Amazon Best Sellers, New Releases & Movers Scraper

Get Amazon's Best Sellers, Hot New Releases and Movers & Shakers charts for any category on 11 marketplaces. Each row is one ranked product: rank, ASIN, title, price, rating, reviews count, author or brand line, format, image and link, plus the list and category it came from. Read a whole department and its subcategories in one run, switch on change tracking to see each product's previous rank and what dropped off the chart, or ask for full product details (best sellers rank in every category, brand, categories, specs, images, variations, date first available).

You pay per product delivered: $2 per 1,000 products, or $5 per 1,000 with full details. Empty charts are free. No subscription, no API key, no browser to maintain.

Built for:

• Amazon and print-on-demand sellers: what is selling in a niche right now, which new products are climbing, which prices win.
• Publishers and authors: daily book charts by genre, new releases in your category, rank movement over time.
• Brands, agencies and analysts: track a category's top 100 every day and see who enters and who drops out.
• AI agents: current Amazon chart data on demand through the Apify API or MCP.

Input examples

Top 50 Best Sellers in Books on amazon.com:

{ "categories": ["books"] }

Best Sellers and Hot New Releases for one subcategory, top 100 each, with change tracking (schedule it daily):

{ "categories": ["fashion/9056987011"], "listTypes": ["bestsellers", "new-releases"], "maxItemsPerList": 100, "trackChanges": true, "monitorId": "novelty-tees" }

A department and its first 10 subcategories, top 20 of each:

{ "categories": ["kitchen"], "includeSubcategories": true, "maxSubcategories": 10, "maxItemsPerList": 20 }

Paste chart links from any supported marketplace:

{ "startUrls": ["https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/new-releases/books", "https://www.amazon.de/gp/bestsellers/books/403434"] }

Top 10 with full product details:

{ "categories": ["electronics"], "maxItemsPerList": 10, "enrichDetails": true }

Tips

• Categories: use the slug from a chart URL (books, kitchen, electronics, fashion...), a slug with a node ID (fashion/9056987011), or paste the full chart URL. The node ID is the number at the end of a subcategory's URL.
• Marketplaces: United States, United Kingdom, Germany, France, Italy, Spain, Canada, Australia, India, Japan and Mexico. Pasted URLs use their own marketplace.
• Depth: Amazon shows up to 100 products per chart. maxItemsPerList goes from 1 to 100 (default 50).
• Movers & Shakers: Amazon sometimes shows no movers in a category, or in any category, for a while ("Sorry, there are no movers and shakers available in this category"). The run then returns a list row with status: empty and charges nothing. At the time of writing this message appears across the store, so expect empty Movers & Shakers results until Amazon fills the chart again.
• Change tracking compares each chart with the last run that used the same chart and monitorId. History is kept in your own Apify account (key-value store amazon-charts-history). The first run is the baseline.
• Prices come in the marketplace's own currency (euros on amazon.de, pounds on amazon.co.uk...). currency is read from the price shown, so it always matches priceText.
• Charts update about once an hour. scrapedAt tells you when each row was read. Runs without details usually take under a minute; full details add 1 to 2 minutes (the data provider's standard queue).

Output example (one product)

{
  "type": "product", "listType": "bestsellers", "listName": "Best Sellers", "marketplace": "US",
  "category": "Books", "categorySlug": "books", "categoryNodeId": null,
  "listUrl": "https://www.amazon.com/gp/bestsellers/books", "rank": 1, "asin": "1639739130",
  "title": "A Court of Splintered Harmony: The Valkyrie Cycle, Movement I (A Court of Thorns and Roses, 6)",
  "url": "https://www.amazon.com/dp/1639739130", "byline": "Sarah J. Maas", "format": "Hardcover",
  "price": 22.38, "priceText": "$22.38", "currency": "USD", "rating": null, "reviewsCount": null,
  "offersText": "5 formats available", "enriched": false, "chargedEvent": "product",
  "scrapedAt": "2026-10-25T23:19:37Z"
}

rating and reviewsCount are null when the chart card doesn't show them (common for pre-orders and brand-new releases).

The dataset has three views: Products, Movers & Shakers and Lists. Export to CSV, Excel or JSON, or connect it to Google Sheets, Slack, Zapier or Make through Apify integrations.

Pricing (pay per event)

Event	Price	When it is charged
Actor start	set by Apify	once per run
product	$0.002	one ranked product delivered
enriched-product	$0.005	one ranked product delivered with full product details (charged instead of product, not on top of it)

You are not charged for:

• empty charts, charts that do not exist, and charts that could not be read (the list row says why);
• list rows, invalid or duplicate inputs;
• anything beyond your run's maximum charge. The run stops cleanly and lists what it didn't process.

If the full details for a product cannot be fetched, the product is still delivered and charged as a basic product.

Apify free plan: 2 charts with up to 50 products each and 10 products with full details per run. Any paid Apify plan unlocks up to 50 charts (plus up to 30 subcategories each) and 100 products per chart.

How it works and what it doesn't do

The Actor reads the public chart pages the same way a logged-out shopper sees them. It never logs in, sends a few requests at a time with pauses between them, and uses Apify Proxy. Full product details come from DataForSEO's licensed Merchant API. Reviews and reviewer names are never collected; you get the rating and the number of reviews only.

Use from AI agents (MCP)

AI assistants such as Claude, ChatGPT and Cursor can run this Actor through Apify's MCP server (https://mcp.apify.com). Runs use your own Apify account and are charged at the prices on this page.

• Actor name: vncntlabs/amazon-best-sellers
• Server URL with only this tool: https://mcp.apify.com?tools=vncntlabs/amazon-best-sellers
• Cursor: add the server to mcp.json:

{ "mcpServers": { "apify": { "url": "https://mcp.apify.com?tools=vncntlabs/amazon-best-sellers" } } }

Example prompt: "Use the Apify Actor vncntlabs/amazon-best-sellers to get today's top 20 Hot New Releases in Books on amazon.com and summarise the genres and price range."

To cap the cost of an agent's run, pass maxTotalChargeUsd in the run options.

FAQ

How often do the charts change? Amazon updates them about hourly. Schedule the Actor daily or hourly with change tracking to build a rank history.

Why are Movers & Shakers empty? Amazon is not showing that chart right now (see Tips). Empty charts are not charged.

Can I get the top 100? Yes, set maxItemsPerList to 100. Amazon does not show more than 100 per chart; use subcategories to go deeper.

Is this an official Amazon API? No. This Actor is not affiliated with or endorsed by Amazon. Amazon is a trademark of Amazon.com, Inc. or its affiliates.
