Amazon API & Data Access
Notes
These are unofficial Amazon API endpoints useful for scraping public data such as product information, photos and pricing. They are made available for unofficial use and experimentation, such as for security research, use at your own risk!
These endpoints were uncovered from Amazon’s iOS app using MITM proxy interception, meaning that these endpoints are unlikely to change too much as mobile clients tend to stick around in the wild for a while. Hence, it should be safe to assume these won’t change too much over the next few years.
Rate Limiting
Please be considerate when requesting data through these endpoints or Amazon may block your requesting IP address. We don’t recommend exceeding one request per second per proxy.
Read Only
These endpoints are “read only” and only allow you to scrape data.
Official API
There are a few official Amazon APIs you can look at for getting product data, but they require approval and are intended for companies with an established resale presence:
