  • Comparing prices for a keyword across brands on Amazon
  • SKILL.md covers 📖 Introduction, ✨ Features, 🔑 API Key Setup and 🛠️ Input Parameters, plus 4 more sections
  • Runs Python scripts from its folder; calls python; needs BROWSERACT_API_KEY

What it does

The skill runs scripts/amazon_product_api.py, which calls BrowserAct's Amazon Product API template and returns structured listings from Amazon search results. Each record carries a title, ASIN, price, rating and product specifications, which suits market research, competitor price checks and product monitoring without collecting the data by hand.

Inputs are a required keyword, a brand filter that defaults to Apple, the number of result pages to turn through (default 1) and a browsing language that defaults to en. The task can take several minutes, and the script prints timestamped status lines while it runs. A BROWSERACT_API_KEY environment variable is required. If it is missing, the agent is told to stop and ask you to get a key from the BrowserAct console instead of trying anything else.

When your agent uses it

  • Comparing prices for a keyword across brands on Amazon
  • Collecting ASINs, ratings and specifications for market research
  • Checking how competitors price products for a search term
  • Searching Amazon in another language, such as German or Chinese

Example prompts

  • “Search Amazon for wireless earbuds from Samsung and list titles, prices and ratings.”
  • “Pull two pages of Dell laptop results with ASINs and specifications.”
  • “Find Apple laptops on Amazon in German and show me the price range.”
  • “Extract a product list for noise-cancelling headphones so I can compare ratings by brand.”

Requirements

  • Python to run scripts/amazon_product_api.py
  • A BrowserAct API key in the BROWSERACT_API_KEY environment variable

Workflow steps

5 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

  1. No Hallucinations: Pre-set workflows avoid AI generative hallucinations, ensuring stable and precise data extraction.
  2. No Captcha Issues: No need to handle reCAPTCHA or other verification challenges.
  3. No IP Restrictions: No need to handle regional IP restrictions or geofencing.
  4. Faster Execution: Tasks execute faster compared to pure AI-driven browser automation solutions.
  5. Cost-Effective: Significantly lowers data acquisition costs compared to high-token-consuming AI solutions.

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 11c057b. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    Ships 1 file in scripts/ (Python), which the agent can run.

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • python

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    Links to these hosts (documentation or services it may open):

    • browseract.com

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names these keys or tokens, usually read from environment variables:

    • BROWSERACT_API_KEY

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Amazon Product Search Extractor loads about 1.5k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 160 tokens; SKILL.md has 674 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~160
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.5k

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); the scripts in this folder are not scanned.

Amazon Product Search Skill

📖 Introduction

This skill utilizes BrowserAct's Amazon Product API template to extract structured product listings from Amazon search results. It provides detailed information including titles, ASINs, prices, ratings, and product specifications, enabling efficient market research and product monitoring without manual data collection.

✨ Features

  1. No Hallucinations: Pre-set workflows avoid AI generative hallucinations, ensuring stable and precise data extraction.
  2. No Captcha Issues: No need to handle reCAPTCHA or other verification challenges.
  3. No IP Restrictions: No need to handle regional IP restrictions or geofencing.
  4. Faster Execution: Tasks execute faster compared to pure AI-driven browser automation solutions.
  5. Cost-Effective: Significantly lowers data acquisition costs compared to high-token-consuming AI solutions.

🔑 API Key Setup

Before running, check the BROWSERACT_API_KEY environment variable. If not set, do not take other measures; ask and wait for the user to provide it. Agent must inform the user:

"Since you haven't configured the BrowserAct API Key, please visit the BrowserAct Console to get your Key."

🛠️ Input Parameters

The agent should configure the following parameters based on user requirements:

  1. KeyWords

    • Type: string
    • Description: Search keywords used to find products on Amazon.
    • Required: Yes
    • Example: laptop, wireless earbuds
  2. Brand

    • Type: string
    • Description: Filter products by brand name.
    • Default: Apple
    • Example: Dell, Samsung
  3. Maximum_number_of_page_turns

    • Type: number
    • Description: Number of search result pages to paginate through.
    • Default: 1
  4. language

    • Type: string
    • Description: UI language for the Amazon browsing session.
    • Default: en
    • Example: zh-CN, de

🚀 Usage

Agent should use the following independent script to achieve "one-line command result":

bash
# Example Usage
python -u ./scripts/amazon_product_api.py "keywords" "brand" pages "language"
⏳ Execution Monitoring

Since this task involves automated browser operations, it may take some time (several minutes). The script will continuously output status logs with timestamps (e.g., [14:30:05] Task Status: running). Agent Instructions:

  • While waiting for the script result, keep monitoring the terminal output.
  • As long as the terminal is outputting new status logs, the task is running normally; do not mistake it for a deadlock or unresponsiveness.
  • Only if the status remains unchanged for a long time or the script stops outputting without returning a result should you consider triggering the retry mechanism.

📊 Data Output

Upon success, the script parses and prints the structured product data from the API response, which includes:

  • product_title: Full title of the product.
  • asin: Amazon Standard Identification Number.
  • product_url: URL of the Amazon product page.
  • brand: Brand name.
  • price_current_amount: Current price.
  • price_original_amount: Original price (if applicable).
  • rating_average: Average star rating.
  • rating_count: Total number of ratings.
  • featured: Badges like "Best Seller" or "Amazon's Choice".
  • color, material, style: Product attributes (if available).

⚠️ Error Handling & Retry

If an error occurs during script execution (e.g., network fluctuations or task failure), the Agent should follow this logic:

  1. Check Output Content:

    • If the output contains "Invalid authorization", it means the API Key is invalid or expired. Do not retry; guide the user to re-check and provide the correct API Key.
    • If the output does not contain "Invalid authorization" but the task failed (e.g., output starts with Error: or returns empty results), the Agent should automatically try to re-execute the script once.
  2. Retry Limit:

    • Automatic retry is limited to one time. If the second attempt fails, stop retrying and report the specific error information to the user.

🌟 Typical Use Cases

  1. Market Research: Search for a specific product category to analyze top brands and pricing.
  2. Competitor Monitoring: Track product listings and price changes for specific competitor brands.
  3. Product Catalog Enrichment: Extract structured details like ASINs and specifications to build or update a product database.
  4. Rating Analysis: Find high-rated products for specific keywords to identify market leaders.
  5. Localized Research: Search Amazon in different languages to analyze international markets.
  6. Price Tracking: Monitor current and original prices to identify discount trends.
  7. Brand Performance: Evaluate the presence of a specific brand in search results across multiple pages.
  8. Attribute Extraction: Gather technical specifications like material or color for a list of products.
  9. Lead Generation: Identify popular products and their manufacturers for business outreach.
  10. Automated Data Feed: Periodically pull Amazon search results into external BI tools or dashboards.
