Kindle API · Public data · Proxies
There’s no public Kindle API. Here’s what Amazon offers instead.
Amazon doesn’t offer a public API for the Kindle Store, Kindle Direct Publishing or your Kindle library. For product data, Amazon’s Creators API, which replaced the Product Advertising API 5.0, gives affiliate partners programmatic access to Amazon’s catalog. To collect public Kindle Store pages, such as eBook prices and ranks by marketplace, you run your own scraper through residential proxies in each country.
Residential from $1.50/GB, mobile from $2.00/GB. No concurrent session limit, and unused bandwidth rolls over.
Not affiliated with Kindle. ProxyEmpire doesn’t sell a Kindle API or scraper. We provide the residential and mobile proxies, and the proxy management API, that your own scraper or data tool runs on. Our Scraping API is coming soon.
Does Kindle have an API?
The short answer, and what it means for you
Not a public one. Amazon has no public developer API for the Kindle Store, no API for publishing or sales data in Kindle Direct Publishing (KDP), and no official API for reading your own Kindle library. What Amazon does offer is catalog data for its affiliate partners.
In 2026 Amazon deprecated the Product Advertising API 5.0 (PA-API) and replaced it with the Creators API, which gives publishers, influencers and affiliate partners programmatic access to Amazon’s product catalog. Applications still calling PA-API 5 now get an error telling them to migrate. If you’re an Amazon Associate and need product details for links and widgets, the Creators API is the official route.
For anything else, such as tracking eBook prices, Kindle Unlimited availability or bestseller ranks across marketplaces, teams collect the public Kindle Store pages on each Amazon marketplace with residential IPs from that country.

How to collect public Kindle data with proxies
Three steps, then four habits
- Open the dashboardStart the $1.97 trial, then choose rotating residential or mobile, or create an API token.
- Target the right marketSet the country of the Amazon marketplace you track, such as the US, UK or Germany, so you see its local prices and ranks.
- Plug the proxies into your scraperAdd them to your scraper, headless browser or data pipeline over HTTP(S) or SOCKS5, with a new IP per request.
Use the Creators API where it fits. If you are an Associate building links or widgets, the official API is the right tool.
Collect per marketplace. Prices and availability differ by country. Use residential IPs in each marketplace you track.
Pace your requests. Amazon reacts quickly to bursts. Spread collection over time and back off on errors.
Keep to public pages. Your Kindle library and account pages are off limits for scraping.
Follow Kindle’s terms and the laws that apply to you, including copyright and privacy laws such as the GDPR and the CCPA. ProxyEmpire doesn’t support scraping private data, spam or any illegal activity.
Best proxies for Kindle data
Residential first, mobile when needed
Rotating residential
Real home broadband IPs that rotate on every request. The standard choice for public Kindle Store pages, with country and city targeting.
- Country, region, city, ZIP, ISP and ASN targeting
- New IP per request, sticky or custom session length
- Residential IPs in 179 countries and territories
Rotating mobile (4G)
IPs on real mobile carrier networks. Useful when pages challenge residential traffic, or to check the mobile store as phone users see it.
- Country, region, city, ZIP, carrier and ASN targeting
- Rotate on demand or keep a sticky session
- Mobile IPs in 174 countries and territories
Rotating datacenter
Low-cost server IPs. Amazon challenges them quickly, so use them only for lightly protected sites.
- Datacenter IPs in 62 countries
- New IP per request or sticky sessions
- Country-level targeting
Manage it all by code: the ProxyEmpire API generates proxy lists with location targeting, rotates sessions and reports bandwidth. See the web scraping hub and the API documentation.

Rotating residential — all targeting included
Try the network for $1.97, pay as you go from a single GB at $3.50, or take a larger plan for as little as $1.50/GB. Cover images use most of the data, so collect page data rather than images where you can. Country targeting costs nothing extra. Plans are billed in US dollars (USD), and unused bandwidth rolls over.

| Pay As You Go | 1 GB | $3.50 | Buy | |
| Starter | 7 GB | $20 | Buy | |
| Hobby | 28 GB | $75 | Buy | |
