Step 2: Input the Details for the Amazon Bestseller Crawler
To choose the best seller URL you must go to the Amazon Best Seller page and choose any category from the sidebar.
Copy the webpage URL and paste it in the BestSeller Category URLs field of this scraper. Here is an example: https://www.amazon.com/Best-Sellers-Computers-Accessories-Laptop/zgbs/pc/565108/
To get best seller data from multiple categories, go to ‘Input’ in Advanced Mode and add the URL of each best seller list as a new line to the Best Seller URLs. Then click on ‘Save Settings’.

Thank you for this tutorial!
However, the next button didn’t work for me. seeing the graph in the Link Selector page of the Documentation here, I think next has product and next as parents, not _root ? https://www.webscraper.io/documentation#link-selector
Anyway, in my example (although it is a little bit different from this one), I did like that and it worked 🙂
Hi Kaori, I am learning to Scrape too. It worked for me as in the example. I am looking for scraping tools to get data from yellowpages.com or that kind of things, so if you want to talk about it, send me an email to alvarovidal8@outlook.com
I am having trouble following the videos because they move so fast. I can create a product selector, but I can not get the selectors to show as a child. Can anyone help me? Please?
Hi Frank,
You can pause the videos and look at the screenshots in detail to follow along.
Thanks
Hi Frank,
Is there any way to automate this? For example, pull data on the 1st of every month.
I have imported the Amazon BestSeller Scraper and changed the homepage in the sitemap, and it works brilliantly. How can I add a product description to the scraped data?
