Amazon Bestsellers Scraper — Rankings, BSR & Trends

Amazon Bestsellers Scraper extracts Amazon's ranking charts — Best Sellers, New Releases, Most Wished For, and Gift Ideas — by category, across 10 marketplaces. Give it a category chart URL (or just pick a chart type and marketplace) and it returns the ranked product list with rank, ASIN, title, price, rating, review count, Prime status, badges, and image — clean, flat JSON built for spreadsheets, dashboards, and AI agents.

It is HTTP-only (fast and cheap), MCP-ready, needs no login, and runs on residential proxies geo-matched to each marketplace so the rankings you get are the rankings a shopper in that country sees.

What is Amazon Bestsellers Scraper?

Amazon's Best Sellers pages (the /gp/bestsellers/ and /zgbs/ charts) are the single best free signal of what is actually selling on Amazon right now — updated hourly, ranked 1 to 100, split into thousands of categories and subcategories. This actor turns those pages into structured data you can analyze.

Unlike a general product scraper, this actor is purpose-built for ranking charts. It understands all four sibling charts that share Amazon's chart layout, auto-detects the chart type and marketplace from any URL you paste, and scrolls + paginates to capture the full top 100 per category.

Charts	Best Sellers · New Releases · Most Wished For · Gift Ideas
Marketplaces	US, UK, DE, FR, IT, ES, CA, JP, IN, AU
Output	Up to 100 ranked products per chart, 18 flat fields each
Price	$0.005 per product + $0.00005 actor start
Tech	Headless browser + residential proxy, MCP-ready
