Python keepa Client Library ===========================

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.

Sign up for Keepa Data Access _.

Documentation can be found at Keepa Documentation _.

Requirements ------------ This library is compatible with Python >= 3.10 and requires:

  • `numpy
  • aiohttp >= 3.14.0
  • pandas
  • pydantic >= 2
  • requests >= 2.32.5
  • urllib3[zstd] >= 2.7.0
  • tqdm
Both clients request and automatically decode Zstandard (zstd) responses, while continuing to accept gzip, deflate, and uncompressed responses. Zstandard support is required and installed automatically: Python 3.10–3.13 use backports.zstd through urllib3[zstd], and Python 3.14 and later use the standard library's compression.zstd. No extra installation option is needed.

Product history can be plotted from the raw data when matplotlib is installed.

Interfacing with keepa requires an access key and a monthly subscription from Keepa Pricing _.

Installation ------------ Module can be installed from PyPi _ with:

.. code::

pip install keepa

Source code can also be downloaded from GitHub _ and installed using::

cd keepa pip install .

Brief Example ------------- .. code:: python

import keepa accesskey = 'XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX' # enter real access key here from https://get.keepa.com/d7vrq 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])

Typed responses are available with typed=True for users who prefer Pydantic models while keeping the default dictionary output unchanged.

.. code:: python

products = api.query('B0088PUEPK', typed=True) product = products[0] print(product.asin) print(product.title) product_dict = product.model_dump(exclude_none=True, by_alias=True)

See the typed response documentation _ Typed Responses page for supported methods, complete return shapes, serialization, and async usage.

Brief Example Using Async ------------------------- Here's an example of finding product ASINs using the keepa.AsyncKeepa class:

.. code:: python

>>> import asyncio >>> import keepa >>> product_parms = {'author': 'jim butcher'} >>> async def main(): ... 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.

.. code:: python

>>> import asyncio >>> import keepa >>> async def main(): ... 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'

Detailed Examples ----------------- Import interface and establish connection to server

.. code:: python

import keepa accesskey = 'XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX' # enter real access key here api = keepa.Keepa(accesskey)

Single ASIN query

.. code:: python

products = api.query('059035342X')

# See help(api.query) for available options when querying the API

The asynchronous client uses the same query interface:

.. code:: python

import asyncio import keepa

async def main(): accesskey = 'XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX' # enter real access key here api = await keepa.AsyncKeepa.create(accesskey) return await api.query('059035342X')

products = asyncio.run(main())

Multiple ASIN query from List

.. code:: python

asins = ['0022841350', '0022841369', '0022841369', '0022841369'] products = api.query(asins)

Multiple ASIN query from numpy array

.. code:: python

import numpy as np

asins = np.asarray(['0022841350', '0022841369', '0022841369', '0022841369']) products = api.query(asins)

products is a list with one entry per successful result from the Keepa server. By default, each entry is a dictionary containing the available Amazon product data.

.. code:: python

# Available keys print(products[0].keys())

# Print ASIN and title print('ASIN is ' + products[0]['asin']) print('Title is ' + products[0]['title'])

# Index batch results by ASIN when random access is more convenient products_by_asin = {product['asin']: product for product in products}

When Keepa has history for a product, data contains arrays paired with corresponding *_time arrays. Individual history types may be absent.

.. code:: python

# Access new price history and associated time data history = products[0].get('data', {}) newprice = history.get('NEW', []) newpricetime = history.get('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(history.keys())

The product history can also be plotted from the module if matplotlib is installed

.. code:: python

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.

.. code:: python

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()

By default, the client waits for Keepa tokens when necessary. Use wait=False only when your application manages token availability itself; it does not make the API response faster and may produce a token error.

.. code:: python

products = api.query('059035342X', wait=False)

Buy Box Statistics ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 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.

.. code:: pycon

>>> import 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) datetime user_id condition isFBA 0 2022-11-02 16:46:00 A1QUAC68EAM09F Used - Like New True 1 2022-11-13 10:36:00 A18WXU4I7YR6UA Used - Very Good False 2 2022-11-15 23:50:00 AYUGEV9WZ4X5O Used - Like New False 3 2022-11-17 06:16:00 A18WXU4I7YR6UA Used - Very Good False 4 2022-11-17 10:56:00 AYUGEV9WZ4X5O Used - Like New False .. ... ... ... ... 115 2023-10-23 10:00:00 AYUGEV9WZ4X5O Used - Like New False 116 2023-10-25 21:14:00 A1U9HDFCZO1A84 Used - Like New False 117 2023-10-26 04:08:00 AYUGEV9WZ4X5O Used - Like New False 118 2023-10-27 08:14:00 A1U9HDFCZO1A84 Used - Like New False 119 2023-10-27 12:34:00 AYUGEV9WZ4X5O Used - Like New False
