Nykaa Scraper [Only $2.50/1K💰] | Products | Reviews | India

Nykaa Scraper

Scrape nykaa.com — India's largest beauty & wellness marketplace — for product listings, search results, full product details (shades, prices, MRP, stock, offers, ingredients) and customer reviews as structured JSON. No browser: the Actor calls Nykaa's own JSON endpoints directly, so runs are fast and cheap.

Built for beauty brand pricing teams, D2C founders, market researchers and data teams tracking India's beauty and personal-care market — MRP vs selling price, shade-level stock, rating histograms and customer reviews in one dataset.

Nykaa Beauty Price Monitoring & Market Research

• Nykaa price monitoring — track selling price vs MRP and discount depth per SKU
• India beauty and personal-care market research
• Competitor and share-of-shelf analysis across India beauty brands
• Product catalogue enrichment — ingredients, how-to-use, manufacturer and country of origin
• Customer review and sentiment analysis for one product or a whole category
• Bestselling SKU and ingredient trend tracking (niacinamide, retinol, vitamin C, hyaluronic acid and more)
• D2C beauty pricing intelligence, promotional and sale-window tracking

How It Works

Nykaa is protected by Akamai Bot Manager, so the Actor uses Apify's impit client to reproduce Chrome's TLS and HTTP/2 fingerprint over plain HTTP. It reads the site's own listing, product, variant and review JSON endpoints.

Products include brand, title, MRP, price, discount, rating histogram, stock, shade and size variants, ingredients and images; reviews are written to a separate dataset.

nykaa.com is protected by Akamai Bot Manager, which rejects any client whose TLS/HTTP-2 fingerprint is not a real browser. This Actor uses impit — Apify's Rust HTTP client that reproduces Chrome's TLS ClientHello and HTTP/2 fingerprint — and reads the same public JSON endpoints the site's own frontend calls. No browser, no DOM scraping, no cookies.

Purpose	Endpoint
Listing / search	GET /gludo/products/list?search=<q> or ?category_id=<id> (paginated)
Product detail	GET /<slug>/p/<id> → window.__PRELOADED_STATE__ → .productPage.product
Variants (fallback)	GET /gludo/listVariants?id=<parentId>
Reviews	GET /gateway-api/products/<id>/reviews?pageNo=<n>&filters=DEFAULT&domain=nykaa

Notes:

• The listing endpoint returns ~20 products per page plus total_found, so pagination is exact.
• Nykaa maps some search terms to a category instead of returning products; the Actor detects this and transparently re-issues the request as a category listing.
• A single product-page request returns the full product state — including every shade/size variant with its own price, discount and stock — so one request yields the whole product.

Input Parameters

Field	Type	Required	Default	Notes
searchQueries	string[]	No	—	Search terms to look up on Nykaa, e.g. ["lipstick", "cerave face wash"]. Each query returns matching products.

Integrations & Automation

Runs on the Apify platform, so every run gets a REST API, scheduled runs, webhooks and one-click integrations with Google Sheets, Make, Zapier, n8n and cloud warehouses (BigQuery, Snowflake, S3).

Recommended cadences:

• Daily — price, MRP and stock snapshot per SKU for price monitoring and MAP compliance.
• Weekly — category and brand sweeps for assortment, share-of-shelf and ingredient trend tracking.
• Hourly during sale events (Pink Friday, Hot Pink Sale, Beauty Bonanza) — beauty discounts can swing 20–50% within a single day, so tighter polling catches flash cycles.

Pair a daily run with a stored SKU key to turn each snapshot into a dated price series and alert on price drops.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why use this Actor instead of the official Nykaa API?

Nykaa does not publish a public, documented developer API. Its product, listing and review data is served through internal endpoints used by its own website and apps. This Actor reads those same public endpoints and returns them as clean, structured JSON — without you maintaining a scraper, rotating proxies or handling Akamai bot protection.

Does Nykaa have a public API?

No. There is no official public Nykaa API for products, prices or reviews. Businesses that need Nykaa data either scrape it (this Actor) or use a third-party wrapper service that does the same thing behind a paid endpoint.

What are alternatives to this Actor for Nykaa data?

