API Endpoints

Endpoint Details

1. Categories

Browse or search Amazon's category hierarchy.

POST /openapi/v2/categories
{"categoryKeyword": "pet supplies"}                    # search by keyword
{"parentCategoryPath": ["Pet Supplies"]}               # browse children

⚠️ Use categoryKeyword (not keyword) and parentCategoryPath (not parentCategoryName).

2. Markets

Category-level market metrics — answer "Is this market worth entering?"

POST /openapi/v2/markets/search
{"categoryPath": ["Pet Supplies", "Dogs", "Toys"], "topN": "10"}

⚠️ topN must be a string ("3", "5", "10", "20"), NOT an integer.

Returns: sampleAvgMonthlySales, sampleAvgPrice, sampleBrandCount, sampleSellerCount, topSalesRate (concentration), sampleNewSkuRate, sampleFbaRate.

3. Products

Product search with filters or 14 built-in selection modes.

POST /openapi/v2/products/search
{"keyword": "yoga mat", "mode": "beginner"}

14 modes: beginner, fast-movers, emerging, long-tail, underserved, new-release, fbm-friendly, low-price, single-variant, high-demand-low-barrier, broad-catalog, selective-catalog, speculative, top-bsr.

Key fields: atLeastMonthlySales (lower-bound estimate), bsrRank (integer), ratingCount (not reviewCount), price, profitMargin, fbaFee.

4. Competitors

Competitor discovery by keyword, brand, or specific ASIN.

POST /openapi/v2/products/competitor-lookup
{"keyword": "wireless earbuds"}
{"asin": "B09V3KXJPB"}

Returns same product fields as products/search.

5. Realtime Product

Live data for a single ASIN — current listing content and pricing.

POST /openapi/v2/realtime/product
{"asin": "B09V3KXJPB"}

Key response fields:

⚠️ Does NOT return: atLeastMonthlySales, profitMargin, fbaFee, sellerCount. Use products/competitor-lookup for those. ⚠️ Price is nested: buyboxWinner.price, NOT top-level price.

6. Review Analysis

AI-powered consumer insights from customer reviews.

POST /openapi/v2/reviews/analyze

# Single or multiple ASINs (mode + asins required)
{"mode": "asin", "asins": ["B09V3KXJPB"]}
{"mode": "asin", "asins": ["B09V3KXJPB", "B08YYYYY"]}

# Category-level insights
{"mode": "category", "categoryPath": "Pet Supplies,Dogs,Toys", "period": "90d"}

# Filter to specific dimensions
{"mode": "asin", "asins": ["B09V3KXJPB"], "labelType": "painPoints"}

⚠️ mode is required ("asin" or "category"). ⚠️ Use asins (plural, array), NOT asin (singular string).

11 insight dimensions (labelType): painPoints, improvements, buyingFactors, issues, positives, scenarios, keywords, userProfiles, usageTimes, usageLocations, behaviors.

Returns: totalReviews, avgRating, sentimentDistribution, ratingDistribution, consumerInsights, topKeywords, verifiedRatio.

⚠️ Field Differences Across Endpoints

The 4 endpoint types return different fields. Do NOT assume they share the same structure.

What Each Endpoint Is Best For

Known Quirks

1. topN and newProductPeriod are strings — use "10" not 10
2. listingAge is a string — use "180" not 180
3. All response .data is an array — use .data[0] not .data.fieldName
4. ratingCount not reviewCount — the field is called ratingCount everywhere
5. bsrRank (integer) in products/competitors vs bestsellersRank (array) in realtime
6. Rate limit: 100 req/min, 10 req/sec burst

Credits

• Each API call consumes credits
• Response includes meta.creditsConsumed and meta.creditsRemaining
• Minimum 50 reviews required for reviews/analyze (returns INSUFFICIENT_REVIEWS error otherwise)
• Plans & rates: apiclaw.io/pricing

Data Notes

• Monthly sales (atLeastMonthlySales) is a lower-bound estimate — actual may be higher
• Realtime vs database: realtime/product is live; products/competitors have ~T+1 delay
• Currently Amazon US only (amazon.com) — more marketplaces planned
• Sales estimation fallback: When atLeastMonthlySales is null → Monthly sales ≈ 300,000 / BSR^0.65
