Best Amazon Scrapers for 2024

What Is an Amazon Scraping API?

Amazon web scraping APIs are like remote servers that allow you to gather Amazon data. The way they work is simple – you make a request with your target URL and other parameters like geolocation to the API endpoint, and it accesses the website on your behalf. The API automatically applies anti-detection techniques to prevent blocks and brings back successful results.

Most web scraping APIs can scrape Amazon, but they return raw HTML. Some providers have built specialized APIs for e-commerce stores that can parse a page and extract only the valuable data points from it.

Why Pay for an Amazon Web Scraper?

A web scraping API isn’t the only way to go about Amazon scraping. You can build a scraper yourself with Python or another programming language of your choice, or go the easy way and purchase a no-code scraper. So, why should you pay for a specialized Amazon scraper?

Well, there are a few reasons for that. First and foremost, it’s specifically designed for Amazon. It’ll likely be faster when accessing target information and include features like CAPTCHA solving, proxies, and a data parser, so you won’t have to build or maintain one.

What’s more, you can integrate most Amazon web scrapers as a proxy server or an API. If you’re already using proxies, you won’t need to make any adjustments to your code with the proxy-like integration. API integration is relatively simple to use and can sometimes unlock additional features like making batch requests.

The Best Amazon Scraping APIs for 2024

1. Smartproxy

Affordable and performant scrapers for Amazon.

9.3/10 ★

Try 100 MB for free.

Locations: 150+ locations with up to ZIP code-level targeting
Pricing model: subscription; based on successful requests
Data parsing: yes
Free trial: 7-day free trial with 1K results & 14-day money-back guarantee

Smartproxy has a specialized e-commerce scraper. It covers the most popular targets including Amazon. The provider stands out with its award-winning customer service and the ability to get Amazon data with a nearly-perfect success rate.

The Amazon scraper is based on Smartproxy’s large proxy network. The provider has a wide location coverage – you can target any country worldwide.

The scraper integrates as an API or a proxy server and returns results via an open connection. Simply put, you send requests to an API endpoint and wait for the response. Smartproxy uses the POST method – it sends your parameters to the API as a JSON payload.

You can choose a device type and domain, and parse the main Amazon elements like product information, reviews, questions, search pages, and more. Smartproxy allows you to download results in HTML, JSON, or table formats. However, this functionality isn’t available with cheaper subscriptions.

Smartproxy offers two pricing plans: Core and Advanced. The Core plan is more limited, providing access to only eight locations and excluding features like task scheduling, a premium proxy pool, JavaScript rendering, and pre-built templates. But it’s designed to be budget-friendly, costing as little as $0.29 per 1,000 requests. The Advanced plan, on the other hand, includes all features but is priced similarly to other comparable products on the market.

2. Oxylabs

Feature-rich Amazon scraper.

9.3/10 ★

Locations: 150+ locations with up to ZIP code-level targeting
Pricing model: subscription; based on successful requests
Data parsing: yes
Free trial: 7-day trial with 5K results
Pricing starts from: $49 for 24,500 results ($2/1K)

Oxylabs offers a general-purpose web scraping API with dedicated endpoints for Amazon. The web scraper is packed with advanced features and delivers exceptional performance on Amazon.

Among the providers we tested, Oxylabs’ scraper API is the only tool bundled with both scheduler and crawler features. The scraper integrates as a proxy or API. The latter method allows you to send batch requests and receive results on demand via webhook.

Oxylabs allows you to extract structured data in JSON format from various Amazon properties, including product pages, search results, reviews, merchants, and more. Additionally, you can write custom parsing instructions using XPath and CSS selectors.

A standout feature of Oxylabs’ scraper is OxyPilot, an AI-powered assistant that automatically generates code for scraping requests and parsing instructions. You can access this functionality through the Scraper API Playground.

Oxylabs charges based on successful results. The starting price is slightly higher than average, but considering the features it offers, the cost is adequate. However, there is no pay-as-you-go option.

For more information and performance tests, read our Oxylabs review.

3. Zyte

The fastest Amazon scraper.

8.8/10 ★

Locations: 150+ locations with country-level targeting
Pricing model: pay as you go, subscription; credit-based
Data parsing: yes
Free trial: $5 platform credits for 30 days
Pricing starts from: custom

Zyte has developed a robust ecosystem for web scraping. Its ZyteAPI is a general-purpose API with a strong focus on Amazon, and it’s the fastest scraper on this list.

The provider uses a system that automatically matches the location with your URL, but you can manually select from 19 locations if needed. While Zyte primarily caters to developers, it also offers a no-code interface for users with limited scraping experience.

Zyte features an AI-powered parser designed for e-commerce product pages, including Amazon, and provides an API playground that generates code snippets based on your chosen parameters.

The provider has the most customizable approach to headless scraping: enterprise clients can access a TypeScript API with scripting functionality. However, the scraper lacks a built-in parser, though you can design one using CSS selectors.

Zyte dynamically calculates request costs based on the target website and selected features. You can get an estimate through Zyte’s dashboard.

For more information and performance tests, read our Zyte review.

4. ScraperAPI

Performant Amazon scraper for smaller customers.

Locations: US & EU (50+ countries available upon request)
Pricing model: subscription; credit-based
Data parsing: yes
Free trial: 7-day free trial with 5K credits
Pricing starts from: $49 a month for 100K API credits

ScraperAPI is another general-purpose scraper that can be used to gather data from Amazon. It’s a versatile tool offering basic features at a relatively low cost.

