One thing they don’t provide though, is easy use of product data.

Currently, there’s no way exporting products data from Amazon to any spreadsheet for all business requirements you could have. Either for comparison shopping, competitor research, or building an API for app projects.

Data scraping could easily resolve this issue.

Web scraping would help you choose any particular data you would need from Amazon website in the JSON file or spreadsheet. You can even make that an automatic procedure that works on an everyday, weekly or monthly basis to continuously updating data.

In this example, we would extract products data from Amazon results pages for “computer monitor”. We would scrape information accessible both on results pages as well as information accessible on all product pages.

Let’s Start

Extracting Amazon Products Page

1. Firstly, on left-hand sidebar, just click on 3 dots along the main_template text.

5. Scroll down “Product Information” section of a page as well as using Select command, just click on initial element of a list. In that case, it would be Screen Size items.

$e.text.contains(“Screen Size”)

10. Then, we will utilize PLUS (+) symbol along our provisional command to add a command called ‘Relative Select’. Now, we will use Relative Select command for initially clicking the Screen Size text as well as on the real measurements alongside it (21.5 inches).

11. Now Web Screen Scraping scraper will scrape product’s screen sizes in its own columns. We could copy-paste the provisional command we have just made to get other details. Just ensure to edit conditional expression. For instance, the ASIN expression would be:

$e.text.contains(“ASIN")

12. Finally, ensure that your provisional selections are associated properly so that they aren’t nested among themselves. You could drag & drop selections for fixing this. The last template will look like:

Add Pagination

Now, you may need to extract many pages worth data for the project. Up to now, we are extracting page 1 of search results. Let’s set Web Screen Scraping for navigating to next 10 result pages.

1. On left-hand sidebar, just return to search_results_page templates. You may also want to change a browser tab to search result pages also.

2. Click on PLUS (+) symbol along the pages selection as well as opt the ‘Select’ command.
