How it works
You send one or more Amazon URLs to the Bright Data Amazon Scraper API. Bright Data handles the scraping infrastructure and returns clean, structured JSON.dataset_id to specify the data type (products, reviews, sellers, global products, or search) and return results in JSON, NDJSON, or CSV.
What the response looks like
A single record returned by the Bright Data Amazon Scraper API on September 6, 2026, trimmed to the fields shown. Run the request yourself in the quickstart.Supported data types
Products
Product titles, prices, ratings, reviews count, seller info, and availability. Discover products by best sellers, category, keyword, or UPC.
Reviews

Products Global
Product data from Amazon marketplaces worldwide. Discover by brand, category, keywords, or seller.
Products Search

Request methods
The Bright Data Scraper API supports two request methods. Choose based on your volume and latency needs.

Both endpoints accept the inputs as a bare JSON array, which is what every example on this page uses, or as an object with an
input array. Use the object form when you also send custom_output_fields or limit_per_input on either endpoint, or a deliver block on /trigger. See Request body.
Capabilities and limits
Common questions
Is the data scraped in real time?
Yes. Each request triggers a live scrape. There is no cached or stale data. Processing time varies with target-site conditions and scraper workload. The Bright Data Amazon Scraper API does not publish a fixed response time. A synchronous request waits up to 1 minute, then returns HTTP202 with a snapshot_id and continues asynchronously. Discovery requests always run asynchronously and take longer depending on result volume.
Why do response times change over time?
Amazon changes how its pages are served, and the Bright Data Amazon Scraper API collectors are updated to match. A collector update can change how long a scrape takes even when the success rate stays the same. For production workloads, build against the async workflow or webhook delivery so a longer run does not break the integration.What is the difference between URL collection and discovery?
URL collection scrapes a specific Amazon page you provide (e.g., a product URL). Discovery finds Amazon content matching search criteria (e.g., all products in a category or matching a keyword) and scrapes the results. Discovery is accepted on both endpoints. On/scrape it usually runs past the 1-minute limit and returns HTTP 202 with a snapshot_id, so use the async /trigger endpoint for discovery.
How is this different from scraping using proxies or Web Unlocker API?
When scraping using proxies or Web Unlocker API, you still need to write and maintain your own parsing logic and update it whenever the target site changes its page structure. The Bright Data Scraper API handles the entire stack: proxy rotation, anti-bot bypassing and parsing. You send a URL or keyword and get clean, structured JSON back, with no scraping infrastructure or parser maintenance on your end.Next steps
