Amazon Scraper (.in & .com) - Products, Prices & Reviews

A production-grade Apify Actor for scraping Amazon India (amazon.in) and Amazon US (amazon.com) product data. It accepts search keywords, ASIN lists, category URLs, and product URLs, then returns structured product records with prices, ratings, seller data, stock status, images, specifications, badges, Best Seller Rank, and optional recent reviews.

The Actor is designed for Apify Store publication with pay-per-event pricing: $0.002 per successfully scraped product.

asin	string	10-character Amazon Standard Identification Number
title	string	Full product title
url	string	Canonical product page URL
domain	string	amazon.com or amazon.in
keyword	string	Search keyword that found the product, empty for ASIN/category input

When trackPriceHistory is enabled, the Actor also saves a _type: "price-snapshot" row for each scraped product.

Use Cases

1. Competitive price monitoring across Amazon US and India.
2. Review aggregation for product research, sentiment analysis, and complaint mining.
3. Catalog enrichment from ASIN lists.
4. Niche and category research using category or search URLs.
5. Stock, discount, rating, and seller tracking for ecommerce analytics.

Pricing

Event	Price
product-scraped	$0.002 per successfully saved product record

Examples:

• 1,000 products = $2.00
• 10,000 products = $20.00
• 100,000 products = $200.00

Price snapshot rows are written for analytics, but the explicit charge event is tied to product records.

How It Works

1. Validates input and chooses the mode: ASIN, category/product URL, or keyword.
2. Infers the Amazon marketplace from URL input and rejects mismatched marketplace settings.
3. Starts a Playwright crawler with Apify proxy configuration, session pool, retries, and conservative pacing.
4. Collects search result ASINs up to the requested per-query cap.
5. Visits product detail pages and extracts structured product data.
6. Optionally visits review pages and appends recent reviews.
7. Saves product records using the product-scraped pay-per-event charge.
8. Optionally saves price snapshot rows for historical tracking.

Anti-Bot Handling

• Apify proxy support, with residential proxies recommended.
• Crawlee session pool with bounded session usage.
• CAPTCHA detection with request retry/session rotation.
• Conservative navigation and scroll delays.
• Multiple fallback selectors for Amazon layout drift.
• Per-query product caps to avoid over-collecting beyond user input.

Local Development

npm install
npm run build
npm start

For local Apify simulation:

$apify run

For deployment:

$apify push

Limits

• Amazon may still return CAPTCHA pages, even with residential proxies.
• Reviews are best-effort because review pages are more aggressively throttled.
• Sponsored and organic result cards are both considered product result cards.
• The Actor currently supports amazon.com and amazon.in.

Suggested Next Updates

1. Add more marketplaces such as amazon.co.uk, amazon.de, and amazon.ca.
2. Add variant extraction for color, size, and style options.
3. Add buy box and offer-listing extraction.
4. Add customer Q&A extraction.
5. Add JSON-LD fallback extraction for pages where DOM selectors drift.
