What is this website?
Ecommerce Data API is an ecommerce data API focused on Amazon, for people who need to pull research data into their own systems. One API key can call product, keyword, market, traffic, global trademark, and image-text recognition endpoints. The docs list 45 open capabilities, with the base URL https://ecommercedataapi.com and version v1. A program can call the REST API directly, or an agent in Codex, Claude Code, or Cursor can choose endpoints through a local CLI and Skill. The docs say that agent path does not install a public MCP server. Fields for each endpoint follow that endpoint’s documentation.
Core features
- Look up Amazon listing details, price, BSR, ratings, reviews, sellers, variations, and sales-trend data
- Mine search terms, reverse-lookup traffic keywords, and check ABA rank and trends
- Read category size, concentration, price bands, and demand-trend statistics
- Query related products, traffic sources, and keyword flow
- Search global trademark lists and details, and recognize Chinese and Latin text in images
Common use cases
- A backend job or scheduled task writes fields for a chosen ASIN into an internal product-research table
- An operator choosing keywords checks search terms, reverse-lookup results, and rank movement over a period
- An analyst compares brand concentration and price bands in a category before deciding whether to enter it
- A developer in Cursor or Claude Code asks in one sentence for a temporary pull of product or trademark data
Who is it for?
- Developer teams that will connect the REST API to a product or data pipeline and can manage API keys themselves
- Operators and analysts doing Amazon product, keyword, and competitor checks who accept data by endpoint
- People who want a coding agent to pick endpoints and will install the CLI and Skill locally
- Poor fit: anyone who does not want to register, manage keys and quotas, and only wants a ready-made research screen
How does it compare with similar tools?
If you want a finished research screen, this is closer to a data source you still have to connect: register, create an API key you can revoke, then request by marketplace and endpoint. The docs split usage into direct REST calls and agent calls through the local ecomdata CLI and Skill. Both paths share the key, credits, and quota rules, and they cover the same 45 v1 endpoints. Trademarks and image text recognition are separate groups, so endpoint depth is not the same everywhere. Usage, errors, and request status can be checked in the account dashboard.
FAQ
Q: What do I do for the first request?
A: Register, create an API key, and send an HTTP request to a v1 endpoint on https://ecommercedataapi.com. The docs include OpenAPI and Postman resources plus runnable examples.
Q: Can I connect it to an AI coding tool?
A: Yes. The agent path installs the ecomdata CLI and Skill locally, enters the API key through a local secure prompt, then describes the task in Codex, Claude Code, or Cursor. The docs say this does not install a public MCP server.
Q: Which data is open now?
A: The catalog includes Amazon products, keywords, traffic, and markets, plus global trademarks and image text recognition: 45 open endpoints in total. The homepage labels those six groups as 12, 11, 14, 3, 4, and 1.
Q: Can ranks and prices in a response be treated as one site-wide standard?
A: Not by default. Sample responses show fields such as price, BSR, rating, review count, and seller. Meaning and coverage depend on that endpoint’s documentation.
