Hello,
Thank you for this guide – very helpful!
Is there a way to also scrape the “___ people found this helpful” field for each review using this scraping method?
Thank you!
You should be able to edit this sitemap using the chrome extension and add that field.
Hi guys, tried doing this but it didn’t scrape all the reviews, it only got like 260 out of 320. Any ideas? I did it twice, same issue
Can you please paste the ASIN you are trying this for ?
@boop is correct. There’s something wrong as it doesn’t scrape all the reviews. If there are around 190 reviews, it only scrapes 155. @ScrapeHero, can you please look that issue and let us all know why it that the case? Otherwise, it is a powerful tool but the fact that it doesn’t get all the reviews is somewhat annoying. Would appreciate a quick response. Thanks.
We just checked this for a product with 4000+ reviews, and was able to get all of it. We did notice that amazon does not show all the reviews or cuts off the pagination abruptly if it flags you as a scraper. You might want to try scraping slower by using a higher delay.
Hello, Thanks to you, I was able to crawl reviews too easily! However, I’ve crawled 23000+ reviews several times, but only 5001 data can be collected. @ScrapeHero Can you tell me how to crawl all the reviews(23000+)? Thanks!!
You must be getting blacklisted by Amazon, although they are not showing you a captcha. You might want to use a better proxy to crawl. Amazon is pretty good at flagging the scraper a bot, when you are dealing with about 23K reviews.
This might help https://www.scrapehero.com/how-to-prevent-getting-blacklisted-while-scraping/
any better format to export the file, CSV is not giving you best output.
Data formats that work better are described here https://www.scrapehero.com/the-best-data-and-file-formats-for-scraped-data/
Thank you for the tutorial and getting me started on web scraping! I am trying to scrape the reviews I wrote myself by going to my Amazon Profile page (Amazon does not have an option to export your own data), and create a Sitemap from there. We shall see whether I’ll be successful 🙂
Eventually, I will also try to figure out if there’s a way to compare 2 scrapes and find out what’s different between the two (to more quickly detect changes — like, new comments were added). Thanks again!
I am trying to scrape all the reviews for a popular product (about 14000 reviews in total) and the scraper can only export about 5000 reviews. Is there anyway that I can do this at least in known batches? Here is the product link in Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/Nest-T3007ES-Thermostat-Temperature-Generation/product-reviews/B0131RG6VK/ref=cm_cr_dp_d_show_all_btm?ie=UTF8&reviewerType=all_reviews
Hi, I tried this on Amazon and it works great. I wonder if there is any way I can scrape reviews from different website ( https://www.amphora-aromatics.com/creams-and-gels-and-balms/aromatherapy-creams/almond-and-sandalwood-hand-cream-60ml-info#tab-reviews) I tried to use the same json code but no luck. I only dreamed it would but oh well I am newbie to this.Thanks in advance for your help.
Hi. I am a newbie here. This is an awesome tool. I would like to get some help from the community. I am using the JSON file provided in this link: https://gist.github.com/scrapehero/cefaf014076b953f865a63ad453d507b.
I would like to edit the JSON file to do 3 things:
1. Add the product name as a column in each line in the output. For eg: New iPad 9.7″ (2018 & 2017)…
1. Remove the next and next-href columns in the output
2. Remove the web-scraper-start-url column in the output
Can someone please share the code to be able to do the above?
Many thanks.
Steven
HELLO ScrapeHero,
I have a question about which selector to use for drop down options with multiple data selections.
for example: All listings(main button) > (after clicking-dropdown options) Active listings > Inactive listings > etc.
Thanks,
your FAN.
Sorry – it is hard to tell from a comment – the details are on the page. You could try Selectorlib or other tools to find the selector.
Cheers!
Is there a knowledgebase that I can reference. I haven’t been able to get this tool to work for any site to create (import) a sitemap. I get errors every time I try to import, “HTTP error: status code 404, net::ERR_UNKNOWN_URL_SCHEME”. I thought it may be that I have a conflicting extension with HTTPS Everywhere, but disabling that didn’t change the resulting error. Is HTTPS an issue, or is there something else causing this error? I’m stuck.
Thanks!

Hi,
You could try our pre-built Amazon Review scraper here -https://www.scrapehero.com/marketplace/amazon-reviews/ . You need to only provide a product URL or ASIN as input, no need to import site map or do any manual work.
The site map provided in this post will need to be updated every time Amazon makes any minor change in their website structure. This issue is completely avoidable while using ScrapeHero Cloud scraper – https://www.scrapehero.com/marketplace/amazon-reviews/
Thanks.
