Free Amazon Scraper

A free tool used to get Amazon product data for any provided Amazon department page.

Prerequisites

To run this tool, you need to have Python 3.11 installed in your system.

Installation

Open up a terminal window, navigate to this repository and run this command:

make install

Retrieving the URL of an Amazon page to scrape

First 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.

Scraping Amazon product data

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.

Retrieved data

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:

Notes

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 Scraper API.

Scraping with Oxylabs API

Alternatively, you can use Oxylabs Amazon Scraper API to get publicly-available data from any page on Amazon (reviews, pricing, product information, etc.) To access the tool, you'll need a paid subscription or the 7-day free trial – claim it here.
