Ask HN: Any recommendataions for exporting data from Amazon?
13 points by coreyp_1 48 days ago
I was hoping that there would be an official API or MCP server for getting my own shopping/order history out of Amazon, but I'm not finding anything. Has anyone solved this problem?

Context: I'm just trying to get more efficient with tax paperwork and household management. An MCP server in which my agent could search for products (and examine the listings to see if they actually match my requirements, such as dietary restrictions) would be even more amazing, but that's probably asking too much.

Just use Claude desktop
Thank you for your reply, but I haven't paid for Claude, and I don't plan to with my other subscriptions. Plus, I'm trying to have this be part of my headless automation with my own, local llms. If it weren't hacked together, it wouldn't be appropriate for this website in the first place! LOL
In anyone in the future is reading this, I ended up vibe-coding a chrome plugin to let me pull the page info as a MCP call. It's working (and I successfully can extract data) using Qwen 3.6 locally (GMKTec EVO-X2, 128GiB RAM).
