Are there any datasets on Amazon products' price history? http://camelcamelcamel.com/ doesn't make it available and the Amazon Product Advertising API doesn't seem to give access to the price history.

you could also try to collect your own data with tools such as import.io– UlrichJan 16, 2014 at 12:14

www.keepa.com is a similar website to camelcamelcamel. I cannot find a way to download the data but maybe you will.
In addition, Terapeak provide a free package with limited api calls (500/months) where you can find historical prices.
http://www.isbndb.com has a good API that uses XML calls/responses to get new/used prices from Amazon.com as well as a number of other sites like abebooks, half.com, etc...
You can also scrape (or better yet contact and ask the folks at) https://thetracktor.com which seems to have some great historical data.
EDIT - Adding example:
https://thetracktor.com/ajax/prices/?id=881549&days=90is the JSON response powering the graph athttps://thetracktor.com/detail/B0054JJ0QW/, for example.

keepa.com is offering an api (https://keepa.com/#!pricedataapi), they even offering an SDK for Java: https://github.com/keepacom/api_backend . But it seems like you have to pay for it..
EZSiteTracker’s Price Tracking Tool allows you to detect the price change of your favorite product/s online and get instant notifications via email. Visit: http://www.ezsitetracker.com/PriceTracking
I believe this api provides exactly what you are looking for - Amazon Price History API
I recently published it and made available virtually for free in case you only need info about a few products.
