Amazon Best Sellers Scraper

amazon.com

Amazon's ranked lists hold up to 100 items per category, 50 per page, but each page server-renders only its first 30 cards and loads the rest as the grid scrolls, so a plain fetch misses ranks 31 to 50, and every page still has to get past Amazon's bot detection. A dedicated plugin endpoint takes a department slug such as electronics, a slug with a browse-node id, or any list URL, and returns the ranked items already parsed: rank, ASIN, title, product URL, image, price in the store's currency, rating and review count, plus the sales-rank move on Movers & Shakers. The category comes with them - name, node id, parents and subcategories - so you can walk the whole tree, and an empty category returns the department list. Pick one of five list types and any of 20 regional marketplaces; the request exits from the marketplace's home country, so prices come back in that store's currency.

What you can extract

• Rank, ASIN, title, product URL and image for every item
• Price with its ISO currency and the price text as Amazon shows it
• Star rating and review count
• Movers & Shakers: current and previous sales rank and the percentage change
• Category name, browse-node id, parent categories and subcategories to drill into
• Five list types: Best Sellers, New Releases, Movers & Shakers, Most Wished For and Gift Ideas
• Up to 100 ranked items per category, on 20 regional marketplaces, in each store's own currency

Dedicated endpoints

Supported marketplaces

Prices come back in each marketplace's local currency, with the exit pinned to that country automatically.

How to scrape it

curl -X POST \
  -H "X-ScrapeUnblocker-Key: $SU_API_KEY" \
  "https://api.scrapeunblocker.com/marketplace/amazon-bestsellers?category=electronics&max_results=10"

import requests

resp = requests.post(
    "https://api.scrapeunblocker.com/marketplace/amazon-bestsellers",
    headers={"X-ScrapeUnblocker-Key": SU_API_KEY},
    params={"category": "electronics", "max_results": "10"},
)
print(resp.text)

import { ScrapeUnblockerClient } from 'scrapeunblocker';

const su = new ScrapeUnblockerClient({ apiKey: process.env.SU_API_KEY });

const list = await su.amazonBestsellers('electronics', {
  marketplace: 'amazon.com',
  maxResults: 10,
});
console.log(list);

Requests are POST and take their parameters in the query string. Browser rendering always happens - there is no flag to enable.
