Track Categories (Amazon only)
Track an Amazon category to monitor the top 100 products daily and follow their sales rank with a simplified set of product metrics.
Category tracking is how you monitor the competitive landscape around your own products: which competitors rank where, how those rankings shift over time, and what categories are heating up. For each tracked category, DataHawk keeps a daily snapshot of the top 100 products with their sales rank, price, rating, and key metadata.
Only available for Amazon
Category tracking capabilities
What data does DataHawk collect?
For each category you track, DataHawk will provide you with a daily snapshot of these primary product attributes:
- category name
- category path
- top 100 products
- bestseller rank
- product price
- title
- star rating
- numbers of ratings, including reviews
- A+ status
- product image URL
- estimated sales
Supported regions
Category tracking works in all Amazon regions:
- North America: US, Canada, Mexico, and Brazil.
- Europe: UK, Germany, Italy, France, Spain, Netherlands, UAE, Sweden, India, and Poland.
- Far East: Japan, Singapore, and Australia.
Category tracking is country-specific. If you track the same category in multiple marketplaces, each marketplace is counted as a separate tracked category.
History
When you add a category, you also get up to 2 years of its past data. From then on, DataHawk adds new data every day and keeps everything: after one year of tracking, you have up to 3 years of data; after two years, up to 4; and so on.
It may take up to 24 hours for the new category and its history to show up. After that, DataHawk keeps collecting the category every day.
Automated data sync and backup
We then securely store and back up all your data every day, enabling more comprehensive reporting with extended historical context.
Refresh Frequency
Data is updated daily. Data from the last 24 hours may be delayed.
