## Pricing

* **$0.075 per successful task**\
  This is a pay-as-you-go pricing model — you’re only charged when an Amazon task successfully returns product data such as title, price, and availability.

You can view your current credit balance and usage history in the [Crawlbyte Dashboard](https://dash.crawlbyte.ai/).

## Response

The response contains metadata about the task. For `amazon` type, the most important fields are `status` and `result`.

```json
{
  "id": "bd3e89ed-815e-4395-98a3-521ede71cc4d",
  "status": "completed",
  "result": {
    // Parsed availability and pricing data
  }
}
```

* `result` is a **JSON object** object containing the final scraped product data — no further polling is required.

### Status Types

| Status     | Meaning                                                                       |
| ---------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| queued     | Task was accepted and added to the processing queue.                          |
| processing | Task is currently running.                                                    |
| completed  | Task finished and product data was successfully collected.                    |
| failed     | Task encountered an error (e.g., invalid input, no results, or system issue). |

## Polling

If `status` is `queued` or `processing`, continue polling the task until it's completed or failed.

```
GET https://api.crawlbyte.ai/api/tasks/:id
```

* You’ll receive the same structure with an updated `status`.
* Only poll until you receive `completed` or `failed`.
* Recommended interval: **every 2–3 seconds**.

## SDK Usage

You can run this task using any official **Crawlbyte SDK**:

* [Go SDK](https://github.com/crawlbyte/crawlbyte-sdk-go)
* [TypeScript SDK](https://github.com/crawlbyte/crawlbyte-sdk-ts)
* [Python SDK](https://github.com/crawlbyte/crawlbyte-sdk-py)

Each SDK provides a simple way to:

* Create the task
* Poll for status
* Handle the final result

Refer to the [SDKs section](/sdks.md) for installation, examples, and setup instructions.

## Notes

* Only valid input objects with correct ASINs will return results.
* Crawlbyte handles retries, rendering, fingerprinting, and anti-bot logic internally — no need to manage it yourself.
* Use `multithread: true` in advanced settings if running large volumes.
* Ensure all required fields like region and the list of ASINs are properly structured.
* The Amazon response includes **all relevant product data** such as title, price, availability, and seller details.
* Average task duration is **\~2 seconds.**
