An Amazon scraper Chrome extension is a browser add-on that lets you capture product data directly from Amazon pages while you browse—no command line or servers required. With one click, it can extract fields like title, price, ASIN, rating, reviews count, images, seller info, and availability, then export to CSV/Sheets for quick analysis.
If you prefer code (more control, scheduling, and reliability), check out this Python project:https://github.com/maivyly52-gif/amazon-price-scraper
How it works (in simple terms)
DOM parsing: The extension reads the HTML of the product/listing page and pulls structured data (title, price, rating, etc.).
Pagination handling: Many tools auto-flip through result pages to gather more items.
Export & sync: Results usually export to CSV/XLSX or sync to Google Sheets.
Compare this with a code-based approach like the repo here: https://github.com/maivyly52-gif/amazon-price-scraper
— scripts can run on schedules, rotate proxies, and integrate with pipelines.
Common features
One-click price & rating capture
Bulk extraction from search results
CSV/Sheets export for analysis
Optional filters (price range, rating thresholds)
Basic error handling when elements change
For advanced usage (alerts, cron jobs, proxies), a Python tool like this repo is better: https://github.com/maivyly52-gif/amazon-price-scraper
Pros and cons
Pros (Chrome extension):
Easiest onboarding—install and click
Great for ad-hoc checks and small batches
No server costs
Cons:
Limited scale; browser must stay open
Breaks when Amazon changes layout
Harder to add proxy/anti-bot logic
Fewer automation hooks than code

Compliance & best practices
Respect Amazon’s Terms of Service and local laws.
Throttle requests and mimic human behavior.
Cache & dedupe to reduce page hits.
Use proxies only where permitted; avoid account logins unless you own them.
The Python repository shows a cleaner, controllable path to follow these practices programmatically: see the GitHub repo.
