Amazon Search Scraper

What does Amazon Search Scraper do?

Amazon Search Scraper extracts public product cards from Amazon keyword search-result pages. Give it keywords, Amazon search URLs, or both. For each card it can see in the HTML, it saves the ASIN, title, canonical product URL, price, rating, sponsored flag, and badges.

It does not open product detail pages, review pages, or carts. It does not solve CAPTCHAs. Product detail and reviews are separate Actors: Amazon Product Data Scraper and Amazon Reviews Scraper.

Why scrape Amazon search results?

Search pages show how Amazon ranks products for a keyword on a given request: which ASINs appear, which slots are sponsored, and which price and rating Amazon printed on the card.

Typical uses:

• checking organic rank for a keyword
• comparing prices and ratings across the first pages of a search
• recording Best Seller, Amazon's Choice, and other badges shown on the card
• separating sponsored cards from organic cards when Amazon labels them
• feeding ASINs into a product or reviews Actor

Runs can be started from the Apify Console, on a schedule, or through the Apify API. The default proxy is Apify residential proxy, because Amazon often blocks datacenter addresses.

What data can Amazon Search Scraper extract?

Each saved item is one product card after duplicate ASINs on that page are removed. Fields that are not visible are null. The Actor does not fill them in from the marketplace or from another card.

Field	Meaning
keyword	Keyword for this search. null when the start URL has no k parameter.
marketplace	amazon.com, amazon.co.uk, amazon.de, or amazon.ca.
searchUrl	Search URL requested for this page.
page	Page number from the URL. Page 1 when the URL has no page parameter.
positionOnPage	1-based position among deduplicated product cards on the page.
overallPosition	Same count continued across pages of this search.
organicRank	Count of organic cards only. null for a sponsored card.
isSponsored	true when the card itself carries a sponsored label.
asin	ASIN from the card.
title	Title on the card.
url	Canonical https://www.{marketplace}/dp/{ASIN} URL.
price, listPrice, currency	Current price and struck-through list price parsed from the card. Currency comes only from that price text.
rating	Star rating printed on the card, from 0 to 5.
reviewCount	Ratings count printed on the card. Amazon's search card does not show a separate written-review total.
imageUrl	Image URL on the card.
isPrime	true when a Prime icon is present on the card, otherwise null. Logged-out Amazon pages usually do not show Prime badges on search cards, so expect mostly null.
badges	Badge labels such as Best Seller or Amazon's Choice. Empty when none are shown.
boughtPastMonthText	Text such as "3K+ bought in past month", kept as shown.
scrapedAt	ISO time when the card was parsed.

positionOnPage counts product cards. It is not Amazon's internal data-index, which also counts non-product widgets.

How to scrape Amazon search results

1. Open the Actor in Apify Console and sign in.
2. Enter one or more keywords, or paste Amazon search URLs. The form prefills wireless earbuds.
3. Choose a marketplace for keyword searches. amazon.com is the default. amazon.co.uk, amazon.de, and amazon.ca use the same parser.
4. Set Max pages per keyword (default 1, maximum 20) and, if you want a cap, Max results.
5. Leave residential proxy enabled unless you have a reason to change it.
6. Run the Actor. Open the dataset to download JSON, CSV, Excel, or HTML. The OUTPUT record in the key-value store has page and item counts.

How much will it cost to scrape Amazon search results?

The Actor uses pay-per-event pricing with one event per saved result:

• event: Search result (result)
• price: $0.0015 per result, which is $1.50 per 1,000 results

A blocked page is retried and is not charged, because nothing is saved from it. There is no separate start fee. Residential proxy traffic is included in the Actor's platform costs, so you are not billed for it separately on top of the result price. Sponsored cards are charged like any other card unless you turn off Include sponsored results. Set a maximum charge on the run to cap spending.

Input

See the Input tab for the form. A keyword run looks like this:

{
  "keywords": ["wireless earbuds"],
  "marketplace": "amazon.com",
  "maxPagesPerKeyword": 1,
  "includeSponsored": true,
  "proxyConfiguration": {
    "useApifyProxy": true,
    "apifyProxyGroups": ["RESIDENTIAL"]
  }
}

You can pass search URLs instead of, or in addition to, keywords:

{
  "startUrls": [
    { "url": "https://www.amazon.co.uk/s?k=wireless+earbuds" }
  ],
  "maxPagesPerKeyword": 2,
  "maxItems": 40
}

maxPagesPerKeyword defaults to 1 and cannot be set above 20 in the form. includeSponsored defaults to true. Keyword searches use marketplace. A start URL keeps the marketplace in its host. Supported hosts are amazon.com, amazon.co.uk, amazon.de, and amazon.ca.

