Amazon provides different services on the e-commerce podium.
One thing, which they do not provide is easy use of product data.
Currently, there’s no way of just exporting data from Amazon to any spreadsheets for your business requirements. Either to do comparison shopping, competitor research, or building an API for app projects.
Web scraping can easily solve this problem.

1. Initially, on the left sidebar, just click on the 3 dots given next to the text main_template.
2. Rename the template with search_results_page text. Templates assist X-Byte Enterprise Crawling scraper to keep various page layouts separately.

7. Enlarge the label selection as well as remove the Start New Entry option in the label command.
8. Then, click on the PLUS (+) symbol next to label selection as well as utilize the Conditional command. It will permit us to get information from all these items.
9. For the initial Conditional command here, we will utilize the given expression:
$e.text.contains(“Screen Size”)
10. Then, we will utilize the PLUS (+) symbol next to conditional commands to add the command Relative Select. Now, we will use the command Relative Select to click on a Screen Size’s text as well as then on real measurements next to that (here, 21.5 inches).
11. Now, X-Byte Enterprise Crawling will scrape the product’s screen sizes into its column. Here, we can copy-paste a conditional command that we have created for pulling other data. Just ensure to edit conditional expressions. For instance, an ASIN expression would be:
$e.text.contains(“ASIN")
12. Finally, ensure that the conditional selection is properly aligned, and therefore, they won’t be nested among themselves. You may drag & drop the selection for fixing this. The conclusive template will look like given here:

5. Then, click on the PLUS (+) symbol of the next_button collection and utilize the Click command.
