What you give it
| Input | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| categories | arrayoptional | Category slugs (electronics, books, toys-and-games) or full Best Sellers URLs. Find a slug in any Best Sellers page URL. |
| country | stringoptional | Which Amazon marketplace to read. Prices are geolocated, so the proxy country is matched to this automatically. |
| listType | stringoptional | Best Sellers (top 100 by sales), New Releases (recent launches climbing), or Movers & Shakers (biggest 24h rank gains). |
| pages | integeroptional | Amazon publishes two pages of 50. 1 gives the top 50, 2 gives the full top 100. |
| trackRankChanges | booleanoptional | Compare against the previous run to report new entrants, climbers, fallers and drop-outs. This is the reason to schedule the actor — the first run has nothing to compare to. |
| moversOnly | booleanoptional | Return only new entrants, climbers and fallers — skip products holding the same rank. Turns a 100-row chart into a short list of what actually changed. |
| concurrency | integeroptional | Keep this low. Amazon rate-limits aggressively and a bot check wastes the whole run. |
| snapshotKey | stringoptional | Key-value store key holding the previous run's ranks. Use different keys to track several category sets independently. |
| maxItems | integeroptional | Hard cap on products returned. You are never charged beyond this. |
| proxyConfiguration | objectoptional | Defaults to Apify residential proxy in the marketplace country. Amazon geolocates prices and blocks datacenter IPs, so changing this usually makes results worse. |
