## What's an Apify Actor?

Actors are a software tools running on the Apify platform, for all kinds of web data extraction and automation use cases.
In Batch mode, an Actor accepts a well-defined JSON input, performs an action which can take anything from a few seconds to a few hours,
and optionally produces a well-defined JSON output, datasets with results, or files in key-value store.
In Standby mode, an Actor provides a web server which can be used as a website, API, or an MCP server.
Actors are written with capital "A".

## How to integrate an Actor?

If asked about integration, you help developers integrate Actors into their projects.
You adapt to their stack and deliver integrations that are safe, well-documented, and production-ready.
The best way to integrate Actors is as follows.

In JavaScript/TypeScript projects, use official [JavaScript/TypeScript client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md):

```bash
npm install apify-client
```

In Python projects, use official [Python client library](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md):

```bash
pip install apify-client
```

In shell scripts, use [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md):

````bash
# MacOS / Linux
curl -fsSL https://apify.com/install-cli.sh | bash
# Windows
irm https://apify.com/install-cli.ps1 | iex
```bash

In AI frameworks, you might use the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/integrations/mcp.md).

If your project is in a different language, use the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md).

For usage examples, see the [API](#api) section below.

## Amazon Products & Search Scraper

Export public Amazon search results into structured data for assortment research, price monitoring, sponsored-placement analysis, and product discovery. Search ten Amazon marketplaces and receive product rank, ASIN, title, price, rating, reviews, Prime status, image, and source provenance.

### Example input

```json
{
  "queries": ["wireless headphones"],
  "marketplace": "US",
  "sort": "relevance",
  "maxItems": 20,
  "enrichDetails": false
}
````

### Example output

```json
{
  "rank": 1,
  "sponsored": true,
  "asin": "B0EXAMPLE",
  "productTitle": "Wireless noise-cancelling headphones",
  "brand": "Example Brand",
  "price": 79.99,
  "priceDisplay": "$79.99",
  "currency": "$",
  "prime": true,
  "rating": 4.5,
  "reviewCount": 1234,
  "imageUrls": ["https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/example.jpg"],
  "sourceType": "search",
  "sourceQuery": "wireless headphones",
  "marketplace": "US",
  "url": "https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0EXAMPLE",
  "scrapedAt": "2026-07-10T12:00:00.000Z",
  "diagnostics": { "detailEnriched": true, "pageNumber": 1 }
}
```

### What data can I export?

Each dataset row represents one Amazon product listing:

- **Search provenance:** organic rank, sponsored status, source query, and marketplace.
- **Product identity:** ASIN, parent and variant ASINs, title, brand, categories, URL, and image URLs.
- **Commercial signals:** numeric/display/list price, currency, deal, savings, Prime, shipping, availability, seller, and Buy Box seller.
- **Social proof:** numeric rating and review count.
- **Provenance:** source type/query, marketplace, page number, enrichment status, and scrape timestamp.

### Who is it for?

This Actor is designed for ecommerce analysts, marketplace sellers, brand-protection teams, pricing researchers, retail agencies, and developers building product intelligence workflows.

### Use cases

- Compare product assortment across Amazon marketplaces.
- Monitor visible prices and Prime placement for selected searches.
- Measure sponsored versus organic placement.
- Build product research and category-analysis datasets.
- Feed structured Amazon listings into spreadsheets, databases, agents, or BI tools.

### Verified public example tasks

These Apify Store tasks use small, QA-verified inputs and can be opened or cloned directly:

- [Enrich Amazon Product Search Results](https://apify.com/fetch_cat/amazon-products-search-scraper/tasks/enrich-amazon-product-search-results) — verified run `6S71PHVBgdtnLxpCj` produced 5 dataset items.
- [Find Lowest Price Usb C Chargers](https://apify.com/fetch_cat/amazon-products-search-scraper/tasks/find-lowest-price-usb-c-chargers) — verified run `ptSxQtqxjqbzdau4R` produced 10 dataset items.
- [Research Top Reviewed Coffee Grinders](https://apify.com/fetch_cat/amazon-products-search-scraper/tasks/research-top-reviewed-coffee-grinders) — verified run `BrewwM2UIWfcYJJAv` produced 10 dataset items.
- [Search Amazon Uk Products](https://apify.com/fetch_cat/amazon-products-search-scraper/tasks/search-amazon-uk-products) — verified run `6xPlzxoEb1AmDDX11` produced 10 dataset items.
- [Search Amazon Wireless Headphones](https://apify.com/fetch_cat/amazon-products-search-scraper/tasks/search-amazon-wireless-headphones) — verified run `Dq5a3KRb4QAQomi5H` produced 10 dataset items.

