If you’re looking for a simple and effective way to scrape Amazon product data, reviews, categories, seller feedback, and much more, then look no further than the Rainforest API, or the missing unofficial API for scraping publicly listed data from the Amazon website.
Rainforest is a separate service from us (also a paid service), but provides a very reliable and robust API for collecting public Amazon data. While there are some official Amazon APIs, they are typically restricted only to affiliates and have some heavy restrictions (e.g. only scraping data the affiliate has access to), and are not effective for monitoring prices, inventory, or having the freedom to scrape any seller’s data or pulling data from a distant category from what you typically scrape.
To get started, simply visit the Rainforest Site and register for a free API key with them. You’ll then be able to test their service out with our own free trial on this page, as we help you query the Rainforest API without having to write any code and then allow you to export this data as CSV files, which you can then open in Excel or upload to any other tool of your choice for research and analysis.
