How to get started?

Installation

git clone git@github.com:philipperemy/amazon-reviews-scraper.git && cd amazon-reviews-scraper
pip install -r requirements.txt # recommended to use a virtualenv instead of pip install directly (python3 preferred).

Then you can set the AMAZON_BASE_URL to your region. For example, those are valid choices:

Search based on a keyword. Example: iPhone

  • This keyword search will fetch products that match the keyword. For each product, comments are fetched and stored in comments/{product_id}.json (one file per product).
python amazon_comments_scraper.py -s iPhone # will search iPhone on the region specified by AMAZON_BASE_URL and fetch many comments!

Get random products ids

  • It will start looking at some pages to list as many links as possible, then will browse each link to find the products ids.
  • Once the products ids file is generated, the second script will browse each product and start fetching the comments. For each product, a JSON file comments/{product_id}.json is generated with the comments of the product.
python amazon_products_scraper.py -o product_ids.txt # Get all the product ids first.
python amazon_comments_scraper.py -i product_ids.txt # Find all the comments for the products ids.

Get random products ids (VPN)

Amazon bans after 5000 queries on average. Fortunately, you can bypass it with a VPN. Check the section VPN below and/or check this repository for more information https://github.com/philipperemy/expressvpn-python.

python amazon_products_scraper.py -o product_ids.txt # Get all the product ids first.
python amazon_comments_scraper_vpn.py -i product_ids.txt # Wraps amazon_comments_scraper.py with IP auto switching.

VPN

In my case, I subscribed to this VPN: https://www.expressvpn.com/.

I provide a python binding for this VPN here: https://github.com/philipperemy/expressvpn-python.

Run those commands in Ubuntu 64 bits to configure the VPN with the Google News Scraper project:

git clone git@github.com:philipperemy/expressvpn-python.git evpn
cd evpn
sudo dpkg -i expressvpn_1.2.0_amd64.deb # will install the binaries provided by ExpressVPN
sudo pip install . # will install it as a package

Also make sure that:

Some examples on Amazon Japan (Search based on a keyword)

Search = BOTANIST ボタニカルシャンプー 490ml & トリートメント 490g モイストセット

2017-02-27 16:52:47,347 - INFO - CONTENT  = まだ1日しか使ってませんが以前モイストを使ってました。モイストと比べてシャンプーは泡立ちが少し悪いかもしれません。また香りも控えめで余り残らないです。さらにその香りも人によって好き嫌いに分かれるシトラスのキツめ?香りです。でもさすがボタニスト!髪の毛はサラサラになります。
