Amazon Best Sellers Scraper - Top 100 Rankings by Category

Scrape Amazon Best Sellers, New Releases and Movers & Shakers rankings for any category and marketplace (US, UK, DE, FR, JP...). One flat record per product: rank, ASIN, title, price and currency, rating, review count, image, category.

What it does

• Reads the ranking of one or more Amazon categories and returns the products in rank order, one flat JSON record per product.
• Works with top-level categories (/gp/bestsellers/electronics) and sub-categories (/zgbs/electronics/172541), on 20 Amazon marketplaces.
• Three lists: Best Sellers, New Releases and Movers & Shakers (biggest sales-rank gainers over 24 hours).
• Up to the top 100 per category (Amazon publishes 100 ranks, 50 per page). All 50 ranks of a page are returned, including the 20 that Amazon loads after the first 30.
• Prices are returned as a number plus an ISO currency code, in the currency of the marketplace (USD on amazon.com, GBP on amazon.co.uk, JPY on amazon.co.jp...), whatever the location of the proxy.
• Page text is requested in English on every marketplace, so category names and labels are consistent.

Limitations

• Amazon publishes only the top 100 of each list; maxItems above 100 is capped at 100.
• Only the data shown on the ranking page is returned. Product details (description, seller, availability, BSR in other categories) require visiting each product page and are not included.
• A few products have no price on the list (Amazon shows "Click for details" or the item is unavailable): price is then null.
• Movers & Shakers lists are often empty on Amazon ("no movers and shakers available in this category"); on 2026-11-02 the Books, Electronics and Toys lists of amazon.com and amazon.co.uk were all empty. The run then fails with that explicit message instead of returning an empty dataset.
• An unknown category slug shows the same empty page on Amazon, so it is reported as "Amazon lists no products here".
• Bare slugs work for root categories only (electronics, books, toys-and-games...). For a sub-category, paste its URL. Root slugs differ between marketplaces (e.g. ce-de for electronics on amazon.de).
• Amazon sometimes answers with a robot-check page. The Actor never solves it: it retries with new proxy sessions and fails with an explicit message if every session is blocked.
• Rankings are updated by Amazon about every hour; two runs a few minutes apart can differ.
