# How to Scrape Amazon Product Data

Amazon product pages render dynamically and include compatibility layers that block most simple scrapers. Extracting prices, ratings, and availability requires a reliable browser-rendering pipeline that handles these compatibility requirements automatically.

## Step-by-Step Guide

1

### Get your AlterLab API key

Sign up at alterlab.io and copy your API key from the dashboard. No credit card required to start.

2

### Send the product URL to the API

POST the Amazon product URL to the /api/v1/scrape endpoint. AlterLab handles browser rendering and data extraction automatically.

3

### Parse the returned HTML

Use a library like BeautifulSoup (Python) or Cheerio (Node.js) to parse the clean HTML response. Target CSS selectors for price, title, and rating elements.

4

### Store and schedule recurring requests

Save the extracted data to your database and schedule repeat requests to track price changes over time.

## Code Example

Python

```
import requests

API_KEY = "YOUR_API_KEY"

response = requests.post(
    "https://alterlab.io/api/v1/scrape",
    headers={"X-API-Key": API_KEY, "Content-Type": "application/json"},
    json={
        "url": "https://www.amazon.com/dp/B09G3HRMVB",
        "render_js": "auto",
    },
)

html = response.json()["html"]
print(f"Status: {response.json()['status_code']}")
```

Replace `YOUR_API_KEY` with your key from the . No credit card required.

## Frequently Asked Questions

### Does AlterLab handle Amazon's dynamic product pages?

Yes. AlterLab uses full browser rendering to load JavaScript and resolve compatibility layers before returning HTML, so you get the fully rendered page every time.

### Can I extract structured JSON data instead of raw HTML?

AlterLab returns the rendered HTML. You can use any HTML parsing library (BeautifulSoup, Cheerio, lxml) to extract the specific fields you need.

### Responsible Use

AlterLab is designed for extracting publicly available data. Always review the terms of service for any website you access, respect `robots.txt` directives, and ensure your use case complies with applicable laws in your jurisdiction.
