How to Track Amazon New Releases Using SteadyAPI

Staff Member

amazon API

New releases is a ranked list for one Amazon category. Each row has an ASIN, a title, a price string, a rating, and a rank label such as #1. You pass a category path, not a keyword.

👉 To access this endpoint, you must obtain an API key: https://steadyapi.com/register

Authentication

Every call uses a Bearer token from your SteadyAPI dashboard.

Documentation:
https://docs.steadyapi.com/#authenticating-requests

headers = {
  'Authorization': 'Bearer YOUR_API_KEY'
}

Where this fits

Use a category path you already know, then take asin from a row into GET /v1/amazon/products/details or GET /v1/amazon/products/offers. This is not the product search endpoint. A shopper query such as “baby bottles” is not a category path.

Track Amazon new releases

Endpoint: GET /v1/amazon/rankings/new-releases

Documentation:
https://docs.steadyapi.com/#amazon-GETapi-v1-amazon-rankings-new-releases

Parameters

category — required category path, max 100 characters (example: baby-products/166777011)
country — optional marketplace code, default US
language — optional, default en_US when that language exists for the marketplace
page — optional page number, default 1

The category value is a path segment. The sample uses baby-products/166777011. A short slug such as beauty is what the docs show for another category. Letters, numbers, hyphens, and slashes are allowed. page moves you down that same ranking. It does not change the category.

Python

import requests

url = "https://api.steadyapi.com/v1/amazon/rankings/new-releases"
headers = {"Authorization": "Bearer YOUR_API_KEY"}

response = requests.get(url, headers=headers, params={
    "category": "baby-products/166777011",
    "page": 1,
})
response.raise_for_status()
payload = response.json()

for item in payload.get("body") or []:
    print(item.get("rank"), item.get("asin"), item.get("price"))

Annotated sample

{
  "asin": "B015XBYDLM",
  "title": "Dr. Brown’s Natural Flow Level 2 Narrow Baby Bottle Silicone Nipple, Medium Flow, 3m+, 100% Silicone Bottle Nipple, 6 Count",
  "rating": 4.8,
  "rating_count": 92665,
  "price": "$9.97",
  "rank": "#1"
}

Store asin. Show rank and title. price is a string. rating is a number and rating_count is an integer. meta.category and meta.page echo the request. meta.currency for this US sample is USD.

Practical use

rank is the label on that page, including the #. Do not sort the page again by assuming #1 is a numeric field. If you need the number, strip the hash yourself.

Page 2 is a different slice of the same category. Keep meta.page with the ASINs so a later job does not mix page 1 and page 2.

The title in the sample is long. Truncate it for a card, and keep the full string if you are matching products. The ASIN is the stable id. The title is not.
