Amazon Best Sellers API
Scrape Amazon Best Sellers data with one API call. Returns ranked Amazon Best Seller listings for a category: ASIN, title, price, rating, and image. Pass type to switch to New Releases, Most Wished For, or Gift Ideas. Movers and Shakers is accepted but currently returns an empty list at 0 credits, because Amazon publishes no Movers and Shakers rows on the marketplaces we checked. Amazon serves up to two pages of 50; a page past the last typically 503s and is refunded.
