Amazon Data Extractor

Amazon Data Extractor lets you extract product data from Amazon at scale — search results, product details, customer reviews, seller stores, and Q&A — helping you monitor prices, analyze competitors, and gather market intelligence with just a few clicks.

What is Amazon Data Extractor?

Amazon Data Extractor automates the process of browsing Amazon and extracting structured data from product pages, search results, reviews, seller storefronts, and customer Q&A sections. It handles pagination, CAPTCHA retries, and anti-bot detection so you can focus on the data.

5 scraping modes to cover every Amazon data need:

• SEARCH — Search Amazon by keyword, get product listings with prices, ratings, and images

Proxy recommendation

Amazon aggressively blocks automated access. For reliable results, residential proxies are strongly recommended.

The scraper auto-detects the best available proxy on your Apify account in this order:

1. RESIDENTIAL (best success rate, recommended)
2. BUYPROXIES94952 (datacenter, good for low-volume)
3. Default Apify Proxy (may work for small runs)

To manually configure residential proxies:

{
  "proxyConfig": {
    "useApifyProxy": true,
    "apifyProxyGroups": ["RESIDENTIAL"]
  }
}

Tip: If you're scraping non-US Amazon domains (e.g. amazon.de, amazon.co.jp), residential proxies from the target country will give the best results. Apify's residential pool automatically routes through the appropriate country.

Cost estimation

Amazon Data Extractor uses Puppeteer (headless Chrome), so it requires more compute resources than simple HTTP scrapers. Below are approximate costs on the Apify platform:

Scenario	Est. compute units	Est. cost (USD)
Search 1 keyword, 1 page (~20 products)	~0.05 CU	~$0.025
Search 1 keyword, 10 pages (~200 products)	~0.5 CU	~$0.25
10 product detail pages	~0.5 CU	~$0.25
50 product detail pages	~2.5 CU	~$1.25
Reviews for 1 product	~0.05 CU	~$0.025
Full seller store (50 pages)	~2.5 CU	~$1.25
Q&A for 10 products	~0.5 CU	~$0.25

Costs are approximate and depend on proxy type, page complexity, retry count, and concurrency settings. Residential proxies add additional cost per GB of traffic. Check Apify pricing for current rates.

Tips to reduce cost

• Use lower concurrency (maxConcurrency: 1-2) if speed isn't critical — this reduces memory usage
• Set a specific maxPages instead of 0 (all pages) to control run duration
• Use datacenter proxies for smaller runs where occasional CAPTCHAs are acceptable
• Batch multiple ASINs in a single run instead of running separate actors per ASIN

Tips and tricks

Getting the best results

• Start small: Test with 1 page or 1 ASIN first before scaling up to verify the data format meets your needs.
• Use residential proxies: Amazon's anti-bot system is aggressive. Residential IPs have significantly higher success rates than datacenter IPs.
• Avoid peak hours: Running scrapes during off-peak hours (late night US time) can reduce CAPTCHA frequency.
• Set appropriate concurrency: Higher concurrency (5-10) is faster but more likely to trigger blocks. Start with 3 and adjust.

Finding Amazon ASINs

ASINs (Amazon Standard Identification Numbers) are 10-character alphanumeric codes. You can find them:

• In the product URL: amazon.com/dp/**B09V3KXJPB**
• In the "Product Information" section of any product page
• By running a SEARCH mode scrape first, then using the ASINs from the results

Finding Seller IDs

Seller IDs are needed for STORE mode. To find a seller's ID:

1. Go to any product sold by the seller
2. Click the seller name under "Sold by"
3. The seller ID is in the URL: amazon.com/s?me=**A2L77EE7U53NZ2**

Integrations

Amazon Data Extractor works with the full Apify ecosystem:

