Amazon Tracker

This Actor scrapes Amazon search results to help sellers, FBA brands, and dropshippers monitor trending products, competitors, reviews, and market signals. It supports all Amazon marketplaces, optional Apify Proxy usage, review extraction, and exports results both as JSON and CSV.

Features

Product Data Extraction

From Amazon search results, the Actor collects:

• ASIN
• Title
• Brand (when detectable)
• Price and discount info
• Rating (numeric)
• Review count
• Badges (Amazon’s Choice / Best Seller)
• Product URL
• Thumbnail
• Basic “insight” score combining rating, reviews, and price

Optional Review Scraping

For each product, the Actor can (optionally) fetch:

• Top review text
• Review title
• Review rating
• Review date

Multi‑Marketplace Support

You can scrape any Amazon region by providing:

• marketplace (US, IN, AU, UK, DE, JP, etc.)
• or a full product URL (the base domain will be auto‑detected)

Output Formats

Stored in the Actor’s key‑value store:

• OUTPUT.json — array of product objects
• output.csv — CSV export of the dataset

Input Options

You can provide:

• categoryOrKeyword → builds /s?k= search URLs
• startUrls → directly scrape specific search pages
• productUrl → used to detect marketplace automatically

Configuration Summary

Field	Description
marketplace	Amazon region code (e.g. US, IN, AU, UK, DE, FR, JP). If omitted and productUrl is provided, marketplace will be auto-detected from the domain.
useApifyProxy	true/false. When true, the run will use Apify Proxy (recommended to avoid blocks).
apifyProxyCountry	Two-letter country code to select proxy geolocation (e.g. US). Requires useApifyProxy: true.
apifyProxyGroups	Optional array of proxy groups (e.g. ["RESIDENTIAL"]) to pass to Apify Proxy.
categoryOrKeyword	Free text (e.g. wireless earbuds) used to build /s?k= search URLs. Mutually exclusive with startUrls when used as the primary driver.
startUrls	Array of fully formed search URLs to crawl (e.g. https://www.amazon.com/s?k=foo&page=1). Use when you want explicit page control.
productUrl	A single product page URL used to auto-detect marketplace and seed searches.
maxProducts	Integer limit on number of product items to collect (0 = unlimited). The crawler will stop once this many product rows have been pushed.
maxNumberOfPagesToCrawl	Maximum number of search result pages to visit (per start URL). Use together with categoryOrKeyword or startUrls.
fetchTopReview	true/false. When true the Actor attempts to fetch the top review for each product (slower; may require proxy).
competitorAsins	Optional array of ASINs to mark as competitors in results (e.g. ["B08N5XYZ"]).
waitBetweenRequestsMs	Milliseconds to wait between subsequent HTTP requests (default: 500). Helps reduce anti-bot triggers.
requestTimeoutMs	Axios/request timeout in milliseconds (default: 15000).
maxConcurrency	Maximum number of concurrent requests the crawler will execute. Set to 1 for single-threaded runs (recommended without strong proxies).
minConcurrency	Minimum number of concurrent requests the crawler will maintain.
retries	Number of fetch retries for top-review or auxiliary requests (default: 3).
onlyReviewedProducts	If true, include only products that have reviews (i.e., non-zero reviewCount or a discovered topReview). Useful when you want to focus on reviewed items.
ratingsAbove	Float threshold (e.g. 2.0) to filter out low-rating products before exporting.
maxRequestsPerCrawl	Maximum number of requests/pages the crawler will schedule (0 = unlimited). Default: 10.
waitForPageLoadMs	Additional wait (ms) to allow pages to finish rendering when necessary (default: 3000).
outputFormat	Which outputs to write: json, csv, or both (default: both).
outputFileName	Base filename/key for outputs. JSON is written to this key, CSV is written to <outputFileName>.csv (default: OUTPUT).
