In this article, we’ll learn how to import Amazon data to Google Sheets. We can scrape product details such as titles, images, prices, ratings, and reviews, find deals, and a bunch of other things. We can then easily compare products, keep track of market pricing trends, and keep an eye on competitors.
All these can be easily done with the Amigo Google Sheets extension which lets us easily and quickly scrape data from multiple e-commerce sites and from various other data sources.
Read on to learn how to import Amazon data to Google Sheets. But first, let us get familiar with the steps involved.
How to import Amazon data to Google Sheets
Install the Amigo extension in Google Sheets
Install the Amigo Data Google Sheets add-on from the Google Workspace Marketplace.
Click here to install.
Alternatively, you can get it from Google Sheets.
- Open a new sheet
- Go to Extensions→Add-ons→Get add-ons
- Search for Amigo and install
Get the API endpoint URL
Sign up or log in to RapidAPI.
Click this link to go to the Amazon API documentation in RapidAPI. Or simply search for Amazon API in the RapidAPI Hub and click the top result.
Click on the Subscribe to Test button and subscribe to a plan of your choice, after which you’ll be able to run the test and import Amazon data to Google Sheets.
Click Endpoints to go back to the API Playground. On the left is the list of the type of data that can be retrieved.
Click on any one of the headings. For example, Product to fetch product details such as price and deals.
We’ll use the /api/product/[productId] as an example to scrape data such as the product URL, images, prices, and discounts among other things.
Under Required Parameters, we need to fill in the product ID of the product details we want to retrieve.
Note: The product ID can be found in the URL of the product listing. The alphanumeric characters following /dp/ is the product ID.
The Optional parameters can be left blank. We can also use the productURL parameter in the Optional Parameters instead of using the productId in the Required Parameters to scrape the product data.
Paste the product listing URL in Amazon in the productURL field and set the productId to 0.
To view the result, click the Test Endpoint button. The result will be displayed in JSON format under the Results section on the right, if the parameters are valid.
The API endpoint URL along with the headers–which will be required to import Amazon data to Google Sheets–can be found in the Code Snippets section.
Change the language from Node.js (Axios) to Shell→cURL. Copy the URL and note also the headers.
Pull the data to Google Sheets
Open Google Sheets and launch Amigo. To connect to Amigo, go to Extensions→Amigo: Data Exports and Reports→Connect.
We’ll be presented with a list of sources to connect and import data. Select Custom API.
Paste the endpoint URL (without the apostrophes) in the API URL field.
Then expand the Details tab and enter the headers. The headers can be found in the Code Snippets. The characters to the left of the colon are the header names and those to the right are the header values. Enter these as separate headers. Do not include the apostrophes.
Name: X-RapidAPI-Host, Value: amazon24.p.rapidapi.com
Name: X-RapidAPI-Key, Value: YOUR_API_KEY
Click the PREVIEW button. Flatten and expand the nested datasets and delete the columns that are not required. Then click IMPORT.
The data will be imported into Google Sheets in a moment. Below is a snippet of the imported data.
Similarly, we can pull list of competitiors for a particular product, get reviews for a product, deals and so on.
If you want to constantly keep watch of the products and the prices but have no time or eyes to do it, you can simply set an automatic refresh schedule and Amigo Data will retrieve the latest data and alert it to you via email. Click here to learn how to set a refresh schedule.
