How to Extract Amazon Best Sellers?

For a stepwise tutorial on How to Extract Amazon Best Sellers, check out our tutorial on Amazon Best Sellers Scraper API.

Input Parameters

You can scrape Amazon Best Sellers in two ways, by Amazon URL or Domain.

  • Extracting by domain will deliver Amazon data from one of the six existing Amazon domains.
  • Extracting by Amazon URL will deliver each detail of the selected category and subcategory. You scrape any number of URLs you wish to.

Check this input example for Amazon URL.

Advice

  • This Amazon API scrapes the top thirty-seven Best Seller subcategories by default. You can add a deep-level extraction to enable you to scrape top-selling products from the first level of essential category subcategories.
  • The default depth of the loading Is restricted to two subdivisions. This limitation has something to do with it. Begin the main category, and extract two departments. Later, delete clone category links from there and add them again into the input of scraper.

Proxy Configuration

The proxy configuration allows you to set up proxy servers that the scraper uses to prevent target website detections. You can have a customized SOCKS5 or HTTP proxy server or try a Real Data API proxy.

You can follow the below list to configure a proxy server.

Automated Real Data API Proxy:

The API will crawl each webpage with Real Data API proxy automatically. Here, the proxy server uses all the existing proxy groups. For every new page, it selects the unused proxy with the particular hostname to reduce the probability of detection by the source website. You can check the list of existing proxy groups on the available proxy page on our platform.

Selected Groups of Real Data API Proxy:

The actor will crawl all the pages with Real Data API proxy servers with particular target groups of servers.

Customized Proxy Servers:

The API uses a customized list of proxies. You should mention these proxies in the scheme://user:password@host:port form and separate multiple proxies by a new line or a space. Further, you can use HTTP or SOCKS5 URL scheme where you should always use ports and can omit user and password.
