Let the experts handle your web-scraping
Trying to implement and manage web-scraping internally proved to be a huge maintenance burden for our software team. With Rainforest API, we no longer spend time worrying about how to get our data but, rather, how to use it most effectively to benefit our clients. Thanks for providing a very intuitive, user-friendly API!

Poor support, clunky tool… consider other vendors!
API is clunky and challenging to use for bulk ASIN processing. API’s behaviour was different than expected. Support team refused to consider refunding unused subscription. Do not recommend!

Hi Jack. Thank you for sharing your feedback. We apologize that Rainforest did not meet your expectations. Unfortunately, we did not find any record of a support request associated with this account/domain. Please feel free to reach out to our CS team at hello@rainforestapi.com so we can investigate your feedback further. We would love to make things right!

They refuse to refund subscription even one day after subscription renew. They stay behind their policy and refuse to refund. I have test the product one day, pay for one month and forget the date of renew, with a single email before renew I would have close the account and stop it. Amazing way to help a new small customer. Not sure it is a good way to work for 59$. I have never send a wrong review before that's the first one.

excellent service and support
That's an excellent service but it would be better if the data was updated since it's outdated sometimes.
-- Update --
The support was great and resolved my issue. The problem was my wrong request and not the product.

Terrible Experience
Terrible Experience.
Production Plan (250$) to use the method ASIN to GTIN.
10K request done with existing ASIN. Less than 10% GTIN result.
Support indicates they were investigating. No ETA provided. We waited 3 weeks. Nothing have been done.
Credits could not be transfer next month. Move to another provider.

Hi there. Sorry to hear that this was your experience. We looked into your recent ticket and are not seeing any investigation in relation to your inquiry. Unfortunately, we are unable to transfer credits from one product to another at this time.
If we are missing another ticket that was open for 3 weeks, please respond to that last email so the ticket can be reopened and we can assist you again. Sorry again for any trouble.
Great tool with a fantastic support team

Almost perfect service
Perfect service, fast and detailed, easy to use.
Unfortunately, results from bulk uploads are not friendly to handle.

Hi Giacomo. Thank you for sharing your feedback! We're happy to hear you've found the service near perfect.
Unfortunately (you're right), CSV results from bulk uploads (Collections) are still subject to a size limit per file. For now, we split the results into smaller groupings in order to ensure smooth downloads across all Collections. Sorry for the inconvenience!

Review API not functioning as advertised
Unfortunately, I have not been able to get the intended results. Firstly, empty results are counted towards my token usage. This means that even when I don't receive any data, my token count is still being deducted. Furthermore, currently the custom review API responses give only the first page as a result, which is not helpful as I need thousands of pages of data. This has resulted in me not being able to use the service as advertised. I have reached out to the support team multiple times for help, but I have not received any helpful response for over 10 days. This is unacceptable, as I am still paying for the service without being able to use it effectively. I urge RainforestAPI to rectify these issues as soon as possible and provide the service that I am paying for. I am extremely dissatisfied with the service provided, and in its current state I do not recommend it to others looking into downloading customer reviews.

Hello Ian. Thank you for the review. We're very sorry for any issue you are experiencing. Our team would be more than happy to investigate any charges for empty results -- we encourage you to share an exact url for any empty result that's been returned. In the case that there has been a mistaken charge, we'll certainly return the credits to your account.
We acknowledge that there has been an issue with the review responses, which we've communicated in your support ticket. Any further update would be communicated via that ticket. Thank you for your understanding.

A valuable tool for any Amazon seller
Just like the title states, this is a critical tool for any seller managing a large catalog with a lot of competitors.
The interface is clean, and easy to use.

Awful Refund Policy. Absolute Garbage of a Company
Awful company policies. They tote about the quality of their API calls but when tested it had a spotty success rate versus just simply using Amazon's add product page with the same UPC. I had only made less than 5% of my monthly allotted request limit and decided to cancel the same day I subscribed. I thus requested a refund and they claimed that all sales are final and no refunds or partial refunds were allowed and that when I cancelled I would lose immediate access to my remaining requests allotment. Absolute garbage company policies.

Hey there, sorry to hear your experience was far below your expectations. If you're open to it, we'd still like to troubleshoot your issue. We are confident in Rainforest's success rate and would love to get to the bottom of why you've experienced a spotty success rate.
While we do have a policy in place to protect our business, our customer success team would be happy to take a closer look at your issue to make this right for you! (hello@rainforestapi.com)

The best external API but slow
Everything is excellent but I think you can improve these:
1. API speed.
2. Provide refinements in a different endpoint, because the current way is slow and requires a lot of manual work.

Thank you for the feedback, Juan.
In case you haven't discovered this yet: If you are running a large number of requests, it would make sense to use Collections to run the requests in bulk. You’ll get much better speeds overall as the platform runs requests in a Collection concurrently, and you can have up to 15k requests per Collection. Let us know if you have any questions!

Great experience so far!
We're using the Rainforest API inside our Laravel project and really appreciate the proper returned data they offer.
Great experience so far!
