Nexscope Niche Market Info
This skill guides you on how to query and analyze Amazon niche market data via the Nexscope data service, helping Amazon sellers gain deep insights into specific niche markets including competition, pricing, reviews, and growth trends.
How to Invoke
- API Endpoint:
POST /jiimore/getNicheInfo (complete params/response/error codes in references/api.md)
- Python Script:
python scripts/amazon_niche_info.py '<JSON params>' [--inline]
- Cost constraint: This tool consumes credits; the same session and parameter combination is called only once by default, with a 24h local cache in the script. On failure or empty results, do not automatically retry with different keywords, pagination, or postal codes; inform the user about additional consumption before continuing to search.
Output strategy (script default behavior):
- Always write the full response to
<cwd>/nexscope/<YYYY-MM-DD>/<session>/data/nexscope-jiimore-get-niche-info-<timestamp>.json (<cwd> is the working directory at script execution time, i.e. the current project directory in Claude Code; <session> is taken from the SESSION_ID env var, auto-grouped by user task; do not write to /tmp, error if current directory is not writable)
- Response body <= 8 KB: print full JSON to stdout after saving
- Response body > 8 KB: print only summary to stdout after saving (top-level fields, common counts like
total/costToken, length of largest list field + first 3 samples)
- Add
--inline to force full output to stdout (still saves to disk)
Data reading tip: Check the summary first to decide if it's enough; when specific fields are needed, prefer using jq or ConvertFrom-Json to extract from the saved json file on demand, avoiding loading the entire JSON into context.
Core Concepts
A niche market in Nexscope represents a fine-grained product segment on Amazon. Each niche is identified by a unique nicheId. This tool retrieves comprehensive market intelligence for a single niche at a time, covering:
- Market overview: niche title, demand score, product count, brand count, selling partner count
- Pricing: average price, minimum price, maximum price
- Search & conversion: weekly/quarterly search volume, search volume growth, search conversion rate, click-to-sale conversion rate, units sold
- Competition concentration: top 5 / top 20 product and brand click share (current, 90-day, 360-day snapshots)
- Product launches: new products launched, successful launches across 90-day / 180-day / 360-day windows
- Inventory health: average out-of-stock rate over time
- Seller maturity: average brand age, average selling partner age
- Review insights: average review rating, average review count, positive and negative customer review insights
- Advertising: ACOS (advertising cost of sales), sponsored products percentage
- Profitability: profit margin > 50% SKU ratio, break-even ratio, return rate
Supported marketplaces: US (United States), JP (Japan), DE (Germany). Default is US.
