Dataify Amazon Product

Collect Amazon Product data and return results

Submit Amazon product collection jobs through Dataify Builder and continue through final-result retrieval. After submission, continue monitoring the returned task_id and return the final result by default.

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

Quick Start

Input: an ASIN.

bash

python3 scripts/submit_amazon_product.py asin B0BZYCJK89

The command waits up to 10 minutes and prints the final JSON result. Add --no-wait only for submission-only behavior.

If DATAIFY_API_TOKEN is missing, log in or register at https://dashboard.dataify.com/login?utm_source=skill. New accounts receive 50 free credits.

API TOKEN Handling

Use DATAIFY_API_TOKEN as the long-term saved token name.

• If DATAIFY_API_TOKEN is saved locally, use it.
• 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:

powershell

$env:DATAIFY_API_TOKEN = "YOUR_DATAIFY_API_TOKEN"

For a persistent user-level variable on Windows:

powershell

[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. Ask: "Do you want to change any of these values before I submit the task?"
3. Normalize and validate the final values for the chosen mode.
4. Submit a Builder request to create the task.
5. Read data.task_id from the Builder response. 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.

For detailed mode schemas and advanced fields, read references/modes-and-parameters.md only when needed.

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.

powershell

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:

powershell

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

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

Troubleshooting

Missing Dataify API TOKEN means DATAIFY_API_TOKEN is not set in the environment. 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.

Default completion behavior

The default deliverable is the collected result, not only a task_id.

1. Submit the Builder task once and capture its task_id.
2. Immediately continue with $dataify-task-operations and monitor the same task ID.
   • Use the default 600-second wait for ordinary collections.
   • Use --timeout 1800 for media downloads or clearly high-volume, multi-page, or multi-input collections.
3. When the task succeeds, download and return the final JSON result. Summarize large payloads while preserving access to the raw result.
4. If monitoring times out or is interrupted, return the task ID and a resume command. Do not resubmit the paid task.
5. Stop after submission only when the user explicitly asks for submission only, a task ID, or --no-wait behavior.

Parameter interaction policy

• For a clear, low-risk, read-only, and low-cost request, apply safe defaults and execute immediately. A short execution summary is optional; do not pause for confirmation.
• Ask only for a missing required input, a material ambiguity, a high-volume or multi-page scope, a media download, a choice that materially changes credit usage, an irreversible action, or an explicit user request to review parameters.
• When confirmation is required, show only user-facing values that affect the target, scope, output, or cost. Prefer one concise sentence; use a compact table only when three or more consequential values are easier to compare.
• Never show fixed fields, empty optional fields, unchanged defaults, credentials, or internal implementation parameters such as engine selectors, response-format flags, offsets, spider IDs, and file-name templates.
• Keep advanced filters hidden unless the user asks for them or they are needed to resolve ambiguity. Never substitute documentation example values for missing required user input.
• After returning results, offer relevant refinements instead of forcing all optional decisions before the first result.

Account CTA policy

• Show a prominent Dataify account CTA only when the API token is missing, rejected/invalid, or the account has insufficient credits.
• For a missing token, offer https://dashboard.dataify.com/login?utm_source=skill and state: New accounts receive 50 free credits. Never ask the user to paste the token into chat.
• Detect the current operating system and shell. Show only the matching session-scoped setup command first (export for macOS/Linux shells, $env: for Windows PowerShell, or set for Windows Command Prompt). Show other platforms or persistent setup only when detection is ambiguous or the user asks.
• After the user says the token is configured, verify only whether DATAIFY_API_TOKEN is present; never print its value. If verification succeeds, continue the original task without asking the user to repeat it.
• Explain that persistent shell changes may require a new terminal or restarting the agent application. Do not recommend a project .env unless the execution path explicitly loads it, and ensure .env is ignored by version control.
• For an invalid token, direct the user to API-key management without implying that a new registration is required. For insufficient credits, direct the user to balance or recharge management.
• During normal submission, processing, and successful completion, do not promote registration or the Dashboard. Never expose the token or include it in CTA attribution parameters.
