Amazon Product Search Scraper

🔍 Amazon Product Search Scraper – Overview

The Amazon Product Search Scraper extracts structured product information from Amazon search results based on the keywords you provide. It is designed for product research, price monitoring, catalog discovery, market analysis, competitive research, and other workflows that require organized Amazon product data.

Instead of manually opening Amazon search pages and copying product details, you can enter one or more search keywords and let the Actor collect matching product pages and extract useful information such as product titles, ASINs, URLs, prices, categories, ratings, review counts, descriptions, and product images.

🛍️ Amazon Product Search Scraper – Key Features

The Amazon Product Search Scraper focuses on turning Amazon keyword searches into structured product datasets.

🔎 Keyword-Based Amazon Search

Provide one or more search phrases through the keywords input. Examples include:

• gaming laptop
• iphone 15 case
• wireless headphones
• running shoes
• coffee maker

The Actor processes each keyword separately and discovers product listings from Amazon search pages.

📦 Product Information Extraction

For each successfully processed product page, the Actor can collect:

• ASIN
• Product title
• Product URL
• Product description from available feature bullets
• Breadcrumb category path
• Rating text
• Current/available price
• Original price
• Discount percentage when available
• Review count
• Product image URLs
• Product thumbnail

🔢 Configurable Result Limit

The maxItems input controls how many products are collected for each keyword.

For example, with three keywords and maxItems set to 10, the Actor attempts to process up to 10 products for each keyword.

⚠️ Important: The supplied code resets the item counter for every keyword. Therefore, maxItems behaves as a per-keyword limit rather than a single global limit across all keywords.

🌐 Proxy Configuration

The Actor accepts an Apify proxy configuration through the proxyConfiguration input. This allows the run to use the proxy settings selected in the Actor interface.

The provided input configuration is prefilled to use a residential proxy group, but the exact availability and cost of proxy usage depend on the Apify account and configuration being used.

📊 Amazon Product Search Scraper – What Data You Can Extract

The Amazon Product Search Scraper produces structured product records suitable for analysis, storage, filtering, and downstream processing.

📋 Output data available

• ASIN — Amazon Standard Identification Number extracted from the product URL when available.
• Title — Product title.
• URL — Product page URL.
• Description — Product feature bullet content combined into a text value when available.
• Categories — Breadcrumb-style category path.
• Stars text — Available Amazon rating text.
• Discount price — Current product price when available.
• Discount percent — Displayed discount percentage when available.
• Available price — Current price detected from the product page.
• Currency — Currency value returned by the Actor.
• Original price — Original or struck-through price when available.
• Review count — Customer review count text.
• Images — Collected product image URLs.
• Thumbnail — First available product image URL.

The Actor returns "Not Available" when a supported field cannot be found on a particular product page. This makes the output more predictable when Amazon presents different page structures or incomplete product information.

The images field can contain multiple image URLs, making it useful for product cataloging and visual product research.

🧭 Amazon Product Search Scraper – How to Use It

Using the Amazon Product Search Scraper requires only a few configuration steps.

1. Enter Search Keywords

Open the Actor input and add one or more phrases to the keywords list.

Example:

{
  "keywords": [
    "gaming laptop",
    "iphone 15 case"
  ]
}

Each keyword is processed independently.

2. Set the Maximum Number of Products

Use maxItems to specify how many products the Actor should attempt to collect for each keyword.

Example:

{
  "maxItems": 20
}

A larger value allows the Actor to continue through additional Amazon search result pages when available.

3. Configure the Proxy

The Actor accepts the Apify proxyConfiguration object.

Example:

{
  "proxyConfiguration": {
    "useApifyProxy": true,
    "apifyProxyGroups": [
      "RESIDENTIAL"
    ]
  }
}

The available proxy choices depend on the Apify environment and your account configuration.

4. Start the Actor

After entering your keywords, result limit, and proxy settings, start the run.

The Actor searches Amazon, discovers product listings, visits product pages, extracts supported fields, and stores the resulting records in the Actor dataset.

🧾 Amazon Product Search Scraper – Input

The Actor currently supports three input properties.

Input	Type	Required	Purpose
keywords	Array of strings	Yes	Amazon search phrases to process
maxItems	Integer	No	Maximum products processed for each keyword
proxyConfiguration	Object	Yes	Apify proxy configuration

🔍 keywords

This is the main search input.

Example:

{
  "keywords": [
    "gaming laptop",
    "mechanical keyboard",
    "usb c hub"
  ]
}

You can provide several keywords in the same run.

🔢 maxItems

This integer controls the product limit for each keyword.

The Actor configuration specifies a default of 5.

