Unofficial community Actor. Not affiliated with, sponsored by, or endorsed by Amazon. The Actor collects information displayed on public Amazon Best Sellers pages without logging in.

What this Actor does

You provide one or more:

• Amazon Best Sellers department names;
• Amazon Best Sellers category/list URLs;
• or a combination of both.

For every resolved list, the Actor renders the public Best Sellers pages using a browser and a residential proxy associated with the selected marketplace country.

It scrolls the page so lazy-loaded product cards can appear and reads both pages of the Best Sellers list when needed.

A successful full-list run can return up to:

100 products per Best Sellers list

in rank order.

Who it's for

Amazon FBA and marketplace research

Use ranked Best Sellers lists to research products already appearing near the top of Amazon categories.

Useful fields include:

• rank;
• ASIN;
• title;
• price;
• rating;
• review count.

These fields can support product and category research, but Best Sellers rank should not be treated as an exact unit-sales figure.

E-commerce analysts

Build structured datasets from Amazon Best Sellers categories for:

• category analysis;
• product comparisons;
• rank snapshots;
• price analysis;
• rating/review analysis.

Brand and competitor research

Track which products occupy high positions in selected Best Sellers lists.

Schedule repeated runs and compare outputs downstream to analyze rank movement over time.

Dashboard and data teams

Send ranked product datasets into:

• Google Sheets;
• databases;
• BI dashboards;
• internal applications;
• reporting pipelines;
• APIs and webhooks.

---

Important: rank data vs. sales volume

This Actor extracts Amazon Best Sellers list positions.

It does not provide:

• exact units sold;
• exact revenue;
• historical sales volume;
• proprietary Amazon sales estimates.

Rank is a useful public market signal, but it should not be presented as exact sales volume.

For historical movement, schedule recurring runs and compare rankPosition values across datasets in your own workflow.

Supported marketplaces

Marketplace	Domain	Currency
US	amazon.com	USD
UK	amazon.co.uk	GBP

This version supports only the US and UK marketplaces.

---

Input

Provide at least one:

categories

entry or one:

categoryUrls

entry.

Input fields

Field	Type	Default	Required	Example
marketplace	select (US, UK)	US	optional	"UK"
categories	array of strings	[]	one of the two	["Electronics", "Video Games"]
categoryUrls	array of URLs	[]	one of the two	["https://www.amazon.com/Best-Sellers-Electronics-Headphones/zgbs/electronics/172541"]
maxItemsPerList	integer	100	optional	50

maxItemsPerList cannot exceed:

100

because the supported Amazon Best Sellers list structure contains up to 100 ranked products, typically split across two pages.

---

Example: top-level departments

{
  "marketplace": "US",
  "categories": [
    "Electronics",
    "Video Games"
  ],
  "maxItemsPerList": 100
}

---

Example: UK marketplace

{
  "marketplace": "UK",
  "categories": [
    "Electronics"
  ],
  "maxItemsPerList": 100
}

---

Example: deep subcategory

Use categoryUrls when the desired list is nested below a top-level Best Sellers department.

{
  "marketplace": "US",
  "categoryUrls": [
    "https://www.amazon.com/Best-Sellers-Electronics-Headphones/zgbs/electronics/172541"
  ],
  "maxItemsPerList": 100
}

---

How category resolution works

Top-level department names

Entries in:

categories

are matched case-insensitively and partially against the marketplace's Best Sellers department sidebar.

Examples:

Electronics
Video Games

Node IDs are also supported.

Marketplace naming can differ.

For example, a department named:

Video Games

in one marketplace may resolve to a marketplace-specific label such as:

PC & Video Games

in another.

Deep subcategories

Nested Best Sellers lists are not necessarily available in the top-level department sidebar.

For lists such as:

Headphones

inside a broader department such as:

Electronics

pass the public Best Sellers list URL through:

categoryUrls

Unresolved category names

A category name that cannot be resolved is reported in:

STATS.unresolvedCategories

The run can continue with other valid categories or URLs.

---

Output

The Actor writes one dataset record per ranked product.

Products are written in rank order.

Missing values are returned as:

null

instead of being estimated or invented.

