• Retail competitive intelligence — product ranges, ratings and variant counts

Data source and limitations

• Data source: Dunelm's public website (dunelm.com). The actor reads the structured product JSON that Dunelm embeds in every page (the same data their own app renders), so prices, ratings and descriptions match the site exactly.
• Currency: all prices are in GBP (£) — Dunelm is a UK retailer.
• Category depth: browseByCategory returns the first page of a category (60 products, the full relevance ranking). Dunelm's deeper category pagination is loaded client-side only; use search mode with a keyword for full multi-page walks. search mode paginates fully (page up to the last page).
• Anti-bot: Dunelm may occasionally throttle bursts of requests by serving a page without the embedded product data. The actor detects this and retries automatically. If you scrape very heavily, enable proxyConfiguration.
• Variant pages: byUrl sometimes receives Dunelm's lighter page variant — the actor re-fetches once to try to get the full detail (dimensions, materials, care). On the lighter variant, the record still contains price, rating, description, categories and images.
• Not affiliated: this actor is a third-party tool and is not affiliated with or endorsed by Dunelm.

FAQ

Do I need a Dunelm account or cookies? No. Dunelm's public website serves the product data embedded in the HTML; no login is needed.

Why are some prices shown as a range? Multi-variant products (e.g. a sofa in several colours) have a priceMin/priceMax range. price is the first variant's current price.

What is wasPrice? Dunelm's reference price for the "was/now" display. wasPriceMin/wasPriceMax are the reference range for multi-variant products. Only present when Dunelm shows a was-price.

Why are some fields missing on my records? All fields are omitted when the product doesn't have them (no sentinel values). For example wasPrice only appears for discounted items, dimensions only in byUrl mode, and careInstructions only when Dunelm publishes them.

Do image URLs work outside the browser? Yes — images are served from images.dunelm.com and open directly without cookies or referer headers.

Can I scrape every product on Dunelm? You can walk full search results (paginated) and browse category first pages. For a complete site-wide crawl, run search mode with broad keywords plus browseByCategory for each of the 19 categories and merge the datasets.

Is this affiliated with Dunelm? No — this is a third-party actor using Dunelm's public website.
