Amazon Opportunity Discoverer — Niche Scanner & Scoring

Tell me your budget and experience. I find opportunities, score them, and rank.

Files

• Script: {skill_base_dir}/scripts/zoodata.py — run --help for params
• Reference: {skill_base_dir}/references/reference.md (field names & response structure)

Credential

Required: ZOODATA_API_KEY. Get free key at zoodata.ai/api-keys

Capabilities & Data Flow

• Network: only https://api.zoodata.ai (Bearer ZOODATA_API_KEY). Setting ZOODATA_BASE_URL to an untrusted host (anything other than api.zoodata.ai / *.zoodata.ai / localhost) makes the CLI refuse the request and withhold the key — the Bearer token is never sent to an untrusted host.
• Execution: bundled shared ZooData CLI {skill_base_dir}/scripts/zoodata.py (Python 3, stdlib-only). This skill allows opportunity-scan, categories, market, products, product, check, plus the review fallback toolkit (reviews-raw / review-tag-prompt / review-reduce-prompt / review-aggregate). Do not invoke unrelated subcommands for this skill's tasks — the bundled manifest {skill_base_dir}/scripts/allowed-commands.json enforces this: the CLI refuses out-of-scope subcommands with a structured COMMAND_NOT_ALLOWED error before any API request.
• Local files: a private temporary working dir (created with mktemp -d, removed when the fallback completes) during the review fallback; reads the optional credential store ~/.zoodata/config.json.
• Sent to the API: keywords, category paths, ASINs, marketplace/date and numeric filter values only. Never sent: budget, experience level, risk tolerance, or any other user-profile text — profile inputs map client-side to numeric filters.
• Credits: every API call consumes account credits. For broad or ambiguous requests, state the estimated credit cost and confirm with the user before running multi-call scans. The composite opportunity-scan command executes ~15+ API calls across up to 9 loops (~25-30 credits observed) in ONE invocation and has NO skip/trim flags — under a credit cap, use the granular commands instead.
