URL ingestion
Use the URL-first API contract to keep this workflow tied to product URLs instead of marketplace-specific request parameters.
Amazon URL to key
Amazon ASIN workflows without ASIN-only input
Callers send the product URL. The API derives source and supplier product key metadata internally when the URL is supported.
curl -sS https://api.productinformationapi.com/v1/product-information \
-H "Authorization: Bearer $PIA_API_TOKEN" \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-d '{"productUrl":"https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B0EXAMPLE1"}'Endpoint map
Which endpoint do I use?
Public callers send productUrl, or items[].productUrl for
bulk requests. Source, supplier key, and method metadata are derived by the API.
| Use case | Endpoint | Request body | Returns |
|---|---|---|---|
| Product information | POST /v1/product-information | { "productUrl": "https://www.example.com/product/123" } | Returns a structured product snapshot such as title, brand, images, attributes, ratings, and ranks. |
| Stock check | POST /v1/product-stock | { "productUrl": "https://www.example.com/product/123" } | Checks live availability, offer count, price, seller, Prime, and delivery signals for one product URL. |
Do not send caller-provided source, externalId, or
method values. Those fields may appear only as derived response metadata.
Response fields
Fields this workflow usually reads.
The exact response depends on the endpoint, product URL, and source coverage, but these are the fields this page is designed around.

Polling cadence is owned by the client integration.
The API does not claim official marketplace affiliation or unlimited scraping.
FAQ
Is Product Information API an official Amazon API?
No. It is a product data API that can support Amazon-related workflows where coverage is enabled.
Do I need to send an ASIN?
No. Send the Amazon product URL. The API derives supplier keys internally when the URL is supported.
Can I scrape Amazon stock and product information separately?
Yes. Use the stock endpoint for availability and offers, and the information endpoint for product metadata.
Can I send Amazon URLs in bulk?
Yes. Use the bulk stock or bulk information endpoint with items[].productUrl.
