--- title: "Get Amazon Best Sellers in a category" method: GET path: "/amazon/best-sellers" tags: ["amazon"] --- # Get Amazon Best Sellers in a category `GET /amazon/best-sellers` ## Request - Base URL: `https://www.socialcrawl.dev/v1` - URL: `https://www.socialcrawl.dev/v1/amazon/best-sellers` - Auth: API key in header `x-api-key` Returns ranked Amazon Best Seller listings for a category: ASIN, title, price, rating, and image. Pass type to switch to New Releases, Most Wished For, or Gift Ideas. Movers and Shakers is accepted but currently returns an empty list at 0 credits, because Amazon publishes no Movers and Shakers rows on the marketplaces we checked. Amazon serves up to two pages of 50; a page past the last typically 503s and is refunded. ## Query parameters - `category` string, required - `country` 'US' | 'GB' | 'CA' | 'DE' | 'FR' | 'IT' | 'ES' | 'JP' | 'IN' | 'MX' | 'BR' | 'AU' | 'NL' - `type` 'BEST_SELLERS' | 'NEW_RELEASES' | 'MOVERS_AND_SHAKERS' | 'MOST_WISHED_FOR' | 'GIFT_IDEAS' - `page` integer - `cursor` string ## Headers - `Cache-Control` string - `Idempotency-Key` string ## Response `200` Successful response - object - `success` boolean, required: Whether the request succeeded - `platform` string, required: Platform name - `endpoint` string, required: API endpoint path - `data` object, required: Platform-specific response data - `items` object[]: Array of canonical product wrappers ({ product }) - `product` object: Canonical Product object (unified across commerce platforms) - `id` string: Platform product ID (Amazon ASIN / Google Shopping product id) - `url` string, nullable: Direct URL to the product page - `title` string, nullable: Product title - `description` string, nullable: String at product.description - `seller` string, nullable: String at product.seller - `brand` string, nullable: Brand name (cleaned).

`next_cursor` string, nullable: Opaque cursor for the next page. Pass it back as a query parameter on endpoints that support pagination. Present only when the upstream reports more results. - `total` integer, nullable: Total number of matching results, when the upstream provides a count. Omitted otherwise. - `dropped` integer, required: Number of upstream list items dropped because they could not be repaired to the endpoint schema. Valid list responses include 0. - `_warnings` string[]: Non-fatal notices about this response (field-map drift, clamped computed values). Advisory only: its presence never means the request failed. Omitted entirely when there is nothing to report, so treat absent as 'no warnings'. - `credits_used` integer, required: Number of credits consumed - `credits_remaining` integer, nullable, required: Current account balance, or null when this response could not establish one. Free cache hits always return null because they do not establish an authoritative post-request balance. An idempotency replay also returns null when its current-balance lookup fails. It is never a fabricated zero, so a zero here means the account really is empty. The authoritative reading is the one on a billed response, which comes straight from the deduction. - `request_id` string, required: Unique request identifier for support - `cached` boolean, required: Whether the response was served from cache - `idempotent_replay` boolean: True only when this response is an idempotency replay - `meta` object: Optional. Present only when this call completed a pattern that one other call does more cheaply or in one step, at most once per pattern per API key per day. Send the header `X-SocialCrawl-Hints: off` to never receive it. - `hint` object: One suggestion: what to call instead and why, with the price when the suggested call costs more than the calls it replaces. - `code` string: creator_card | batch_profiles | search_multi | incremental_sync | comment_labels | search_repeat - `message` string: One sentence for a person or an agent to read. - `method` string: GET or POST. - `path` string: The call the hint points to. - `pagination` object, required: Cursor state for this page. Present on every list response. - `next_cursor` string, nullable, required: Opaque token to send back as `cursor` for the next page, or null at end-of-list. Pass it back verbatim; never decode or trim it. - `has_more` boolean, required: Explicit stop signal. Prefer this over inspecting next_cursor or comparing against total. - `page_size` integer, required: Number of items in THIS page. - `stopped_at` 'since' | 'known_id' | 'end' | 'null', nullable: Present only when the request sent `since` or `stop_at_id`. Why the walk stopped: `since` (this page reached a post older than the date), `known_id` (this page reached the post you already hold), `end` (the list ran out first), or null (not yet, keep walking with `next_cursor`). ## Other responses - `400`: Invalid request - missing or malformed parameters - `401`: Unauthorized - missing or invalid API key - `402`: Payment required - the account balance is too low, or the calling key has spent its own per-key credit limit - `404`: Not found - the endpoint does not exist, or the requested resource was not found upstream - `405`: Method not allowed - wrong HTTP verb for this endpoint - `409`: Conflict - an idempotent request is still in flight, its completed body exceeded the replay limit, or the cohort resource is not in a state that allows this operation - `410`: Gone - the discover run's retention passed and its rows were deleted; start a new run - `413`: Payload too large: the JSON request body exceeds the 1 MB size limit and is rejected before parsing, or a single cohort result cannot fit beneath the 1 MB response-page ceiling - `422`: Idempotency payload mismatch - this Idempotency-Key was already used with a different request payload; or a discover request with async=false is over what one call can answer (NEEDS_ASYNC) - `429`: Rate or concurrency limit exceeded. `RATE_LIMITED`: more than 600 requests in a 1-minute sliding window on this API key (headers `X-RateLimit-Limit`/`Remaining`/`Reset`; `Retry-After` is seconds until the window resets). `CONCURRENCY_LIMIT`: more than 50 simultaneous in-flight requests (headers `X-Concurrency-Limit`/`Remaining`; short static `Retry-After`). Both are unbilled. Honor `Retry-After`, then back off with jitter. See /docs/rate-limits. - `500`: Internal server error - an immediate refund is attempted; credits_used reports the committed net charge and exact compensation is queued if that refund cannot commit - `502`: Upstream error - the platform returned an error; an immediate refund is attempted and credits_used reports the committed net charge - `503`: Service unavailable - the request is unbilled when rejected before deduction, otherwise an immediate refund is attempted and credits_used reports the committed net charge - `504`: Gateway timeout - the request was still running close to the platform time limit and is answered as UPSTREAM_ERROR, the same code as 502. An immediate refund is attempted and credits_used reports the committed net charge. When details.retry_with is set, retryable is false and there is no Retry-After --- [API](https://skmtc.dev/socialcrawl/apis/socialcrawl-api.md) · [All operations](https://skmtc.dev/socialcrawl/apis/socialcrawl-api/llms.txt) · [OpenAPI document](https://skmtc.dev/socialcrawl/apis/socialcrawl-api/revisions/a0ad2511004a?raw)
