Dataify Amazon Product

Use for Dataify Amazon product collection Builder tasks. Trigger when the user asks for Amazon product collection, Amazon product scraping, Amazon product harvesting, or Amazon product crawling, especially with ASIN, URL, keyword, category URL, Best Sellers URL, or similar Amazon product task keywords. Supports creating Amazon product tasks by ASIN, product URL and zip code, keyword, category URL, or Best Sellers URL; returning the task_id; configuring or reusing the DATAIFY_API_TOKEN environment variable; and troubleshooting Dataify Builder request failures.

Submit Amazon product collection jobs through Dataify Builder, then stop. Do not download result files. After a successful submission, give the user the task_id and tell them to visit https://dataify.com/dashboard/ to view results.

This skill covers five Amazon product collection modes:

Mode	Use for	Builder spider_id
asin	Collect product details by ASIN. Amazon product URLs can be accepted and converted to ASINs.	amazon_product_by-asin
url	Collect product details by one or more Amazon product URLs and a zip code.	amazon_product_by-url
keyword	Collect Amazon keyword search results.	amazon_product_by-keywords
category-url	Collect Amazon category listing results from a category URL.	amazon_product_by-category-url
best-sellers-url	Collect Amazon Best Sellers listing results from a Best Sellers URL.	amazon_product_by-best-sellers

API TOKEN Handling

Use DATAIFY_API_TOKEN as the long-term saved token name.

• If the user provides a token in the request, use it for this run.
• If no token is provided, first check whether DATAIFY_API_TOKEN is already saved locally in the environment.
• If DATAIFY_API_TOKEN is saved locally, use it.
• If no token is available locally, tell the user to get an API TOKEN from Dataify.
• Do not call the Builder endpoint without a token.
• Always call it API TOKEN in user-facing instructions. Prefer the environment variable name DATAIFY_API_TOKEN for saved local use.

PowerShell examples for saving the token for the current session:

$env:DATAIFY_API_TOKEN = "YOUR_DATAIFY_API_TOKEN"

For a persistent user-level variable on Windows:

[Environment]::SetEnvironmentVariable("DATAIFY_API_TOKEN", "YOUR_DATAIFY_API_TOKEN", "User")

Core Workflow

1. Identify the collection mode from the user's request: asin, url, keyword, category-url, or best-sellers-url.
2. Before submitting, show the user the required values, optional values, and defaults for that mode.
3. Always display submitted parameters as a Markdown table; do not use a plain sentence or bullet list for parameter confirmation.
4. Ask: "Do you want to change any of these values before I submit the task?"
5. Normalize and validate the final values for the chosen mode.
6. Resolve the Dataify token from explicit input or saved DATAIFY_API_TOKEN.
7. If no token is available, tell the user to get an API TOKEN from Dataify.
8. Submit a Builder request to create the task.
9. Read data.task_id from the Builder response.
10. Stop after Builder succeeds.
11. Tell the user to visit https://dataify.com/dashboard/ to view or manage results.

If the user has already provided some values, show those values in place of the defaults and only ask whether the remaining/defaulted values should be changed.

Dataify Builder Request

Use form fields rather than hand-built URL-encoded strings.

• URL: https://scraperapi.dataify.com/builder
• Method: POST
• Authorization header: Bearer DATAIFY_API_TOKEN
• Content type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded
• Fixed fields:
  • spider_name=amazon.com
  • spider_errors=true
• Dynamic fields:
  • spider_id must match the chosen mode.
  • spider_parameters must be a JSON string, not a raw object.
  • file_name defaults to {{TasksID}} and can be changed by the user.
• Send file_name as the Builder form field, not as a downloaded output name.

Script

For stable execution, prefer scripts/submit_amazon_product.py with Python 3.6 or newer instead of rewriting the Builder flow. The script writes and reads UTF-8 text.

python3 ".\scripts\submit_amazon_product.py" asin B0BZYCJK89
python3 ".\scripts\submit_amazon_product.py" url --zip-code "94107" "https://www.amazon.com/HISDERN-Checkered-Handkerchief-Classic-Necktie/dp/B0BRXPR726"
python3 ".\scripts\submit_amazon_product.py" keyword --keyword "coffee"
python3 ".\scripts\submit_amazon_product.py" category-url --url "https://www.amazon.com/s?i=fashion" --page-turning 2 --sort-by "Best Sellers"
python3 ".\scripts\submit_amazon_product.py" best-sellers-url --url "https://www.amazon.com/Best-Sellers-Tools-Home-Improvement-Kitchen-Bath-Fixtures/zgbs/hi/3754161/ref=zg_bs_unv_hi_2_680350011_1" --page-turning 1

If python3 is not available, use the local Python 3 command for that machine, such as python. The script checks the runtime version and tells the user to use Python 3.6 or newer if the active interpreter is too old.

To override the saved environment token or default file name for one run:

python3 ".\scripts\submit_amazon_product.py" keyword --api-token "YOUR_DATAIFY_API_TOKEN" --keyword "coffee" --file-name "amazon-coffee"

The script prints a JSON summary with task_id, submitted parameters, dashboard_url, and message.

Troubleshooting

Missing Dataify API TOKEN means no explicit token was passed and DATAIFY_API_TOKEN is not saved locally. Tell the user to get an API TOKEN from Dataify.

No valid ASINs were provided means the required asin value is missing or could not be extracted from the provided input.

No valid URLs were provided or URL cannot be empty means the required URL value is missing.

Zip code cannot be empty means no usable zip_code was provided.

Keyword cannot be empty means the required keyword value is missing.

Page turning must be greater than or equal to 1 means the requested page count is invalid.

Lowest price cannot be greater than highest price means the price range must be corrected before submission.

Unsupported sort_by means the category sort option must be one of the accepted display values or submitted values.

File name cannot be empty means no usable file_name was provided.

Necessary parameters is empty! usually means the Builder request was not submitted as form fields, spider_parameters was not a JSON string, or the object is missing required mode parameters.

Missing task_id usually means the authorization header, token, spider_name, or spider_id is wrong.

Guardrails

• Do not invent result fields.
• Always direct the user to https://dataify.com/dashboard/ after successful task creation.
