Jiimore Niche Competitor by ASIN
This skill guides you on how to query and filter Amazon competing products in the same niche segments as a reference ASIN, helping Amazon sellers discover potential competitors and evaluate opportunities using metrics such as click conversion rate, composite conversion rate, click volume, sales volume, reviews, price, FBA fees, and gross profit margin.
Core Concepts
Given a reference ASIN, the tool mines competing ASINs that share the same niche segments on Amazon and returns a paginated list with rich metrics: click conversion rate, composite conversion rate, click counts (7-day/30-day/90-day), sales volume, pricing, FBA fees, gross profit margin, customer rating, and 90-day trend data. Data is available for US, JP, and DE marketplaces only.
ASIN is required: Every query must include a reference asin. The tool finds products that share the same niche segments as this ASIN and returns them with detailed metrics.
Percentage fields: Several parameters use a 0-1 decimal range representing 0%-100%. When displaying these values to users, convert them to percentages (e.g., 0.15 -> 15%).
Date format: Launch date parameters use the format yyyyMMdd000000 (e.g., 20240101000000 for January 1, 2024).

API Usage
This tool calls the LinkFox tool gateway API. See references/api.md for calling conventions, request parameters, and response structure. You can also execute scripts/jiimore_page_asins_by_asin.py directly to run queries.
Usage Examples
1. Basic competitor lookup by ASIN Find competing products for a reference ASIN in the US market:
{
"asin": "B0GC4RPX79",
"countryCode": "US",
"sortField": "purchasedClicksT360",
"sortType": "desc"
}2. High-conversion competitors Find competitors with composite conversion rate above 15%:
{
"asin": "B0GC4RPX79",
"countryCode": "US",
"clickConversionRateCompositeMin": 0.15,
"sortField": "clickConversionRateComposite",
"sortType": "desc"
}3. New product opportunities Find recently launched competitors (within 3 months) with high click growth:
{
"asin": "B0GC4RPX79",
"countryCode": "US",
"launchDateMin": "20240101000000",
"clickCountGrowthT7Min": 0.1,
"sortField": "clickCountGrowthT7",
"sortType": "desc"
}4. Price-range filtered competitors Find competitors priced between $20 and $50 with good gross margins:
{
"asin": "B0GC4RPX79",
"countryCode": "US",
"priceMin": 20,
"priceMax": 50,
"grossProfitMarginMin": 0.3,
"sortField": "gpm",
"sortType": "desc"
}5. High-click low-review competitors (potential weak spots) Find competitors with monthly clicks above 2000 but fewer than 100 reviews:
{
"asin": "B0GC4RPX79",
"countryCode": "US",
"clickCountT30Min": 2000,
"totalReviewsMax": 100,
"sortField": "clickCountT30",
"sortType": "desc"
}6. Japanese market competitor analysis Explore competitors in the Japanese market sorted by rating:
{
"asin": "B0GC4RPX79",
"countryCode": "JP",
"sortField": "customerRating",
"sortType": "desc"
}7. Chinese sellers in the same niche Filter competitors by seller country (China) with high sales volume:
{
"asin": "B0GC4RPX79",
"countryCode": "US",
"sellerCountry": "CN",
"salesVolumeT360Min": 1000,
"sortField": "purchasedClicksT360",
"sortType": "desc"
}Display Rules
1. Present data clearly: Show query results in well-structured tables. Convert decimal ratios to percentages for readability (e.g., 0.25 -> 25%). 2. Highlight key metrics: Always surface the ASIN, product title, price, customer rating, click conversion rate (composite), click counts, total reviews, and gross profit margin as primary columns. 3. Show niche context: When the niches field is present, display the top niche titles and demand scores to give context about which market segments the product competes in. 4. Trends visualization: When trends data is available, summarize the 90-day trend direction (rising/falling/stable) for key metrics like clicks and pricing. 5. Pagination guidance: When total exceeds the current page size, inform the user of the total count and suggest fetching additional pages if needed. 6. Error handling: When a query fails, explain the reason based on the response message and suggest adjusting filter criteria (e.g., broadening ranges or checking the ASIN). 7. No subjective advice: Present data objectively without adding unsolicited business recommendations. Only provide interpretation when explicitly requested by the user.
Important Limitations
- Supported marketplaces: Only US, JP, and DE are available. Other marketplace codes will be rejected.
- ASIN required: Every query must include a reference ASIN. The API will not return results without one.
- Result cap: Maximum 100 results per page.
- Percentage values: All rate/share parameters use 0-1 range, not 0-100. Ensure correct values when constructing filters.
- Date format: Launch date parameters must use
yyyyMMdd000000format.
User Expression & Scenario Quick Reference
Applicable -- Finding competing products based on a reference ASIN:
| User Says | Scenario |
|---|---|
| "Find competitors for ASIN B0GC4RPX79" | Direct competitor lookup |
| "What products compete with this ASIN" | Same-niche competitor exploration |
| "Show me similar products in the same niche" | Niche competitor discovery |
| "High-conversion competitors for my product" | Conversion-based competitor filtering |
| "New products competing in my niche" | New entrant identification |
| "Which Chinese sellers compete with this ASIN" | Seller-origin based filtering |
| "Find low-review high-click products like mine" | Opportunity gap analysis |
| "Competitor pricing analysis for ASIN XX" | Price-focused competitor analysis |
Not applicable -- Needs beyond ASIN-based same-niche competitor discovery:
- Keyword-level niche market analysis (use Jiimore Niche Info by Keyword instead)
- Individual ASIN revenue or profit estimation
- ABA search term data / keyword research
- Advertising campaign management or bid optimization
- Product review analysis or listing optimization
- Supplier sourcing or logistics planning
Boundary judgment: When users say "competitor analysis" or "similar products," if their intent focuses on finding products that compete in the same niche as a specific ASIN, this skill applies. If they want keyword-level market segment data, direct them to Jiimore Niche Info by Keyword. If they need detailed product data for a single ASIN, direct them to Amazon Product Detail.

