Search

Overview

The Search operation is used to perform a keyword or URL-based search on Amazon and retrieve a list of products that appear in the results. This mimics what a user would see when they type a query into Amazon's search bar or visit a search result page.

With this operation, users can access:

  • Ranked product listings (with ASINs)

  • Product titles and prices

  • Thumbnail images

  • Ratings and review counts

  • Prime eligibility

  • Availability of sponsored placements

Use Cases

  • Conducting keyword research

  • Monitoring product visibility and ranking

  • Tracking competitors for specific search terms

  • Extracting product lists for a niche or category

  • Building SEO or listing optimization tools

Accepted Input Types

  • keyword (e.g. wireless mouse)

  • url (e.g. https://www.amazon.com/s?k=wireless+mouse)

Both keyword and search URL are supported. Using keyword is generally simpler and more robust for automation.

Available Through

This operation is available via both Realtime Service and Bulk Service. The bulk version supports batch keyword searches and is useful for large-scale SEO or category monitoring.
