Dashboard

  • /app/settings/billing: PAYG top-up calculator now updates the “Credits you’ll get” and “Basic scrapes” fields live as you type.
  • Loading skeletons added to dashboard home, billing, usage, and API keys routes - no more blank flash on first navigation.
  • Sidebar “Documentation” link now points at the new /docs site.

Docs

  • Launched /docs on the marketing site. 11 pages to start: Getting started, 3 endpoints (product / search / batch), 6 guides (auth, errors, rate limits, SDKs, billing, country & language), and this changelog.
  • Added /docs/llms.txt, /docs/llms-full.txt, and an .md variant for every doc URL so LLMs / coding agents can ingest the full corpus cheaply.

SDKs

  • amazon-scraper-api-sdk (Node) v0.1.4 - README updated with 5-credit pricing, removed claims about “no credit system”.
  • amazonscraperapi-sdk (Python) v0.1.4 - same.
  • amazon-scraper-api-sdk-go v0.1.4 - same.

API

  • Credit rebase: 1 basic scrape is now priced at 5 credits (was 1). Plan allowances and PAYG packages scaled x5 accordingly - your dollar-cost-per-scrape is unchanged. The “1 credit = 1 scrape” pre-launch shorthand only applied to internal testing.
  • Headers prefix changed from Spb-* to Asa-*. Old prefix will keep returning values for 90 days, then be removed.

Dashboard

  • Live credit balance now read from authoritative ledger on every page load - no more stale numbers from cached mirrors.
  • Monthly usage graph restyled with visible bars even on zero-credit days.

2026-04-10

API

  • Shipped production success-rate improvements for Amazon’s latest A/B layout. Measured SR jumped from ~87% to ~97% on a 30-query mixed international set.
  • Parser hardening: gift-card and subscription-plan Amazon product templates now extract correctly instead of hitting extraction_failed.

2026-04-01

API

  • render_js and screenshot query params reserved. Passing either returns 501 not_implemented today; the real implementation is on the roadmap for Q3.
  • New response header Asa-Attempts reports how many internal retries we used to fetch your page.

Billing

  • Non-2xx responses are now guaranteed free - no edge case where a partial 502 is charged. See Billing policy.

Earlier

Older entries predate the public launch and aren’t preserved here. If you need historical info (old behaviour of a specific endpoint), email info@amazonscraperapi.com and we’ll pull it from internal records.
