PA-API alternative

Amazon retired PA-API. Your product data doesn't have to die.

No Sales Quota <100ms Responses Live Scrape from $0.40/1k CSV Batches

The Product Advertising API was deprecated on May 15, 2026. Its replacement, the Creators API, requires 10 qualifying sales every 30 days — locking out new sites, seasonal niches, and every project that hasn't converted yet. If your product boxes froze, your prices stopped updating, or your plugin's data source went dark, this page is for you: Amazon product data and ranked product search from a continuously refreshed warehouse. No Associates account. No sales quota. No approval process.

Free: 30 demo searches/day on this page · API key = 2,500 free credits · No card · Failed requests never billed
Live demo · production API, right here

Then click any product for its full history — price and rank over time, every seller on the listing, and who has held the buy box.

Live responses from our production warehouse — observed snapshots, not Amazon's live feed. Demo is limited to 30 searches per hour per visitor and two products per group; the API itself returns more, with full facets and filters. Get a free API key (2,500 credits, no card) for unrestricted access.

Coverage note: the search index currently covers Amazon's best-seller (BSR) product universe and excludes media products (books, music, video). We're working on extending it to include media and products beyond the best-seller range.

Broad queries (try toothbrush) group by category; specific ones (try graphics card) come back as Budget / Mid-range / Premium tiers.

  • Best products in each matching category
  • Cached product data with history
  • Live scrape for current Amazon data
  • Continuously refreshed warehouse of 11M+ products
  • 11 Amazon marketplaces + US Walmart
  • Unique search functionality, clear upgrade over the Amazon APIs

Two ways to replace what PA-API did for you.

  • Barcode lookup Pass a UPC, EAN or GTIN instead of an ASIN — /v1/product?gtin= or a bare barcode as the /v1/shopping query. Leading zeros and punctuation are tolerated, matches are resolved inside the marketplace you asked for, and a barcode that maps to several ASINs returns every match. Unknown barcodes are never billed.
  • Product Search & Answers API Keyword in, ranked product shortlists out — grouped by category or price tier, accessory noise filtered, with images, prices, ratings, and links. The replacement for PA-API's SearchItems, with ranking built in. under 100ms typical response. US, UK, Germany, Canada, Australia, Japan, France, Italy, Spain, Mexico, and Brazil live today.
  • Per-ASIN product data The replacement for GetItems: title, brand, pricing, rating and review counts, images, availability, category, multi-seller offers, and optional price/BSR/seller-count history. Instant for products we track, on-demand fresh fetch when you need it. Full schema here.

Data source Our warehouse — observed snapshots, timestamped Amazon live catalog

Being honest about the trade: the Creators API is Amazon's live catalog and it's free — if you qualify and stay qualified, use it. We exist for everyone who can't, and for the capabilities it never had.

Who this is for.

  • Affiliate & content sites below the sales quota New sites, seasonal niches, and dormant projects that lost API access. Keep product boxes, comparison tables, and "best of" pages rendering with current data while you rebuild toward eligibility.
  • WordPress plugin & site-builder vendors Your users are locked out through no fault of yours. Offer a data backend that works for every customer from day one — white-label integration, predictable JSON schema, one key per install or pooled. We build for exactly this integration pattern.
  • Deal, price-comparison & shopping apps Ranked results with price tiers and facets, fast enough for interactive UX. In-stock filtering built in.
  • AI assistants, agents & MCP tools A deterministic product-search tool call that returns in under 100ms — no live scrape latency, no Amazon eligibility, structured for LLM consumption. Grouped shortlists, not raw dumps.

What you should know before you switch.

Our data is observed, not Amazon's live feed. Every record comes from our continuously refreshed warehouse and carries a timestamp. Best-selling products are refreshed most often; long-tail products less so. For purchase-moment accuracy on a specific ASIN, an on-demand fresh fetch is available.

Coverage is the products people actually buy. 11M+ tracked products across Amazon US, UK, Germany, Canada, Australia, Japan, France, Italy, Spain, Mexico, and Brazil, plus Walmart — weighted toward best-sellers — not a mirror of Amazon's full catalog, and media products (books, music, video) are currently excluded. We're working on extending coverage to media and to products beyond the best-seller range. For "best X" queries, comparison content, and discovery, the current set is the one that matters.

Associates program compliance stays your responsibility. Amazon's Associates policies govern how prices and availability may be displayed alongside affiliate links. Our data suits rankings, research, comparison content, product discovery, and non-Associates monetization; how you present it on an Associates-enrolled site is your call to make with the program terms in hand.

What a product response includes.

One ASIN in, the full record out — /v1/product.

  • Current snapshot Price, BSR, rating, review count, stock state, UPC, parent ASIN, brand stats — and Amazon's own "bought in past month" figure where it publishes one.
  • Every seller, in the same call The full live offer list is standard, not a separate endpoint: seller name and ID, price, FBA and Prime flags, feedback score, and buy-box days. Gathering offers is the slow part of any live scrape, which is why most APIs bill them separately.
  • Price and stock history The full price series plus price-change and stock-change events, in the base call.
  • Rank history, per category Add bsr_history=true for daily rank in every category the product sits in, back to Oct 2023 on Amazon US. Half a credit on top.
  • Seller history — who held the buy box, and when Add offer_history=true for a buy-box timeline plus a per-seller price series, each with first seen, last seen and buy-box days. Half a credit on top.
  • Cached or scraped — your call mode=cache answers in under 100ms for one credit. mode=live scrapes the listing on demand when it has to be current. Failed scrapes are never billed.

Eleven Amazon marketplaces plus US Walmart, in one schema.
