amazon

amazon is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from AgentComputerAI/torch. It costs 93 tokens per session (2,368 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A scraping guide for Amazon search-result pages. It explains how to obtain the server-rendered product cards and work around Amazon’s CloudFront bot wall using a real Chrome session.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to extract product information from Amazon search URLs such as /s?k=... . It covers result pages, pagination, and the fields available in each result card.
Why use it?
Simple command-line requests may receive an error or CAPTCHA instead of search results. The guide identifies the page structure and the browser setup needed to retrieve the data.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

amazon scanned grade A with 1 finding against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 1mo ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

description: Proven scraping playbook for amazon.com search result pages (/s?k=...). CloudFront + CAPTCHA wall blocks bare curl with HTTP 503, but a real Chrome session via the real Chrome debug port walks right through

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 158 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Amazon (amazon.com)

Amazon search pages are server-rendered HTML behind CloudFront. The only real obstacle is IP/UA reputation on anonymous clients (curl → HTTP/2 503 + x-cache: Error from cloudfront). Attaching to the user's real Chrome profile via 127.0.0.1:9222 defeats the bot wall on the first request — no stealth plugin, no proxy, no captcha solver required. From there it's pure cheerio on 22 s-search-result cards per page.

Detection

Signal Value
CDN CloudFront (via: 1.1 ...cloudfront.net, x-amz-cf-id, x-amz-cf-pop)
Framework Server-rendered HTML (no SPA, no hydration payload needed)
Anti-bot CloudFront + Amazon bot wall. Bare curl with a fake UA → HTTP 503, x-cache: Error from cloudfront. Escalates to Robot Check / CAPTCHA page if you push harder from a clean IP.
Auth Not required for /s search pages.
robots.txt Disallows /s?, but Amazon doesn't enforce it in-band — just don't abuse it.

Architecture

  • /s?k=<query>&page=<n> returns full HTML with 22 result cards per page, already populated (no client-side hydration needed for the fields we care about).
  • Each card is wrapped in div[data-component-type="s-search-result"] with data-asin="<ASIN>".
  • Title lives in h2 span (text). Link is h2 a[href] (relative, may be an /sspa/click?...url=... redirect for sponsored slots).
  • Price is .a-price > .a-offscreen → "$83.59".
  • Rating and review count are both encoded in the aria-label of the review link: "Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars by 1,234 reviews. Go to review section." — regex it out, don't trust the nested star spans (they render with inconsistent text).
  • Image: img.s-image[src].
  • Sponsored flag: presence of .puis-sponsored-label-text / .s-sponsored-label-text inside the card.

Strategy used

  • Phase 0 (curl) — failed. curl -A <chrome UA> https://www.amazon.com/s?k=... → HTTP/2 503 from CloudFront. Confirmed this is IP/UA reputation, not a missing header.
  • Phase 1 (framework) — skipped. No Next.js __NEXT_DATA__, no clean JSON API on public search. The HTML is the API.
  • Phase 2 (browser) — puppeteer.connect({ browserURL: the real Chrome debug port }) to the user's real Chrome. First request loaded full results, no challenge, no captcha. Then page.content() → cheerio. Do not use a fresh Chromium + stealth here; it's a wasted escalation step on Amazon.

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.

amazon is a skill published in the GitHub repository AgentComputerAI/torch (5 stars, last pushed 6mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 93 tokens to every session and 2,368 once invoked, about $0.0004 per session on Opus 5.5. A static security scan graded it A with 1 finding (makes network calls). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-31.
