This package allows you to search for products on Amazon and extract some useful information (ratings, number of comments).

I wrote a French blog post about it here

• Python 3
• pip3

pip3 install -U amazonscraper

After the package installation, you can use the amazon2csv.py command in the terminal.

After passing a search request to the command (and an optional maximum number of products), it will return the results as csv :

amazon2csv.py --keywords="Python programming" --maxproductnb=2

Product title,Rating,Number of customer reviews,Product URL
"Python Crash Course: A Hands-On, Project-Based Introduction to Programming",4.5,309,https://www.amazon.com/Python-Crash-Course-Hands-Project-Based/dp/1593276036
"A Smarter Way to Learn Python: Learn it faster. Remember it longer.",4.8,144,https://www.amazon.com/Smarter-Way-Learn-Python-Remember-ebook/dp/B077Z55G3B

You can also pass a search url (if you added complex filters for example), and save it to a file :

amazon2csv.py --url="https://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss_2?url=search-alias%3Daps&field-keywords=python+scraping" > output.csv

You can then open it with your favorite spreadsheet editor (and play with the filters) :

More info about the command in the help :

amazon2csv.py --help

# -*- coding: utf-8 -*-
import amazonscraper

results = amazonscraper.search("Python programming")

for result in results:
    print("%s (%s out of 5 stars, %s customer reviews) :  %s" % (result.title, result.rating, result.review_nb, result.url))

print("Number of results : %d" % (len(results)))

Which will output :

Learning Python, 5th Edition (4.0 out of 5 stars, 293 customer reviews) : https://www.amazon.com/Learning-Python-5th-Mark-Lutz/dp/1449355730
Fluent Python: Clear, Concise, and Effective Programming (4.6 out of 5 stars, 87 customer reviews) : https://www.amazon.com/Fluent-Python-Concise-Effective-Programming/dp/1491946008
[...]
Number of results : 3000

• If no product was found with the CSS selectors, it may be a new Amazon page style => change user agent and get the new page. Loop on all the user agents and check all the CSS selectors again
• Find a way to get the products without css selectors
