# Amazon Reviews API Amazon Returns the top customer reviews an Amazon product page shows, from the product's link, short link or ASIN, on any Amazon marketplace outside the US. Each review has its star rating, title, full text and language, the reviewer with their profile link, the variation bought, whether the purchase is verified, how many people found it helpful, its photos and videos, and the date and country it was written in. GET `/v1/amazon/reviews` ## Example cURL: ```shell curl -G 'https://socialtap.dev/v1/amazon/reviews' \ --data-urlencode 'url=https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/0735211299' \ -H "x-api-key: $SOCIALTAP_API_KEY" ``` TypeScript SDK: ```typescript import { SocialTap } from "socialtap"; const client = new SocialTap(); // apiKey defaults to process.env.SOCIALTAP_API_KEY const res = await client.amazon.reviews.list({ url: "https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/0735211299" }); console.log(res.data); console.log(res.credits.charged, res.meta.request_id); ``` Node.js (fetch): ```javascript const params = new URLSearchParams({ url: "https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/0735211299", }); const res = await fetch(`https://socialtap.dev/v1/amazon/reviews?${params}`, { headers: { "x-api-key": process.env.SOCIALTAP_API_KEY ??

[Authentication](https://socialtap.dev/docs/authentication/index.md) ## Query parameters | Name | Type | Description | Example | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | `url` required | `string`
max 2,048 chars | The product: its link on any Amazon marketplace (amazon.co.uk/dp/B003AIF4Q4, with or without the title before /dp/, /gp/product/, /gp/aw/d/, /product-reviews/ and the older /exec/obidos/ASIN/ links), a short link (amzn.to, a.co/d/, amzn.eu/d/, amzn.asia/d/, amzn.com), or its ASIN alone (B003AIF4Q4, or a book's ISBN-10) with country. | `https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B003AIF4Q4` | | `country` optional | `string`
iso3166-1-alpha-2 | Region: an ISO 3166-1 alpha-2 country code such as US or BR (case-insensitive). The Amazon marketplace to read, by country: GB (amazon.co.uk), DE, FR, IT, ES, CA, JP, IN, AU, … Each shows its own customers' top reviews first, then top reviews from other countries. Default: the link's marketplace, else US (amazon.com, which shows reviews only to signed-in visitors). | `GB` | | `since` optional | `string`
date-time | Only items at or after this time: RFC 3339 (2026-10-01T12:00:00Z) or a date (2026-10-01, midnight UTC). On newest-first lists, paging stops when it is reached, so later pages are not fetched or charged. | `2026-10-01` | | `until` optional | `string`
date-time | Only items before this time (exclusive): RFC 3339 or a date (midnight UTC). | `2026-10-08` | | `limit` optional | `integer`
min 1
max 20 | Items per page, 1 to the endpoint's page size (its default and maximum; larger values are reduced to it). Omit it: every page costs the same, so a smaller limit means more pages to pay for. | `20` | | `cursor` optional | `string` | page.next_cursor from the previous response. Send the same other parameters; omit to start from the first page. | — | `url` takes Amazon product links; another kind of link, or another platform's, fails free with [`invalid_input`](https://socialtap.dev/docs/errors/index.md#invalid_input). Unknown parameters are rejected with a suggestion, never ignored ([Requests](https://socialtap.dev/docs/requests/index.md)). `limit` and `cursor` page through the list: see Pagination. **Parameters every endpoint accepts** | Name | Type | Description | Example | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | `max_age` optional | `integer`
min 0 | Accept a cached response up to this many seconds old. Cache hits cost 0 credits. Omit to always fetch fresh. The Cache-Control: max-age=N request header is equivalent; max_age wins when both are sent. | — | | `fields` optional | `string` | Return only these fields of each item: comma-separated paths in the schema's notation (id,text,metrics.view_count,segments\[\].text; a parent path keeps the whole object). Unknown paths are rejected. Applied after the cache, so it changes neither the price nor cache hits; page and meta are always returned whole. | — | ## Response ### 200 `{data, page, meta}`. `data` is an array of up to 20 [review](https://socialtap.dev/resources/review/index.md) objects, Amazon's top reviews: