Introduction
In this video tutorial, Theo from Apify shows you how to use Amazon Product Scraper to extract valuable data from Amazon products. With this tool, you can easily scrape data from Amazon product URLs or category URLs, and choose how many results you want to see per each URL.
Setting Up Your Apify Account
Before you can start using Amazon Product Scraper, you'll need to set up an Apify account. Don't worry, it's free and no credit card is required! Once you have your account set up, you're ready to move on to the next step.
Finding and Trying Amazon Product Scraper
To find Amazon Product Scraper, head over to Apify Store and search for it. Once you've found it, hit "Try for Free" to get started. This will take you to the Actor's input page, where you can choose to set up the input via our intuitive UI or via JSON.
Inputting Your Data
There are two ways to get your data: either via an Amazon product URL or via a category URL. To scrape data from either one, simply paste the URL into the Amazon categories field. For our example, we're going to go with the Headphones, Earbuds & Accessories category. If you want the scraper to go through multiple URLs, add them with the Add button or import them from a text file.
One thing to note is that Amazon may limit your scrape if you're planning to extract data from more than 7 search pages, so in that case, we recommend finding a suitable category URL instead. Next, you can choose how many results you want to see per each URL. Let's go with 20 for our test run.
Before running your Actor, we suggest saving your configuration as a task. This will come in handy if you want to schedule or integrate your Actor with other tools in the future, or if you plan to work with multiple configurations.
Running Your Actor
Now that we have the input filled out, let's run the Actor using the Save & Start button. You can switch to the Log tab to see more details about the run or watch your results appear in Overview. Once your run is finished, you can get your data via the Export button. You can choose your desired format, nitpick which fields you want to have in your dataset, and which you'd rather skip. Then just hit Download and you have your dataset file.
Exporting Your Data
