Amazon Product Detail

Amazon — Product Detail

Input any Amazon product URL → output full product record (100+ fields).

Language

All process output to user (progress updates, process notifications) follows the user's language.

Objective

Extract the complete product record from any Amazon detail page URL across all Amazon regional TLDs, including price, ratings breakdown, attributes, variants, bestseller ranks, seller info, delivery, and sample reviews.

Prerequisites

• Target page is already open in the browser: any Amazon product URL (e.g. https://www.amazon.com/dp/{ASIN}, https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/{ASIN}, https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/{ASIN}, or the canonical SEO-slug URL https://www.amazon.com/{slug}/dp/{ASIN})
• No login required

Pre-execution Checks

1. Tool Readiness

If browser-act has been confirmed available in the current session → skip this step.

Invoke browser-act via Skill tool to load usage. If installation or configuration issues arise, follow its guidance to resolve then retry.

Capability Components

This Skill's operational boundary = what the user can manually do in their browser. It only reads data already displayed to the user on the page, never bypassing authentication or access controls. Its role is equivalent to copy-pasting on the user's behalf — the data is already on screen, automation merely saves time. JS code is encapsulated in Python files under the scripts/ directory, invoked via browser-act --session {name} eval "$(python scripts/xxx.py {params})". The $(...) is bash command substitution — it runs the python script, captures its printed JS text, and hands that JS string as a single argument to browser-act eval. Do not run eval "$(python ...)" as a bare shell command; that would ask bash to execute the JS as shell, which fails.

DOM: extract full product detail from current product page

Amazon detail pages are server-rendered HTML — no XHR/fetch API for detail data. All fields come from stable DOM selectors:

1. navigate {any Amazon product URL, e.g. https://www.amazon.com/dp/{ASIN}}
2. wait stable
3. Extract: browser-act --session {name} eval "$(python scripts/extract-product-detail.py)"

On error paths, the script returns:

• {"error": true, "message": "product_not_found: 404 page"} when the URL resolves to Amazon's not-found page
• {"error": true, "message": "productTitle not found - page may not be a product detail page"} when the URL resolves to a non-detail page (e.g. search results, homepage)

Success Criteria

response.error is not present AND response.asin matches /^[A-Z0-9]{10}$/ AND response.title is a non-empty string

Known Limitations

• answeredQuestions is null on many pages because Amazon's Q&A widget layout varies; when present, the field surfaces the numeric count.
• aiReviewsSummary is populated only on products with sufficient reviews and Amazon's AI summary feature enabled.
• variantAsins covers ASINs visible in swatch elements (data-defaultasin, data-asin, data-dp-url); large twister structures whose variants are lazy-loaded via XHR only surface the visible subset on first render.
• productPageReviews returns the sample reviews Amazon renders on the detail page (typically 6-10 items) — for full review pagination use a separate review-scraping capability.
• Prices, delivery, and stock reflect the browsing session's inferred country/zip; use a proxy in the target region to fetch localized values.
• CAPTCHA / anti-bot interstitials will cause the script to return productTitle not found — surface this to the caller so it can retry with a fresh session or proxy.
• Bestseller ranks are only populated when the product page renders the "Best Sellers Rank" row in detail bullets or product-details tables.
• Amazon A/B experiments occasionally reorder DOM containers; on failure to extract a specific field, inspect page structure and open an issue rather than assuming Amazon-wide breakage.

Execution Efficiency

• Batch orchestration: Write a bash script iterating ASINs serially inside one browser session; do not parallelize inside one browser. Insert a 3-6 second delay between ASINs to reduce anti-scraping pressure. For higher throughput, open multiple stealth sessions (different fingerprints/proxies) and shard the ASIN list.
• Test before batch execution: After writing the batch script, first test with 2-3 ASINs before running the full enrichment. Never skip testing.
• Reduce redundant pre-operations: Reuse the same browser session across ASINs — only navigate + wait stable + eval per item, no need to re-open.
• Error resumption: Persist per-ASIN JSON as it completes so a partial crash resumes from the failed ASIN.

Experience Notes

Path: {working-directory}/browser-act-skill-forge-memories/amazon-scraper-amazon-product-detail.memory.md (working directory is determined by the Agent running the Skill, typically the project root or current working directory)

Before execution: If the file exists, read it first — it records unexpected situations encountered during past executions (e.g., a strategy has become ineffective); adjust strategy order accordingly.

After execution: If an unexpected situation is encountered (strategy became ineffective, page redesigned, anti-scraping upgraded, better path discovered), append a line: {YYYY-MM-DD}: {what happened} → {conclusion}

Normal execution does not write to the file. Do not record what keywords were used or how many results were returned — those are task outputs, not experience.
