Returns the products featured on an Amazon shop or storefront page: product name, price, rating, and image for each item.

Use it when you have a storefront page URL and want what that seller puts on it, rather than searching the whole catalogue.

How the Amazon API works

Amazon is a normal SocialCrawl commerce surface. You call GET /v1/amazon/… with an API key, spend credits on live misses, and get a single JSON envelope back.

Authenticate every call

Send your key in the x-api-key header. No Amazon OAuth app for public reads. The same key works across SocialCrawl platforms.

GET with query params

All Amazon routes are GET. Pass asin, query, url, country, depth as query strings. We validate formats before charging.

Pay in credits, not seats

Shop, search, and sellers cost 1 credit. Product and reviews cost 5 credits. Cache hits cost 0. Empty or hard failures refund.

Read one JSON envelope

Every response is the same shape: success, data, credits_used, credits_remaining, request_id, cached. Lists also carry pagination when the route pages.

The usual integration chain

Most products search first, then deepen only the ASINs that matter for detail, reviews, and sellers.

01Search

GET /v1/amazon/product-search?query=…

ProductList with ASINs, titles, prices

Resolve candidates before you spend advanced credits on detail.

02Product

GET /v1/amazon/product?asin=…

Full Product for one ASIN

Search cards are not a full PDP.

03Reviews

GET /v1/amazon/reviews?asin=…

ReviewList for the ASIN

VoC text lives on reviews, not product.

04Sellers

GET /v1/amazon/sellers?asin=…

SellerList of offers for the ASIN

Price and seller competition is a separate read.

What lands in data

Field names match other SocialCrawl commerce platforms. Parse once, reuse across Amazon, Walmart, and Target.

Productproduct

id (ASIN), title, price, rating, images, attributes, url, country context

ProductList / Postproduct-search, shop

items or shop cards with title, price, rating, ASIN or product url

ReviewListreviews

items[] with author, content.text, rating, published_at

SellerListsellers

offer rows: seller, price, condition, fulfillment hints

Inside the gateway

Same request lifecycle as every other /v1 platform endpoint. Amazon is not a sidecar.

Edge receives the call

Next.js catch-all routes into the Hono social API. We mint a request_id, authenticate the key, then enforce rate limit (600/min) and concurrency (50 in flight per key).

Validate, then debit

Registry lookup finds amazon/product-search (or product, reviews, sellers). Required params and format checks run first. Invalid input returns 400 with no charge. Valid calls debit the tier cost atomically before upstream work.

Cache or fetch

A deterministic cache key is built from platform + resource + params. Hit: return immediately, credits_used = 0. Miss: product, reviews, search, and sellers run as live merchant reads; shop resolves from the storefront URL. Retries on 5xx/network with a circuit breaker if the source is unhealthy.

Normalize and return

Upstream JSON is mapped to commerce archetypes (Product, ProductList, ReviewList, SellerList, App, PlaceList as applicable), validated against the canonical Zod schema, then wrapped in the success envelope and logged for billing audit.

Billing rules that matter in production

Shop / product-search / sellers live miss: 1 credit
Product by ASIN: 5 credits
Reviews by ASIN: 5 credits
Cache hit: 0 credits
Empty / hard fail: auto-refund
Bad params: 400, never charged
No credits: 402, never charged
country selects the Amazon marketplace
No cart, buy, or seller-write routes

How we get the data

Amazon is public marketplace data. We normalize it into the SocialCrawl commerce schema so your code does not learn a second merchant SDK.

What Amazon is for this API

Public product search, PDP detail, reviews, seller offers, and influencer shop pages. Read-only. No purchase or Seller Central access.

How SocialCrawl reaches it

Product, reviews, search, and sellers are read live from Amazon's public marketplace surface. Shop pages resolve from the storefront URL you pass. One SocialCrawl key covers all of them.

What leaves our edge

A unified JSON envelope with Product, ProductList, ReviewList, and SellerList archetypes shared across commerce platforms.

What we do not ship live

No cart, checkout, inventory, or advertising write APIs. No private Seller Central metrics.

ASIN research, review mining, and offer monitoring

Callers search by keyword, resolve ASINs, then fan out to product, reviews, and sellers. ASIN product and reviews at a flat 5 credits, sellers and search at 1, one key across SocialCrawl.

Search and detail are typically a few seconds on live miss. Cold marketplace queries can run longer.

What people build with the Amazon API

The jobs Amazon data is most often used for. Each one is a full recipe with the endpoint chain and pricing.

