This post explores how you can use SellerMagnet to scrape Amazon deals for seasonal sales opportunities, enhancing your competitive analysis, inventory management, and market research.
Why Scrape Amazon Deals for Seasonal Sales?
Seasonal sales events such as Black Friday, Cyber Monday, Prime Day, and the holiday season are critical periods for e-commerce businesses. Scraping Amazon deals during these times provides:
- Competitive Insights: Understand competitors' pricing strategies, promotional offers, and inventory levels.

Getting Started with SellerMagnet's API
SellerMagnet offers a suite of powerful APIs designed to provide real-time Amazon data. Here's how to leverage these APIs for scraping Amazon deals:
1. Identifying Deal Categories
First, identify the categories with active Amazon deals using the Get Amazon Deals Categories endpoint.
curl --location --request GET 'https://sellermagnet-api.com/amazon-deals-categories?marketplaceId=A1PA6795UKMFR9&api_key=YOUR_API_KEY'
Response example:
{
"categories": [
{
"id": "deals-electronics",
"name": "Electronics Deals"
}
]
}
This endpoint helps you understand which categories are currently offering deals, allowing you to focus your scraping efforts effectively.
2. Searching for Products
Use the Search Amazon endpoint to find products within specific deal categories.
curl --location --request GET 'https://sellermagnet-api.com/amazon-search?q=headphones&marketplaceId=A1PA6795UKMFR9&api_key=YOUR_API_KEY'
Response example:
{
"data": {
"searchResults": [
{
"asin": "B0CL5KNB9M",
"discount_info": "",
"link": "https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0CL5KNB9M",
"listingPrice": {
"price": {
"currency_code": "USD",
