Amazon Product Reviews API
A GET request to our /api/getter/?platform="amazon_reviews" endpoint allows you to scrape customer reviews for any product listing URL on BestBuy.com in real-time.
Example
To scrape customer reviews for the latest iPhone, you can use the following command:
1 | |
Note
When using curl, it is necessary to add the option -L to get the data back. This is because in some cases our server responds with a 301 and curl does not follow the redirect by default.
Query Parameters
As you can see in the example below, our endpoint needs the following query parameters:
Review Query
url
Required
Product listing's URL on Amazon. Remove unnecessary query parameters and encode the URL.
page
Optional
The page number for which you want the results. Default value is 1. Please note that Amazon removed the ability to view reviews beyond page 10 starting July, 2023; so the max accepted value for this parameter for now is 10.
sort_by
Optional
The order in which you want the reviews to be sorted. Supported values are recent and helpful. The default value for this parameter is recent.
filter_by_star
Optional
As the name suggests, this parameter allows you to filter the reviews by star. This is one way to get more than 100 reviews for a particular product on Amazon after they removed the ability to view reviews beyond page 10. Support values are: all_stars, five_star, four_star, three_star, two_star and one_star. The default value for this parameter is all_stars.
Other Required Parameters
platform
Required
Specifies the scraping engine you wish to invoke. In this case, the value should be amazon_reviews.
api_key
Required
Your account's token—which can be obtained by signing up here.
Note
The value of the query parameter url must be URL or percent encoded. If you're using Python, this can be done with the function urlencode.
