An ASIN (Amazon Standard Identification Number) is the unique 10-character ID Amazon assigns to every product. It is the backbone of product research.

What an ASIN looks like

Modern ASINs start with "B0" followed by eight characters, e.g. B08N5WRWNW. You can find it in the product URL after /dp/.
