Best Practices

Proxy Configuration

Amazon actively blocks scrapers. Always use proxies, preferably residential:

{
  "proxyConfiguration": {
    "useApifyProxy": true,
    "apifyProxyGroups": ["RESIDENTIAL"]
  }
}

Rate Limiting

• Start with smaller product limits per brand
• Use appropriate request timeouts (30-60 seconds recommended)
• Enable retries to handle temporary failures

Brand Names

• Use exact brand names as they appear on Amazon
• Brand names are case-sensitive
• Verify brand names before large scraping runs

Common Use Cases

Market Research

Analyze product offerings across competing brands:

{
  "brands": [
    {"brandName": "Nike", "scrapeAsin": true, "scrapePage": true},
    {"brandName": "Adidas", "scrapeAsin": true, "scrapePage": true},
    {"brandName": "Puma", "scrapeAsin": true, "scrapePage": true}
  ],
  "maxProductsPerBrand": 500
}

Image Collection

Gather product images for catalog building:

{
  "brands": [
    {"brandName": "Samsung", "scrapeImageUrl": true, "scrapeAsin": true}
  ],
  "outputFormat": "flat"
}

Product Monitoring

Track specific brand catalogs:

{
  "brands": [
    {"brandName": "YourBrand", "scrapeAsin": true, "scrapePage": true, "scrapeImageUrl": true}
  ],
  "debugMode": true
}

Limitations

• Requires valid Amazon brand names
• Subject to Amazon's terms of service and robots.txt
• Scraping speed depends on proxy quality and Amazon's rate limits
• Some product information may be unavailable depending on Amazon's page structure

Troubleshooting

No Results Returned

• Verify brand name spelling and capitalization
• Check if brand has products on Amazon
• Enable debugMode to see detailed logs
• Ensure proxy configuration is correct

Frequent Failures

• Increase requestTimeout (try 60+ seconds)
• Use residential proxies instead of datacenter
• Reduce maxProductsPerBrand to avoid rate limits
• Increase maxRetries for unstable connections

Missing Data Fields

• Verify the product page structure hasn't changed
• Check if specific fields are available for the brand
• Enable debugMode to inspect scraping process
