Table of content

This article outlines a few methods for scraping Amazon product data. This could effectively export data to Excel or other formats for easier access and use.

There are three methods for scraping Amazon product data:

  1. Scraping Amazon in Python or JavaScript
  2. Using the ScrapeHero Cloud, Amazon Product Details and Pricing Scraper, a no-code tool
  3. Using the Amazon Product Details and Pricing API by ScrapeHero Cloud

Building an Amazon Scraper in Python or JavaScript

In this section, we will guide you on how to scrape Amazon product data using either Python or JavaScript. We will utilize the browser automation framework called Playwright to emulate browser behavior in our code.

You could also use Python Requests, BeautifulSoup, or LXML to build an Amazon scraper without using a browser or a browser automation library. But bypassing the anti-scraping mechanisms put in place can be challenging and is beyond the scope of this article.

Here are the steps for scraping Amazon product data using Playwright:

Step 1: Choose either Python or JavaScript as your programming language.

Step 2: Install Playwright for your preferred language.


pip install playwright
# to download the necessary browsers
playwright install

 

npm install playwright@latest

 

pip install playwright
# to download the necessary browsers
playwright install

 

npm install playwright@latest

 

Step 3: Write your code to emulate browser behavior and extract the desired data from Amazon using the Playwright API. You can use the code:

This code shows how to scrape Amazon using the Playwright library in Python and JavaScript.

The corresponding scripts have two main functions, namely:

  1. run function: This function takes a Playwright instance as an input and performs the scraping process. The function launches a Chromium browser instance, navigates to an Amazon page, fills in a search query, clicks the search button, and waits for the results to be displayed on the page.
    The extract_details function is then called to extract the product details and store the data in a JSON file.
  2. extract_data function: This function takes a Playwright page object as input and returns a list of dictionaries containing product details. The details include name, brand, seller, rating, sale price, etc.

Finally, the main function uses the async_playwright context manager to execute the run function. A JSON file containing the listings of the Amazon product data script you just executed would be created.

Step 4: Run your code for Scraping Amazon product data.
