Amazon Prices & Deals Actor

An Apify actor for scraping Amazon product pricing and promotional deals. It supports two main processes: checking prices for specific products and discovering discounted deals.

Overview

This actor fetches data from Amazon domains in several countries. It returns structured pricing information, including current price, original price, and discount percentage. Use it for price monitoring, deal hunting, or market research.

Supported Countries: United States, Canada, Australia, Germany, Spain, France, United Kingdom, Italy.

Key Features

• Two Operational Modes:
  • Check Prices by ASIN: Get pricing data for specific Amazon Standard Identification Numbers (ASINs). It returns the last known price even if a product is out of stock.
  • Find Price Drops / Popular Deals: Discover current deals and promotions based on category, search text, and minimum discount filters. Ideal for scheduled runs to track promotions over time.
• Multi-Country Support: Target specific Amazon marketplaces. The "Check Prices" process also supports an "Automatic" country mode, which tries countries sequentially until a price is found (use with caution).
• Price Alerting: For "Check Prices by ASIN," you can set an alertPrice. The actor will flag a priceAlert when the product's price meets or falls below your threshold.

How to Use

Choose your primary Process first, as it determines which other input fields are relevant.

Input Configuration

• Process (required): Choose between Check Prices by ASIN or Find Price Drops / Popular Deals.
• Country (required): Select the target Amazon marketplace (e.g., US, DE, UK).
• For "Check Prices by ASIN" Process:
  • ASIN (required): An array of valid ASINs (e.g., ["B07NY9ZT92", "B08N5WRWNW"]).
  • Alert Price: A number. Sets priceAlert: true in the output if the current price is at or below this value.
• For "Find Deals" Process:
  • Category/Sort By: Browse deals by Amazon category (note: some categories like 'gardening' are only available in specific countries like US/DE).
  • Search Text: Filters results after data is collected. If you scrape 3 pages, this text filters the results from those pages.
  • Minimum Discount: An integer percentage (e.g., 20 for 20% off or more).

Output Examples

Check Prices by ASIN returns an array of objects. Note: This does not verify stock status.