Third-party paid APIs resell Nykaa access — for example ReefAPI, Anysite, Anakin.io, Real Data API, ScrapeIt, Parse.bot and BeautyFeeds — and pre-built datasets exist on marketplaces like Crawl Feeds and Actowiz. On Apify, alternatives include thirdwatch/nykaa-scraper, stealth_mode/nykaa-reviews-scraper and piotrv1001/nykaa-listings-scraper. This Actor gives you product detail and reviews in one run with a single, transparent per-result price.

How can I get Nykaa product prices and details?

Give the Actor one or more search queries, category IDs or product URLs. It returns each product's MRP, selling price, discount, rating, rating histogram, every shade/size variant with its own price and stock, plus ingredients and manufacturer data.

How do I scrape Nykaa reviews for sentiment analysis?

Set scrapeReviews to true and maxReviewsPerProduct above 0, and reviews are written to a separate reviews dataset with rating, title, text, author, date, helpful votes and a verified-buyer flag. Note that Nykaa publishes a limited, curated set of reviews per product (its "most useful", mostly verified-buyer selection) — for the true rating spread use the ratingHistogram field on the product.

How do I track Nykaa prices over time?

Run the Actor on a daily schedule and store each row keyed by sku or productId. Comparing snapshots by date turns MRP, selling price and discount into a price series, so a price drop or a sale window shows up as a dated event. Increase the cadence to hourly during named sale events.

What is the best way to build an India beauty product dataset?

Combine search queries and category sweeps, capture brand, categoryPath, ingredients and per-shade prices, and refresh weekly. The ingredient and ratingCount fields let you track trending actives (niacinamide, retinol, vitamin C, peptides) and rising SKUs across brands.

Can I get stock and price per shade, not just the parent product?

Yes. With scrapeVariants enabled (the default), every shade/size variant is returned with its own childId, price, discount, stock flag and stock quantity.

For AI Agents & LLM Apps

• Purpose: returns Nykaa (India beauty marketplace) product rows — price, MRP, discount, rating histogram, shade/size variants, stock, ingredients and metadata — to the default dataset, and optional customer reviews to a reviews dataset.
• Minimal input: { "searchQueries": ["cerave face wash"] }
• Variant inputs:
  • Search mode: { "searchQueries": ["matte lipstick"], "maxItems": 100 }
  • Category mode: { "categoryIds": ["15"], "maxItems": 100 }
  • Direct URLs: { "startUrls": [{ "url": "https://www.nykaa.com/cerave-foaming-cleanser/p/2513256" }] }
  • With reviews: add { "scrapeReviews": true, "maxReviewsPerProduct": 20 }
• Output fields (products): type, productId, parentId, brand, title, name, sku, psku, url, slug, currency, mrp, price, discountPercent, rating, ratingCount, reviewCount, qnaCount, ratingHistogram, inStock, stockQuantity, packSize, variantType, productType, shadeCount, shades, offers, description, ingredients, howToUse, images, imageUrl, categoryPath, categoryLevels, manufacturer, manufacturerAddress, countryOfOrigin, expiry, seller, source, scrapedAt
• Output fields (reviews): type, productId, reviewId, title, text, author, rating, createdOn, likeCount, isBuyer, images, source, scrapedAt
• Behaviors an agent should know:
  • At least one of searchQueries, categoryIds or startUrls is required; otherwise the run fails with an error.
  • maxItems defaults to 50 and bounds the number of products. Free accounts are additionally capped at 10 products regardless of maxItems.
  • scrapeVariants defaults to true — shade/size variants are included unless explicitly disabled.
  • scrapeReviews defaults to true but maxReviewsPerProduct defaults to 0, so no reviews are collected by default. Reviews start only when maxReviewsPerProduct > 0.
  • Reviews are stored in a separate dataset named reviews, not the default dataset.
  • Proxy is off by default (useApifyProxy: false); a direct connection works.
  • A product page request returns the whole product including all variants in one call.
• Billing: pay-per-event — ~$2.50 per 1,000 products (charged via the default-dataset synthetic event) and ~$2.50 per 1,000 reviews (the review-scraped event).
