Track Amazon Best Sellers rankings across any category. For each product the actor collects rank, ASIN, title, price, rating, review count, image URL, and the category it came from.
What it does
The actor opens any Amazon Best Sellers category page with a real Chromium browser (Playwright) behind a US residential proxy. Amazon serves bestseller data client-side via React — a plain HTTP request returns a bot-wall shell with no product data. The browser renders the full page, extracts all product cards in a single page.evaluate() call, and saves the results.
Each category shows up to 50 products per page across two pages (?pg=2). The actor scrapes both pages and stops as soon as maxItems is reached.

You can use any Amazon bestsellers URL — navigate to the category you want on Amazon and paste the URL.
Technical notes
- Browser: Playwright (Chromium) — required because Amazon renders bestseller content client-side
- Proxy: US residential (DataImpulse) — Amazon blocks datacenter IPs
- Memory: 2 GB recommended; minimum 1 GB
- Rate limiting: Concurrency is kept low (2 parallel pages) with 1-second delays to reduce detection risk
- Deduplication: Results are deduplicated by ASIN within a run
Limitations
- Scrapes one category URL per run (v0.1). Run the actor multiple times to collect data across categories.
- Amazon shows at most 100 products per category (50 per page x 2 pages). Set
maxItemsaccordingly. - Prices, ratings, and rankings change frequently — re-run regularly for fresh data.
- Amazon.com (US) only. International domains require a separate configuration.
