Amazon Review API: Amazon Review Agent API Calls

Hands-on with Amazon Review API Calls with Proxy IPs

Recently, a lot of cross-border e-commerce friends are asking how to use proxy IP to access the Amazon product review data. Today we'll break it up and crumble it, especially how to use theipipgoThe proxy service to get this done.

Why do I have to use a proxy IP?

To give a chestnut, you continuously use the same IP wildly sweeping Amazon review data, just like in the supermarket tasting area even eat 20 pieces of cake still do not buy - iron sure to be security guards to watch. Amazon's anti-climbing system than the supermarket security guards can be much more powerful, light blocking IP, heavy blocking account.

This is where a proxy IP is needed totake turns changing armorOperation. It's like changing your clothes every time you go to try something out, so the system thinks it's a different person visiting normally.

Sample code

Here's a Python demonstration of how to call the API through ipipgo's proxy:

import requests

 Proxy information from ipipgo
proxy_host = "gateway.ipipgo.com"
proxy_port = "9021"
username = "your account"
password = "Your password"

proxies = {
    "http": f "http://{username}:{password}@{proxy_host}:{proxy_port}",
    "https": f "http://{username}:{password}@{proxy_host}:{proxy_port}"
}

 Masquerading as a normal browser visit
headers = {
    "User-Agent": "Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64) AppleWebKit/537.36..."
}

response = requests.get(
    "https://api.amazon.com/product-reviews/v1/..." ,
    proxies=proxies,
    headers=headers,
    timeout=10
)

Be careful to puttimeoutSet it between 8-15 seconds, too fast and you'll be suspected of being a bot. ipipgo's proxy server responds in about 0.8 seconds, which is perfectly adequate.

The Three Pitfalls of Choosing a Proxy IP

1. IP purity: a lot of cheap proxy IP has long been pulled by Amazon black, ipipgo's IP pool is updated weekly 30%, this point is very critical!
2. geographic locationMatch the region of your target market, e.g. use the US West IP for collecting comments on US sites.
3. connection protocol: the socks5 protocol is recommended and is less likely to be recognized than the http protocol

Tell the truth.

I have seen too many people planted on the proxy IP, either to buy cheap junk proxy, or will not set the request parameters. In fact, using ipipgo'sE-commerce-specific packagesIt's less than one breakfast a day, so it's a lot less hassle than messing around with it yourself. Their technical support can also help you adjust the API parameters, much better than their own blind mess.

As a final reminder, collect review data to comply with Amazon's rules, don't catch a commodity to death. Reasonable set collection interval, with ipipgo's IP rotation strategy, which is the key to long-term stability.
