Decoding Amazon's Search Engine with the Product Search API

Real-time Scraping

The Amazon Product Search API allows users to scrape search results from Amazon's search engine in real-time. This feature is particularly useful for staying updated with the latest product offerings and trends on Amazon.

A GET request to the endpoint `/api/getter/?platform="amazon_search"` is all it takes to initiate the scraping process. For instance, searching for 'pillow' will yield current results related to pillows available on Amazon.

Comprehensive Data Retrieval

Each request made to the Amazon Product Search API returns up to 60 results, providing a comprehensive overview of the search query. The data includes detailed attributes for each product such as name, URL, thumbnail, rating, total ratings, price, currency, currency symbol, sponsorship status, and sales volume in the past month.

Cost of Requests

The cost of using the Amazon Product Search API is calculated based on the number of records returned. Each request costs 1 credit, and a typical response includes 24 to 48 results. This pricing model ensures that users only pay for the data they retrieve, making it cost-effective for various applications.

Supported Countries

The API supports scraping Amazon's search results from various countries. While the list of supported countries is not provided in the content, users can request data from countries where Amazon operates.
