Pricing

Pay per product saved. Start fees, proxies and compute are included. A full Top 100 list costs a few cents; errors cost nothing.

Tips

• Amazon shows at most 100 products per list, so maxItemsPerList above 100 is not possible.
• Movers & Shakers, Most Wished For and Gift Ideas are supported, but Amazon currently shows them empty on most marketplaces. When a list is empty the actor records an empty-list row (not charged) and moves on.
• Small subcategories can have fewer than 100 products.
• Prices are shown in the marketplace's local currency.
• With subcategory crawling use Max lists as a safety cap: Books alone has thousands of subcategories at depth 3.

FAQ

Is scraping Amazon best seller lists legal? The lists are public pages that anyone can see without logging in. This actor reads only public data and no personal data. Check the terms that apply to your use case.

Do I need an Amazon account or API key? No.
