2. Sponsored Products Filtering Button 🏷️ You get complete control! With the Amazon Search Scraper, you can choose to skip or include sponsored ad results with a simple toggle, saving you money on unwanted entries in your Amazon Search Scraper dataset.
3. Pay-Per-Event (PPE) Billing Ready 💸 The Amazon Search Scraper utilizes Apify's modern Pay-Per-Event billing, allowing you to only pay for successfully extracted unique products, protected by a maximum cost safety limit.

⚠️ Important: The 300–350 Products Limit Explained for Amazon Search Scraper

When running the Amazon Search Scraper, you might configure the max products per keyword to 500 or more. However, it is perfectly normal to see only 300 to 350 unique products returned.

Here is why:

• Duplicate Removal: Amazon search listings naturally repeat products across pages. The Amazon Search Scraper keeps a strict memory cache of all seen ASINs. This means the Amazon Search Scraper filters out duplicates so you only get unique products in your dataset.
• Amazon's Natural Listing Limit: Amazon rarely lists more than 300-350 unique items for a keyword search on their live pages.
• Auto-Stopping: If the Amazon Search Scraper encounters 5 consecutive pages with 0 new unique products, the Amazon Search Scraper engine automatically stops pagination to save you proxy bandwidth and Pay-Per-Event billing costs.
