Amazon Best Sellers Scraper — the ranked Top 100 of any Amazon category
The Amazon Best Sellers Scraper collects Amazon's own Best Sellers rankings: rank, ASIN, title, price, rating, number of ratings and image for the Top 100 products of any category.
Point it at one category URL, name the departments you want, or let the Amazon Best Sellers Scraper walk every department of a marketplace. New Releases rankings work the same way.
In our tests the Amazon Best Sellers Scraper returned the complete Top 100 of Books on amazon.com, ranks 1 to 100 with no gaps, in 8 seconds.
Why sellers use the Amazon Best Sellers Scraper
Product research: see what sells in a category today, at what price and with how many ratings.
Trend tracking: schedule the Amazon Best Sellers Scraper daily and watch products climb or fall in the ranking.
Competitor monitoring: check whether your ASIN, or a rival's, is in the Top 100 of its category and sub-categories.
Market sizing: compare price bands and rating counts across all departments of a marketplace in one dataset.
How the Amazon Best Sellers Scraper works
Each Amazon Best Sellers page holds 50 ranked products. Amazon puts ranks 1 to 30 in the page itself and loads ranks 31 to 50 when the visitor scrolls.
The Amazon Best Sellers Scraper reads the first 30 from the page, then makes the same "next 20" request the browser makes when scrolling. Every value that request needs is read from the page on every run.
Page 2 of the ranking (ranks 51 to 100) is the page's own "Next page" link, so the Amazon Best Sellers Scraper delivers the full Top 100 per category.
Department names come from the marketplace's own Best Sellers page, read live. Nothing is a stored list, so new or renamed Amazon departments are picked up automatically.
Amazon's interstitials (soft CAPTCHA, Akamai check, JavaScript challenge, 503 page) are handled the same way as in our other Amazon Actors: answered from the page when possible, otherwise with a new session and proxy IP.

Why this is not an Amazon reviews scraper
This Actor was planned as a reviews scraper. On 2026-10-03 we measured that Amazon no longer shows review texts to logged-out visitors: product pages say "Sign in to see customer reviews" and the review pages redirect to the sign-in form.
Because our Actors never log in, the Actor became the Amazon Best Sellers Scraper instead. For the public rating data that remains (histogram, "Customers say" summary), use the Amazon Product Scraper below.
Amazon Best Sellers Scraper limits, stated plainly
Amazon ranks at most 100 products per category, so the Amazon Best Sellers Scraper returns at most 100 rows per category. More rows need more categories or sub-categories.
Most Wished For, Gift Ideas and Movers & Shakers lists showed no products to logged-out visitors in our tests, so the Amazon Best Sellers Scraper offers Best Sellers and New Releases only.
includeSubcategories goes one level down. For deeper levels, paste the deeper category URLs into startUrls.
rating and reviewsCount are empty for products Amazon shows without ratings, for example new books.
price is the price printed on the ranking card. When several sellers offer the item, Amazon prints the lowest offer, as in "15 offers from $17.29". For the buy-box price, stock and seller of each product, pass the ASINs to the Amazon Product Scraper.
How to run the Amazon Best Sellers Scraper
For one category, open the Amazon Best Sellers Scraper, paste the Best Sellers URL from your browser into startUrls and press Start. The first 50 rows usually arrive within seconds.
For several departments, leave startUrls empty, type the department names into categories and choose the marketplace in domain. The Amazon Best Sellers Scraper matches your names against the live department list and logs the available names when one does not match.
For a full market snapshot, switch on allDepartments, lower maxItemsPerCategory to 10 or 20, and raise maxItems. The Amazon Best Sellers Scraper then visits every department of the marketplace in one run.
Ideas for the Amazon Best Sellers Scraper data
- Find price gaps: compare
priceof the top 20 with the top 100 in a category. - Spot rising products: products with few ratings but a high
rankare often new and growing. - Track seasonality: run the Amazon Best Sellers Scraper weekly over a year for the same departments.
- Feed product research: send the ASINs to the Amazon Product Scraper for full details.
Troubleshooting the Amazon Best Sellers Scraper
- A department name was skipped: the log lists the exact names Amazon uses on that marketplace; copy one of them.
- Fewer than 100 rows for a category: Amazon ranked fewer products there, or
maxItemsPerCategoryis lower. - A URL was rejected: it is not a
/zgbs/,/gp/bestsellers/or/gp/new-releases/page.
Export, API and automation with the Amazon Best Sellers Scraper
Export the Amazon Best Sellers Scraper dataset to CSV, JSON, Excel, XML or HTML from the Apify console, or read it through the Apify API with Python or JavaScript.
Schedule a daily run and send the dataset to Google Sheets with the built-in integration, or to Make, Zapier or n8n for your own automation. A webhook can trigger your code after every run.
Since every row has rank, category and scrapedAt, a simple pivot of the exports shows rank history per ASIN over days or weeks.
Amazon Best Sellers Scraper pricing
The Amazon Best Sellers Scraper uses pay-per-event pricing: you pay per ranked product in the dataset. The current price per 1,000 results is on the Pricing tab.
Free-plan accounts get up to 30 rows per run. Paid plans are limited only by maxItems.
