| *`Removed`*   | The Rainforest **Questions endpoint** has been depreciated.<br /><br />Amazon has phased out its public product Q\&A. The questions-and-answers sections have been removed from product pages. That content now lives inside Amazon's AI shopping assistant, recently rebranded from Rufus to Alexa for Shoppin&#x67;**,&#x20;**&#x61;nd requires authentication to access. Because the data is no longer publicly accessible as structured Q\&A, this endpoint can no longer return reliable results.<br /><br />What this means for you<br />+ The Questions endpoint will stop accepting new requests on July 1st.<br />+ Existing integrations should remove calls to this endpoint before then to avoid errors.<br />+ Some of the buyer-intent signals previously found in Q\&A can be found on Product results under the <br />`customers_say_summary` or <br />`top_reviews` results fields.<br /><br />We know deprecations are disruptive. This change reflects a shift on Amazon's side that's outside our control, and we wanted to give you clear notice and a path forward. |

| *`Enhancement`* | We’ve released two enhancements to the Rainforest API that help you extract more meaningful insights from product reviews and make it easier to access variant pricing in bulk.<br /><br />1. More Contextful Reviews with Purchase Metadata<br />Top reviews returned from type=product responses include additional purchase context—indicating which product variant (e.g., color, size, or configuration) the customer bought. <br /><br />This added metadata helps you:<br />- Link reviews to specific product variants<br />- Improve confidence in review relevance<br />- Enable more accurate product matching and analysis<br /><br />2. CSV Support for variant\_prices Requests<br />You can now request `variant_prices` using CSV batch mode in the Rainforest API. <br /><br />To use it:<br />- Add a column to your batch CSV file called `variants_flat`<br />- Set its value to `true` for any row where you want variant-level pricing returned<br /><br />**Please note:&#x20;**&#x54;he value must be lowercase true. <br /><br />This enhancement makes it easier to retrieve structured pricing data across multiple product variants in a single batch request—saving time and API overhead.<br /><br />What This Means for You<br />These enhancements make it easier to connect reviews to specific customer purchases and scale your variant pricing retrieval workflows. Ideal for:<br /><br />- Marketplace and product intelligence<br />- Variant-level pricing audits<br />- Customer review analysis and UGC trust scoring<br />Retail analytics and product clustering<br /><br />For questions or help getting started with this update, please reach out to your Customer Success Manager or to our [support team](https://trajectdata.com/contact-us/). |

| <font color="#1d4d7b">`New Feature`</font> | Unlock More Global and Granular Detail from Amazon Results<br />We’ve shipped three improvements to the Rainforest API that expand what you can extract from Amazon pages. These updates improve support for category accuracy, international shipment visibility, and result set parsing—giving you a deeper and more flexible understanding of marketplace data.<br />1. Amazon Best Seller & Audible Categories Updated<br /><font color="#1d4d7b">Get accurate Best Seller category IDs across Amazon domains</font><br />**What's New**<br />We’ve updated the Best Seller Category IDs across all supported Amazon domains and expanded Audible/Audiobook categories for several international marketplaces.<br />**What’s Covered:**<br />- Best Seller categories updated for all domains<br />- Audible/Audiobook categories updates for: Spain, France, Italy, Canada, and Australia. <br />**What This Means for You**<br />You’ll now receive more accurate and complete category data—especially useful when analyzing rank, browsing metadata, or building category-specific filters internationally.<br />2. Detect International Shipment by Third-Party (3P) Sellers<br /><font color="#1d4d7b">Know when Amazon ships an item internationally</font><br />**What's New**<br />The `fulfillment` object now includes a new boolean field—`is_fulfilled_by_amazon_international`—that tells you whether Amazon is fulfilling the item from an international location.<br />**How It Works**<br />- Applies to `type=product` responses<br />- The flag is `true` when Amazon ships the item across borders (e.g., from a German FC to an Austrian buyer)<br />- This flag appears inside the `fulfillment` object alongside existing delivery metadata<br />- Works regardless of whether the item is 1P or 3P, as long as Amazon is the fulfiller<br />**Example Response:**<br />"fulfillment": \{<br />"is\_fulfilled\_by\_amazon\_international": true<br />}<br />**What This Means for You**<br />This helps you distinguish local Amazon fulfillment from international shipping—essential for delivery time analysis, customs considerations, and understanding where inventory is sourced.<br />3. Amazon Search Result Count Parsing<br />See how many results were returned for a given keyword<br />**What’s New**<br />We now parse the total number of search results returned for keyword searches using `type=search`. This information is returned in a new `search_information` object. <br />**Example Response:**<br />"search\_information": \{<br />"results\_text\_raw": "49-96 of over 100,000 results for \\"chocolate\\"",<br />"results\_begin": 49,<br />"results\_end": 96,<br />"total\_results": 100000,<br />"search\_term": "chocolate"<br />}<br />**What This Means for You**<br />Whether you’re tracking keyword competitiveness, reporting on category saturation, or tuning search strategies, this new field gives you a clearer view of what’s being returned—and how much. |

