How is this different from the Amazon Product Advertising API?

PA-API requires Amazon Associates approval, and access is revoked if you do not generate qualifying affiliate sales. It also only exposes the fields Amazon chooses to publish. The Amazon Data API is a flat scraper: pass any public product URL with your API Codex key and get the live page as JSON. No affiliate program, no sales quotas, no approval process.

Do I need an Amazon account, or will my IP get blocked?

Neither. The API scrapes on our side using enterprise scraping infrastructure that handles rotation, blocks and captchas, so nothing runs from your IP and no Amazon credentials are involved. You just authenticate to the API with your API Codex key.

How fresh are prices and availability?

Every request triggers a live scrape of the product page at that moment, so price, list price, availability and review counts reflect the current state rather than a cached database. That is also why responses take 5-45 seconds instead of milliseconds: for price tracking, fresh beats fast.

What does an HTTP 202 response mean and how do I handle it?

If a scrape exceeds the synchronous window, the API returns 202 with a snapshot_id instead of making you wait on an open connection. Poll GET /v1/result?snapshot_id=... until it returns 200 with status "ready" and your data. This mostly happens on /v1/reviews, where results are typically ready within 1-2 minutes.

Does it work on marketplaces other than amazon.com?

Yes. The url parameter accepts product URLs from any public Amazon marketplace (amazon.co.uk, amazon.de, amazon.co.jp and so on); prices come back in the local currency with a currency field so you can normalize them on your side.

Scrape any product page or its reviews as clean JSON

Amazon Data API

Name: Amazon Data API
Brand: API Codex
SKU: amazon-data-api

The Amazon Data API turns any public Amazon product page into structured JSON with a single GET request. Title, brand, current price, list price, rating, review counts, availability, images and specs, plus review lists with text and star ratings, scraped live with no seller account, affiliate approval or proxies on your side.

Unlike Amazon's Product Advertising API, which requires affiliate approval and revenue quotas to keep access, this Amazon scraper API works on any product URL from day one. Track a competitor's price, monitor review sentiment, or enrich your catalog with live availability. Most requests complete synchronously in 5-45 seconds.

Documentation

Amazon Data API Documentation

Pass an Amazon product URL and get a complete, structured JSON record back in a single request. All endpoints are GET. On /v1/reviews, limit accepts 1-50 (default 10), and fields= lets you keep only the top-level fields you need. If a scrape exceeds the sync window you get HTTP 202 with a snapshot_id to resolve via /v1/result.

Base URL

Authentication

Create a key at apicodex.io/register and send it as an X-Api-Key header (or an ?apikey= query parameter) on every request. No Amazon account, affiliate tag or seller credential is ever involved.
