This tutorial shows how to scrape Amazon Most Wished For category pages into CSV with the Amazon Most Wished For Scraper by Category template for UScraper. You will choose source URLs, import the workflow, confirm the export path, validate the first rows, and decide when the data is clean enough for category research.
Before you start
Prerequisites for scraping Amazon Most Wished For
You need UScraper installed, the current JSON from the Amazon Most Wished For Scraper by Category template, a short list of approved Amazon category URLs, and a folder where CSV exports can be written. Start from the official Amazon Most Wished For page and drill into one category before you add more inputs.
Do not treat the first run as production. Amazon ranking pages can vary by marketplace, region, language, category depth, sign-in state, and access checks. The bundled workflow includes Amazon Devices page 1, page 2, and an Adapters and Connectors subcategory sample so you can inspect the flow before replacing the URL list.
Treat this as an operational tutorial, not legal advice. Collect only data you are allowed to access, keep runs modest, do not bypass CAPTCHA or access controls, and get legal review before using exports commercially.
Workflow shape
What the Amazon Most Wished For scraper does
The template is an Amazon category ranking scraper, not a full product-detail crawler. It collects the fields visible on Most Wished For ranking cards and repeats category context on every row so the CSV can be filtered later by parent category, subcategory, or source URL.
The workflow path is simple: Set Window Size -> Navigate -> Wait for Page Load -> Sleep -> Wait for Element -> Structured Export -> Sleep -> Loop Continue. The Navigate block owns the category URL list. Structured Export reads each visible product card with .p13n-sc-uncoverable-faceout and writes the file in append mode. Loop Continue advances through the configured URLs.

| Structured Export | CSV name, headers, append mode, and save folder | Keeps several category pages in one auditable file. |
| Loop Continue | End of each configured URL iteration | Moves from page 1 to page 2 or the next subcategory input. |
Runbook
How to scrape Amazon Most Wished For to CSV
Choose the source category
Open Amazon Most Wished For and copy one category or subcategory URL that fits your approved research scope. Keep different marketplaces and list types in separate runs.
Import the UScraper template
Open Amazon Most Wished For Scraper by Category, download the JSON, and import it into UScraper.
Replace Navigate URLs
In the Navigate block, replace the sample Amazon Devices URLs with your approved Most Wished For category URLs. Test one URL before adding a batch.
Set the export path
In Structured Export, confirm amazon_most_wished_for_scraper.csv, headers, append mode, and the local save folder for this research run.
Run one validation pass
Compare a few rows against the rendered page: category, rank, product title, product URL, image URL, review URL, rating, rating count, and price.
Scale only after QA
Add more category URLs after validation passes. Stop if Amazon returns CAPTCHA, sign-in gates, regional redirects, blank product cards, or repeated pages.
Output
What the Amazon Most Wished For CSV includes
The export is built for category comparison. Category fields repeat on every row, which makes it easier to combine several URLs, dedupe product links, and join the file to product-detail or review datasets later.
| CSV column | What it captures | Validation check |
|---|---|---|
subcategory_url | Parent category URL inferred from page navigation or current URL | Confirm it matches the category being analyzed. |
subcategory_name | Parent "Most Wished For in ..." category label | Compare against the page heading or navigation. |
sub_subcategory_name | Current nested category when present | Useful when exporting multiple subcategories. |
sub_subcategory_url | Current ranking page URL | Keep this with every row for auditability. |
product_title | Visible product title, with image alt text fallback | Spot-check long titles and sponsored-looking cards. |
product_url | Product detail URL from the ranking card | Use for dedupe or follow-up enrichment. |
ranking | Visible rank badge or calculated page position | Compare top, middle, and final rows. |
product_image_url | Best available product image URL | Open a few URLs before reporting. |
product_review_url | Reviews link when Amazon renders it | Expect blanks on some cards or layouts. |
rating, rating_count, price | Visible marketplace signals | Treat missing values as page behavior, not always scraper failure. |

Troubleshooting
Common issues when scraping Amazon Most Wished For
| Symptom | Likely cause | Fix |
|---|---|---|
| No product rows export | CAPTCHA, robot check, sign-in page, regional gate, or selector drift | Stop the run, inspect the browser, and do not bypass access controls. |
| Blank prices | Amazon did not render price for that card, region, or product type | Keep the blank value and verify the visible page manually. |
| Missing ratings or review counts | Rating module was omitted or the card layout changed | Compare several rows before using the CSV in reporting. |
| Category names look too broad | Parent and nested category navigation were inferred from the page | Use sub_subcategory_name and sub_subcategory_url for precise grouping. |
| Duplicate products appear | Multiple category URLs can surface the same product | Dedupe downstream by product_url or ASIN extracted from the URL. |
| Page 2 repeats page 1 | Redirect, copied URL error, or page load did not advance | Reopen both URLs manually and rerun only after the browser address changes. |
The safest QA habit is still simple: run one page, compare rows while the browser is open, then widen the URL list.
