Amazon Competitor Research Scraper — Product & Pricing Intelligence

Stop paying $49/month for Amazon product research. This actor pulls BSR rank, price, review count, seller count, FBA status, and more for any list of ASINs — across 10 Amazon marketplaces — for a fraction of what Jungle Scout and Helium 10 charge.

Built for Amazon FBA sellers, private label brands, arbitrage sellers, and dropshippers who need bulk ASIN data without a bloated subscription.

What It Does

Provide a list of ASINs or Amazon product URLs. The actor visits each product page, extracts structured data, and returns a clean dataset ready for spreadsheet analysis or CRM import.

Key data points extracted:

• Best Seller Rank (BSR) and BSR category
• Current price and currency
• Review count and star rating
• Number of active sellers
• FBA eligibility and Prime status
• Product dimensions and weight
• Brand, category, date first available
• Main product image URL

No account required. No API keys. Run it on demand and pay only for what you use.

Use Cases

Amazon FBA Product Research

Validate product ideas before sourcing. Pull BSR rank, review count, and seller count for a shortlist of target ASINs to assess competition level and demand. A BSR under 5,000 in a main category with fewer than 15 sellers and under 500 reviews is a common entry-point benchmark. Get that data in bulk without manually opening each product page.

Competitor Tracking

Monitor competitors' pricing and review velocity over time. Schedule recurring runs against a fixed list of competitor ASINs and feed results into a spreadsheet or BI tool. Spot when a competitor drops price, gains sellers, or loses BSR position.

BSR Monitoring

Track your own products' BSR movements alongside competitors. BSR is a lagging indicator of sales volume — watching it across a category reveals trends before review counts reflect them.

Arbitrage and Dropshipping Research

Arbitrage sellers and dropshippers need fast, bulk lookups to evaluate whether a product is worth adding to their catalog. Paste in 500 ASINs from a wholesale list, set maxResults to 500, and filter the CSV output by price range, seller count, and FBA status.

Private Label Market Entry Analysis

Before committing to a new product line, private label brands use BSR, review count, and seller count to size the market. This actor delivers that data for any number of ASINs across any of the 10 supported marketplaces, making international market comparisons straightforward.

How to Use

1. Open the actor on Apify and click Try for free.
2. Paste your ASINs into the input field (one per line, or as a JSON array).
3. Select your target marketplace.
4. Click Start and wait for results.
5. Download as CSV or JSON from the Dataset tab.

For scheduled monitoring, use Apify's built-in scheduler to run the actor daily or weekly without manual intervention.

Use via Apify API

import { ApifyClient } from 'apify-client';

const client = new ApifyClient({ token: 'YOUR_API_TOKEN' });

const run = await client.actor('samstorm/amazon-competitor-research-scraper').call({
    asins: ['B08N5WRWNW', 'B09G9FPHY6', 'B07XJ8C8F5'],
    marketplace: 'amazon.com',
    maxResults: 100,
});

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

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need an Amazon account? No. The actor scrapes public product pages and requires no login.

How many ASINs can I process in one run? Up to 1,000 per run using the maxResults field. For larger batches, split into multiple runs or contact support for guidance.

Is this a Jungle Scout alternative? Yes. For sellers who only need on-demand ASIN data — not the full keyword research and supplier database features of Jungle Scout — this actor covers the core product research workflow at a fraction of the cost.

Can I track ASINs on Amazon UK or Germany? Yes. Select amazon.co.uk or amazon.de from the marketplace dropdown. All 10 supported marketplaces return the same output schema.

How fresh is the data? Data is pulled live at the time of each run. There is no cached or historical data — every run reflects current Amazon listings.

Known Limitations

• Apple products: Apple restricts pricing display on Amazon. Apple products may return $0 for price, and empty values for BSR and Prime/FBA fields. This is an Amazon platform restriction, not a scraper bug.
• Lazy-loaded fields: dimensions, weight, and dateFirstAvailable are not always present in the page DOM and may be empty for some products.
• CAPTCHAs: Amazon may serve CAPTCHAs during high-volume runs. The actor uses session pooling and residential proxies to minimize this. If you see many failed requests, try lowering maxResults or spacing out runs.
