Amazon Best Sellers Scraper — Top 100 by Category

Amazon Best Sellers Scraper scrapes the ranked top 100 of any Amazon Best Sellers or New Releases list by category name or list URL on 21 marketplaces and returns rank, ASIN, title, price, star rating, ratings count, image and category as JSON — one row per ranked product, with an option to read every subcategory in the same run.

$0.0047 per product on the free plan, $0.00256 from Gold up — the full top 100 of a category for 47 cents. No start fee, no login, no browser. Lists that fail or come back empty are free.

What is Amazon Best Sellers Scraper?

A trend and product-research tool for Amazon sellers, brands, dropshippers, investors and AI agents. Amazon recalculates its Best Sellers lists from real sales many times a day; this Actor reads the list exactly as a shopper sees it — ranks 1 to 100, including the 31–100 Amazon loads while you scroll — and turns it into a table you can sort, chart or compare day to day.

Typical uses:

• Find what sells right now — the top 100 of Kitchen, Beauty or any node such as Headphones.
• Track rank over time — run it on a schedule every morning and watch products climb or drop.
• Spot launches early — New Releases shows the best-selling new products before they reach the main list.
• Map a whole department — turn on subcategories and get Electronics → Headphones, Cameras, Car Electronics… in one run.
• Compare countries — the same category on amazon.com, .de and .co.jp, each in its own currency.

How to use it in three steps

1. Type categories into 🗂️ Categories the way Amazon names them (Home & Kitchen, Electronics > Headphones & Earbuds) or as slugs (kitchen, electronics/172541) and pick the 🌍 Amazon marketplace — or paste list URLs into 🔗 List URLs.
2. Choose Best Sellers or New Releases, how many Products per list (up to 100), and whether to also read subcategories.
3. Press Start, then download JSON, CSV or Excel — or call the run from the API, n8n, Make, Zapier or an AI agent.

⬇️ Input

{
  "categories": ["electronics", "kitchen"],
  "marketplace": "US",
  "listType": "bestsellers",
  "maxItemsPerCategory": 100,
  "includeSubcategories": true,
  "maxSubcategories": 10
}

Category names are matched against Amazon's own department tree on the chosen marketplace — Home & Kitchen, kitchen and dining and Toys all work, and > goes one level down (Electronics > Headphones). A name Amazon does not have comes back as a free row that lists the names it does have. Slugs work too: the part after /bestsellers/ in a list address (amazon.com/gp/bestsellers/kitchen/289913 → kitchen/289913). Or paste the whole address into List URLs.

Tips

• Daily rank tracking: save the input as a Task, schedule it every morning and compare rank by asin between runs.
• A category shows no products: some Amazon pages are department overviews with several small carousels rather than one ranked list. The Actor returns a free error row that says so — open the department on Amazon and paste its list URL.
• Wrong link pasted: a product page, a search page or a non-Amazon address comes back as a free row saying what it is and what to paste instead.
• Movers & Shakers, Most Wished For and Gift Ideas are not in the form: Amazon currently shows those pages without products to visitors who are not signed in. A pasted link of that kind returns Amazon's own message as a free row.

Integrations and API

Run it from the Apify API, the JavaScript and Python clients, a schedule, or a webhook, and push results to Google Sheets, Airtable, Slack, a CRM or a database through n8n, Make or Zapier. The Apify MCP server exposes it to Claude, ChatGPT and other agents as a tool: "what are the 20 best-selling kitchen products on amazon.de today?"

FAQ

Is it legal to scrape Amazon Best Sellers? The lists are public pages any visitor can open without an account, and the Actor collects no personal data. You are responsible for how you use the data and for complying with Amazon's terms and the laws that apply to you.

How often do the lists change? Amazon says the lists are "updated frequently" — two runs a few hours apart can differ.

Can I get more than 100 products? Amazon ranks exactly 100 per list. For more, turn on subcategories — each has its own top 100.
