What is the Amazon Book Scraper?

The Amazon Book Scraper is a browser bookmarklet that extracts book details—like titles, authors, descriptions, cover images, and prices—from Amazon product pages. It generates a JSON file you can import into WordPress using the RS WP Book Showcase Pro plugin, creating a book catalog instantly. It’s perfect for authors, publishers, bloggers, and anyone wanting to monetize a book catalog with Amazon affiliate links.

• Publishers: Create a professional catalog of your publications.
