Amazon Product Search Api Skill

This skill is designed to help users automatically extract product data from Amazon search results. The Agent should proactively apply this skill when users...

Security Scan

The skill's code, instructions, and required environment variable align with its stated purpose (using BrowserAct to fetch Amazon search results); nothing in the files indicates unexpected exfiltration or unrelated privilege requests.

Purpose & Capability

Name/description say the skill uses BrowserAct to extract Amazon search results; the script calls api.browseract.com and posts the workflow template ID, which is coherent with that purpose. The single required env var (BROWSERACT_API_KEY) is appropriate.

Instruction Scope

SKILL.md instructs the agent to run the provided Python script, monitor logs, and handle retries. The script only uses the provided API key and search inputs and communicates with BrowserAct endpoints. It doesn't read unrelated files, other env vars, or modify system/state outside its scope.

Install Mechanism

There is no install spec (instruction-only), which minimizes risk. One mismatch: the script imports the third-party 'requests' library but the skill does not declare installing dependencies or bundling them; deploying agents must ensure a Python environment with 'requests' available. No downloads or external installers are invoked by the skill.

Credentials

The skill requests a single, purpose-relevant credential (BROWSERACT_API_KEY), which is proportional. Minor metadata inconsistency: the registry lists no primary credential while the skill clearly requires BROWSERACT_API_KEY—this is likely an oversight but not a functional mismatch.

Persistence & Privilege

The skill is not always-enabled and does not request persistent/system-wide privileges. It does not modify other skills or agent configs. Autonomous invocation is allowed (platform default) and acceptable here.

Assessment

This skill sends your search parameters and the BrowserAct API key to api.browseract.com to run BrowserAct workflows — that's the intended behavior. Before installing: (1) Confirm you trust BrowserAct and are comfortable that the API key will be used for these queries; (2) Provide a scoped/rotatable BrowserAct key if possible (do not reuse high-privilege keys); (3) Ensure the agent environment has Python and the 'requests' library installed (the skill does not include a dependency installer); (4) Monitor usage/costs on your BrowserAct account and review rate limits/privacy policies. The only real inconsistency is a small metadata omission (no primary credential set) and the missing declared Python dependency; both are low risk but worth noting.

Amazon Product Search Automation Skill

📖 Introduction

This skill provides a one-stop product data collection service through BrowserAct's Amazon Product Search API template. It directly extracts structured product results from Amazon search lists. Simply input search keywords, brand filters, and quantity limits to get clean, usable product data.

✨ Features

1. No Hallucinations: Pre-set workflows avoid AI generative hallucinations, ensuring stable and precise data extraction.
2. No Captcha Issues: No need to handle reCAPTCHA or other verification challenges.
3. No IP Restrictions: No need to handle regional IP restrictions or geofencing.
4. Faster Execution: Tasks execute faster compared to pure AI-driven browser automation solutions.
5. Cost-Effective: Significantly lowers data acquisition costs compared to high-token-consuming AI solutions.

🔑 API Key Setup

Before running, check the BROWSERACT_API_KEY environment variable. If not set, do not take other measures; ask and wait for the user to provide it. Agent must inform the user:

"Since you haven't configured the BrowserAct API Key, please visit the BrowserAct Console to get your Key."

🛠️ Input Parameters

When calling the script, the Agent should flexibly configure the following parameters based on user needs:

1. KeyWords (Search Keywords)

   • Type: string
   • Description: The keywords the user wants to search for on Amazon.
   • Example: phone, wireless earbuds, laptop stand

2. Brand (Brand Filter)

   • Type: string
   • Description: Filter products by brand name shown in the listing.
   • Example: Apple, Samsung, Sony

3. Maximum_date (Maximum Products)

   • Type: number
   • Description: The maximum number of products to extract across paginated search results.
   • Default: 50

4. language (UI Language)

   • Type: string
   • Description: UI language for the Amazon browsing session.
   • Options: en, de, fr, it, es, ja, zh-CN, zh-TW
   • Default: en

🚀 Usage

The Agent should execute the following independent script to achieve "one-line command result":

# Example Call
python -u ./scripts/amazon_product_search_api.py "Keywords" "Brand" Quantity "language"

⏳ Execution Monitoring

Since this task involves automated browser operations, it may take some time (several minutes). The script will continuously output status logs with timestamps (e.g., [14:30:05] Task Status: running). Agent Instructions:

• While waiting for the script result, keep monitoring the terminal output.
• As long as the terminal is outputting new status logs, the task is running normally; do not mistake it for a deadlock or unresponsiveness.
• Only if the status remains unchanged for a long time or the script stops outputting without returning a result should you consider triggering the retry mechanism.

📊 Data Output

After successful execution, the script will parse and print results directly from the API response. Results include:

• product_title: Product name
• product_url: Detail page URL
• rating_score: Average star rating
• review_count: Total number of reviews
• monthly_sales: Estimated monthly sales (if available)
• current_price: Current selling price
• list_price: Original list price (if available)
• delivery_info: Delivery or fulfillment information
• shipping_location: Shipping origin or location
• is_best_seller: Whether marked as Best Seller
• is_available: Whether available for purchase

⚠️ Error Handling & Retry

If an error occurs during script execution (e.g., network fluctuations or task failure), the Agent should follow this logic:

1. Check Output Content:

   • If the output contains "Invalid authorization", it means the API Key is invalid or expired. Do not retry; guide the user to re-check and provide the correct API Key.
   • If the output does not contain "Invalid authorization" but the task failed (e.g., output starts with Error: or returns empty results), the Agent should automatically try to re-execute the script once.

2. Retry Limit:

   • Automatic retry is limited to one time. If the second attempt fails, stop retrying and report the specific error information to the user.

🌟 Typical Use Cases

1. Market Research: Search for "wireless earbuds" from "Sony" to analyze the current market.
2. Competitive Monitoring: Track "Samsung" phone prices and availability on Amazon.
3. Catalog Discovery: Gather product titles and URLs for a new product catalog in the "laptop stand" category.
4. Localized Analysis: Search Amazon in "ja" (Japanese) to understand products available in the Japan region.
5. Best Seller Tracking: Identify products marked as "Best Seller" for a specific brand.
6. Pricing Intelligence: Compare current_price and list_price to monitor discounts.
7. Sales Trend Estimation: Use monthly_sales data to estimate market demand for certain items.
8. Shipping Efficiency Study: Analyze delivery_info and shipping_location for various brands.
9. Large-scale Data Extraction: Collect up to 100 products for a comprehensive dataset.
10. Product Availability Check: Verify if specific brand products are currently is_available for purchase.
