Search results tell you what Amazon shows. Charts tell you what sells.

A keyword search returns whatever the ranking algorithm decides to surface for that query, sponsored placements included. A Best Sellers chart is ordered by actual sales rank.

The five charts answer different questions:

Chart	What it reveals
Best Sellers	What is selling right now, ranked 1–100
New Releases	Recent launches already gaining traction
Movers & Shakers	Biggest rank gains in 24 hours — products taking off before they are established
Most Wished For	Demand that has not converted yet — a leading indicator
Gift Ideas	What is actually being bought for others, which peaks seasonally

Movers & Shakers is the sharpest of the five for spotting a trend early: it ranks by change, not by position.

What this Actor extracts

Field	Type	Description
rank	integer	Position in the chart, read from the badge Amazon prints on the card
asin	string	Amazon's product identifier
title	string	Product title
url	string	Product detail page
price	number	Price as a number
priceText	string	Price as Amazon renders it
currency	string	Currency of the marketplace
rating	number	Average star rating out of 5
reviewCount	integer	Number of ratings
imageUrl	string	Product thumbnail
category	string	Chart category slug
listType	string	Which of the five charts
marketplace	string	Amazon storefront
page	integer	Chart page (1 or 2)
scrapedAt	string	UTC timestamp of extraction

rank is read from the printed badge rather than inferred from grid order, so the number stays correct even when the layout reflows or a card is missing.

Use cases

Product sourcing for private label

Scan many categories at once and look for charts where the top ranks are cheap and lightly reviewed. High rank with few reviews means demand exists and no incumbent has locked it in.

Trend detection

Run Movers & Shakers daily against a set of categories and diff the results. A product appearing near the top two days running is a trend forming, not noise.

Competitive rank tracking

Track your own ASINs' rank over time per category and marketplace. Because rank is read from the page, the series is directly comparable across runs.

Seasonal planning

Gift Ideas and Most Wished For move ahead of the buying season. Scraping them through Q4 shows demand building before it shows up in Best Sellers.

Cross-market expansion research

The same category ranks differently in each of the 19 storefronts. Comparing electronics in US, DE and JP tells you where a product has room before you commit inventory.

Frequently asked questions

How many products can one run return?

A single test run returned 1,140 products across twenty categories, with rank and price on 100% of rows and ratings on 99%. Each chart is capped by Amazon at 100 products, so scale comes from scraping more categories and more marketplaces rather than deeper pagination.

Why is maxPagesPerCategory limited to 2?

Because Amazon publishes only 100 products per chart, split across two pages of 50. Asking for more pages would return nothing.

What is the difference between Best Sellers and Movers & Shakers?

Best Sellers ranks by current sales volume, so it is dominated by established products. Movers & Shakers ranks by change in sales rank over 24 hours, which surfaces products accelerating right now — the useful signal if you are hunting trends rather than confirming them.

Can I get full product details for the ASINs in a chart?

Yes. Take the asin values and feed them into the Amazon Product Detail Scraper for specs, description, seller, Best Sellers Rank and full-size images.

Is scraping Amazon legal?

This Actor reads publicly available chart pages, does not log in, and collects no personal data. How you use the output is your responsibility; review Amazon's terms and your local rules before redistributing data commercially.
