Pricing

This Actor is free to use — you only pay for Apify platform compute time and proxy usage.

A typical run of 50 products costs approximately $0.05–$0.15 in Apify platform credits, depending on proxy usage.

New Apify accounts receive $5 in free credits — enough for several hundred product scrapes.

Technical notes

• No account needed: This Actor does not require an Amazon account, login, or cookies
• Residential proxies required: Amazon.de actively blocks datacenter IPs and serves empty pages to bots. Residential proxies are mandatory — the scraper will not return products without them. Apify residential proxies are pre-configured as the default
• Proxy credits: Residential proxy usage is billed separately from Actor compute units. Check your Apify plan for included residential proxy bandwidth
• Rate limits: For large runs or multiple categories, increasing Actor memory to 2 GB is recommended
• Data freshness: All data is scraped live — no cached or stale results
• Max products: Amazon's best seller lists show a maximum of 100 products per category (2 pages of 50). The maxProducts input is capped at 100
• Blocked pages: If Amazon blocks a request, the scraper retries up to 3 times automatically
• Language: Results are in German as scraped from amazon.de — product titles, features, and descriptions will be in German
