# Read a public Amazon product page from your agent, with no scraper to maintain

Pass an Amazon product URL (the /dp/ link) to web.scrape and get the public page as markdown: the product title, the listed price, the star rating, the rating count and the star split as a shopper sees them. RouterGrowth is independent and is not Amazon's API. It reads the public page, so the fields sit in the text, not in typed JSON.

## The call

[`web.scrape`](https://www.routergrowth.com/catalog/web.scrape): Clean markdown of a page or site for agent context.

Price on this network: $0.0056 per page. The exact quote is shown before every run.

## What a real run returned

Run on 2026-10-26: 1 records in 1.5 s for $0.0064. Personal fields are masked. One scrape of the Echo Dot product page: status 200 and 145,502 characters of markdown; the rows were read from that text, where price and rating sit just under the title.

| field | value |
|---|---|
| title | Amazon Echo Dot (newest model) - Vibrant sounding speaker, Designed for Alexa+, Great for bedrooms, dining rooms and offices, Charcoal |
| price | $79.99 |
| rating | 4.7 out of 5 stars, 201,399 global ratings |

## How to do it

1. **Use the product URL.** The short form amazon.com/dp/ followed by the ASIN is enough.
2. **Call web.scrape.** Send the url. The page comes back as markdown with its title and status code.
3. **Pull the fields.** Find the # title line, the first price after it and the out of 5 stars line, in code or with a model.
4. **Repeat per product.** One call per product page; store the run date with each price.

## Ask it like this

## Worth knowing

- **Not the Amazon API.** RouterGrowth is independent of Amazon and does not use its Product Advertising or seller APIs. It reads the public page.
- **Long pages.** A product page runs past 100,000 characters with ads, add ons and related items. Cut to the block after the title before you send it to a model.
- **Prices move.** The page shows the price at the moment of the call. Keep the date with every price you store.

## Questions

### Is this the official Amazon API?

No. RouterGrowth is independent and is not Amazon's API; the call reads the public product page.

### Is the price a separate field?

No. The price is in the markdown, as printed on the page. Parse it in code or with a model.

### Can it read reviews?

The rating, rating count and star split shown on the product page come through. It does not page through the full review list.

### What if the page is blocked?

The call moves to the next provider. If none returns the page, the run fails and says why.
