amazonscraperapi-sdk

Official Python SDK for Amazon Scraper API. Pay only for successful (2xx) responses — non-2xx never cost you anything. Pricing starts at $0.90 per 1,000 requests on pay-as-you-go, drops to a flat $0.50 per 1,000 requests on Custom plans. 1,000 free requests on signup, no card. Drop into any Python project to fetch structured Amazon product data, run keyword searches, or queue async batches with webhook callbacks.

Install

pip install amazonscraperapi-sdk

Requires Python >= 3.9. Built on httpx.

Quick start - single product

from amazonscraperapi import AmazonScraperAPI

asa = AmazonScraperAPI(api_key="asa_live_...")

product = asa.product(query="B09HN3Q81F", domain="com")

print(product["title"])
# "Apple AirPods Pro (2nd Generation)..."
print(product["price"]["current"])
# 199.00
print(product["rating"]["average"], product["rating"]["count"])
# 4.7 58214

Example output (trimmed)

{
    "asin": "B09HN3Q81F",
    "title": "Apple AirPods Pro (2nd Generation)...",
    "brand": "Apple",
    "price": {"current": 199.00, "currency": "USD", "was": 249.00, "savings_pct": 20},
    "rating": {"average": 4.7, "count": 58214, "distribution": {"5": 0.81, "4": 0.12}},
    "availability": "In Stock",
    "buybox": {"seller": "Amazon.com", "ships_from": "Amazon.com", "prime": True},
    "images": ["https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/...jpg"],
    "bullets": ["Active Noise Cancellation...", "Adaptive Audio..."],
    "variants": [{"asin": "B0BDHB9Y8H", "name": "USB-C", "price": 249.00}],
    "categories": ["Electronics", "Headphones", "Earbud Headphones"],
    "_meta": {"tier": "direct", "duration_ms": 2634, "marketplace": "amazon.com"},
}

Keyword search

results = asa.search(
    query="wireless headphones",
    domain="co.uk",
    sort_by="avg_customer_review",
    pages=1,
)

for r in results["results"]:
    print(r["position"], r["asin"], r["title"], r["price"].get("current"))

Async batch (up to 1,000 ASINs with webhook callback)

batch = asa.create_batch(
    endpoint="amazon.product",
    items=[
        {"query": "B09HN3Q81F", "domain": "com"},
        {"query": "B000ALVUM6", "domain": "de", "language": "de_DE"},
        # ... up to 1,000
    ],
    webhook_url="https://your.server/webhooks/asa",
)

print("batch id:", batch["id"])
# SAVE THIS. Webhook signing secret is returned only once:
print("webhook secret:", batch["webhook_signature_secret"])

# Alternative: poll
status = asa.get_batch(batch["id"])
print(f"{status['processed_count']}/{status['total_count']}")

Verifying webhook signatures

from amazonscraperapi import verify_webhook_signature
from fastapi import FastAPI, Request, HTTPException
import json, os

app = FastAPI()

@app.post("/webhooks/asa")
async def asa_webhook(request: Request):
    raw = await request.body()
    signature = request.headers.get("X-ASA-Signature")
    if not verify_webhook_signature(signature, raw, secret=os.environ["WEBHOOK_SECRET"]):
        raise HTTPException(401, "invalid signature")
    payload = json.loads(raw)
    # process payload["results"]

What the API solves for you

Building a production-grade Amazon scraper in-house is a 2-4 week engineering project plus permanent maintenance. This SDK wraps Amazon Scraper API, which has already solved:

Pain point	What we handle
Amazon CAPTCHAs / robot pages	Auto-detected, retried through a heavier proxy tier (datacenter, residential, premium)
Brittle CSS selectors	Extractors update as Amazon changes layouts. Your code stays the same.
20+ marketplaces	amazon.de, .co.uk, .co.jp, .com.br, and more. Each with marketplace-specific parsing quirks.
Country-matched residential IPs	amazon.de auto-routes through German IPs. Pass country="DE" to override.
Rotating proxies + anti-fingerprinting	TLS fingerprints, headers, cookies handled server-side.
Rate-limit retries	Transparent exponential backoff.
Structured JSON output	Title, price, rating, reviews, variants, seller, images. Parsed, typed.
Batch/async jobs	1,000 ASINs submitted, webhook-delivered on completion.

Time saved: a greenfield Python Amazon scraper built to this spec takes roughly 80 engineer-hours (including anti-bot handling and marketplace variants). This SDK is 10 minutes.

Error handling

All failures follow a stable shape so you can match on code:

from amazonscraperapi import AmazonScraperAPI, AsaError
import time

asa = AmazonScraperAPI(api_key="asa_live_...")

try:
    product = asa.product(query="INVALID_ASIN", domain="com")
except AsaError as e:
    if e.code == "INSUFFICIENT_CREDITS":
        pass  # top up
    elif e.code == "RATE_LIMITED":
        time.sleep(e.retry_after)
    elif e.code in ("target_unreachable", "amazon-robot-or-human"):
        # non-2xx, you were not charged. safe to retry.
        pass
    else:
        raise

HTTP	code	When you see it	Recommended action
400	INVALID_PARAMS	Missing query, unsupported domain, bad sort_by	Fix request; don't retry
401	INVALID_API_KEY	Missing, malformed, revoked	Verify ASA_API_KEY; rotate if leaked
402	INSUFFICIENT_CREDITS	Balance empty	Top up; renews each billing cycle
429	RATE_LIMITED	Over 120 req/60s per user	Honor Retry-After; retry
429	CONCURRENCY_LIMIT	Over plan's parallel cap	Reduce parallelism or upgrade. X-Concurrency-* headers guide backoff
502	target_unreachable	Amazon down / all proxy tiers blocked	Retry after 30s (already retried through 3 tiers on our side)
502	amazon-robot-or-human	Amazon challenge not resolvable	Retry. Often transient. Not charged
502	extraction_failed	Layout we can't parse	Report with X-Request-Id. Not charged
503	SERVICE_OVERLOADED	Global circuit breaker	Honor Retry-After: 60. Rare
500	INTERNAL_ERROR	Our bug	Report with X-Request-Id

Flat-credit promise: non-2xx responses are free. A basic request costs 5 credits (billing unit; end-customer price is $0.90 per 1,000 basic requests PAYG). Future JS-rendered calls will cost 15 credits. Every response has X-Request-Id for traceability — quote it in any support ticket.
