Rent the Runway Scraper

Scrape Rent the Runway (renttherunway.com) — the largest designer clothing rental platform in the US. Browse any category or search by keyword, and get item name, designer, rental price, retail price, category, occasion tags, available sizes, rating, image, and detail URL. HTTP-only, no login, no proxy required to browse.

What this actor does

• Two modes: category (browse one category at a time — dresses, tops, accessories, and 14 more) and search (query across all categories at once)
• search mode works two ways: a free-text keyword (searchQuery), and/or any combination of designer/occasion/color/embellishment/neckline/stylePersona with no keyword at all — e.g. "every Reformation item site-wide" or "every wedding-guest item site-wide," not limited to one category. Leave everything blank to browse the full cross-category catalog.
• Filters: designer (curated top-40 list or any custom name), occasion, color, embellishment, neckline, style, size, rental price range, minimum rating
• Sort: relevance, rental price low/high, rating
• Both price points: rental price and full retail price, so you can compare rent-vs-buy value
• Empty fields are omitted — every field on every record is real, populated data

FAQ

Is this affiliated with Rent the Runway? No — this is an independent, third-party actor that reads Rent the Runway's public product pages. It is not affiliated with or endorsed by Rent the Runway.

Do I need a login or subscription to get this data? No. Browsing, search, and product detail pages are all publicly accessible without an account.

What does rating mean? Rent the Runway rates items on a 0–10 scale based on customer reviews, not the usual 0–5 star scale.

Why do some items have no buyPrice? buyPrice only appears when an item can be purchased at a price below its listed retail value (e.g. pre-owned or clearance pricing). Otherwise only retailPrice is shown.

Can I filter by a designer that isn't in the dropdown? Yes — set customDesigner to any designer name; it overrides the curated designer dropdown.

How fresh is the data? Every run scrapes live pages at request time, so prices, availability, and ratings are current as of the run.
