# Amazon Query Command (/query)

This command allows you to query an Amazon product, using its [Amazon Standard Identification Number (ASIN)](https://gepard.io/ecommerce-strategy/what-is-asin-in-amazon#:~:text=ASIN%20\(Amazon%20Standard%20Identification%20Number,up%20of%20numbers%20and%20letters.). The command provides you with an array of data in regard to the product, its sales, ratings, and more.

## Usage

### Locating the ASIN of an Amazon product

Firstly, find a product you want to query on Amazon.

<figure><img src="/files/qyPOeMVYN8p3ESv7hIb9" alt="Example Amazon product"><figcaption><p>Example Amazon product</p></figcaption></figure>

You will notice in the URL of the page, there is a special identifier, this is the ASIN. They usually have the same format.

In this example, the ASIN is **B07NL27TCK**.

#### **You may also query an Amazon product using its barcode**

It is also important to note that you can use the query command to locate products based on their barcode. Below is an example of this:

There are three parameters for this command:

* Extension - This is the corresponding Amazon country that will be queried for the product (remember ASINs in different regions won't always be the same)
* Identifier - This is the product ASIN or Barcode
* Public - This defines whether your results will be posted for everyone to see, or just for yourself

If ran correctly, you should receive a result like below.
