An Amazon scraper automatically collects publicly available data from Amazon pages, so you don't have to copy it by hand. Give it a URL, an ASIN, a search term or a seller ID, and it returns structured Amazon product data such as the title, price, ASIN and image URL.
This page covers two ways to scrape Amazon:
- Free Amazon Scraper: an open-source Python tool that saves Amazon product data from any department page to a CSV file. Best for small, one-off jobs.
- Oxylabs Web API: a managed service that handles proxy rotation, request management and parsing, and returns real-time structured data from Amazon at scale.
A free tool used to get Amazon product data for any provided Amazon department page.
To run this tool, you need to have Python 3.11 installed in your system.
Open up a terminal window, navigate to this repository and run this command:
make installFirst off, open up Amazon and select a department from which you want to scrape.
For this example, we'll be using the Computers & Accessories department.
After the page loads, simply copy the URL in the browser and save it. We'll need it for scraping product data for that department.
To get data for products listed on the department page you chose, simply run this command in your terminal:
make scrape URL="<amazon_department_page_url>"With the URL we retrieved earlier, the command would look like this:
make scrape URL="https://www.amazon.com/s?i=specialty-aps&bbn=16225009011&rh=n%3A%2116225009011%2Cn%3A541966&ref=nav_em__nav_desktop_sa_intl_computers_and_accessories_0_2_5_6"Make sure to surround the URL with quotation marks, otherwise the tool might have trouble parsing it.
After running the command, your terminal should look something like this:
If a listed product is out of stock, the tool will notify you with a message, as shown above.
After the tool has finished running, you should see a file named amazon_products.csv in your directory.
The generated CSV file contains data with these columns inside it:
title- The title of the product.url- The URL pointing to the product's Amazon page.asin_code- The product's unique ASIN code.image_url- The URL of the image that contains the product.price- The price of the product. This field can be empty, if the product is out of stock.
The data should look something like this:
In case the code doesn't work or your project is of bigger scale, please refer to the second part of the tutorial. There, we showcase how to scrape public data with Oxylabs Web API.
Alternatively, you can use Oxylabs Amazon Scraper API (part of Web API) to get publicly-available data from any page on Amazon (pricing, product information, etc.) with simple API requests.
This all-in-one solution is designed to handle Amazon's automated request management systems via fast-adapting infrastructure, which automates proxy rotation, web access management, and parsing to get real-time structured data.

Each Amazon target has its own endpoint under https://webapi.oxylabs.io/v1/scrape/amazon. Send your API key in the Authorization header, put the ASIN, search term or URL in the payload, and set output to ["json"] to get parsed fields instead of raw HTML. Every endpoint works in sync, async and batch modes.
The example below requests the Amazon product page for ASIN B0935DN1BN from the German marketplace (amazon.de), with delivery location 10115 and prices in EUR:
import requests
from pprint import pprint
# Structure payload.
payload = {
'query': 'B0935DN1BN',
'domain': 'de',
'location': '10115',
'currency': 'EUR',
'output': ['json'],
}
# Get response.
response = requests.post(
'https://webapi.oxylabs.io/v1/scrape/amazon/product',
headers={'Authorization': 'Bearer YOUR_API_KEY'}, # Your API key goes here
json=payload,
)
# Print prettified response to stdout.
pprint(response.json())Here is a quick overview of all the available endpoints we support with Amazon:
| Endpoint. | Description | Structured data |
|---|---|---|
/v1/scrape/amazon |

The /v1/scrape/amazon endpoint is designed to retrieve the content from various Amazon URLs. Instead of sending multiple parameters, you can provide us with a direct URL to the required Amazon page. Send it unchanged, because query string parameters select the variant and price.

url* |
A URL on any Amazon marketplace. Send it unchanged: query string parameters select the variant and price. | string |
autoselect_variant |

check_empty_geo |
Fails the request instead of returning content that ignored location. | boolean |
currency |
Currency to report prices in, e.g. EUR. |
string |
locale |
Interface language, e.g. en_US. |

/* required parameter
The endpoint also accepts the common parameters above and the search filters listed under Search.

Oxylabs Web API is built so you can scrape Amazon without maintaining scrapers, proxies or parsers.
- Pay for results, not attempts: you pay only for successfully delivered results, with Amazon requests starting from $0.50 per 1,000 results (see pricing).
- Any Amazon marketplace: get localized Amazon data from any marketplace, with proxies in 195 countries.
- Built-in proxy management: a 177M+ rotating proxy pool, so you don't manage IPs yourself.
- Access handled for you: CAPTCHA handling, JavaScript rendering and AI-driven fingerprinting are included.
- Flexible output and delivery: choose JSON, Markdown, HTML or a screenshot, and get results in the response or in your own cloud storage bucket.
- Agent-ready: connect directly to your AI agents with MCP support and Agent Skills.
- Support around the clock: 24/7 support, trusted by 15,000+ clients globally.
Scraping publicly available data is generally allowed, but the answer depends on your jurisdiction, the type of data you collect and how you use it. Respect Amazon's terms, avoid personal data and get legal advice for your specific project.
You can collect public product data such as titles, prices, ASINs, images, offers, seller information and best seller lists. The free Amazon scraper returns title, URL, ASIN, image URL and price. The Web API returns structured JSON for product pages, search results, offers, sellers and best sellers, and can fetch any other Amazon page from its URL.
Use the free tool for small, one-off jobs on a single department page. Choose the Oxylabs Web API when you need larger volumes, multiple marketplaces or reliable access without managing proxies.
The Web API handles CAPTCHAs, JavaScript rendering and proxy rotation for you, and uses AI-driven fingerprinting to improve success rates, so you send a request and get the result back.
Set the domain parameter to choose a marketplace, such as com, de, co.uk or co.jp, and use location to set the delivery postal code. See the Amazon API reference for all parameters.
