FAQ

Have a question? We got answers

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

Do I need a Amazon developer account to scrape Amazon products?

No. SocialCrawl handles authentication and proxies upstream, so you never register a Amazon app, manage OAuth tokens, or run your own scrapers. One API key returns Amazon data directly.

What does the Amazon Product endpoint return?

It returns a product's title, price, rating, review count, images, and specifications by ASIN and country. The response is normalized into SocialCrawl's unified schema, identical in shape across every platform.

How much does it cost to scrape Amazon products?

Each call costs a small number of credits, and new accounts start with free credits. There are no monthly minimums, so you pay only for the calls you make.

Can I use this cURL code in production?

Yes. The snippet on this page is the real request against the live API. For production, add error handling and follow the response cursor to paginate through large result sets.
