Amazon Best Sellers Tracker: Rank Changes, 21 Marketplaces

What does Amazon Best Sellers Tracker do?

Amazon Best Sellers Tracker scrapes the Amazon Best Sellers and New Releases charts, ranks 1 to 100, in 21 Amazon marketplaces, and tells you what changed since your last run. Every product comes with its rank, movement (new, up, down, dropped off), previous rank, price, price change, rating, review count, image and ASIN.

Amazon's own Movers & Shakers chart is currently empty in every marketplace. Schedule this Actor daily or hourly and it builds your own movers & shakers: which products climbed, which fell, which just entered the top 100 and which left it.

It runs on the Apify platform, so you get an API, scheduling, webhooks, integrations (Google Sheets, Slack, Zapier, Make) and proxies included on paid plans.

Why track Amazon Best Sellers?

• Product research for Amazon sellers and FBA: spot products climbing the charts before they peak, in any department.
• Competitor monitoring: see the day a rival's product enters, jumps or drops out of the top 100.
• New product discovery: New Releases plus a new movement flag shows what just launched and is already selling.
• Price tracking on top sellers: every row carries the price and the change since the last run.
• Cross-border research: compare the same department in the US, UK, Germany, Japan, India, Brazil and 15 more marketplaces.
• Brand and agency reporting: one watchlist per client, with history that never mixes.

How to track Amazon Best Sellers

1. Open the Input tab.
2. Paste one or more chart URLs, for example https://www.amazon.com/Best-Sellers-Electronics/zgbs/electronics, or pick marketplaces, charts and departments.
3. Keep Track rank changes on and give the watchlist a name.
4. Click Start. The first run saves a baseline.
5. Add a schedule (daily is a good start). Every later run shows movement against the previous one.

How much does it cost to track Amazon Best Sellers?

The Actor is pay per result: you pay for each row in the dataset (products on the chart, plus dropped-off rows if you keep them on). The current rate is shown on this Actor's Store page. Proxies are included on paid Apify plans, so there is no proxy bill on top.

To spend less: lower Max rank (the top 20 is often enough), turn on Only output changes for alert schedules, or turn off dropped-off rows.

On the free Apify plan a run tracks up to 2 chart categories. An Apify plan lifts that to hundreds per run.

Tips

• One watchlist per purpose. History is per watchlist name and per category, so a daily schedule and an hourly one should use different names.
• The first run of a watchlist is a baseline. Movement appears from the second run on.
• Hourly is the finest useful schedule. Amazon refreshes Best Sellers about once an hour.
• Department slugs differ. amazon.com uses toys-and-games, amazon.de and amazon.in use toys. A wrong slug is skipped with a "did you mean" hint in the log.
• Use it from an AI agent. Call this Actor through the Apify MCP server or API to answer questions like "what entered the top 100 in kitchen on amazon.de this week?".

FAQ

Is there an Amazon Best Sellers API?

Amazon does not offer a public Best Sellers API. This Actor works as one: call it through the Apify API and get JSON back, or schedule it and read the latest dataset.

Why is Movers & Shakers not an option?

Amazon currently shows "no movers and shakers available" in every marketplace. This Actor computes movement itself from your own run history, which also covers New Releases and any sub-category.

Can I track a single sub-category?

Yes. Paste its chart URL, for example https://www.amazon.com/Best-Sellers-Electronics-Computer-Monitors/zgbs/electronics/1292115011.

Is scraping Amazon Best Sellers legal?

The Actor reads public chart pages that anyone can open without logging in, and collects no personal data. You are responsible for how you use the data; check Amazon's terms and the laws that apply to you.

Some rows have no rating or price. Why?

Brand-new products often have no reviews yet (common in New Releases), and an item out of stock shows no price. The Actor leaves those fields empty rather than guessing.
