# Amazon Data API (https://www.socialcrawl.dev/platforms/amazon)

> Amazon API: 5 endpoints for influencer shop pages, keyword product search, full product detail, product reviews, and seller profiles. Endpoints run on the standard (1 credit) and advanced (5 credit) tiers, with 100 free credits on signup and no card. Product, review, and seller data without proxy management, CAPTCHA solving, or an Amazon Associates account.

TL;DR: SocialCrawl's Amazon API exposes 5 endpoints, 1 to 5 credits per call, all returning one unified JSON schema with AI-enriched fields. Single x-api-key auth, 100 free credits on signup.

## Endpoints

| Endpoint | Method | Path | Credits | Description |

  -H "x-api-key: sc_YOUR_API_KEY"
```

Every response shares one JSON envelope: `{ success, platform, endpoint, data, credits_used, credits_remaining }`.

## FAQ

### How do I scrape Amazon influencer shops with an API?

SocialCrawl provides 5 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 44 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 5 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: 5 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.