Example:

{
  "maxItems": 5
}

The Actor can continue across multiple search-result pages until the per-keyword limit is reached or no further results can be processed.

🌐 proxyConfiguration

This object defines the proxy configuration used by the Actor.

A residential proxy configuration is provided as the default prefill in the Actor configuration. Users can adjust the proxy selection according to their available Apify proxy setup.

✅ Input note: The current Actor schema supports keywords, maxItems, and proxyConfiguration. It does not expose startUrls as an input field, so Amazon product searches should be initiated through keywords.

🧪 Amazon Product Search Scraper – Input Example

A complete example configuration can look like this:

{
  "keywords": [
    "gaming laptop",
    "iphone 15 case",
    "wireless headphones"
  ],
  "maxItems": 10,
  "proxyConfiguration": {
    "useApifyProxy": true,
    "apifyProxyGroups": [
      "RESIDENTIAL"
    ]
  }
}

This configuration tells the Actor to process three independent Amazon searches and attempt to collect up to 10 products for each keyword.

📤 Amazon Product Search Scraper – Output Example

A typical dataset record follows this structure:

{
  "asin": "B0XXXXXXXXXX",
  "title": "Example Gaming Laptop",
  "url": "https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0XXXXXXXXXX",
  "description": "High-performance processor\n16GB RAM\n512GB SSD",
  "categories": "Computers > Laptops",
  "stars_text": "4.5 out of 5 stars",
  "discount_price": "$999.99",
  "discount_percent": "-10%",
  "available_price": "$999.99",
  "currency": "$",
  "original_price": "$1,099.99",
  "review_count": "1,234 ratings",
  "images": [
    "https://example.com/product-image.jpg"
  ],
  "thumbnail": "https://example.com/product-image.jpg"
}

The exact values depend on what information is available on the Amazon product page during the run.

📌 Data consistency note: Some fields may contain "Not Available" when the corresponding information cannot be found. The discount_percent field is populated when a discount percentage is detected; otherwise it remains unavailable.

🔎 How to Scrape Amazon Products by Keyword

To perform Amazon product search scraping by keyword, add your target product terms to the keywords array.

For example:

{
  "keywords": [
    "best office chair",
    "standing desk",
    "desk lamp"
  ],
  "maxItems": 15
}

The Actor searches Amazon for each term and extracts product records from the available results.

This approach is useful when your research starts with product categories rather than known product URLs. You can search broad categories, specific product types, brands, use cases, or shopping phrases and then analyze the returned catalog.

The Actor may continue to later Amazon result pages when additional products are needed to reach the configured per-keyword limit.

---

📦 What Happens During an Amazon Product Search Scrape?

The Amazon Product Search Scraper follows a straightforward user-facing workflow.

Step 1: Search

Your keyword is used to create an Amazon product search.

Step 2: Discover Products

The Actor identifies product entries available in the search results and obtains their product links.

Step 3: Collect Product Details

The discovered product pages are processed to extract the supported product information.

Step 4: Store Structured Results

Each successfully processed product is pushed into the Apify dataset as a structured record.

This makes the resulting Amazon product search data easier to inspect and process than manually collected search results.

💵 Amazon Product Search Scraper – Pricing

No fixed Actor price is specified in the provided actor.json or source code.

The supplied files also do not define a custom per-result, per-event, or subscription price for this Actor. Therefore, a specific dollar amount should not be claimed in this README.

💡 Pricing note: Your actual run cost can depend on the Apify platform, compute usage, and proxy resources selected for the run. Check the current pricing displayed in your Apify account and Actor interface before large-scale scraping.

The Actor itself does not provide enough configuration information to establish a fixed price per product.

⚙️ Tips and Best Practices for Amazon Product Search Scraper

For reliable Amazon product search workflows, use focused keywords and an appropriate result limit.

🎯 Use Specific Keywords

Specific phrases generally make the resulting product dataset easier to analyze.

For example:

gaming laptop 16gb
wireless noise cancelling headphones
iphone 15 silicone case

are more targeted than a very broad term such as:

electronics

🔢 Choose a Practical maxItems

Start with a smaller result count when testing a new keyword set. Increase the value when you need a broader product sample.

Remember that the current implementation applies the item counter separately for each keyword.

🌐 Review Proxy Settings

The Actor requires proxyConfiguration. Make sure your selected proxy configuration is available and suitable for the intended workload.

🧹 Handle Missing Values

Not every Amazon product exposes the same information. Your downstream workflow should expect fields containing "Not Available".

📊 Validate Results Before Large Runs

Run a small test with a few products first. Review titles, URLs, prices, categories, images, and other fields before increasing the result volume.
