Amazon Best Sellers API. Best sellers, on request.

Top 100 products of any category, ranked. We handle the proxies, blocks and platform changes.

Returns Amazon's Best Sellers of a category, ranked from the top, from its department, browse node or Best Sellers link, on any Amazon marketplace. Each product has its rank, ASIN, title, image, current price, star rating and exact rating count, and a book's author. The same category's New Releases come back the same way.

One schema on 3 platforms.

The response reference lists every field, its type and when it is null. See the full schema.

Null means unknown
A field Amazon doesn't show is null, never zero or an empty string, so a real zero always means zero.
No input needed
Every parameter is optional: the plain request returns the default list.
Write one parser
Amazon, TikTok Shop and Facebook Marketplace answer in these fields, so the code that reads one reads them all.

platformstring: Platform ID (tiktokshop, facebook, …).
idstring: Platform-native product or listing ID (string).
urlstring: Canonical product page URL.
typestring: product: a catalog product a shop sells in many units, often in variants (TikTok Shop, Instagram and YouTube shopping); listing: a single item a person or business lists for sale (Facebook Marketplace). New values may be added; treat unknown values as product.
titlestring: Product name or listing title, as the seller wrote it.
descriptionstring: Description as plain text (paragraphs separated by blank lines); null when it has none or the source does not show it (lists and search results).
categorystring: The platform's most specific category label (Bicycles, Vitamins & Supplements), as shown; not normalized across platforms.
category_idstring: The platform's ID of that category (what its category browsing and filters take).

Watch a product's Best Sellers Rank

Good to know before you build.

Amazon ranks the top hundred of each list, fifty to a page, so a list ends after its second page with page.end_reason end.
platform_specific.amazon.rank is the product's place in the list you asked for. Description, specifications, seller and variations aren't on a list: send the ASIN to the Amazon Product API for them.
A product with no featured offer shows the lowest of its offers as price, and platform_specific.amazon.metrics.offer_count counts them.
list also takes movers_and_shakers, most_wished_for and gift_ideas, but Amazon shows no products in those three lists today, in any category or marketplace we checked. Most Wished For and Gift Ideas of a category Amazon names come back as an empty page with page.end_reason end. Movers & Shakers, and those two lists of a browse node sent alone, return not_found, because Amazon's page names no category for them.
A category Amazon doesn't know returns not_found.
Prices and lists are the marketplace's own, in its currency, and each marketplace has its own departments and slugs.

1 credit per page. Failed requests are free.

Buy credits once and spend them on any endpoint, on any platform.

Plans and packs How this endpoint is priced How credits work

Source	Price per successful page	Per 1,000 pages
Public page `page`	1 credit	$0.75–$1.97

Cache hits are free.
Credits from packs and top-ups never expire.
A monthly plan's credits are spent first, and what is left of them ends at each renewal.
Prices exclude tax: sales tax is added at checkout where it applies.
Outside the US, plans and packs are sold to businesses: checkout asks for your VAT, GST or other business tax ID.
