Amazon Product Scraper

An Apify Actor for scraping product data, search results, and reviews from Amazon.com. It's built for reliability at scale with anti-blocking measures, suitable for price monitoring, market research, and building datasets.

Overview

This actor extracts structured data from Amazon. You provide product URLs or search terms, and it returns details like pricing, descriptions, ratings, and reviews. It handles proxy rotation and concurrent requests to minimize blocks.

Key Features

• Product Data: Scrapes titles, ASINs, prices, ratings, descriptions, images, and specifications.
• Search & Reviews: Can extract results from keyword searches and detailed customer reviews.
• Variant Handling: Automatically detects and scrapes available product variants (e.g., colors, sizes).
• Anti-Blocking: Uses proxy support (residential recommended) and configurable rate limiting.
• Structured Output: Cleans and formats data into consistent JSON.

How to Use

1. Configure Input: Provide Amazon product URLs or search keywords in the actor's input.
2. Set Options: Choose to include reviews, configure proxy settings, and adjust concurrency.
3. Run the Actor: Start the run. It processes the requests and outputs data to an Apify dataset.

Example Input:

{
  "productUrls": [
    "https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0CL61F39H"
  ],
  "proxyConfig": {
    "useApifyProxy": true,
    "apifyProxyGroups": ["RESIDENTIAL"]
  }
}

Input / Output

Input Parameters:
* productUrls: (Required) List of Amazon product page URLs to scrape.

}

Best Practices & Notes

• Proxies: Use residential proxies via apifyProxyGroups: ["RESIDENTIAL"] for large-scale runs to avoid blocks.
• Rate Limiting: Avoid overly aggressive scraping. Use the actor's concurrency and delay settings.
• Compliance: You are responsible for complying with Amazon's Terms of Service and relevant data protection laws (GDPR, CCPA).
• Troubleshooting: If you get blocked, enable residential proxies. For timeouts, reduce the scope or allocate more memory. Check the Issues tab for common problems.
• Pricing: The actor uses a Pay-Per-Event (PPE) model. See the Apify platform for current rates.