Handling Large Responses
To avoid overflowing the agent context, persist the response to disk and extract only the fields you need:
python scripts/response_io.py run --script scripts/jiimore_page_asins_by_asin.py --out-dir <DIR> '<params>'
python scripts/response_io.py read <file> --fields "<paths>" # or --path "<JMESPath>"Pick--out-diroutside any git working tree (e.g./tmp/...on Unix,%TEMP%/...on Windows). Persisted responses may contain PII, pricing, or auth-sensitive data — do not commit them. Files are not auto-deleted; clean up when the task is done.
run writes the full response to a file and emits only a schema preview + file path. read projects specific fields, with --limit/--offset for slicing and --format json|jsonl|csv|table for output.
When to prefer this pattern — apply your judgment based on the response characteristics, e.g.:
- High field count per record, or fields you don't need
- Batch/paginated results (multiple items per call)
- Long-text fields (descriptions, reviews, HTML, time series)
- Output reused across later steps rather than consumed immediately
For small, single-use responses, calling the main script directly is fine.
⚠️ The preview is a truncated schema + sample, not the full data. Any field-level decision must read from the persisted file via read. <!-- /LF_LARGE_RESPONSE_BLOCK -->

正常情况下,接口的 HTTP 状态码均为 200,业务的成功与否通过响应体中的 errorCode 字段区分(errorCode = 200 表示成功,其他值表示业务错误)。当遇到未授权等情况时,HTTP 状态码为 401,且对应的 errorCode 也是 401。
| errcode | 含义 | 处理建议 |
|---|---|---|
| 200 | 成功 | 正常解析业务字段 |
| 401 | 认证失败 | 检查请求头 Authorization 是否正确携带 API Key;API Key 申请方式请参考上述调用规范下的认证方式。 |
| 其他非200值 | 业务异常 | 参考 errmsg 字段获取具体错误原因 |
