# Amazon Product Search API (https://www.socialcrawl.dev/platforms/amazon/product-search)

> Returns organic Amazon search results for a keyword: title, price, list price, rating, image, and ASIN per product. Where Amazon shows its monthly purchase badge, `product.ext.bought_past_month_label` carries Amazon's text in the marketplace's own language ("9K+ bought in past month", "2000+ Mal im letzten Monat gekauft") and `product.ext.bought_past_month` its LOWER BOUND as an integer (9000; a badge reading "2000+" means at least 2000, not exactly 2000). Parsed for US, GB, CA, AU, IN, DE, FR, IT, ES, MX, NL, BR and JP. Both are null when the row shows no badge, and the number is null on a badge with no count ("New on Amazon in past month") or in a wording we have not parsed (the label is still returned as-is). Calls served from the secondary source, including `depth` calls it answers, carry the number without a label. Multiply it by `price.current` per `country` for an estimate of monthly spend by marketplace. Results reflect the chosen marketplace (default United States). Sponsored placements and related searches are excluded in v1. Paginate with the universal cursor parameter; pass depth instead if you need a single large page. A `depth` of 1 to 3 that the depth backend cannot answer within the request budget is served from the default page instead. That answer is cut to `depth` rows, has `data.details.depth_truncated` set to `true`, and is complete: it has no next page (`next_cursor` is null and `has_more` is false). A `depth` of 4 or more is never served that way, and a timeout is auto-refunded.

TL;DR: `GET /v1/amazon/product-search` costs 1 credit per call and returns SocialCrawl's unified JSON schema. Single x-api-key auth, 100 free credits on signup.

## Parameters

| Parameter | Required | Description |
| --- | --- | --- |
| `query` | yes | Search keyword or phrase. |
| `country` | no | Amazon marketplace as an ISO 3166-1 alpha-2 country code (default US). Supported: US, GB, CA, DE, FR, IT, ES, JP, IN, MX, BR, AU, NL. Non-US marketplaces are best-effort; an occasional timeout is refunded. (US \| GB \| CA \| DE \| FR \| IT \| ES \| JP \| IN \| MX \| BR \| AU \| NL) |
| `depth` | no | Maximum number of products to return in ONE call (default 20, max 700). Use it when you would rather make a single large request than paginate: it selects a different, slower search backend whose latency grows with depth, and a timeout is auto-refunded. Leave it unset for the fast default page size, which is the better choice for keyword→ASIN resolution. A depth of 1 to 3 falls back to the fast default page when the slower backend times out, so that answer has at most `depth` rows and carries `data.details.depth_truncated: true`. When the slower backend answers it may return more rows than `depth` (it returns its whole first page), as before. |
| `page` | no | Page number, starting at 1. Prefer the universal cursor parameter. |
| `max_pages` | no | 1 to 50 (default 1, or 50 when `max_items` or `max_credits` is sent). Walk up to this many pages in one call and return the rows from all of them. Each page walked is billed exactly as one call to this endpoint (a cached page is free) and counts against your rate limit; its charge and any refund are recorded under the page's own request id, listed in `data.walk.request_ids`. The walk stops early at the last page, or when the request's time budget runs low; `data.walk.stopped` says why (`end`, `max_pages`, `max_items`, `max_credits`, `time_budget`, `page_error`) and `pagination.next_cursor` continues from where it stopped. |
| `max_items` | no | 1 to 5000. Get more in one call: keep walking pages until the response holds at least this many rows, then stop with `data.walk.stopped: "max_items"`. The last page is returned whole (it was billed), so `data.items` can hold up to one page more than this, and `pagination.next_cursor` resumes right after it without skipping a row. Walks up to 50 pages unless `max_pages` says fewer; each page is billed as one call (a cached page is free). Add `max_credits` to cap the spend. A long walk can stop on the time budget first (`"time_budget"`): send the returned cursor with the same params to continue. |
| `max_credits` | no | 1 to 100000. The most this call may spend, across every page it walks. A page starts only while the credits already spent plus that page's price (or, when higher, the most any page of this walk has cost) still fit, so the call never goes past it; the walk then stops with `data.walk.stopped: "max_credits"` and the cursor to resume. Sent alone, it walks as far as the budget goes (up to 50 pages). A value below the price of one page is a free 400 whose `error.details.page_credits` names that price. Credits a row join (`include=`) adds are known only once a page has run, so page 1 is checked against its own price. |

## FAQ

### How do I search Amazon products with an API?

Send a GET request to /v1/amazon/product-search with a query parameter holding your keyword. The response returns Amazon's organic search results, each product carrying its title, price, rating, image, and ASIN in a unified JSON shape.

### What does the Amazon Product Search API return per product?

Each result includes the product title, price, customer rating, primary image URL, and ASIN. The ASIN lets you call /v1/amazon/product or /v1/amazon/reviews next for full detail on any item you find.

### Which Amazon marketplaces does the search API support?

You can target 13 marketplaces with the country parameter: US, GB, CA, DE, FR, IT, ES, JP, IN, MX, BR, AU, and NL. It defaults to US (ISO 3166-1 alpha-2 codes) when country is omitted.

### How many products can one search request return?

Use the depth parameter to set the maximum number of products, up to 700 in a single call. Leave it off and you get the standard first page of organic results for your query.

### How much does the Amazon Product Search API cost?

Each search request costs 1 credit on the standard tier, regardless of how many products come back. New accounts start with 100 free credits and no credit card, so you can run around 100 searches before paying.
