Amazon scraper and API skills
Site: amazon.com
Amazon has no open product API — the Product Advertising API requires affiliate status and covers neither search, Best Sellers rank, nor the cart. These Amazon scraper skills drive the real site through the Browserless MCP and return structured JSON: product search across the full filter surface, KDP niche research, and cart actions.
Working with Amazon
- A residential proxy is mandatory; running bare returns an immediate Robot Check.
- The homepage is warmed in the same proxy session before any search or product URL — a cold navigation returns Amazon's error page.
- Search result pages are read with a targeted evaluator rather than a full snapshot, which Amazon's result markup defeats.

KDP Nonfiction Niche Finder
Validate a nonfiction book niche on Amazon against the four KDP niche-finder rules (BSR < 100k, 50-300 reviews, price floor $9.99+, and a 3-star review gap) by gathering market data from book search and product pages. Read-only.

Amazon Product Search
Search Amazon for products matching a query with the full filter surface (department, brand, rating, price, deals, condition, sort, pagination) and return structured JSON per result: ASIN, title, price, rating, badges, image, and canonical /dp/ URL.
Amazon scraping questions
- Does Amazon have an API?
- No. The Product Advertising API is limited to approved affiliates, and even then it does not cover search results, Best Sellers rank or the cart.
- Is scraping Amazon legal?
- Reading data that Amazon publishes publicly is generally treated as lawful in the US — hiQ v. LinkedIn found that scraping a public site does not by itself violate the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act. That is not the whole question: Amazon's terms of service, its robots.txt, the rate at which you request pages, and any personal or copyrighted data you collect all carry their own obligations, and the rules differ outside the US. These skills read public pages at human-scale rates and never bypass a login. Treat this as background, not legal advice.
- What data can I extract from Amazon?
- ASIN, product title, price, star rating and review count, Best Sellers Rank, and cart state after an add-to-cart.
