Practical Use Cases and Examples
1. Product Performance Tracking
Monitor key metrics like sales rank, pricing, and review counts for your products using the Amazon Product Statistics endpoint.
import requests
import pandas as pd
import plotly.express as px
API_KEY = "YOUR_API_KEY" # Replace with your actual API key
ASIN = "B08N5WRWNW" # Example ASIN
MARKETPLACE_ID = "ATVPDKIKX0DER" # Example: Amazon.com
url = f"https://sellermagnet-api.com/amazon-product-statistics?api_key={API_KEY}&asin={ASIN}&marketplaceId={MARKETPLACE_ID}&graphs=true"
try:
response = requests.get(url)
response.raise_for_status() # Raise HTTPError for bad responses (4xx or 5xx)
data = response.json()
if data["success"]:
# Accessing the root data object
product_data = data["data"]
# Price Trend
price_df = pd.DataFrame(product_data["graphs"]["priceTrend"])
if not price_df.empty:
price_df['timestamp'] = pd.to_datetime(price_df['timestamp'])
fig_price = px.line(price_df, x='timestamp', y='price', title=f'Price Trend for {ASIN}')
fig_price.show()
# Sales Rank Trend
rank_df = pd.DataFrame(product_data["graphs"]["rankTrend"])
if not rank_df.empty:
rank_df['timestamp'] = pd.to_datetime(rank_df['timestamp'])
fig_rank = px.line(rank_df, x='timestamp', y='rank', title=f'Sales Rank Trend for {ASIN}')
fig_rank.show()
else:
print(f"API request failed: {data.get('errors', 'No errors provided')}")
except requests.exceptions.RequestException as e:
print(f"Request failed: {e}")
except KeyError as e:
