The charts

Set listType to pick which Amazon chart to pull:

• bestsellers (default) — top sellers over the last 24 hours
• new-releases — Hot New Releases (newest launches climbing the chart)

Why not Movers & Shakers / Most Wished For / Gift Ideas? Amazon currently serves those three charts empty from datacenter IPs (data-client-recs-list=""). They need residential-IP routing, which the author is still cost-benchmarking before adding. If you need those three today, open an issue and we'll prioritise the proxy mode.

Example inputs

US best sellers in Electronics + Toys:

{
  "marketplace": "com",
  "listType": "bestsellers",
  "categorySlugs": ["electronics", "toys-and-games"],
  "maxItemsPerCategory": 100
}

UK New Releases in Beauty:

{
  "marketplace": "co.uk",
  "listType": "new-releases",
  "categorySlugs": ["beauty"]
}

Mix marketplaces and list types by pasting URLs — the marketplace, chart AND sub-category are detected per URL:

{
  "categoryUrls": [
    "https://www.amazon.com/gp/bestsellers/electronics",
    "https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/new-releases/beauty",
    "https://www.amazon.de/gp/bestsellers/computers",
    "https://www.amazon.co.jp/gp/bestsellers/books",
    "https://www.amazon.fr/gp/new-releases/jouets"
  ]
}

Sub-categories (10k+ browse nodes) — drill into any sub-category by appending its browse-node id to the slug (or paste the full URL). Amazon exposes a bestsellers chart for every browse node it ships:

{
  "categoryUrls": [
    "https://www.amazon.com/gp/bestsellers/electronics/172541",
    "https://www.amazon.com/gp/bestsellers/electronics/172456",
    "https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/bestsellers/electronics/560834"
  ]
}

Resolves to Best Headphones & Earbuds, Best Computer Accessories & Peripherals, and Best Camera & Photo (UK). You can also pass sub-category slugs directly:

{
  "marketplace": "com",
  "categorySlugs": ["electronics/172541", "books/16190"]
}

Example output row (book)

{
  "marketplace": "com",
  "listType": "bestsellers",
  "categorySlug": "books",

  "rank": 1,
  "asin": "1639739130",

  "priceText": "$22.38",
  "currency": "USD",
  "byline": "Sarah J. Maas",
  "format": "Hardcover"
}

Common category slugs

Amazon slugs often match across marketplaces, but not always — electronics works everywhere, while beauty on amazon.de is beauty but Toys is spielzeug. The reliable way is to open any amazon.<tld>/gp/bestsellers/<slug> URL in your browser and copy the slug (or paste the full URL).

US/UK common slugs: electronics, books, toys-and-games, home-garden, wireless (cell phones), office-products, pet-supplies, beauty, automotive, videogames, appliances, arts-crafts-sewing, baby-products, camera-photo, computers, fashion, grocery, handmade, health-personal-care, industrial, jewelry, kitchen, lawn-garden, movies-tv, music, musical-instruments, shoes, software, sporting-goods, tools, watches.

For sub-categories, drill in on Amazon's own best-sellers tree (left sidebar) and copy the full URL. Every browse node has its own chart, e.g. electronics/172541 = Headphones & Earbuds, electronics/172456 = Computer Accessories, books/27 = Travel, books/16190 = Business & Money.

Filtering

Only pay for products you want:

• minRating — e.g. 4.5 keeps only 4.5-star+ items. Items without a rating are also skipped.
• minReviews — e.g. 100 keeps items with at least 100 ratings.
• maxItemsPerCategory — stop at this many items (max 100).
• pagesPerCategory — each page has 30 items. Default 2 pages (= top 60).

Skipped items are not charged.

Pricing

$0.001 per item returned. Running the example above (3 categories × 100 items = 300 products) costs $0.30.

Use cases

• Trend research — Track what's selling across US, UK, DE, FR etc. in your category.
• Competitor monitoring — Watch the top 100 ASINs daily per country; alert when a competitor enters or leaves.
• Hot-new feed — Pull new-releases + movers-and-shakers once a day and feed them to a shopping assistant.
• Catalog seeding — Export top 100 ASINs per (country, category) and feed them into another scraper for prices, offers, reviews.
• AI/LLM apps — Listed under the MCP Servers category so AI agents can call it directly.
• Books — Daily top 100 charts, with author (byline), format (Hardcover / Paperback / Kindle Edition) and listing price.

How it works

• Fetches the public Amazon listing page for your (marketplace, chart, category, page).
• Parses rank, ASIN, title, URL, image, rating, review count, byline, format, and (when shown) the listing price in both float and raw-text forms.
• Price parsing is locale-aware (. vs , decimal separator).
• Review and rating patterns cover the UI language of each marketplace.
• Three fallback layers: direct Apify IP → datacenter proxy → residential proxy (country-matched). Only used when the previous layer was blocked, so most runs stay on the cheapest path.
• Slug remap for stores where the standard slug differs: electronics on amazon.de resolves to ce-de automatically.
• Stops at maxItemsPerCategory items per target.

Python examples and daily tracking

A companion repo on GitHub — huynhtanan/amazon-bestsellers-tracker — ships three example scripts you can run directly against this actor via apify-client:

• top_sellers.py — pull current top-50 of any category and print a sortable table
• compare_markets.py — pull the same category across 4 marketplaces and spot cross-market overlaps
• track_rank.py — ~90-line script that writes daily snapshots into SQLite and emits SQL to spot climbers/droppers

• Google Vacation Rentals — $2 per 1,000 vacation rentals

Limitations

• Listing-page price only; most non-book categories hide the price on the listing. For prices on everything, pipe the ASINs into an Amazon product scraper.
• Category slugs are marketplace-specific — amazon.de's "Toys" slug is spielzeug, not toys-and-games. Use categoryUrls and paste the URL from your browser if you aren't sure.
• Review count regex covers 15 UI languages; a few uncommon marketplaces may leave reviewsCount null — ratings and rank are always set.