You can integrate the tool four ways: as a proxy server, through an SDK, via an open connection, or using asynchronous integration. By adding specific parameters to its scraper, ScraperAPI can parse key Amazon properties like search results, product pages, and reviews.

The provider offers a free plan with 1,000 API credits per month, as well as a 7-day free trial with 5,000 free requests to test the API on a larger scale. In terms of targeting, you can access any of the 12 available locations spread across the US and EU with more available upon request.

However, ScraperAPI is expensive if you need advanced features such as proxies – they will consume more credits, so be careful going big.

5. Bright Data

The most versatile Amazon scrapers.

9.3/10 ★

Add up to $500 to your account and get double the amount.

Locations: 150+ locations with city & ASN-level targeting
Pricing model: pay as you go, subscription; based on successful requests
Data parsing: yes (Web Scraper API)
Free trial: 7-day free trial for companies
Pricing starts from:
– Web Unlocker: $3 for 1K results
– Specialized web scraper API: $1 for 1K results
– Datasets: $500 for 200K records ($2.5/1K)

Bright Data offers three tools for targeting Amazon: two general-purpose scrapers – Web Scraper API with dedicated endpoints for Amazon and proxy-based Web Unlocker – as well as datasets.

If you prefer not to handle scraping yourself, the provider has pre-built Amazon datasets. You can retrieve the data in your preferred format (CSV, JSON, or Excel) and store the results in AWS, Google Drive, or Google Cloud Storage. Additionally, you can build custom Amazon datasets using various filters.

If you are familiar with the way proxies work and want to have more control over your web scraping project, go with Bright Data’s Web Unlocker. It’s fully capable of accessing Amazon in the meantime taking care of your browser fingerprinting and other roadblocks you might encounter. However, you won’t be able to get structured results.

The most advanced way you can go about scraping Amazon with Bright Data, is to use Web Scraper API that comes with several dedicated endpoints for Amazon like products, reviews, sellers information, and more. It’s a cloud-based service that comes with features like bulk request handling, data discovery and automated validation. Additionally, the scrapers are able to parse data.

As a premium provider with such versatile tools, Bright Data is quite expensive. While you can save money by paying as you go, monthly subscriptions start at $499.

6. Nimbleway

AI-powered Amazon scraper.

8.7/10 ★

Locations: 150+ locations with country, state, and city-level targeting
Pricing model: pay as you go, subscription; credit-based
Data parsing: yes
Free trial: available
Pricing starts from: $3 per 1K results or $150 for 150 credits

Nimbleway’s API comes with some fancy AI tricks up its sleeve and template APIs for e-commerce websites like Amazon.

The E-commerce API supports three delivery methods: real-time delivery, cloud storage, or storing data on Nimbleway’s servers for later download. Structured data can also be delivered directly to your S3 or GCS buckets. Additionally, the API allows you to send asynchronous requests, so you can run tasks in the background.

Nimbleway provides features like bulk scraping, which allows you to process up to 1,000 URLs in a single batch. You can customize parameters such as geolocation, parsing, and other settings on a per-URL basis. The provider allows precise targeting, down to specific cities within any country.

Parsing capabilities are powered by Nimble Skills, which use contextual data profiles optimized for specific website target groups, including e-commerce.

While Nimbleway’s pricing is slightly higher than average, it offers flexible options, including pay-as-you-go and subscription plans. However, advanced features such as header control and unlimited concurrent requests are only available with the two highest-tier subscriptions.

For more information and performance tests, read our Nimbleway review.

7. NetNut

Amazon scraper for enterprise.

9.0/10 ★

Use the code PWYNTNT to get a 15% discount.

Locations: 150+ locations with country-level targeting
Pricing model: subscription; based on successful requests
Data parsing: no
Free trial: 7-day free trial for companies
Pricing starts from: custom

Even though NetNut doesn’t have a dedicated scraper for Amazon, its Website Unblocker delivered good results when scraping Amazon.

The scraper integrates as a proxy server and includes all the features other proxy-based APIs offer – JavaScript rendering, CAPTCHA handling, proxy selection, and more. However, it also comes with the same limitations – no city-level targeting or built-in parsing capabilities.

That said, these limitations don’t hold the tool back – NetNut’s Website Unblocker achieved an almost perfect success rate and a respectable response time compared to top options like Smartproxy and Oxylabs.

NetNut is a “silent squirrel” – the provider doesn’t disclose the prices for its web scraping tools, including the Website Unblocker. Your only option is to reach out to the provider for a custom offer. However, the indicative pricing starts at $20.

For more information and performance tests, read our NetNut review.

8. SOAX

Amazon scraper with the most flexible targeting options.

9.0/10 ★

Use the code proxyway to get 20% off.

Locations: 150+ countries with country, city, or zip code level targeting (Ecommerce API)
Pricing model: pay as you go, subscription; based on successful requests
Data parsing: yes
Free trial: available
Pricing starts from: $15 for 1000 requests ($2.10/1K) or $99/month ($2.00/1K)

SOAX is another provider that offers a specialized e-commerce scraper for Amazon.

You can customize your requests for the most relevant data using language, domain, and response encoding parameters. The API will return your structured data in a format that can be easily imported into Excel or Google Sheets.

SOAX has very flexible targeting options – you can target your requests to the country, city, or zip code level. The API allows you to have multiple concurrent requests, but the number depends on the pricing plan you choose.

You can also get its proxy-based API – Web Unblocker – that we tested on Amazon. However, SOAX was twice as slow (and in some cases four times slower) when opening Amazon than the competition. Additionally, it costs about the same as premium providers.

For more information and performance tests, read our SOAX review.
