Tool: Amazon PA-API

If you’re doing product research and you want clean data (without clicking around the Amazon UI), this tool helps.

I built it to be read-only and boring: fetch data, export it locally, and leave a paper trail.

What you can do with it

• Search supported products and fetch item details (read-only).
• Normalize Amazon URLs into ASIN-based references.
• Export results locally for reporting.

Why it’s safe by default

• Read-only to Amazon APIs (no remote writes).
• Outputs are designed to be machine-readable (JSON) so you can audit results.
• Local file outputs are gated with --apply.

Quickstart

• amazon-pa-api-tool --version
• amazon-pa-api-tool auth check

Status

• Release: v0.1.0
• Status label: Stable (read-only)
• Verification date: shown in the Trust box at the top of the page.

If you’re new, start with the docs and the safety model first.
