As far as i know, there is no way to view the performance of any products that you are not selling.

The only indicator is the Amazon SalesRank, which you can get over the Product API (ItemLookup) or by Scraping the product page.

However, if you find a way, it would be neat if you post it here.

UPDATE: Thanks Jonathan, i updated the link. Jonathan pointed out that there's a new Product API in MWS. Use that, folks ;)

  • well there is one for price history http://uk.camelcamelcamel.com/ and this is another one for sales history i don't know if this guy is using his own products or not "http://www.ranktracer.com/account_workstation.php" for this website use username: demo@ranktracer.com and password: demopass – Keyur Padalia Jul 16 '12 at 12:46
  • If you have access to MWS, you should use the new Products API. There is no (official) way to get historical sales info. https://developer.amazonservices.com/doc/products/products/v20111001/php.html/180-2908086-7672115 – Jonathan Spooner Jul 18 '12 at 09:05

Looking through the dev documents I cant see a way to get the info for items you are not selling yourself.

It maybe worth looking through the Reports API docs, and playing with the scratch pad to find something you maybe able to use.

Update: As pointed out by Steve, the Products Advertising API. Refine product matching using sales rank on Page 8 may help.
