WooCommerce Product & Price Scraper | Stock Monitor

Scrape product catalogs from any WooCommerce store over the public Store API — prices, sale status, stock, SKUs, categories, images, and variations. Multi-store batch in one run, plus an optional monitor mode that emits only price/stock changes for scheduled competitor tracking. No browser, no login, no API keys.

Features

• HTTP-only Store API — reads /wp-json/wc/store/v1/products (fast, cheap, low block risk)
• Variations — expand variable products into one row per variation (toggleable)
• Sale / stock filters — keep only on-sale or in-stock items
• Multi-store batch — scrape many competitor stores in a single run
• Monitor mode — named snapshots; emit only changed (or new) products on later runs
• Charge-limit safety — respects per-run spending caps; failed stores are not charged

Input

Field	Type	Required	Default	Description
storeUrls	array	Yes	—	WooCommerce store home URLs
maxProductsPerStore	integer	No	500	Cap per store (1–5,000)
includeVariations	boolean	No	true	Expand variable products into variation rows
onSaleOnly	boolean	No	false	Only products currently on sale
inStockOnly	boolean	No	false	Skip out-of-stock products
onlyChangedSinceLastRun	boolean	No	false	Monitor mode: emit diffs only
monitorName	string	No	default	Snapshot namespace for separate watchlists
timeoutSeconds	integer	No	30	Per-request timeout

Input example

{
  "storeUrls": [
    "https://yoast.com"
  ],
  "maxProductsPerStore": 100,
  "includeVariations": true,
  "onSaleOnly": false,
  "inStockOnly": false,
  "onlyChangedSinceLastRun": false
}

Monitor mode example

{
  "storeUrls": ["https://yoast.com"],
  "onlyChangedSinceLastRun": true,
  "monitorName": "comp-set-a",
  "maxProductsPerStore": 500
}

First run stores a baseline (no change rows). Later runs emit rows with a changed array (price, sale_price, stock_status, on_sale, or new).

Output

One dataset row per product (or variation). Key fields:

• store, product_id, parent_id, sku, name, permalink
• price, regular_price, sale_price, currency, on_sale
• stock_status (instock / outofstock / onbackorder / unknown)
• average_rating, review_count, categories, images, product_type
• Monitor-only: changed, is_new

Output example

{
  "store": "yoast.com",
  "product_id": 4039537,
  "parent_id": null,
  "sku": null,
  "name": "Yoast SEO",
  "permalink": "https://yoast.com/product/yoast-seo-wordpress/",
  "price": "99.00",
  "regular_price": "99.00",
  "sale_price": "99.00",
  "currency": "EUR",
  "on_sale": false,
  "stock_status": "instock",
  "average_rating": "0",
  "review_count": 0,
  "categories": ["Plugins"],
  "images": ["https://yoast.com/app/uploads/…/icon.svg"],
  "product_type": "simple",
  "scraped_at": "2026-10-19T01:00:00.000Z"
}

Pricing (PPE)

Event	Cost
Actor start	$0.001
Product scraped (full catalog mode)	$0.001 / row
Change record (monitor mode)	$0.002 / changed or new row

Typical run: 1,000 products ≈ $1.00 + $0.001 start.

Stores that disable or block the Store API are skipped and not charged for products (an error row may still appear in the dataset for debugging).

Limitations

• Works only when the store exposes the public WooCommerce Store API. Some hosts disable REST endpoints or bot-block datacenter IPs.
• Inventory quantities are not always present in the Store API; availability is stock status only.
• Variation expansion adds extra API requests for variable products.

Use cases

• Competitor price and stock monitoring on a schedule
• Agency catalog dumps for Woo-heavy niches
• Dropship / brand audits across multiple stores
• Agent and MCP pipelines that need clean ecommerce JSON