• API access: Run the scraper programmatically via the Apify API from any language
• Scheduled runs: Set up automatic recurring scrapes (hourly, daily, weekly) to keep your data fresh
• Webhooks: Get notified when a run completes and trigger downstream workflows
• Integrations: Connect with Google Sheets, Slack, Zapier, Make, or any webhook-compatible service
• Dataset export: Download results as JSON, CSV, Excel, XML, or HTML

Using the API

# Start a run
curl -X POST "https://api.apify.com/v2/acts/YOUR_ACTOR_ID/runs" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_TOKEN" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "mode": "SEARCH",
    "query": "laptop stand",
    "maxPages": 2
  }'

# Python example
from apify_client import ApifyClient

client = ApifyClient("YOUR_API_TOKEN")
run = client.actor("YOUR_ACTOR_ID").call(run_input={
    "mode": "PRODUCT",
    "asins": ["B09V3KXJPB", "B0CHWRXH8B"],
})

for item in client.dataset(run["defaultDatasetId"]).iterate_items():
    print(item["title"], item["price"])

// JavaScript example
import { ApifyClient } from 'apify-client';

const client = new ApifyClient({ token: 'YOUR_API_TOKEN' });
const run = await client.actor('YOUR_ACTOR_ID').call({
    mode: 'SEARCH',
    query: 'wireless earbuds',
    maxPages: 5,
});

const { items } = await client.dataset(run.defaultDatasetId).listItems();
console.log(items);

FAQ

How does Amazon Data Extractor handle CAPTCHAs?

The scraper automatically detects Amazon CAPTCHA pages. When a CAPTCHA is encountered, the request is marked as failed and automatically retried (up to 3 times) with a different proxy IP. Using residential proxies dramatically reduces CAPTCHA frequency.

How many products can I scrape per run?

There's no hard limit. A SEARCH run with maxPages: 0 will paginate through all available search result pages (Amazon typically shows up to ~400 pages per query). For PRODUCT mode, you can pass hundreds of ASINs in a single run.

Can I scrape Amazon in different languages?

The scraper returns data in whatever language Amazon displays for the selected domain. For example, amazon.de returns German text, amazon.co.jp returns Japanese. The scraper itself handles all domains identically.

Why am I getting empty results?

Common causes:

1. Wrong proxy: Datacenter proxies get blocked more often. Switch to residential proxies.
2. Invalid ASIN/Seller ID: Double-check that ASINs are valid 10-character codes and seller IDs are correct.
3. CAPTCHA blocks: If all retries fail due to CAPTCHAs, the result will be empty. Try with residential proxies or lower concurrency.
4. Geo-restriction: Some products or stores are only available in certain regions. Make sure the Amazon domain matches your target market.

What's the difference between PRODUCT and SEARCH mode?

• SEARCH returns a list of products for a keyword (like browsing Amazon search results). Data is limited to what's visible in the search listing.
• PRODUCT visits each product's full detail page, extracting much richer data including descriptions, specs, variations, images, and embedded Q&A.

Does the scraper extract all reviews for a product?

Reviews are scraped from the product detail page, which shows a limited number of top reviews. Amazon now requires login for dedicated review pages (/product-reviews/), so bulk review extraction is limited to the reviews visible on the main product page (typically 8-10 reviews per product).

Can I run this on a schedule?

Yes. In the Apify Console, go to your actor's Schedules tab to set up recurring runs (e.g., daily price monitoring). You can also create schedules via the API.

Technical details

• Runtime: Node.js 20 with Puppeteer (headless Chrome)
• Anti-detection: puppeteer-extra-stealth plugin, rotating user agents, request interception (blocks images/CSS/fonts to speed up loading)
• Resource optimization: Blocks unnecessary resources (images, stylesheets, fonts, media) to reduce bandwidth and increase speed
• Retry logic: Failed requests are automatically retried up to 3 times with different proxy IPs
• US delivery address: For STORE mode, the scraper automatically sets a US delivery address (ZIP 10001) to avoid geo-filtered empty results
