The Problem:
In the fast-paced world of e-commerce, data is king. Sellers, marketers, and product researchers need to make informed decisions quickly. However, manually analyzing thousands of products on Amazon is time-consuming and inefficient. Key questions like:
– Which products offer the best value for money?
– What are the most popular products in a category?
– Which suppliers are dominating the market?
– What keywords are driving customer interest?
These questions remained unanswered without a robust tool to scrape, analyze, and visualize Amazon data.

The Solution:
The Amazon Scraping and Analytics App was developed to address these challenges. Built using Python and Streamlit, this app combines web scraping, data analysis, and interactive visualizations to provide actionable insights. Here’s how it works:
1. Web Scraping: A custom scraper extracts product data (e.g., ASIN, name, price, rating, reviews, features, and supplier information) from Amazon.
2. Data Analysis: The app calculates key metrics like average ratings, total reviews, and discount percentages.
3. Visualizations: Interactive charts and graphs (built with Matplotlib, Seaborn, and Plotly) make it easy to spot trends and patterns.
4. Keyword Analysis: Using NLP techniques, the app identifies frequently mentioned keywords in product features and correlates them with ratings.
