Amazon Scraper API vs Oxylabs, in short

Amazon Scraper API is a focused alternative to Oxylabs for Amazon data, with two practical differences: billing is true success-only (Oxylabs counts both 2xx and 4xx responses as billable results), and there is no monthly minimum to start. Both return structured Amazon fields, but ours are parsed by default and the free tier renews monthly instead of running for about a week.

Frequently asked questions

How is Amazon Scraper API billing different from Oxylabs?

expand_more

Oxylabs documents that it counts both 2xx and 4xx responses as successful results and bills them, while only 5xx and 6xx system errors are free. Amazon Scraper API bills only 2xx responses. In a real Amazon job that contains delisted ASINs or blocked pages, that difference means you pay for fewer requests, because the 404s and blocks are free on our side.

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.
