Agent skill, easy

Look up an Amazon product, as a skill your agent installs.

Amazon product details API for an agent: it sends an ASIN or a product URL to a catalog endpoint and reads title, brand and price back. Several providers sell the call, so the agent tries the cheapest first. You pay per call, and a failed call costs nothing.

Install

How do I install this skill?

Two steps. Set up looot once, then save this skill file where your agent reads skills.

1. Set up looot once

Give this line to your agent
set up looot - https://looot.ai/skill.md

Works in Claude Code, Cursor, Codex and ChatGPT through MCP. Searching and inspecting are free.

2. Save the skill

Save the skill file for Claude Code
mkdir -p ~/.claude/agent-skills/looot-amazon-product && curl -fsSL https://looot.ai/agent-skills/amazon-product/SKILL.md -o ~/.claude/agent-skills/looot-amazon-product/SKILL.md

Or open the raw SKILL.md and drop it into the skills folder of your own agent.

When it starts

What do I say to start this skill?

Any of these starts it. The agent asks for what is missing, nothing more.

  • Example prompt
    get the details for ASIN B09B8V1LZ3

  • Example prompt
    what does this Amazon listing say about price and reviews

  • Example prompt
    compare these three products from their pages

It asks for

  • An ASIN or a product URL
  • The Amazon marketplace, such as amazon.com or amazon.de

It hands back

  • Title and brand
  • Price and availability
  • Rating and review count
  • Features and specifications
  • Images and variants
  • Seller

Give title, price, availability, rating and review count first, then features. Say which marketplace the price is from.

How it runs

What does the agent do when it runs?

Four moves, in this order, with the price known before any money moves.

  1. Step 1

    Discover

    looot discover finds the endpoints that match the task. It is free.

  2. Step 2

    Inspect

    looot inspect shows the price and the exact input before anything is spent. It is free.

  3. Step 3

    Run

    looot run executes the call with an idempotency key, so a retry never charges twice. The agent reads the run status, not the HTTP code.

  4. Step 4

    Fall back

    On a provider error or a timeout the agent tries the next endpoint in the skill, cheapest first. It never retries a bad input elsewhere.

The file

What is inside the SKILL.md?

The whole file, as your agent reads it. No price is written in it: the agent reads the live price with looot inspect.

# Look up an Amazon product

Amazon product details API for an agent: it sends an ASIN or a product URL to a catalog endpoint and reads title, brand and price back. Several providers sell the call, so the agent tries the cheapest first. You pay per call, and a failed call costs nothing.

This skill needs the looot skill set up first: https://looot.ai/skill.md

## Ask for these inputs

The job takes an ASIN or a product URL. Example: B09B8V1LZ3.

- An ASIN or a product URL
- The Amazon marketplace, such as amazon.com or amazon.de

## Run it

1. Find the endpoint: `looot discover --mode auto --query "amazon product details"`. The endpoints listed below are the known matches.
2. Read the price and the input schema before spending: `looot inspect <endpoint-id>`. Tell the user the price, then run.
3. Run it: `looot run searchapi-io-amazon-product --input '{"asin":"B09B8V1LZ3","amazon_domain":"amazon.com"}' --idempotency-key <new-key> --wait`. Reuse the same key only to retry the same request.
4. Read the run's `status` and `error`, not the HTTP status. A run can return `failed` with a normal response.
5. If a run fails with a provider error or times out, try the next endpoint from the list below, cheapest first. If it fails on your input (a 4xx style error), fix the input. Do not retry it on other providers.

## Endpoints

Each endpoint reads the same job from a different provider. They differ in inputs, fields and price. Run `looot inspect` on the ones that take the input you hold, start with the cheapest, and move to the next on a provider error.

- `searchapi-io-amazon-product`: takes an ASIN with a marketplace domain, delivery country and postal code, and returns title, pricing, reviews and specifications
- `anysite-api-amazon-products`: takes an ASIN or a product URL and returns title, brand, price, images, rating, features, specifications, variations, seller and availability
- `brightdata-amazon-product`: takes a product URL and returns title, brand, price, rating, review count, best-seller rank, features, images, variants and seller

## What comes back

- Title and brand
- Price and availability
- Rating and review count
- Features and specifications
- Images and variants
- Seller

## Answer rule

Give title, price, availability, rating and review count first, then features. Say which marketplace the price is from.

## Before you start

- Set the marketplace and the delivery country. Price and stock on Amazon depend on where the item ships, and a default may not match your market.
- Keep the ASIN, not the URL, as your key. URLs carry tracking text, and the ASIN is the stable id.
- For reviews, use the reviews endpoint. The product call gives the rating and the count, and a separate endpoint returns the review text.

## Cost rules

- Searching and inspecting are free. Running is billed per call at the price `looot inspect` shows.
- Say the price before the first run, and the total after a batch.
- Never loop a failing call. Stop after two failures and report what failed.

## When not to use this skill

Use `looot-reddit-search` instead when you want what people say about a product category, not one listing.

When should I use a different skill?
