Getting Started

ASIN Data API is an API to retrieve data from any Amazon domain worldwide in real-time. You can use ASIN Data API to retrieve products, reviews, offers, category results and search results from any Amazon site.

ASIN Data API executes requests in real time and returns clean, structured JSON or CSV results. You can achieve fine-grained control over your request using the request parameters.



Retrieving Search Results from Amazon

GET /request

Getting Amazon data with ASIN Data API is as simple as making an HTTP GET request to the request endpoint. The only required parameters are api_key (sign up for free to get an API key) and type (which defines the type of Amazon data you'd like to retrieve).

For example, to retrieve Search results ( type=search ) for the search term "highlighter pens", on amazon.com ( amazon_domain=highlighter+pens ) the ASIN Data API request would be:

HTTP
Curl
Node.js
Python
PHP


To view ASIN Data API JSON results clearly in your browser we recommend these extensions for Chrome and Firefox

The results of the Search request are shown below, the search results are within the search_results array. For full documentation on Bestsellers results see the Search Results docs.

JSON


Response Times & Concurrency ASIN Data API gathers data from Amazon in real-time and will typically return a result in 1-6 seconds. Please inspect the HTTP Response Code and update your app accordingly.

If you need to run large volumes of requests consider using the Collections API. Collections allow you to enqueue up to 15,000 requests, run them manually or on a schedule and execute them concurrently on ASIN Data API's infrastructure.



Getting Data for an Individual Product

GET /request

Lets say we want to change our query to request a different type of data - information on a specific product, in this case the ASIN (Amazon product identifier) B07WJJF8PB on amazon.com . Here's the ASIN Data API request to achieve that:

HTTP
Curl
Node.js
Python
PHP


The result of the Product request is shown below. For full documentation on Product results see the Product Results docs.
