Leveraging SellerMagnet for Review Tracking
SellerMagnet’s Amazon Product Statistics API endpoint offers a powerful way to monitor product reviews. By regularly fetching and analyzing review data, businesses can gain actionable insights to drive quality control efforts.
Example Use Case: Identifying Defect Trends
Suppose you're selling a popular electronic gadget on Amazon. To ensure quality, you can use SellerMagnet’s API to track customer reviews and identify any recurring issues.
Here's how you can retrieve product statistics, including review counts, using the /amazon-product-statistics endpoint:
curl --location --request GET 'https://sellermagnet-api.com/amazon-product-statistics?asin=B08N5WRWNW&marketplaceId=A1PA6795UKMFR9&api_key=YOUR_API_KEY'
This API request will return detailed statistics for the specified product, including the total number of reviews and the average rating. This data can be used to identify trends over time. Here is a sample response:
{
"success": true,
"data": {
"asin": "B08N5WRWNW",
"amazonPrice": 2999,
"bestSellerRank": 1234,
"buyBoxPrice": 3299,

"graphs": null,
"metadata": {
"category": "Electronics",
"lastUpdated": "2024-06-14T12:00:00Z"
}
}
}
By monitoring these statistics regularly, you can quickly identify if the average rating drops or if negative reviews increase. This can indicate a potential quality issue that needs immediate attention.
Analyzing Review Content with SellerMagnet
While aggregate statistics provide a high-level overview, analyzing the content of individual reviews offers deeper insights. SellerMagnet’s Amazon Seller Review API endpoint can be used to fetch the latest reviews for a specific seller, providing valuable qualitative data.
Example Use Case: Identifying Specific Issues
To fetch the latest seller reviews, use the following API request:
curl --location --request GET 'https://sellermagnet-api.com/amazon-seller-review?sellerId=A1B2C3D4E5F6G7&marketplaceId=A1PA6795UKMFR9&api_key=YOUR_API_KEY'
This will return the last 5 reviews for the specified seller. Here's a sample response:
{
"data": {
"marketplace": {
"ATVPDKIKX0DER": {
"last5Reviews": [
{
"dateRated": "By gary kraus on June 5, 2025.",

}
}
}
},