the marketplace's own first, then other countries'; `page` says how to get the next page; `meta` describes the request ([meta](https://socialtap.dev/docs/reference/index.md#meta)). The fields are the shared review schema, the same on both platforms that serve it. | Field | Type | Description | | --- | --- | --- | | `data[].platform` | `string` | Platform ID (tiktokshop, …). | | `data[].id` | `string` | Platform-native review ID (string). | | `data[].product_id` | `string` or `null` | ID of the product reviewed (equals product.id); null only for a review of something other than a product. | | `data[].url` | `string` (uri) or `null` | Permalink, when the platform has one (TikTok Shop reviews have none). | | `data[].rating` | `integer` or `null` | Star rating, 1 to 5; null when the review gives none. | | `data[].title` | `string` or `null` | The review's headline; null when it has none. | | `data[].text` | `string` or `null` | Review body as plain text; null for a rating without text. | | `data[].language` | `string` or `null` | BCP-47 language of text, when the platform states it. | | `data[].author` | `object` | The reviewing account, as the platform shows it (some platforms mask the name, e.g. G\*\*a, and show no handle); every field null for an anonymous review. | | `data[].author.id` | `string` or `null` | Platform-native account ID; null when only the handle is known. | | `data[].author.username` | `string` or `null` | Handle without the @; null when the account has none. | | `data[].author.display_name` | `string` or `null` | Display name shown on the profile. | | `data[].author.url` | `string` (uri) or `null` | Canonical profile URL. | | `data[].author.avatar_url` | `string` (uri) or `null` | Profile picture URL.

One of `image`, `video`, `audio`, `gif` | | `data[].media[].url` | `string` (uri) or `null` | Direct file URL; null when the platform withholds it, or when the link would only work from SocialTap's network or with a login. Often signed and expiring: see expires_at. | | `data[].media[].expires_at` | `string` (date-time) or `null` | When url stops working, RFC 3339 UTC, read from the platform's signed URL; null when unknown or when it does not expire. | | `data[].media[].thumbnail_url` | `string` (uri) or `null` | Poster or preview image URL. | | `data[].media[].width` | `integer` or `null` | Width in pixels. | | `data[].media[].height` | `integer` or `null` | Height in pixels. | | `data[].media[].duration_ms` | `integer` or `null` | Duration in milliseconds (video and audio only). | | `data[].media[].alt_text` | `string` or `null` | Accessibility text provided by the author or platform. | | `data[].country_code` | `string` or `null` | ISO 3166-1 alpha-2 country the review was written in, as the platform states it. | | `data[].is_verified_purchase` | `boolean` or `null` | The platform marks the reviewer as having bought the product through it. | | `data[].is_incentivized` | `boolean` or `null` | The platform marks the review as written in exchange for a free product or reward. | | `data[].published_at` | `string` (date-time) or `null` | When the review was posted, RFC 3339 UTC. | | `data[].metrics` | `object` | Counts at fetch time; null = hidden or not exposed, 0 = zero. | | `data[].metrics.helpful_count` | `integer` or `null` | Readers who marked the review helpful; null when the platform shows no such count. | | `data[].platform_specific` | `object` | Fields only this platform has, under its ID (platform_specific.\); each null when unknown. | | `data[].approximate_fields` | `string[]` | JSON paths of values rounded by the platform or parsed from display text (a date-only time). \[\] when all exact. | | `data[].unknown_fields` | `string[]` | JSON paths of lists whose \[\] means unknown rather than none (a source that cannot see a review's photos); null already means unknown for every other field. \[\] when every list is known. | not_found and private_or_unavailable are item-level: the request was fine, the item can't be returned. ### 400 400 Bad Request: 2 error codes. Free: errors cost nothing. | Code | HTTP | Retry | Meaning | What to do | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | `invalid_input` | 400 | No | A parameter is missing or malformed, or the link is not one this endpoint takes. | Fix the parameter named in param as the message says. For a link of the wrong kind, call an endpoint listed in details.endpoints, when