Scout API

About Scout API

Scout API is a real-time Amazon product data API for teams that need marketplace data as a dependency rather than as a research project. Scraping Amazon directly is a maintenance treadmill — layout changes, regional differences, anti-bot measures, and a structure that varies by category — and the usual alternative is a general-purpose scraping platform priced for a much broader problem. Scout narrows the scope to one marketplace and returns structured records covering price, review data, product details and the rest of the listing fields, across millions of products and multiple Amazon marketplaces. The use cases the vendor names are the obvious commercially serious ones: market research and competitor assessment, price monitoring to react to competitor moves and tune your own pricing, and product research for sourcing decisions. What makes it usable inside an AI pipeline is the shape of the output — structured data rather than HTML, so an agent or an enrichment step can consume it without a parsing layer, with documentation covering exactly which fields come back before you sign up. Pricing is the strongest argument here: a genuinely free plan at 100 requests a month with a hard limit and no overage charge, so a project can be prototyped and abandoned at zero cost and zero billing risk, then four paid tiers scaling from 17,500 to 250,000 requests a month with the per-request overage rate falling from $0.0035 to $0.0010 as volume rises. Rate limits scale with tier, and custom plans are available on request.
