Data fields extracted from Amazon via scraping APIs

Before leveraging these APIs, we recommend comparing the data fields that you need with the data that they offer. We sorted the API providers from left to right based on the number of fields they provide:

Search pages

Notes:

• ✅ indicates that the respective provider supports the specific data field.
• Let’s explain ✅s and ❌s with an example: When you search for a specific wheel center cap on Amazon, you would see this search results page. Apify provides description fields for all results like this. Zyte doesn’t provide such descriptions; therefore, you see ❌ under Zyte in the above chart.
• “Top Reviews” refers to the most prominent reviews for a product.
• “Amazon Customers Say”‘ text refers to consumer feedback specific to Amazon.
• All benchmarked APIs provide the following data points:
  • Product page: Title, URL, ASIN, price, in stock, in stock text, brand, shipping price, stars, availability, reviews count, category, description, product information.
  • Search page: Title, URL, brand, price, currency, image URL.

Product pages

Bright Data

Bright Data provides both API-based and no-code solutions for scraping Amazon data. Its Amazon Scraper API is proxy-based and specifically designed to extract various data types from Amazon, including product data, reviews, and seller information. Bright Data also offers a range of ready-made Amazon datasets that cover various Amazon data points such as product listings, seller information, and category insights.

Oxylabs

Oxylabs provides a general-purpose Web Scraping API that includes a dedicated endpoint for the Amazon website. The provider doesn’t offer specialized APIs like a product page or a review scraper, as Bright Data offers. The scraper can be integrated either as a proxy or through an API.

The API features an AI-powered assistant called OxyCopilot, which enables users to retrieve only the necessary data fields from a web scraping task. Rather than extracting all the information from a webpage, OxyCopliot can select specific fields like product_name, price, availability, and rating from a particular URL. With prompt engineering, users can precisely define the data they need, streamlining the process and minimizing the need for extensive data cleaning after scraping. Here’s an example:

Decodo

Decodo provides a general-purpose scraper with dedicated endpoints for Amazon. The provider offers two tiers of scraping APIs: Core and Advanced plans. The core plan offers a basic scraping setup, providing only raw HTML output without support for JavaScript rendering and premium proxy pools. It includes geo-targeting in 8 countries.

The advanced plan delivers a much more robust solution with HTML, JSON, and parsed output options, full support for JavaScript rendering, and access to a premium proxy pool. It also supports geo-targeting in over 100 countries.

Zyte

Zyte provides a user-friendly dashboard with an API playground that generates code snippets based on selected parameters, simplifying integration and customization. Its ZyteAPI supports country-level targeting for 19 countries. The provider combines residential and datacenter proxies directly within its scraper API.

Apify

Apify is a developer-focused web scraping platform that provides different web scraper APIs for Amazon scraping, including an Amazon product scraper, a review scraper, and a seller scraper. The scraper helps users collect data from Amazon based on the URL and country input and supports country-level targeting.

Nimble

Nimbleway provides an E-Commerce API capable of scraping data from Amazon and Walmart. The API supports zip code-level scraping and comes with residential proxies. Nimbleway offers pay-as-you-go and subscription plans for their scraping API.

ScraperAPI

ScraperAPI is a general-purpose web scraper API for scraping Amazon product data. It is compatible with various programming languages, including Python, NodeJS, PHP, Ruby, and Java. The service automatically manages IP rotation, headers, and retries, while also allowing customization of parameters such as headers and sessions. Additionally, you can target specific countries from 12 available locations across the US and the EU.

Amazon scrapers used in the benchmark

We tested the dedicated Amazon scraper APIs listed below.

What is an Amazon scraping API?

An Amazon scraping API is a remote proxy + parser service explicitly designed to extract publicly available data such as product details, listing information, or search results from Amazon.com and other Amazon regional sites. Common features and parameters employed by providers:

• device_type – Mobile or desktop emulation
• render_js – Enable JavaScript rendering
• url or asin – Target Amazon product or page
• geo_location – Country or city
• parse – Whether to return structured JSON or raw HTML

In addition to these third-party scraping APIs, Amazon Bedrock includes web crawling capabilities that can be configured to extract public data. It’s not a dedicated solution for product scraping, but it can be adapted to collect product data in a compliant.

Which Amazon data can you scrape?

Web scraping must comply with Amazon’s terms of service and relevant legal guidelines. That being said, here is the information you could collect:

1. Scrape product data: Scraping Amazon product data involves parsing the HTML code of the target product web page and extracting the desired data. This data could include a product image, review, Q&A section, and pricing.

Figure 2: Shows sample output of a product description page scraped from Amazon.

2. Scrape Amazon reviews: Scraping Amazon reviews involves extracting data about product reviews, including the review title, the reviewer’s username, and the review text.
3. Scrape Amazon best sellers: Data about the top-selling products on Amazon’s website or in a specific category. Amazon’s best-selling products are generally ranked based on their sales volume in a particular category. You might potentially collect information such as sales rank, star rating, and product category.

Is it legal to scrape Amazon?

You may not scrape, collect, or duplicate the data provided to you from the Amazon Location Service other than public data. Web scraping can raise ethical and privacy issues, so it is crucial to understand potential legal and ethical implications before scraping data from Amazon.

Amazon API enables individuals to access and extract data legally and in compliance with their terms of service. However, if the API is not suited for your specific use case, and you intend to use a web scraper, like an Amazon product scraper, here are some best practices you could consider:

Our best practices don’t constitute legal advice; you should seek legal advice for scraping projects.

1. Your Amazon scraper must respect the robots.txt file and comply with Amazon’s Terms of Service.
2. The data being scraped shouldn’t be personal data.
3. Respect the rate limiting imposed by Amazon. You may overload the servers, resulting in IP blocks.