Review intelligenceProduct, category and seller lookups on the same key. Amazon review extraction is the least stable source we carry, so build the review layer on Trustpilot and the app stores and treat Amazon as supporting evidence.

Use case examples

Common ways teams put this data to work, and the stack each one tends to run.

Category managers

Python, notebooks, BI

product-search by keyword, then product and sellers for shortlists of ASINs.

Voice-of-customer teams

Node, warehouses

Pull reviews by ASIN for brand and competitor language. Advanced tier, cache friendly on repeats.

Pricing ops

Go, workers

sellers plus product for offer and list-price checks on a fixed ASIN set.

Call it in two lines

Search and sellers are 1 credit. Product and reviews are 5. Cache hits are free.

Comparison

How does SocialCrawl compare to Amazon PA-API for Amazon data?

Same Amazon data, two very different paths. Auth, rate limits, schema, and cost, side by side.

Feature	SocialCrawl	Amazon PA-API
Authentication	One x-api-key header; works the moment you sign up	Requires an Amazon Associates account with qualifying affiliate sales
Setup	One GET request; no SDK or request signing required	Signed requests via AWS-style credentials and the PA-API SDK
Rate limits / quotas	Flat credit pricing regardless of sales volume	Request quota scales with the affiliate revenue you generate
Response schema	Unified commerce schema shared with Google Shopping and Trustpilot	PA-API-specific resources model built around affiliate use cases
Data coverage	Shop pages, product search, detail, full review text, and seller profiles	Strong product catalog data, but no customer review text and no influencer shops
Pricing	Standard calls cost 1 credit, advanced 5; 100 free credits at signup	Free, but access lapses if your affiliate sales drop

FAQ

Have a question? We got answers

Find answers to frequently asked questions about SocialCrawl's API, pricing, and capabilities.

How do I scrape Amazon influencer shops with an API?

SocialCrawl provides 8 Amazon endpoints: influencer shops, product search, product detail, reviews, and sellers. For shops, send a GET request to /v1/amazon/shop with the shop URL and receive shop info, products, prices, ASINs, and images in a unified JSON response.

What data does the SocialCrawl Amazon API return?

The endpoint returns the shop name and bio, the influencer's name and avatar, and a products array, each item with title, price, ASIN, image URL, and Amazon product URL. All fields follow our unified schema shared across 51 platforms.

How much does the SocialCrawl Amazon Shop API cost?

Each Amazon shop request costs 1 credit on the standard tier. New accounts get 100 free credits with no credit card required, so you can pull around 100 shops before paying anything.

Is scraping Amazon shop pages legal?

SocialCrawl reads only publicly accessible Amazon shop pages, the same content anyone can see by visiting the URL. You are responsible for making sure your use case complies with Amazon's terms of service and applicable data protection laws. SocialCrawl operates under a documented GDPR legitimate-interest framework: public, logged-out data only, no credential use, short-lived caches (2 to 30 minutes) with no persistent store, and a public opt-out channel for anyone whose public info appears in responses. Full details: socialcrawl.dev/legal/public-data-notice.

Can I use the Amazon API in production?

Yes. The endpoint is built for production workloads with consistent response times, upstream retry handling, and a unified schema that stays stable when Amazon changes their page layout.

What is the best Amazon scraper API?

SocialCrawl's Amazon API gives you 8 endpoints: influencer shops, product search, product detail, reviews, and sellers, in one unified schema, with no Associates account, proxy pool, or CAPTCHA handling. Standard calls cost 1 credit, advanced 5, and new accounts start with 100 free credits, no credit card required.

Is there an Amazon data API?

Yes. Amazon runs official APIs, the Selling Partner API for your own seller account and the Product Advertising API for Associates, but both are gated behind account approval and qualifying sales, and the PA-API returns no customer review text. SocialCrawl reads public Amazon data without those gates: 8 endpoints cover influencer shop pages, keyword product search, full product detail, product reviews, and seller profiles in the commerce schema shared with Google Shopping and Trustpilot. Standard calls cost 1 credit, advanced 5, and signup includes 100 free credits.

Amazon scraping API vs the official Amazon API: what's the difference?

With SocialCrawl there is no app review or approval queue. Sign up and call Amazon endpoints immediately with a single x-api-key. Responses share one unified schema with every other SocialCrawl platform, and credit-based pricing replaces per-platform quotas. Official APIs are still the right choice for posting and other write actions: SocialCrawl is read-only data.
