Specifications can be found on this image, which is a compilation of screenshots made by scanning a Samus amiibo with the Android App "NFC TagInfo":

Most of the NFC pages are encrypted. This includes the actual Mii data for the owner, an UTF-16 string for the Amiibo nickname, etc.

The NFC tag for Amiibo is NTAG215.

Each page is 4-bytes, the following is the structure of the NFC page:

NFC page	Total pages	Raw byte offset in EEPROM	Total byte size	Description
0	4	0x10	0x10	Same as standard NTAG215: 9-byte serial-number, "internal" u8 value, two lock bytes then the "Capability Container (CC)" page.
4	8	0x10	0x20	SHA256-HMAC over 0x1DF-bytes: first 3-bytes are from the last 3-bytes of page[12], the rest is over the first 0x1DC-bytes of the plaintext data following this hash(see page[13]).
12	1	0x30	0x4	Unknown. Last 3-bytes here are used with the above HMAC.
13		0x34		The system crypts 0x1A0-bytes starting here.

Structure of plaintext data from page13

Offset	Size	Description
0x0	0xB0	Amiibo settings are stored within here.
0xB0	0xD8	AppData, for the user-application with the programID specified in the above Amiibo settings.
0x188	0x18	Not used in "decrypted" form, since this isn't encrypted to begin with.