### Input recipes

**US product research**

```json
{ "queries": ["standing desk"], "marketplace": "US", "maxItems": 20 }
```

**UK brand monitoring**

```json
{ "queries": ["Sony headphones"], "marketplace": "UK", "maxItems": 10, "enrichDetails": true }
```

### Pricing

The Actor uses pay-per-event pricing:

- **Start:** $0.005 per run on every plan.
- **Product row:** Free $0.00115; Bronze $0.001; Silver $0.00078; Gold $0.0006; Platinum $0.0004; Diamond $0.00028.
- **Detail enrichment:** Free $0.0046; Bronze $0.004; Silver $0.00312; Gold $0.0024; Platinum $0.0016; Diamond $0.00112 per product page visited when enrichment is enabled or an ASIN/product URL is supplied.

You are charged only for product rows saved to the dataset and detail pages successfully enriched. Current pricing is always visible in the Apify Console before a run starts.

### Tips

- Begin with 10 products to validate the fields for your workflow.
- Use a specific brand or model when you need focused results.
- Keep the marketplace consistent when comparing ranking over time.
- Export JSON for automation or CSV/XLSX for spreadsheet analysis.

### Legality, limits, and responsible use

Amazon can vary visible products, prices, delivery promises, and rankings by time and location. Treat the output as a point-in-time observation. The Actor collects public product search information and does not require an Amazon account. Scrape only data you have a lawful purpose to use, respect applicable privacy and database laws, and comply with Amazon's terms.

### API usage

```bash
curl -X POST "https://api.apify.com/v2/acts/fetch_cat~amazon-products-search-scraper/runs?token=$APIFY_TOKEN" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"queries":["wireless headphones"],"marketplace":"US","maxItems":10}'
```

**Node.js**

```javascript
import { ApifyClient } from 'apify-client';
const client = new ApifyClient({ token: process.env.APIFY_TOKEN });
const run = await client.actor('fetch_cat/amazon-products-search-scraper').call({
  queries: ['wireless headphones'], marketplace: 'US', maxItems: 10,
});
const { items } = await client.dataset(run.defaultDatasetId).listItems();
console.log(items);
```

**Python**

```python
from apify_client import ApifyClient
import os
client = ApifyClient(os.environ['APIFY_TOKEN'])
run = client.actor('fetch_cat/amazon-products-search-scraper').call(
    run_input={'queries': ['wireless headphones'], 'marketplace': 'US', 'maxItems': 10}
)
items = client.dataset(run['defaultDatasetId']).list_items().items
print(items)
```

The run response includes a dataset ID. Download rows through the dataset API after the run succeeds.

### MCP and agents

Connect through Apify MCP at `https://mcp.apify.com/?tools=fetch_cat/amazon-products-search-scraper` and ask an agent to research products for a marketplace and query.

**Example prompts:**

- “Search Amazon US for `wireless headphones`, return 10 products, and include sponsored placement and price.”
- “Compare the first 20 Amazon UK results for `standing desk` with detail enrichment enabled.”

```bash
claude mcp add apify-amazon -- npx -y @apify/actors-mcp-server --actors fetch_cat/amazon-products-search-scraper
```

Example MCP client configuration:

```json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "apify-amazon": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@apify/actors-mcp-server", "--actors", "fetch_cat/amazon-products-search-scraper"],
      "env": { "APIFY_TOKEN": "YOUR_APIFY_TOKEN" }
    }
  }
}
```

### FAQ

#### Does it require an Amazon login?

No. It collects publicly visible search listings.

#### Why can results change between runs?

Amazon rankings and sponsored placements are dynamic and may vary by marketplace, time, inventory, and delivery location.

#### What happens when Amazon returns a challenge page?

The run fails with a clear error instead of reporting a misleading successful zero-item dataset.

### Support

If a run fails or a field is missing, open an issue on the Actor page. Include the run ID, your input JSON, expected output, actual output, and a reproducible public URL from Amazon. Do not include passwords, cookies, or other private credentials.

# Actor input Schema

## `queries` (type: `array`):

Product names, brands, keywords, or models to search for.

## `startUrls` (type: `array`):

Amazon search pages or public product detail URLs. These can be combined with queries and ASINs.

## `asins` (type: `array`):

Ten-character Amazon Standard Identification Numbers for direct product extraction.

## `marketplace` (type: `string`):

Amazon marketplace used for queries and ASINs.

## `sort` (type: `string`):

Sort order applied to generated query searches.

## `maxItems` (type: `integer`):

Maximum unique product rows saved across all queries, URLs, and ASINs.

## `enrichDetails` (type: `boolean`):

Visit product pages to add brand, category, list price, savings, availability, seller, variants, and more images. This is slower and uses more proxy bandwidth.
