Amazon Scraper API

ScrapingBee Amazon scraper API extracts structured product, search, pricing, and review data from Amazon without you having to manage proxies, headless browsers, or anti-bot bypass. Built on the ScrapingBee Web Scraping API, it returns clean JSON from two dedicated endpoints: one for product detail pages (by ASIN), one for search results.

What is Amazon scraping?

Amazon scraping is the automated collection of public Amazon data: product details, prices, reviews, search rankings, seller information, and stock availability. An Amazon scraper API sends a request to Amazon on your behalf, renders the page, rotates proxies to avoid blocks, parses the result, and returns it as structured JSON. The alternative is writing your own scraper, which means maintaining proxy pools, handling CAPTCHAs, and rewriting parsers every time Amazon changes its DOM.

How it works

You send a GET request to one of two endpoints with your API key and a query parameter. For product pages, query is a 10-character ASIN. For search results, query is the search term. ScrapingBee fetches the page from the right Amazon domain, runs it through a headless browser if needed, rotates proxies, and returns parsed JSON with the fields you'd otherwise have to extract yourself.

Endpoints

Endpoint	Purpose	Query format
/api/v1/amazon/product	Product detail page by ASIN	10-character ASIN (e.g. B0DPDRNSXV)
/api/v1/amazon/search	Amazon search results	Search term (URL-encoded)

Base URL: https://app.scrapingbee.com

Quick start

Pull a product by ASIN:

curl "https://app.scrapingbee.com/api/v1/amazon/product?api_key=YOUR-API-KEY&query=B0DPDRNSXV"

Pull search results:

curl "https://app.scrapingbee.com/api/v1/amazon/search?api_key=YOUR-API-KEY&query=iphone+16"

Replace YOUR-API-KEY with the key from your dashboard. The first 1,000 credits are free.

Code examples — product

Every snippet below is from the official ScrapingBee documentation.

Python

import requests

response = requests.get(
    url='https://app.scrapingbee.com/api/v1/amazon/product',
    params={
        'api_key': 'YOUR-API-KEY',
        'query': 'B0DPDRNSXV',
    },
)

Node.js

const axios = require('axios');

axios.get('https://app.scrapingbee.com/api/v1/amazon/product', {
    params: {
        'api_key': 'YOUR-API-KEY',
        'query': 'B0DPDRNSXV',
    }
}).then(function (response) {
    console.log(response);
})

PHP

$ch = curl_init();
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, 'https://app.scrapingbee.com/api/v1/amazon/product?api_key=YOUR-API-KEY&query=B0DPDRNSXV');
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_CUSTOMREQUEST, 'GET');
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);
$response = curl_exec($ch);

Ruby

uri = URI('https://app.scrapingbee.com/api/v1/amazon/product?api_key=YOUR-API-KEY&query=B0DPDRNSXV')
http = Net::HTTP.new(uri.host, uri.port)
http.use_ssl = true
req = Net::HTTP::Get.new(uri)
res = http.request(req)

Go

req, _ := http.NewRequest("GET", "https://app.scrapingbee.com/api/v1/amazon/product?api_key=YOUR-API-KEY&query=B0DPDRNSXV", nil)
client := &http.Client{}
resp, _ := client.Do(req)

Java

Content content = Request.Get("https://app.scrapingbee.com/api/v1/amazon/product?api_key=YOUR-API-KEY&query=B0DPDRNSXV")
    .execute().returnContent();
System.out.println(content);

Code examples — search

curl

curl "https://app.scrapingbee.com/api/v1/amazon/search?api_key=YOUR-API-KEY&query=iphone+16"

Python

import requests

response = requests.get(
    url='https://app.scrapingbee.com/api/v1/amazon/search',
    params={
        'api_key': 'YOUR-API-KEY',
        'query': 'iphone 16',
    },
)

The Node.js, PHP, Ruby, Go, and Java code is identical to the product endpoint — only the URL path (/amazon/search) and the query value change.

FAQ

Is scraping Amazon legal?

Scraping publicly available Amazon data is generally legal in many jurisdictions, but Amazon's terms of service restrict automated access. The legal picture varies by country, by the type of data collected, and by how you use it. Review the ToS and the regulations that apply to you (GDPR, CCPA) before running anything in production. This repository does not provide legal advice.

What Amazon data can I extract?

Product details (title, price, ratings, reviews count, images, specs, variations, ASIN, sales rank), search results (organic and sponsored listings, prices, refinements), and the seller and shipping fields shown on the page. For reviews and Q&A specifically, check the docs — the Amazon scraper API returns review counts and aggregate ratings on the product endpoint; full review text extraction depends on the parameters you set.

How does ScrapingBee handle Amazon's anti-bot system?

Proxy rotation, headless browsers, and CAPTCHA bypass happen on the API side. For tougher requests, you can set light_request=false to force a full browser render.

How do I get prices in a specific country's currency?

Set country and currency. For delivery-zone-specific stock and pricing, also set zip_code. Combined with domain, this returns what a real buyer in that location would see.

What does it cost per request?

A standard product or search request with light_request=true is 5 credits. Setting light_request=false for full JavaScript rendering is 15 credits. Screenshots are 15 credits. Search results cost 10 credits per page on the light request path. Free plan gives you 1,000 credits to evaluate.
