Amazon Scraper – Extract ASINs, Prices & Search Rankings Across 23 Marketplaces | Apify Actor

Amazon Scraper extracts ASINs, titles, prices, product URLs, sponsored flags, and search rankings from Amazon across 23 global marketplaces — up to 10,000 products per run, delivered as CSV or JSON without the official Amazon API.

🧠 Overview

This Amazon Scraper is an enterprise‑grade Apify Actor for e‑commerce intelligence teams, affiliates, pricing analysts, and agencies that need structured Amazon search data across multiple countries in a single run. Search any keyword and the Actor paginates across Amazon.com, Amazon.in, Amazon.co.uk, Amazon.de, Amazon.co.jp, and 18 more retail storefronts, returning ASINs, titles, prices, image URLs, sponsored vs organic flags, and exact search‑ranking positions. Every run writes to the Apify Dataset plus RESULTS_CSV and RESULTS_JSON, ready for Google Sheets, BigQuery, Snowflake, n8n, Make, or Zapier. Use it as a drop‑in Amazon Product Advertising API alternative — no seller account, no throttling, no per‑request fees.
