Amazon Product Scraper

This alternate scraper is a lightweight fork of the main Apify actor. It includes simplified configuration and some experimental features. It's intended for quick deployments or testing variations of the original scraping logic.

Features

• Multiple Scraping Modes:
  • Search products by keyword
  • Scrape specific product URLs directly
  • Use custom search URLs with filters
  • Scrape bestseller/category pages
• Deep Product Scraping: Get detailed product information including specifications, features, variants, and availability
• Product Reviews: Extract customer reviews with ratings, dates, and helpful votes
• Parallel Tab Processing: Scrapes multiple products simultaneously using browser tabs for faster execution
• Anti-Detection: Stealth mode with proxy support and user agent rotation
• Pagination Support: Automatically navigates through multiple pages

Input

This variant of the actor uses a more concise set of parameters, optimized for quick tests.

Field	Type	Description
mode	string	One of search, productUrl or categoryUrl.
keywords	string	Search keywords (used when mode is search).
urls	array	List of full product or category URLs (mode productUrl or categoryUrl).
maxItems	integer	Cap the number of results (default 25).
scrapeDepth	integer	How many follow‑ups to visit per product (default 1).
useProxies	boolean	Toggle proxy rotation (default false).
headless	boolean	Run without a visible browser (default true).

Output

The actor returns a flat JSON object per item with only the most commonly used attributes, making downstream processing easier.

Fields included

• asin – Amazon ASIN identifier
• title – Product title
• price – Current price (numeric)
• currency – Currency symbol (e.g. ₹)
• rating – Average star rating
• reviewsCount – Total number of reviews
• url – Canonical product URL
• thumbnail – Small image URL
• inStock – Boolean availability flag

For the alternate scraper we do not output deep specifications, features, or review bodies; those were removed to keep the output lightweight.

Why This Scraper?

This fork is designed to be lightweight, fast, and easy to configure. It removes unnecessary complexity while still delivering the core data most users need, making it ideal for:

• Prototyping new data pipelines without a long setup
• Running quick ad‑hoc queries on Amazon product lists
• Testing new features or selectors before merging back to the main actor

Typical Use Scenarios

• 🔎 Quick keyword searches where only basic product info is required
• 📦 Bulk URL processing when a list of ASINs is already known
• ⚡ Low‑cost, low‑latency scraping with minimal event charges
• 🧪 Development & QA for teams iterating on scraping logic

Want More Control?

If you need something beyond this simple variant, here are options:

1. Modify the actor yourself – it’s intentionally small and well‑documented.
2. Fork it on Apify and add custom scraping steps or output fields.
3. Reach out for paid consulting if you’d like tailored solutions or dedicated infrastructure.
