Getting a Keepa API key

<!-- AFFILIATE --> Sign up at https://keepa.com/#!api to get your API key. <!-- /AFFILIATE -->

The free tier provides 100 tokens per minute. Each product data request costs tokens proportional to the data retrieved (history length, number of offers, etc.). Typical product lookups cost 1-5 tokens; best-seller lists and deals cost more. See the Keepa API docs for the full token cost table.

Token economics at a glance:

• get_product (no history): 1 token
• get_product (with history): 1-10 tokens depending on data depth
• get_best_sellers: 50-100 tokens per request
• get_deals: 5-25 tokens per page
• Free tier refills at 100 tokens/minute

If you hit the quota, the tool returns a clear error message and you can retry after the bucket refills.

Example conversations

1. Product research

"Look up B08N5WRWNW, then show me the last 6 months of price history and tell me whether demand has been growing."

The assistant calls get_product, then get_price_history with range="6m", then get_sales_rank_history with range="6m", and synthesises a verdict.

2. Category opportunity scan

"Pull the top 20 best sellers in Electronics (category 172282), then get current details and sales rank trends for the first three."

The assistant calls get_best_sellers, then get_product and get_sales_rank_history for the first three ASINs, and summarises the demand signals.

3. Deal hunting

"Find highly-rated Amazon deals with at least 25% off, then show me the price history for the top result to confirm it is a genuine dip."

The assistant calls get_deals with min_price_drop_pct=25, min_rating=45, picks the top ASIN, then calls get_price_history with range="6m" to validate the claimed price drop against historical data.

Privacy

This server runs entirely on your machine. It collects no telemetry and stores no data. The only network calls it makes are to the Keepa API (api.keepa.com), sending your API key and the ASINs, keywords, or category ids you ask about. Your API key is read from the KEEPA_API_KEY environment variable and never written to disk or sent anywhere except Keepa. See Keepa's privacy policy: https://keepa.com/#!privacy
