Creating a SellerMagnetAPI Dashboard for Amazon Regional Sales Benchmarking
For Amazon businesses operating across multiple regions, understanding sales performance at a granular level is critical. A SellerMagnetAPI dashboard empowers businesses and market analysts to create comprehensive regional sales benchmarks. This blog post guides you through leveraging SellerMagnet's API to build a dashboard tailored for Amazon regional sales benchmarking.
Why Regional Sales Benchmarking Matters
Benchmarking sales across different Amazon marketplaces provides actionable insights. It helps identify top-performing regions, uncover market-specific trends, optimize inventory allocation, and refine pricing strategies. By visualizing this data, businesses can make informed decisions to drive growth and maximize profitability.
Setting Up Your SellerMagnetAPI Dashboard
Before diving into the technical aspects, ensure you have a SellerMagnetAPI account and a valid API key. If you don't have one, you can Try Free. You'll need this key to authenticate your requests.
1. Gathering Data: Key API Endpoints
The SellerMagnetAPI offers several endpoints useful for regional sales benchmarking. Here are a few essential ones:
- Amazon Product Statistics: Provides detailed sales rank and review counts for specific products.
- Amazon Product Lookup: Retrieves comprehensive product information, including category and sales details.
- Amazon Search: Allows searching for products by keyword within specific marketplaces.
- Amazon Product Estimate Sales: Provides estimated sales data for Amazon products.
2. Building Your Data Queries
Let's look at some practical examples of how to use these endpoints.
Example 1: Fetching Product Statistics for a Specific Region
To get the sales rank and other statistics for a product in the US marketplace, use the following Amazon Product Statistics endpoint:
curl --request GET \
--url 'https://sellermagnet-api.com/amazon-product-statistics?asin=B08N5WRWNW&marketplaceId=ATVPDKIKX0DER&api_key=YOUR_API_KEY'
Here's an example response:
{
"success": true,
"data": {
"asin": "B08N5WRWNW",
"amazonPrice": 4999,
"bestSellerRank": 120,
"buyBoxPrice": 4999,
"buyBoxFulfillment": "FBA",
"buyBoxSellerIdHistory": [
[

]
],
"trackingSince": "2023-12-01"
}
}
Example 2: Searching for Products in Multiple Regions
To search for a product (e.g., "headphones") across multiple marketplaces, you would make separate API calls for each marketplace using the Amazon Search endpoint. Here’s how to search in the German marketplace:
curl --request GET \
--url 'https://sellermagnet-api.com/amazon-search?q=headphones&marketplaceId=A1PA6795UKMFR9&api_key=YOUR_API_KEY'
Example Response:
{
"data": {
"searchResults": [

"discount_info": "",
"link": "https://www.amazon.de/dp/B0756CYWWD",
"listingPrice": {
"price": {
"currency_code": "EUR",
"currency_name": "Euro",
"currency_symbol": "â¬",
"total": "29.99"
}
},
"mainImage": "https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/41ZWE1PDcaL._AC_UY218_.jpg",
"on_sale": false,
"position": 1,
"productTitle": "Bose QuietComfort 35 II Wireless Headphones",
"reviewAmount": 15000,
"reviewRating": 4.6,
"sponsored": false
}
]
},
"success": true
}
Example 3: Getting Estimated Sales Data for a Product
To estimate monthly sales for a specific ASIN, use the Amazon Product Estimate Sales endpoint:
curl --request GET \
--url 'https://sellermagnet-api.com/amazon-product-search-estimated-sells?asin=B08N5WRWNW&marketplaceId=ATVPDKIKX0DER&api_key=YOUR_API_KEY'
Example Response:
{
"success": true,

"asin": "B08N5WRWNW",
"estimated_monthly_sales": 121,
