This Python library allows you to interface with the API at Keepa to query for Amazon product information and history. It also contains a plotting module to allow for plotting of a product.
See API pricing at Keepa API.
Documentation can be found on readthedocs at keepa Documentation.
This library is compatible with Python >= 3.8 and requires:
numpy
aiohttp
matplotlib
tqdm
Product history can be plotted from the raw data when matplotlib
is installed.
Interfacing with the keepa
requires an access key and a monthly
subscription from Keepa API.
Module can be installed from PyPi with:
pip install keepa
Source code can also be downloaded from GitHub and installed using:
cd keepa pip install .
import keepa
accesskey = 'XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX' # enter real access key here
api = keepa.Keepa(accesskey)
# Single ASIN query
products = api.query('B0088PUEPK') # returns list of product data
# Plot result (requires matplotlib)
keepa.plot_product(products[0])
Here's an example of obtaining a product and plotting its price and
offer history using the keepa.AsyncKeepa
class:
>>> import asyncio
>>> import keepa
>>> product_parms = {'author': 'jim butcher'}
>>> async def main():
... key = '<REAL_KEEPA_KEY>'
... api = await keepa.AsyncKeepa().create(key)
... return await api.product_finder(product_parms)
>>> asins = asyncio.run(main())
>>> asins
['B000HRMAR2',
'0578799790',
'B07PW1SVHM',
...
'B003MXM744',
'0133235750',
'B01MXXLJPZ']
Query for product with ASIN 'B0088PUEPK'
using the asynchronous
keepa interface.
>>> import asyncio
>>> import keepa
>>> async def main():
... key = '<REAL_KEEPA_KEY>'
... api = await keepa.AsyncKeepa().create(key)
... return await api.query('B0088PUEPK')
>>> response = asyncio.run(main())
>>> response[0]['title']
'Western Digital 1TB WD Blue PC Internal Hard Drive HDD - 7200 RPM,
SATA 6 Gb/s, 64 MB Cache, 3.5" - WD10EZEX'
Import interface and establish connection to server
import keepa
accesskey = 'XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX' # enter real access key here
api = keepa.Keepa(accesskey)
Single ASIN query
products = api.query('059035342X')
# See help(api.query) for available options when querying the API
You can use keepa witch async / await too
import keepa
accesskey = 'XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX' # enter real access key here
api = await keepa.AsyncKeepa.create(accesskey)
Single ASIN query (async)
products = await api.query('059035342X')
Multiple ASIN query from List
asins = ['0022841350', '0022841369', '0022841369', '0022841369']
products = api.query(asins)
Multiple ASIN query from numpy array
asins = np.asarray(['0022841350', '0022841369', '0022841369', '0022841369'])
products = api.query(asins)
Products is a list of product data with one entry per successful result from the Keepa server. Each entry is a dictionary containing the same product data available from Amazon.
# Available keys
print(products[0].keys())
# Print ASIN and title
print('ASIN is ' + products[0]['asin'])
print('Title is ' + products[0]['title'])
The raw data is contained within each product result. Raw data is stored as a dictionary with each key paired with its associated time history.
# Access new price history and associated time data
newprice = products[0]['data']['NEW']
newpricetime = products[0]['data']['NEW_time']
# Can be plotted with matplotlib using:
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
plt.step(newpricetime, newprice, where='pre')
# Keys can be listed by
print(products[0]['data'].keys())
The product history can also be plotted from the module if matplotlib
is installed
keepa.plot_product(products[0])
You can obtain the offers history for an ASIN (or multiple ASINs) using the offers
parameter. See the documentation at Request Products for further details.
products = api.query(asins, offers=20)
product = products[0]
offers = product['offers']
# each offer contains the price history of each offer
offer = offers[0]
csv = offer['offerCSV']
# convert these values to numpy arrays
times, prices = keepa.convert_offer_history(csv)
# for a list of active offers, see
indices = product['liveOffersOrder']
# with this you can loop through active offers:
indices = product['liveOffersOrder']
offer_times = []
offer_prices = []
for index in indices:
csv = offers[index]['offerCSV']
times, prices = keepa.convert_offer_history(csv)
offer_times.append(times)
offer_prices.append(prices)
# you can aggregate these using np.hstack or plot at the history individually
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
for i in range(len(offer_prices)):
plt.step(offer_times[i], offer_prices[i])
plt.show()
If you plan to do a lot of simulatneous query, you might want to speedup query using
wait=False
arguments.
products = await api.query('059035342X', wait=False)
To load used buy box statistics, you have to enable offers
. This example
loads in product offers and converts the buy box data into a
pandas.DataFrame
.
>>> import keepa
>>> key = '<REAL_KEEPA_KEY>'
>>> api = keepa.Keepa(key)
>>> response = api.query('B0088PUEPK', offers=20)
>>> product = response[0]
>>> buybox_info = product['buyBoxUsedHistory']
>>> df = keepa.process_used_buybox(buybox_info)
