Amazon Scout: Amazon Product Research

Research Amazon from chat: search products, read any product page, see who sells it and for how much, check best-seller lists, and find the keywords shoppers type, with real search volumes.

No Amazon account, no API key, no app to connect. Calls are paid from ClawLink credit, most for a fraction of a cent, and every new account starts with $0.50 free. Powered by ClawLink.

Setup in 3 Steps

Step 1: Install	Step 2: Pair	Step 3: Ask

Install the ClawLink plugin in OpenClaw	Sign in and approve the device once	Ask in plain English; no app to connect

What You Can Ask

“Find best-selling USB-C chargers on Amazon under $20”
“Read the Amazon page for ASIN B0C69HB8PM and summarise the reviews”
“Who else sells this product and at what price?”
“What keywords does my competitor's ASIN rank for?”
“How many people search Amazon for ‘standing desk’ each month?”

When to Use This Skill

Use it when the user wants information from Amazon's public catalog: products, prices, sellers, reviews, best sellers or Amazon search keywords.

Do not use it for the user's own private accounts or for anything that posts, sends or changes data: these tools only read public information.

ClawLink holds the data-provider accounts. The user never pastes a key, and nothing is installed beyond the plugin.

Install

Install the ClawLink plugin from ClawHub when the user asks for it:

bash

openclaw plugins install clawhub:clawlink-plugin

The install applies to the running Gateway: do not restart it. The ClawLink tools appear on your next turn, so end this turn and tell the user: "ClawLink is installed. Reply ok and I will give you your pairing link." On the next turn call clawlink_begin_pairing, give the user the link, and after they approve call clawlink_get_pairing_status. Pairing happens once; after that every tool below works with no further setup.

Tool Reference

Prices are what ClawLink charges per call, from the user's credit. The tool's own description (via clawlink_describe_tool) always shows the current price.

Recipes

Validate a product idea

amazondata_search_products for the idea; note prices, ratings and “bought past month”.
amazondata_product on the top 2-3 ASINs for Best Sellers rank and what customers say.
amazondata_product_reviews on the leader to find complaints worth fixing.
amazondata_keyword_search_volume on 3-5 phrasings to size demand.

Reverse-engineer a competitor ASIN

amazondata_product_ranked_keywords for the keywords it ranks on.
amazondata_product_competitors for products fighting for the same keywords.
amazondata_product_keyword_overlap with your ASIN to see the shared and missing keywords.

Code Examples

Search Amazon

bash

clawlink_call_tool --tool "amazondata_search_products" \
  --params '{"keyword": "usb c charger", "price_max": 20}'

Read a product page

bash

clawlink_call_tool --tool "amazondata_product" \
  --params '{"asin": "B0C69HB8PM"}'

Search volume for keywords

bash

clawlink_call_tool --tool "amazondata_keyword_search_volume" \
  --params '{"keywords": ["standing desk", "adjustable desk"]}'

Discovery Workflow

Call clawlink_search_tools with a short query (for example amazon product); public-data tools show as connected for every user.
Call clawlink_describe_tool before the first call of a tool: it returns the parameters, defaults and price.
Treat the live catalog as the source of truth. If a tool named here is missing, say so; do not invent results.

Execution Workflow

text

┌───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐
│  READ-ONLY, PAID PER CALL                                │
│  search → describe → call → summarise for the user       │
│                                                          │
│  Ask before: loops over many items, or a call that costs │
│  more than a few cents (the price is in the description) │
└───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘

Every tool here only reads public data; nothing is posted or changed.
Each call costs credit. Before looping over more than about ten items, or before a call priced above a few cents, tell the user what it will cost and ask.
A failed call is refunded automatically. Read the error's hint: it says what to change. Do not retry the same arguments unchanged.

Notes

amazondata_search_products is slow: 10-50 seconds. Tell the user it is running.
The ASIN is in search results as data_asin, and in product URLs after /dp/.
Country: search, sellers and variants take location_name (default United States) and language_code (default en_US; en_GB, de_DE and so on).
amazondata_product with a wrong ASIN still returns an (empty) answer and is charged.
Keyword tools are priced per row: limit sets both the rows and the price.

Error Handling

Status / Error	Meaning
Empty product answer	The ASIN does not exist in that marketplace. Check it against a search result.
`credit_exhausted`	The user's ClawLink credit is used up. Tell them to top up at https://claw-link.dev/dashboard/billing?utm_source=clawhub&utm_medium=referral&utm_content=amazon-scout; do not retry.
`data_provider_unavailable`	ClawLink's data provider is down. Nothing was charged. Try again later.
`no_result`	The provider found nothing for these arguments. Nothing was charged.
`invalid_arguments`	A parameter is missing or malformed. Call `clawlink_describe_tool` and fix it.

Troubleshooting

Tools not visible after install

The tools appear on the turn after the install, not in the same turn.
If they still do not appear, the OpenClaw tool profile may hide plugin tools. This is a config change for the OpenClaw owner; do not change the config yourself. Tell the user: "Your OpenClaw tool profile hides plugin tools. In the Control UI (or ~/.openclaw/openclaw.json), add clawlink-plugin to tools.alsoAllow, then ask me again."
On OpenClaw versions before 2.0, the tool list can load only in a new chat: tell the user to send /new and ask again.

A tool keeps failing with correct input

Report it with clawlink_report_issue (or clawlink_call_tool --tool "CLAWLINK_REPORT_ISSUE") instead of retrying. Reports are free and reach the ClawLink team.
