Schedule it, use the API or connect it to your tools

• Schedule daily or weekly runs in Apify to track rank changes, new entries and drop-outs every day.
• Call it from your code with the Apify API (Python, JavaScript or plain HTTP) and get the results as JSON, CSV or Excel.
• Send results to Google Sheets, Slack, Zapier, Make or a webhook with Apify integrations.

Troubleshooting

• No rank changes in the first run: changes need a previous run to compare with. Run it again (or schedule it) with the same history store.
• A category URL returns nothing: use a Best Sellers or New Releases list URL (/gp/bestsellers/... or /gp/new-releases/...).
