installation

first install Ruby. then ensure the following Ruby gems are installed (gem install <gem_name>):

• watir
• headless

next (optional), move the amz_reviews file (from this repo) to an executable path. for Mac users this is often:

mv amz_reviews /usr/local/bin

note: this scraper uses Firefox by default. to switch to Chrome, replace :firefox with :chrome in the code but be forewarned - you may run into headaches. KISS.

using the scraper

simply: amz_reviews <asin> <page_start> <page_end>

(if you did not move the amz_reviews code to an executable path, run it via ./amz_reviews <asin> <page_start> <page_end> from the directory in which you saved it)

scraper parameters

• asin is Amazon's product identifier, which you can grab from any product page
• page_start and page_end are optional; Amazon returns up to 500 pages, or 5,000 reviews

output

your terminal will produce a live log of scraping progress, which autosaves every 50 reviews. the finished result will be a CSV report inside the directory from which you ran the scraper.
