Does the Amazon search API return sponsored results?

Yes. Sponsored and organic placements are both returned, each with its page position, and is_sponsored tells them apart. The same ASIN can appear twice, once sponsored and once organic.

How do I sort Amazon search results by price?

Pass sort=price_asc or sort=price_desc. The other values are relevance, reviews, newest and bestsellers. min_price and max_price filter in the marketplace’s currency.

Can I search inside one category?

Yes. Pass category as a search alias such as electronics or as a numeric browse node ID such as 172541.

Amazon Data API · GET /search

Amazon search API

GET /search runs a keyword search on one Amazon marketplace and returns each result’s page position, ASIN, title, price, list price, rating, ratings count, sponsored, Amazon’s Choice and Best Seller flags, badges, coupon and delivery text, unit price and the “bought in past month” text. Each page also gives the total result count, related searches and the filters Amazon offers. Results come 1 page at a time, up to page 20, with sorting and price filters.
