Leveraging SellerMagnet API for Demand Estimation

SellerMagnet's API offers several endpoints useful for estimating product demand. We'll focus on the Amazon Product Statistics and Amazon Product Search Estimated Sells endpoints.

1. Amazon Product Statistics Endpoint

The Amazon Product Statistics endpoint provides detailed statistics for an Amazon product, including sales rank and review counts, which are indicators of product popularity and demand.

Use Case: Monitoring Sales Rank History

A product's sales rank is a direct reflection of its sales performance. Tracking the sales rank history provides insights into demand trends.

Endpoint: /amazon-product-statistics

Method: GET

Parameters:

• asin (required): Product ASIN (e.g., "B08N5WRWNW")
• marketplaceId (required): Marketplace ID (e.g., "A1PA6795UKMFR9")
• api_key (required): Your API key
• graphs (optional): Generate visually graphs for history data

curl --location --request GET 'https://sellermagnet-api.com/amazon-product-statistics?asin=B08N5WRWNW&marketplaceId=A1PA6795UKMFR9&api_key=YOUR_API_KEY'

Response Example:

{
  "success": true,
  "data": {
    "asin": "B08N5WRWNW",
    "amazonPrice": 2999,
    "bestSellerRank": 123,
    "buyBoxPrice": 2999,
    "buyBoxFulfillment": "FBA",
    "buyBoxSellerIdHistory": [
      [
        "2024-01-01T00:00:00",
        "A1234567890123"
      ],
      [
        "2024-01-02T00:00:00",
        "B1234567890123"
      ]
    ],
    "salesRankHistory": [
      [
        "2024-01-01T00:00:00",
        150
      ],
      [
        "2024-01-02T00:00:00",
        123
      ]
    ],
    "trackingSince": "2023-12-01",
    "graphs": null,
    "metadata": null
  }
}

By analyzing the salesRankHistory, you can identify periods of high and low demand. A consistently improving sales rank indicates increasing demand.

2. Amazon Product Search Estimated Sells Endpoint

The Amazon Product Search Estimated Sells endpoint provides an estimate of monthly sales for a given product ASIN. This is a direct measure of product demand.

Use Case: Gauging Monthly Sales Volume

Estimate the number of units sold per month to gauge the product demand directly.

Endpoint: /amazon-product-search-estimated-sells

Method: GET

Parameters:

• asin (required): Product ASIN (e.g., "B08N5WRWNW")
• marketplaceId (required): Marketplace ID (e.g., "A1PA6795UKMFR9")
• api_key (required): Your API key

curl --location --request GET 'https://sellermagnet-api.com/amazon-product-search-estimated-sells?asin=B08N5WRWNW&marketplaceId=A1PA6795UKMFR9&api_key=YOUR_API_KEY'

Response Example:

{
  "success": true,
  "data": {
    "asin": "B08N5WRWNW",
    "estimated_monthly_sales": 121
  }
}

The estimated_monthly_sales field gives you a concrete number to work with when planning inventory or assessing market potential.
