Amazon Bestsellers Scraper: Top 100 Best Sellers, 10 Countries

From The Mine Works, makers of Threads Scraper and B2B Leads Finder, with over 140,000 runs across 170+ public actors.

Why choose this actor?

• The full top 100, not the first 30. Amazon's Best Sellers page only renders 30 items until you scroll. This actor reads the page the way a visitor's browser does and returns all 100 ranks of every list. Our final test run returned 400 of 400 items from 4 lists in 71 seconds, ranks 1 to 100 with no gaps.
• 10 Amazon sites, Best Sellers and New Releases, any category. amazon.com, .co.uk, .de, .fr, .it, .es, .ca, .in, .co.jp and .com.au all answered in our tests. Paste a list link, type a category path, or ask for every department of a site in one run. No Amazon account, no cookies, no proxy to set up.
• You only pay for ranked items you receive. A refused page, an empty list, a wrong category path and an item without a title are never charged. Every list gets a status line in the run summary, so an empty result always says why.

• a category path read on the marketplace you choose: electronics, books, kitchen, or a subcategory by its node id, electronics/281407;
• all, or the all departments page https://www.amazon.com/gp/bestsellers/, for every department of a site.

A link keeps its own site and its own list. Mix links from different Amazon sites freely in one run.

Key features

• 24 fields per item: rank, ASIN, title, price, currency, the price as shown, lowest offer count, star rating, number of ratings, author and format for books, full size image, product link, plus the marketplace, list, category name, category path, node id, breadcrumb and list link on every row.
• All 100 ranks: page 1 (#1 to #50) and page 2 (#51 to #100), including the items Amazon only loads as you scroll (#31 to #50 and #81 to #100). Choose 50 to 100 items per list.
• Best Sellers and New Releases: one list, the other, or both for every category in one run.
• Subcategory walk: set subcategoryDepth to 1, 2 or 3 and the actor follows Amazon's own category menu down, reading each subcategory's top 100 too. maxCategoryLists caps the run (default 50 lists).
• Every department at once: all reads the department menu of a site (40 departments on amazon.com, 31 on amazon.co.jp in our tests) and the top list of each.
• A run summary you can audit: the OUTPUT record lists every list's status, pages read, attempts, subcategories found, and the share of page loads each marketplace answered.

How to use it

Basic: one category's top 100

{
  "categories": ["https://www.amazon.com/Best-Sellers-Electronics/zgbs/electronics/"]
}

Several categories and sites at once

Links keep their own site. Paths are read on marketplace. This run reads Books on amazon.co.uk and Home & Kitchen on amazon.in, Best Sellers and New Releases of each, 400 items in all:

{
  "categories": [
    "https://www.amazon.co.uk/Best-Sellers-Books/zgbs/books/",
    "kitchen"
  ],
  "marketplace": "amazon.in",
  "listType": "both",
  "maxItemsPerList": 100
}

Job: daily rank tracking for your category

Read the same lists every morning and compare rank by asin from day to day. Save this input as a task and add a daily schedule (Console > Schedules). Each row carries scraped_at, so you can stack the runs in one sheet.

{
  "categories": [
    "https://www.amazon.com/Best-Sellers-Kitchen-Dining/zgbs/kitchen/",
    "https://www.amazon.com/Best-Sellers-Electronics-Headphones/zgbs/electronics/172541/"
  ],
  "maxItemsPerList": 100
}

Job: compare one category across countries

Product research and expansion planning: which items lead the same category in the US, the UK, Germany and Japan. Use links from each site (category paths differ between sites, see the FAQ).

{
  "categories": [
    "https://www.amazon.com/gp/bestsellers/electronics/",
    "https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/bestsellers/electronics/",
    "https://www.amazon.de/gp/bestsellers/ce-de/",
    "https://www.amazon.co.jp/gp/bestsellers/electronics/"
  ],
  "maxItemsPerList": 100
}

Job: spot new products early

New Releases ranks the best selling items that came out recently. A weekly run on your categories shows which new products are taking off before they reach the main Best Sellers list.

{
  "categories": ["books", "toys-and-games", "beauty"],
  "marketplace": "amazon.com",
  "listType": "new-releases"
}

Job: map a whole department, subcategory by subcategory

subcategoryDepth: 1 reads the department and every subcategory in its menu (Electronics on amazon.com has 18), each with its own top 100. Raise maxCategoryLists to fit; 2 and 3 levels grow fast.

