Amazon Reviews Scraper — Ratings & Sentiment

What does Amazon Reviews Scraper do?

Amazon Reviews Scraper extracts written customer reviews from any Amazon product page — star ratings, review text, verified purchase status, helpful votes, reviewer info, and attached images — for any ASIN on amazon.com. Retrieves hundreds to thousands of reviews per product depending on review volume.

Give it a list of ASINs or Amazon product URLs and get a structured dataset you can download as JSON, CSV, or Excel in seconds. Runs on the Apify platform with scheduling, API access, webhook integrations, and monitoring built in.

Note: Amazon's rating count (e.g. "80 ratings") includes star-only feedback with no written text. This scraper retrieves written reviews — customers who left a text review alongside their rating. The number of written reviews is typically lower than the total rating count shown on Amazon.

FAQ, Disclaimers & Support

Is scraping Amazon reviews legal? Scraping publicly visible data is generally accepted for personal, academic, and business research use. Review Amazon's Terms of Service before using the data commercially. This scraper only accesses publicly available review data — no login or personal accounts are used.

Why does the review count differ from what Amazon shows? Amazon's rating count includes star-only ratings that have no written text. This scraper retrieves written reviews — customers who left a text review. The number of written reviews is always lower than the total rating count. Setting maxReviewsPerProduct to 0 collects all available written reviews for an ASIN.

Can I scrape reviews from Amazon.co.uk, Amazon.de, or other marketplaces? Currently amazon.com only. Support for additional marketplaces is on the roadmap.

Can I schedule this to run automatically? Yes — use Apify Schedules to monitor review changes on a daily or weekly basis without any manual effort.
