Amazon Scraper Actor

Extract structured product data from Amazon, either from search results or directly from product pages. Data is saved to the default Apify Dataset.

Overview

This Actor scrapes Amazon for product information. You can provide search keywords to get listings from search results, or provide direct product URLs to get detailed page data. It returns structured data including pricing, ratings, availability, and metadata.

Key Features

• Dual Scraping Modes: Use search queries or direct product urls.
• Structured Output: Extracts ASIN, title, price, currency, brand, availability, star rating, review count, categories, and image URLs.
• Configurable Concurrency: Control the number of concurrent page fetches.
• Proxy Support: Built-in configuration for Apify Proxy to avoid blocks.