{
  "categories": ["electronics"],
  "marketplace": "amazon.com",
  "subcategoryDepth": 1,
  "maxCategoryLists": 20
}

Job: a snapshot of every department on one site

{
  "categories": ["all"],
  "marketplace": "amazon.co.uk",
  "maxItemsPerList": 50,
  "maxCategoryLists": 50
}

Input parameters

Parameter	Type	Default	What it does
categories	array of strings	["https://www.amazon.com/Best-Sellers-Electronics/zgbs/electronics/"]	One category per line: a Best Sellers or New Releases link from a supported Amazon site, a category path (electronics, books, electronics/281407) read on marketplace, or all for every department. Required.
marketplace	string	amazon.com	The site that category paths are read on: amazon.com, amazon.co.uk, amazon.de, amazon.fr, amazon.it, amazon.es, amazon.ca, amazon.in, amazon.co.jp or amazon.com.au. Links keep their own site.
listType	string	bestsellers	bestsellers, new-releases or both. Applies to category paths. A link is read as the list it shows; both also adds the other list for every link.
maxItemsPerList	integer	100	Items to read from each list, from #1 down. 50 to 100. Amazon shows the top 100 on two pages of 50.
subcategoryDepth	integer	0	0 reads only the categories you give. 1 also reads every subcategory in Amazon's category menu under each of them; 2 and 3 go further down.
maxCategoryLists	integer	50	Upper limit on the lists one run reads, given ones and subcategories together. 1 to 1,000.

What data do you get?

One row per ranked item per list. The same product in two lists (Best Sellers and New Releases, or two categories) gives two rows, each with its own rank.

The item: rank, asin, title, price, price_max (only for a price range), currency, price_text, offer_count, rating, review_count, byline (author or brand line, mostly books), format (Paperback, Hardcover, Kindle Edition), image_url, product_url, page.

The list: marketplace, list_type, list_name, category_name, category_path, category_node_id (subcategories only), category_breadcrumb, category_url, scraped_at.

How full the fields were in our final test run (400 rows from 4 lists):

Field	Filled	Why not always
rank, asin, title, image_url, product_url	100%
price, currency, price_text	98%	Amazon shows no price on the list for a few items (a subscription plan, an item with no current offer).
rating, review_count	72%	New releases often have no ratings yet (12 of 100 in UK Books New Releases had any; Home & Kitchen lists on amazon.in had 98 to 100).
byline, format	45% to 48%	Books and media only: 87% to 99% on the two Books lists, none on Home & Kitchen.
offer_count	2%	Only when Amazon shows "N offers from"; this varies by site and visit (48 of 50 items on one amazon.ca page in our tests, 8 of 400 in this run).

Stable fields for automations

These fields were present in every row of our test runs and their names will not change:

Field	Meaning
marketplace	Amazon site, for example amazon.co.uk
list_type	bestsellers or new-releases
list_name	Best Sellers or New Releases
category_name	Category as Amazon names it, for example Books
category_path	Category path, for example books or ce-de/273647011
category_breadcrumb	Parent categories and the category, for example Camera & Photo > Camcorders

rank	Position in the list, 1 to 100
asin	Amazon product id (ISBN 10 for many books)
title	Product title as the list shows it
image_url	Full size product image
product_url	https://www.<marketplace>/dp/<asin>
page	1 for ranks 1 to 50, 2 for 51 to 100
scraped_at	When the list was read, ISO 8601 UTC

Pricing

Pay per event: you pay for the ranked item rows you receive, plus a flat $0.005 per run, whatever memory you choose.

Event	When it is charged	Free plan	Bronze (Starter)	Silver (Scale)	Gold (Business)
item-scraped	Once per item row stored in your dataset	$3.99 per 1,000	$3.49 per 1,000	$2.99 per 1,000	$2.49 per 1,000
run-start	Once per run, when it starts	$0.005	$0.005	$0.005	$0.005

The price per single item is the price per 1,000 divided by 1,000. A full list of 100 items is 100 events.

Never charged:

• pages Amazon refused, and lists the run could not read;
• empty lists, wrong category paths, and the all departments page itself (only the department lists it leads to);
• an item that shows no title, and a second copy of an item already delivered for the same list;
• the info row at the end of a run;
• anything past your "Max cost per run": the actor stops delivering when your limit is reached instead of sending rows for free.

FAQ

What exactly does this actor read?

Amazon's public Best Sellers and New Releases pages, the same pages anyone sees without signing in. Each list holds the top 100 items of a category on two pages of 50. Amazon renders the first 30 items of a page (sometimes all 50) and loads the rest as you scroll; the actor makes that same follow up request from the same connection, so you get every rank from 1 to 100 without a browser.

