Amazon scraping tool – how to extract product listings

But when you start looking for an Amazon data extractor you may feel confused as there are many tools and services for fetching product listings from the marketplace. In this article, we will make a short overview of the most popular tools and show you how the extraction with the data on demand service works.

Approaches to the Amazon Data Extraction

There is no one-size-fits-all solution as many merchants have different goals and resources. Here are the main methods to obtain data from Amazon:

• writing a script– the benefit of scripts is that you can configure them as you wish. Using a script implies that you have enough coding knowledge. If Amazon changes current structure of its web pages, which happens periodically, the script may stop working and you will need to modify it accordingly.


• Amazon scraper software – it gives you freedom in solving various tasks and requires less tech knowledge. Software applications usually come with step by step tutorials that help you set up the crawler on your own. But you obviously have to invest your time in learning and the extraction process itself. And mind that you have to configure it properly to imitate human behavior and avoid being banned by Amazon. Especially if you need to extract large amounts of data.


• your own tech team – this is a good solution when you need to scrape large databases regularly from different sources, including Amazon, and when you have custom tasks that can not be solved with generic software.


• on-demand service – it is the best choice when you need a one time extraction, you are a non-tech person, or you don’t have time to delve into the peculiarities of the scraping software. The advantage of the on-demand service is that you pay for the result – extracted data.
