Frequently asked questions

Do you need KYC to use Amazon Scraper API like Bright Data?

expand_more

No. Bright Data requires business KYC (a company-domain email, a use-case review, sometimes a video call, and funding the account) before its gated residential and unblocking features become available. Amazon Scraper API is self-serve: sign up, get an API key, and use your 1,000 free requests immediately, no card and no verification call.

What is the best Amazon Scraper API alternative?

expand_more

The best alternative depends on what you scrape. For Amazon specifically, the differentiators that matter are success-only billing (you do not pay for blocks or not-found pages), structured JSON parsed by default, the number of Amazon marketplaces covered, and a free tier you can actually test on. Amazon Scraper API covers all 20 Amazon marketplaces, bills only 2xx responses, returns about 55 structured product fields, and starts with 1,000 free requests per month.

How many free Amazon requests do you get?

expand_more

Every Amazon Scraper API account starts with 1,000 free requests per month, with no card required and no daily cap. The free balance renews monthly, and any pay-as-you-go balance you add never expires.

Does Amazon Scraper API charge for failed requests?

expand_more

No. Billing is success-only: a request that returns a 2xx response with data costs credits, and any non-2xx response (a 404 not-found, a block, or a timeout) costs zero. This is the main billing difference from several competitors that count 4xx responses as billable.