Which Amazon sites and lists are supported?

amazon.com, amazon.co.uk, amazon.de, amazon.fr, amazon.it, amazon.es, amazon.ca, amazon.in, amazon.co.jp and amazon.com.au, each with Best Sellers and New Releases. Amazon's Best Sellers pages now only offer those two lists. Links to Movers and Shakers, Most Wished For and Gift Ideas are still accepted, but in every category and site we tried on 5 October 2026 Amazon answered that there are no items available, so the actor reports that list as empty in the run summary and charges nothing for it.

How do I find a category path?

Open the category's Best Sellers page and look at the address: the path is the part after /zgbs/ or /gp/bestsellers/, for example electronics or electronics/281407. Paths differ between sites: Electronics is ce-de on amazon.de, and kitchen is Kitchen & Dining on amazon.com but Home & Kitchen on amazon.in. When in doubt, paste the link instead of the path. A path a site does not have comes back as not_found in the run summary, with no charge.

How many items can I get, and how long does it take?

Up to 100 per list. To get more, add categories, read both lists, walk subcategories (subcategoryDepth), or use all for every department of a site; maxCategoryLists allows up to 1,000 lists in one run. One list of 100 took 22 seconds in our tests; four lists of 100 took 34 to 89 seconds (three lists are read at a time; a slow or refused page adds time).

How fresh is the data?

Every run reads the lists live. Amazon's list pages say the rankings are updated frequently (hourly, on amazon.co.jp), so a run is a snapshot at scraped_at. For a history of ranks, schedule the actor and keep each run's rows.

Why is the price, rating or author missing on some items?

The actor returns what the list shows. A few items have no price on the list (subscription plans, items with no current offer), new releases often have no ratings yet, and the author and format lines only exist for books and media. Missing fields are left out of the row rather than filled with zero. When Amazon shows "N offers from", price is that lowest offer and offer_count is N. For full product details (seller, features, Best Sellers Rank text), run our Amazon Product Scraper on the ASINs.

Which language and currency do I get?

Pages are read in English. On amazon.de, .fr, .it, .es and .co.jp, Amazon shows its English title where it has one and the local title otherwise (some titles mix both). Prices are in the site's own currency: currency gives the ISO code, so the $ of amazon.ca is CAD and the $ of amazon.com.au is AUD.

Do I need an Amazon account, cookies or a proxy?

No account, no cookies and nothing to set up. The actor uses Apify's datacenter proxy automatically. Now and then Amazon answers a connection with its CAPTCHA page; the actor never solves it, it drops that connection and loads the page again on a new one. In our tests on 5 October 2026 that happened on 3 of about 80 page loads, and every list still came back complete.

What happens with a wrong link or an empty list?

Nothing is charged for it. The run summary (the OUTPUT record in the run's key-value store) gives each list a status such as ok, partial, not_found, amazon_shows_no_items or blocked, with the reason. A run that delivers nothing also ends with one info row that says why.

Can I track rankings over time?

Yes. Save your input as a task, add a schedule (daily or hourly), and compare rank by asin and category_path between runs. Each run returns the full list again, so items that drop out of the top 100 are visible as missing.

Which formats can I download?

JSON, CSV, Excel, XML, RSS and an HTML table, from the run's dataset in Console or through the API.

Can I use it from Claude, ChatGPT or Cursor (MCP)?

• Connector URL: https://mcp.apify.com/?tools=themineworks/amazon-bestsellers-scraper
• Claude: Settings > Connectors > Add custom connector, paste the URL, sign in with Apify.
• ChatGPT: developer mode, add an MCP connector with the URL, sign in with Apify.
• Cursor or VS Code: add it as an HTTP MCP server with that URL.
• Claude Code: claude mcp add -t http amazon-bestsellers-scraper "https://mcp.apify.com/?tools=themineworks/amazon-bestsellers-scraper"

Is it legal to scrape Amazon Best Sellers?

The actor only reads product rankings that Amazon shows publicly to anyone without signing in; the rows hold product data, not personal data. You are responsible for how you use the data, for Amazon's terms, and for data protection law such as GDPR and CCPA. If in doubt, ask a lawyer about your use case.

Integrations

• Google Sheets: send each run's rows to a sheet with Apify's Google Sheets integration, or import the CSV link of the dataset.
• Make, Zapier and n8n: start the actor and read its dataset with the Apify apps and nodes, for example "new #1 in my category to Slack".
• Webhooks: have Apify call your URL when a run succeeds, then fetch the dataset.
• API and SDKs: run it from Python or JavaScript with the Apify client, or with a plain HTTP call (see "Copy to your AI assistant" above).
• MCP clients: Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor and VS Code can run it as a tool through the connector URL in the FAQ.
