No-Code Amazon API Scraper

No-Code Amazon Scraper

Scraping data from Amazon is incredibly easy thanks to Rainforest API, the missing Amazon scraping API for product data. In conjunction with our Amazon scraping tools that works on top of Rainforest’s Amazon scraper API, you’ll be able to scrape almost anything from Amazon to Excel spreadsheets files such as product prices, customer reviews, product images and more without writing a single line of code.

We suggest checking out the Rainforest Product Data API to get a feel for what they support, such as Amazon price scraping to Excel via our Amazon product scraper integration.

If you’re not used to interacting with APIs directly, you can browse our links above to try some popular use cases, such as scraping all products from a category which we’ll cover quickly below with our Amazon data scraper.

Rainforest also supports other data scraping use cases for extracting data on Amazon search results, competitor products, product lists, product reviews & much more you can use with our Amazon web scraper.

1. Register for Rainforest API

To start web scraping Amazon data, you’ll need to sign up for Rainforest with your business contact details and you’ll receive a free trial of 100 credits. You can query Rainforest on your own to get back data in JSON format, or use our freemium service to convert this data into CSV files.

2. Select a Category

One popular use case is extracting product lists from a category on Amazon for market research. You’ll first need to select a Category ID using the Rainforest Category Selector which supports free text search to target your data extraction for any category you’re interested in.

Try with any category you’re interested and take note of the Category ID, e.g. 979834011 for Bottles & Brewing product data to scrape Amazon product data.

3. Download Amazon Product Data

Now use our Amazon Product Category Web Scraper which will ask you for your category ID & Rainforest API key and automatically query the Rainforest API to scrape product details in that category.

You’ll notice some useful product fields such as:

• Product Description
• ASIN
• Amazon URL
• Image URL
• Average Rating
• Number of Reviews
• If it’s a Sponsored Ad
• Price
• Recent Sales Volume (e.g. “1K+ bought in past month”)
• Availability (e.g. “Only 7 left in stock - order soon.”)
• Deals
• Bestsellers
• Other Categories

Scraping 1,000s of Products

You’ll notice that the Rainforest API only returned the first page of results in the previous screenshot. But don’t worry, as we can automatically paginate through the API to download all of the results using the Rainforest Amazon Category Products Pagination Workflow and similar workflows. These scraping solutions automatically scrape all the pages of a given category (or list of categories) so you can efficiently get bulk product information from Amazon without writing any code.

Amazon Data for Businesses

If you’re in e-commerce, then Amazon’s product catalog, pricing, seller ratings, inventories, offers, etc… are mandatory pieces of data you need to be tracking to stay competitive. Use Amazon product data to stay on top of what manufacturers are selling in your niche, track sales & pricing data, reviews & much more. For frequent Amazon buyers or wholesalers, having this data can be very useful as well to hook into your systems to ensure you’re able to fulfill orders on time.
