Oftentimes, when searching products on Amazon, I want to see the products with the best ratings. More often than not, when sorting by Customer Ratings, Amazon will display products that have a 5-star rating from just one rating, which is not enough of a sample size to tell me much about those products.

So how can I search Amazon for 5-star-rated products that have received a minimum of X ratings (e.g. 10) and only then sort by ratings?

Can this only be done via their API or can this be done on their website directly via some kind of advanced search?

You can't do this with the API - Amazon removed star ratings (and review count) from it back in 2010, and the API now only shows them as part of a block of reviews in an iframe. So the only way to extract this information is to scrape Amazon - either the site itself, or inside those frames - which of course they do not take kindly to!

You type in “5 star rated…” and then whatever it is you’re looking for. It will show you the 5 star rated items. I’m not sure if it will show you all of them but this has worked pretty well for me.