Output

You can download the dataset as JSON, CSV, Excel, or HTML. Two items from a US keyword search would look like this when the page shows those values:

[
  {
    "keyword": "wireless earbuds",
    "marketplace": "amazon.com",
    "searchUrl": "https://www.amazon.com/s?k=wireless+earbuds",
    "page": 1,
    "positionOnPage": 1,
    "overallPosition": 1,
    "organicRank": 1,
    "isSponsored": false,
    "asin": "B0EXAMPLE1",
    "title": "Example Wireless Earbuds",
    "url": "https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0EXAMPLE1",
    "price": 29.99,
    "listPrice": 39.99,
    "currency": "USD",
    "rating": 4.5,
    "reviewCount": 1234,
    "imageUrl": "https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/example.jpg",
    "isPrime": null,
    "badges": ["Amazon's Choice"],
    "boughtPastMonthText": "3K+ bought in past month",
    "scrapedAt": "2026-11-09T17:00:00.000Z"
  }
]

The example values above are a shape sample, not a capture from a live run of this Actor.

The key-value record OUTPUT is written at the end of every run:

• pagesRequested
• pagesSucceeded
• pagesFailed
• blockedCount (blocked, robot-check, and suspicious-empty responses, including retries)
• itemsPushed

If every requested page fails, the run exits with a non-zero status instead of ending as an empty success.

Limitations

• Amazon changes search HTML. Selectors that match today's cards can miss fields after a layout change. Missing fields stay null.
• Amazon blocks automated requests. The Actor retries a blocked, robot-check, or suspiciously empty page up to three times and asks the proxy layer for a new session each time. That is not a guarantee of access. Live test runs on amazon.com with residential proxy returned results on every page requested, but Amazon can change that at any time.
• Only amazon.com has been tested live. amazon.co.uk, amazon.de, and amazon.ca use the same parser and have not been tested against live pages.
• Sponsored labels vary by session and location. A card is marked sponsored only when that card contains a sponsored label. A label elsewhere on the page, such as an influencer carousel, does not mark the main results as sponsored.
• Prices and currency are parsed from the text Amazon printed on the card. A UK or DE host can still display USD. The Actor does not replace that with GBP or EUR.
• isPrime is true only when a Prime icon appears on the card. Amazon does not show Prime badges to logged-out visitors, so it is usually null, which means unknown, not "not Prime".
• The same ASIN later on another page is saved again. Deduplication is per page, and the first block on the page is kept.
• Pagination follows Amazon's next link only. The Actor does not invent page URLs.
• The Actor reads server-rendered HTML. It does not run a browser. Content that exists only after client-side rendering is not scraped.
• Search cards show a ratings count. That number is stored as reviewCount.

FAQ, disclaimers, and support

Our Actors are ethical and do not extract private user data, such as email addresses, gender, or location. They only extract what the page shows publicly on a search result. You should be aware that results could still contain personal data, for example a seller name printed on a card. Personal data is protected by the GDPR in the European Union and by other regulations around the world. You should not scrape personal data unless you have a legitimate reason to do so. If you are unsure whether your reason is legitimate, consult your lawyers.

Amazon's terms restrict automated access. You are responsible for how you use this Actor and for complying with the laws and terms that apply to you.

If a run fails immediately, check that each start URL is an https search URL on a supported host and that at least one keyword or URL was provided. If OUTPUT.blockedCount equals the attempts and itemsPushed is 0, Amazon returned a block page or a robot check. Residential proxy is the setting this Actor expects on Apify.

Local development

Install dependencies with npm install and compile with npm run build. A local run without an Apify token cannot use Apify residential proxy, so a real Amazon request from a developer machine is likely to be blocked. AMAZON_SEARCH_MOCK_HTML can point a local run at a saved HTML file. It is ignored on the Apify platform.
