Actors are a software tools running on the Apify platform, for all kinds of web data extraction and automation use cases. In Batch mode, an Actor accepts a well-defined JSON input, performs an action which can take anything from a few seconds to a few hours, and optionally produces a well-defined JSON output, datasets with results, or files in key-value store. In Standby mode, an Actor provides a web server which can be used as a website, API, or an MCP server. Actors are written with capital "A". ## How to integrate an Actor? If asked about integration, you help developers integrate Actors into their projects. You adapt to their stack and deliver integrations that are safe, well-documented, and production-ready. The best way to integrate Actors is as follows. In JavaScript/TypeScript projects, use official [JavaScript/TypeScript client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js.md): ```bash npm install apify-client ``` In Python projects, use official [Python client library](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python.md): ```bash pip install apify-client ``` In shell scripts, use [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md): ````bash # MacOS / Linux curl -fsSL https://apify.com/install-cli.sh | bash # Windows irm https://apify.com/install-cli.ps1 | iex ```bash In AI frameworks, you might use the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/platform/integrations/mcp.md). If your project is in a different language, use the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md). For usage examples, see the [API](#api) section below. For more details, see Apify documentation as [Markdown index](https://docs.apify.com/llms.txt) and [Markdown full-text](https://docs.apify.com/llms-full.txt). # README ## Amazon Best Sellers Scraper ๐Ÿ† - BSR, New Releases & Movers **Scrape Amazon Best Sellers Rank (BSR) data at scale.** This Amazon best sellers scraper extracts every product from Amazon's **Best Sellers**, **New Releases**, **Most Gifted**, **Most Wished For**, and **Movers & Shakers** lists - across **every department and subcategory** - and returns clean, structured JSON, CSV, or Excel.

Example: ```json { "productName": "Anker USB-C Fast Charger 67W", "productPrice": "ยฃ29.99", "productImage": "https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61example._AC_UL600_.jpg", "productLink": "https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B0EXAMPLE", "productRank": 1, "listType": "Best-Sellers", "department": "Electronics", "subcategory": "Chargers", "scrapedAt": "2026-06-07T14:30:00.000Z" } ``` Export to **JSON, CSV, Excel, XML, or RSS**, or fetch programmatically via the [Apify Dataset API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2/dataset-items-get). *** ### ๐Ÿ’ก Use cases - **Product research & sourcing** - spot trending products and fast movers before competitors do (Amazon FBA, dropshipping, retail arbitrage). - **Price monitoring** - track prices on top-ranked products over time by scheduling daily runs. - **Market & category analysis** - measure which categories and brands dominate the rankings. - **Analytics pipelines** - feed structured JSON straight into databases, dashboards, or scoring models via API. *** ### ๐Ÿ—“๏ธ Automate it Want fresh Best Sellers data every morning? Use Apify **[Schedules](https://docs.apify.com/platform/schedules)** to run this Actor hourly, daily, or weekly, and have results pushed to your storage, a webhook, Google Sheets, or your own API automatically. *** ### โ“ FAQ **Is scraping Amazon legal?** Scraping publicly available data is generally legal. This Actor only collects public product listings - no personal data and nothing behind a login. You are responsible for complying with Amazon's Terms of Service and applicable laws in your jurisdiction. Use the data responsibly. **Why are some prices `null`?** Amazon doesn't show a price on every ranking card (e.g. some "Movers & Shakers" entries). When a price isn't present on the list page, the field is returned as `null` rather than guessed. **Which Amazon marketplaces are supported?** Any Amazon domain - just set `amazonDomain` (e.g. `https://www.amazon.com`, `https://www.amazon.de`). **My run returned few results or got blocked.** Amazon blocks data-center traffic aggressively. Enable **Residential proxies** in `proxyConfiguration` for large or frequent runs. **Can I get more data per product (reviews, full specs)?** This Actor focuses on ranking-list data. Pair it with a dedicated [Amazon Product Detail Scraper](https://apify.com/store?search=amazon%20product) to enrich each `productLink`. *** ### ๐Ÿ”— Related Actors Browse more e-commerce scrapers in the **[Apify Store](https://apify.com/store?search=amazon)**: - Amazon Product Scraper - full product details, specs, and reviews - Amazon Reviews Scraper - collect and analyze customer reviews - Amazon Price Tracker - monitor price changes over time *** ### ๐Ÿ›Ÿ Support Found a bug or need a new feature? **Open an issue on the Actor's [Issues tab](https://docs.apify.com/platform/actors/development/automated-tests)** or contact us through the Actor page - we actively maintain this scraper and respond quickly. *** ### ๐Ÿ› ๏ธ For developers Run locally: ```bash apify run ``` Deploy your own copy: ```bash apify login apify push ``` Built with the [Apify SDK](https://docs.apify.com/sdk/js/), [Crawlee](https://crawlee.dev), and [Playwright](https://playwright.dev/) for reliable rendering of Amazon's dynamic ranking pages. # Actor input Schema ## `amazonDomain` (type: `string`): Amazon marketplace (domain) to scrape, e.g. https://www.amazon.com, https://www.amazon.co.uk, https://www.amazon.de. ## `categories` (type: `array`): Which Amazon ranking lists to scrape: Best-Sellers, new-releases, most-gifted, most-wished-for, movers-and-shakers.