there is one. | | `invalid_cursor` | 400 | No | The cursor is malformed or expired, belongs to another endpoint, or came with other parameters than the request that returned it. | Repeat the original request without cursor to start the list again. | ### 401 401 Unauthorized: 1 error code. Free: errors cost nothing. | Code | HTTP | Retry | Meaning | What to do | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | `unauthorized` | 401 | No | The x-api-key header is missing, or its key is unknown or revoked. On the dashboard's routes: the session cookie is missing or expired. | Send a valid API key in the x-api-key header. No key yet? A person gets one at details.signup_url; an AI agent follows details.agent_auth_url. | ### 402 402 Payment Required: 2 error codes. Free: errors cost nothing. | Code | HTTP | Retry | Meaning | What to do | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | `insufficient_credits` | 402 | No | The account does not have enough credits for this request. | Have a person buy credits at details.purchase_url (or make them a checkout link with details.checkout), then repeat the request. Do not retry automatically. | | `spend_limit_reached` | 402 | No | The API key reached its spend limit for this period. The account may still have credits. | Wait until details.resets_at, or raise the key's spend limit (PATCH /v1/api_keys/{id}). Do not retry automatically. | ### 403 403 Forbidden: 2 error codes. Free: errors cost nothing. | Code | HTTP | Retry | Meaning | What to do | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | `forbidden` | 403 | No | The API key is valid but may not make this request, and details.reason says why: the account is suspended, the key lacks the route's scope, waits for its owner to confirm it by email, has expired, or was used from an IP outside its allowlist, or a rotated key's previous secret was used for a call that needs the admin scope. A running job stops with it too when its account is suspended or the key that created it is revoked or expires. It is about the key, never the item: a private item is private_or_unavailable, also 403, so branch on the code. | Act on details.reason. suspended: contact [support](mailto:support@socialtap.dev). scope: use a key with details.required_scope. previous_secret: use the new secret. key_pending: have the owner open the emailed link. key_expired or key_revoked: create a new key. ip_not_allowed: call from an allowed IP. | | `private_or_unavailable` | 403 | No | The item exists but is not public: it is private, age- or region-restricted, or needs a login to view. It shares 403 with forbidden (which is about the key), so branch on the code. | Only public items can be fetched. Do not retry. | ### 404 404 Not Found: 1 error code. Free: errors cost nothing. | Code | HTTP | Retry | Meaning | What to do | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | `not_found` | 404 | No | The item does not exist or was deleted. On GET /v1/requests/{id}/response: the response was not kept (details.reason says why). | Check the link or ID. Do not retry. | ### 429 429 Too Many Requests: 1 error code. Free: errors cost nothing. | Code | HTTP | Retry | Meaning | What to do | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | `rate_limited` | 429 | Yes, later | The account passed its runaway-protection ceiling: a high per-account limit that stops a broken client loop (plans have no rate limit). Requests without an API key (signup, the MCP server's tool listing and find_endpoint) are limited per IP address instead. It also stops an account whose failed requests in the last hour cost far more than its successful ones paid for: failures are free within a limit (the message says so), and successes raise it. | Wait the seconds in the retry-after header, then retry. If your steady traffic needs more, ask [support](mailto:support@socialtap.dev) to raise the ceiling; without an API key, send one. | ### 500 500 Internal Error: 1 error code. Free: errors cost nothing. | Code | HTTP | Retry | Meaning | What to do | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | `internal` | 500 | Yes, later | An unexpected error on SocialTap's side. | Retry with backoff. If it keeps happening, contact [support](mailto:support@socialtap.dev) with the request_id. | ### 502 502 Bad Gateway: 1 error code. Free: errors cost nothing. | Code | HTTP | Retry | Meaning | What to do | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | `upstream_error` | 502 | Yes, later | The platform failed, or answered with something we could not read. | Retry with backoff. Failed requests are free. | ### 503 503 Unavailable: 2 error codes. Free: errors cost nothing. | Code | HTTP | Retry | Meaning | What to do | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | `upstream_blocked` | 503 | Yes, later | The platform refused every attempt, our own retries included. | Retry later with backoff. Failed requests are free. | | `overloaded` | 503 | Yes, later | SocialTap was at capacity, or paused by its operators, and did not start the request. Nothing was fetched or charged. | Retry after the seconds in the retry-after header. Failed requests are free. | ## Pagination Items come in pages, **Amazon's top reviews: the marketplace's own first, then other countries'**. To get the next page, send **the same request plus `cursor`** set to `page.next_cursor` from the previous response. Keep every other parameter the same (limit, max_age and fields may change); anything else that differs is rejected. When `page.has_more` is `false` the walk is over, and `page.end_reason` says why: only `end` means you have every item (the others say the platform or a page cap stopped the walk early). - **Order**: Amazon's top reviews: the marketplace's own first, then other countries' - **Page size**: Up to 20 top customer reviews (the default; `limit` lowers it) - **Cursor lifetime**: 24 hours; don't store cursors - **Price**: Per page, 1 credit ### The `page` object | Field | Type | Description | | --- | --- | --- | | `page.has_more` | `boolean` | True when another page exists; then next_cursor is set. An empty page with has_more true is not the end. | | `page.next_cursor` | `string` or `null` | Pass as cursor, with the same other parameters, to get the next page; null at the end. | | `page.next_cursor_expires_at` | `string` (date-time) or `null` | When next_cursor stops working, RFC 3339 UTC; null at the end. Don't store cursors. | | `page.end_reason` | `string` or `null` | Why there are no more pages; null while has_more is true. end: the list ended, or reached since/until. platform_limit: the platform stops serving further pages although the list goes on. max_pages: SocialTap's cap on pages in one walk. New values may be added. A short or empty page is not the end: only has_more false is.
One of `end`, `platform_limit`, `max_pages` | ### Next page cURL: next page: ```shell curl -G 'https://socialtap.dev/v1/amazon/reviews' \ --data-urlencode 'url=https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/0735211299' \ --data-urlencode 'cursor=NEXT_CURSOR' \ -H "x-api-key: $SOCIALTAP_API_KEY" ``` - The price is per page: each successful page costs the same, whatever `limit` is and however many items it has. Empty pages are charged too (an empty page with `has_more: true` is not the end). - A `limit` below 20 doesn't save credits: the next request serves the rest of the same platform page, which is fetched again and charged as a page each time, and items can shift between those requests if the platform changes the list. Omitting `limit` is the cheapest way to walk the list. - Errors are free, including a rejected cursor. - Pages served from the cache are free. - An expired or altered cursor, or one sent with different parameters, fails with [`invalid_cursor`](https://socialtap.dev/docs/errors/index.md#invalid_cursor) (HTTP 400): Repeat the original request without cursor to start the list again. [Pagination guide](https://socialtap.dev/docs/pagination/index.md) ## Pricing From **1 credit** per page. Charged per successful page, whatever its number of items. Errors are free. The price depends on the source that produced the result, reported as `meta.source`. | Source | Price per successful page | Per 1,000 pages | | --- | --- | --- | | Public page `page` | 1 credit | $0.75–$1.97 | **Balance, sources and what you were charged** Your balance must be at least **1 credit** to start a request; with less, it is refused with [`insufficient_credits`](https://socialtap.dev/docs/errors/index.md#insufficient_credits) (HTTP 402) and costs nothing. Only that minimum is set aside when the request starts. | meta.source | Source | What it means | | --- | --- | --- | | `page` | Public page | Data embedded in the platform's public web page. | `meta.credits_charged` and the `x-credits-charged` header show what you paid.
