Amazon Product Scraper

This changelog summarizes all changes of the Amazon Actors provided by the Junglee organization. The specific actors that are affected are listed for each change.

2023-11-18

Features ('amazon-reviews')

• Updated filterByRating to filterByRating*s* - now works as a multi-select field (e.g. ["fiveStar", "fourStar"])
  • The original filterByRating field still works the same way. You can still access it through the JSON input editor.

Reverted ('amazon-product')

• Removed detailedInformation input field. Shouldn't affect any existing tasks. It was just removing these fields:
  • attributes, productOverview, and manufacturerAttributes
• Added the useCaptchaSolver input field back. We've noticed some slight errors with it, you can turn it off if you experience any issues.
  • Amazon hides a few certain product fields, if the page loads after solving a captcha. Currently known and affected fields are:
    • attributes, manufacturerAttributes, and bestsellerRanks

2023-11-09

Features ('amazon-product', 'amazon-sellers', 'amazon-bestsellers')

• Added maxItemsPerStartUrl input field to limit the number of items to be scraped per each start URL
  • The original maxItems field still works the same way. You can still access it through the JSON input editor.

('amazon-reviews')

• Added product.price & product.listPrice output fields to reviews
  • Note: these fields are tied to the review's product, not the review. We can add more product fields to the output but we don't want to bloat it with too many fields. If you need more product fields, please open an issue about it ;)

('amazon-product')

• Added force country codes feature - you can select the country codes only for which you want to scrape the product. The Actor will retry with a different proxy if a page is loaded with the wrong country code.
  • Note: this feature is experimental and is only available through the JSON input editor under the forceCountryCodes field (string[]).