| <font color="#1d4d7b">`New Feature`</font> | Access Faster, Lighter Responses with New Selective Parsing and Combined Search & Product Scrapes<br />We’ve released two enhancements to the Rainforest API that improve the speed, precision, and efficiency of your Amazon workflows. With **selective parsing**, you can trim down responses to only the fields you need. And with **combined search + product scrapes**, you can retrieve more data in fewer calls—making your requests simpler and faster.<br />1. Streamline Amazon API Responses with Selective Parsing<br />We’ve added a new `fields` parameter to the Rainforest API, allowing you to return only the data you actually need from search and product endpoints. This gives you greater control over your payloads while improving speed and efficiency—especially at scale. <br /><br />What's New<br />You can now use the fields parameter to retrieve only the data points you care about in both `type=search` and `type=product` Rainforest API calls. This results in smaller payloads and faster response times.<br /><br />How to Use It<br />Add `fields=` to your API request with a comma-separated list of top-level or nested field names (dot notation supported). <br />**Example Request:**<br />`https://api.rainforestapi.com/request?api_key=<api_key>&type=search&amazon_domain=amazon.com&search_term=paranormal+detective&number_of_results=10&fields=search_results.price,search_results.product.bestsellers_rank`<br />**Please note:&#x20;**&#x54;his feature is not currently supported for batch requests. <br /><br />What This Means for You<br />You get precise control over which data points are returned, helping reduce bandwidth costs, eliminate unnecessary parsing, and streamline your workflows.<br /><br />2. Simplify Amazon Scraping with Combined Search + Product Calls<br />This update introduces a smarter way to scrape Amazon: a single `type=search` request can now trigger product requests for the top search results—delivering all the data in one combined response. No more chaining multiple calls or stitching together datasets. <br /><br />What’s New<br />You can now make a single `type=search` request that automatically triggers type=product requests for the top search result—all returned in one combined response.<br /><br />How to Use It<br />Add `include_products_count=` to your type=search call to specify how many top results should return full product details. You can optionally use `fields=` to limit the response to only key data points. <br />**Example Request:&#x20;**<br />`https://api.rainforestapi.com/request?api_key=<api_key>&type=search&amazon_domain=amazon.com&search_term=paranormal+detective&number_of_results=10&include_products_count=5&fields=search_results.price,search_results.product.specifications`<br />**Please note:** This feature is not available via batch requests, and each `type=product` requests triggered will count as a separate API request.<br /><br />What This Means for You<br />You can streamline your scraping flow and reduce the number of API calls. Instead of chaining requests manually, you’ll get both search and product data faster—in a single, easy-to-parse response.<br /><br />For questions or help getting started with Amazon data collection via our Rainforest API, please reach out to our [support team](https://trajectdata.com/contact-us/) or your Customer Success Manager.  |

Of note, an objective of the new legal framework is “addressing challenges posed by the growth of online sales and in particular via online marketplaces.” The GPSR includes extensive requirements for marketplaces (i.e. Amazon) to ensure that products sold on their EU platforms are safe and fully compliant.<br />Manufacturers, sellers and distributors, and online marketplaces are all accountable to keep products they offer or sell in the EU safe for consumers according to the new regulation. If you’re doing research on GPSR compliance, you’ll need to check that products regulated under this framework meet the specific requirements, including providing safety and product information, e.g., Amazon’s **Safety and product resources** section. **You can now capture these important product details with Rainforest API’s product results.**<br /><br />**How it works:**<br />-When `type=product `and Safety and product resources data is available on the product page, pass the parameter `include_safety_product_resources=true` to retrieve safety-related details.<br />-The Safety and Product Resources (i.e. “Safety images and contacts”) *link must appear* on the product page for this feature to work.<br />-**Cost**: this costs (2) extra credits (a total of 3 credits per request)<br />-*If the link to the safety resources is not present* on the        product page, no additional credits will be charged.<br /><br />**Details:**<br />-**Safety Product Resources**: includes descriptions and associated product safety image URLs<br />-**Manufacturer Details**: information such as company name, address, and contact info<br />-**Responsible Person**: details about the responsible person (if provided), including name, role and contact information<br /><br />:inlineImage[]{src="https://apiimages.imgix.net/rainforestapi/RF_Safety-product-resources.png?w=500&h=650" alt caption width="500" height="557"}<br /> |

|                 | Business UpdateAs a result of significant growth, our infrastructure — namely the dynamic routing of traffic to accommodate high volume customers — has recently required updates. Reworking architecture patterns and proxy configurations has taken us a fair amount of time, which in turn has led to some slower customer issue resolution. <br />We'd like to assure you that we’ve identified and corrected the infrastructural shortcomings, and the outcome is a 50% increase in infrastructure and proxy capacity. We apologize for the potential business interruptions you may have experienced over the last couple months. Our aim is to earn your trust back and continue to support the realization of your business goals. Please don’t hesitate to get in touch if you require further information. |

| *`New Feature`* | <font color="#1d4d7b">**Editorial content extracted on Store results**</font><br />Rainforest will now extract editorial content for `type=store` [requests ](https://docs.trajectdata.com/rainforestapi/product-data-api/results/store). Store result pages can have different layouts and are not always a standard list of ASIN result.<br />If a `store_result` has the `type=editorial` then the ASIN is being displayed as a graphic/creative, instead of a regular ASIN product listing. Previously it was not possible to extract the ASIN detail behind these creative images. <br />[Read More](https://docs.trajectdata.com/rainforestapi/product-data-api/results/store)<br />:inlineImage[]{src="https://apiimages.imgix.net/rainforestapi/images/png/releasenotes/stores_editorial_rows.png?auto=format&ixlib=react-9.5.1-beta.1&w=300" alt caption width="300" height="165"} |