---

What the output is good for

The dataset is suitable for:

Ranked product lists

Sort and analyze products by:

rankPosition

ASIN research

Use:

asin

to connect Best Sellers records to other Amazon data workflows.

Price analysis

Use:

priceCurrent
currency

when those values are displayed on the list.

Rating and review analysis

Use:

rating
reviewCount

to compare visible customer-feedback signals across ranked products.

Scheduled rank monitoring

Run the same categories repeatedly and compare:

rankPosition

across timestamps.

The Actor returns current snapshots; historical tracking is created by retaining and comparing results across runs.

---

Reliability

Amazon uses aggressive anti-bot protections and can intermittently return pages without the expected product grid.

The Actor includes safeguards intended to make these failures visible rather than silently returning an empty successful dataset.

Fresh-session retry

When a Best Sellers page returns without the expected product grid, the Actor automatically retries using a fresh proxy session.

Browser rendering

The Actor renders the public list using a real browser environment.

Lazy-load scrolling

Each page is scrolled so product cards that load progressively can appear.

Pagination

The Actor reads both pages of the supported Best Sellers list when required to retrieve up to the full top 100.

---

Run-level health guards

The Actor has explicit run-level checks.

Empty result protection

A run that would finish with zero product records fails with:

EMPTY_RESULTS

instead of reporting an unexplained successful empty dataset.

Dead-field protection

Important output fields are monitored for excessive missing values.

Watched fields include:

priceCurrent
url
reviewCount
rating

If one of these key fields returns null on more than 50% of collected items, the run fails explicitly with:

DEAD_FIELDS

and identifies the affected field.

This is intended to make structural extraction failures visible.

---

Scheduling and rank monitoring

Use Apify Schedules when you want recurring Best Sellers snapshots.

Example use cases:

• daily category rank snapshots;
• weekly product-position tracking;
• recurring FBA research;
• category dashboards;
• competitor-position monitoring.

Recommended setup

1. Save your category input as an Apify Task.
2. Go to Console → Schedules → Create schedule.
3. Add the Task.
4. Choose a daily or weekly cadence.
5. Store or route each dataset into your analysis workflow.

Example daily cron:

0 6 * * *

Your computer does not need to remain on because Apify executes the scheduled run in the cloud.

---

Example rank-monitoring workflow

Suppose you monitor:

Electronics

daily.

Each dataset contains current values such as:

ASIN A → rank 4
ASIN B → rank 11
ASIN C → rank 27

On a later run:

ASIN A → rank 2
ASIN B → rank 18
ASIN C → rank 20

By storing both run outputs, your downstream system can calculate:

• products moving up;
• products moving down;
• new products entering the list;
• products leaving the captured list.

The Actor itself returns the current ranked snapshot; it does not claim built-in historical rank storage.

---

Pricing

This Actor uses Pay Per Event pricing.

The pricing described for the current Actor configuration is:

$3 per 1,000 product records

which means a full 100-product list costs approximately:

$0.30

before any applicable run-start fee.

You pay for product records written to the dataset rather than browser time or retry attempts.

The Pricing tab on the Actor page is always the authoritative source for current rates.

Cost control

Use:

maxItemsPerList

to reduce the number of product records written per list.

Example:

{
  "maxItemsPerList": 25
}

---

Known limitations

Top 100 maximum per list

The supported Amazon Best Sellers list structure contains up to 100 ranked products.

maxItemsPerList cannot exceed:

100

Deep subcategories require URLs

Top-level departments can be resolved by name.

Nested Best Sellers lists need to be supplied through:

categoryUrls

US and UK only

This version supports:

US
UK

Other marketplaces are not currently available in this Actor version.

List-page data only

The Actor extracts fields displayed on the Best Sellers list.

It does not currently provide product-page-only information such as:

• complete product specifications;
• seller details;
• product-page availability;
• full product descriptions;
• historical BSR;
• exact sales volume.

Use a separate product-details Actor when deeper product-page data is required.

Intermittent Amazon blocking

Amazon can intermittently return empty or blocked responses.

The Actor retries certain empty-list conditions with a fresh session, but no scraper can guarantee that every Amazon request will succeed.

Missing values remain null

When Amazon does not show a price, rating, review count, or another supported value on the list card, the Actor returns:

null

instead of estimating it.
