You can do that with Amazon's product advertising API (PAAPIv5). For that you need an affiliate account. See this page for more information. There exists an downloadable example for Node.js. You need to fetch an item based on its ASIN by get-items endpoint. On its response you find the urls for the product images in various sizes

"ItemResults": {
"Items": [
  {
    ...
    "Images": {
      "Primary": {
        "Small": {
          ..
          "URL": "https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61s4tTAizUL._SL75_.jpg",
        }
      }
    }
}]

There exists as well an online playground called Product Advertising API ScratchPad.

Keep in mind there exists limits how many request you can send!
