Get Remaining Stock From Amazon List

Worked on the Amazon API to get basic product information. Details I'm trying to get:

  • The product's name
  • Price
  • Availability (Yes / No)
  • Remaining Stock - When stock is low.

You may have seen this type of listing, where the quantity is small, it starts showing 5 items to the left. etc.

For example: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Dome-Enclosure-Foscam-Indoor-Cameras/dp/B00BMVRNHE/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1431042188&sr=8-1&keywords=dome+enclosure+foscam

Only 9 left in stock.

I could get all the other details except the rest of the stock. Since this is publicly available data, I mean that it can be caused by a twist even without logging in (this will not solve my problem in this case), so I assume there must be an option in the API to get this.

Any help? Links / any help appreciated.

Unfortunately, the Amazon Product API does not provide this information.

Although you can remove the HTML sequence on the product page, which shows the number of items left in stock, and use them on your website, I do not consider this legal.
