WooCommerce Scraper

Extract products, categories, tags, attributes, and reviews from any WooCommerce-powered online store. Get structured product data including prices, images, stock status, ratings, and more.

What can this scraper do?

• Scrape product data from any WooCommerce store — names, prices, descriptions, images, SKUs, stock status, ratings, and reviews
• Extract categories, tags, and attributes to map the store's product catalog structure
• Collect customer reviews with ratings, reviewer names, and verification status
• Handle multiple stores in a single run — scrape products from several WooCommerce stores at once
• Search and filter products by keyword and sort by date, price, popularity, rating, or title
• Automatic fallback — uses the WooCommerce Store API when available, with HTML scraping as a backup for maximum compatibility

Supported stores

This scraper works with any online store powered by WooCommerce, including stores using:

• Default WooCommerce themes (Storefront, etc.)
• Custom themes built on WooCommerce
• Page builders (Elementor, Divi, etc.) with WooCommerce integration
• WooCommerce with multi-currency plugins

Tips for best results

• Start small: Set maxProductsPerStore to 10-20 for your first run to test compatibility with the target store
• Use the Store API path: Most WooCommerce stores have the public Store API enabled by default. The scraper automatically detects and uses it — no configuration needed
• Proxy is optional: The API path usually works without proxies. Only enable a proxy if the store blocks direct requests
• Multiple resource types: Scrape products, categories, tags, and attributes in a single run to build a complete catalog picture
• Search feature: Use searchQuery to find specific products instead of scraping the entire catalog

Limitations

• Reviews: Some stores restrict the WordPress comments API (used for reviews). If reviews return empty, the store has this endpoint locked down
• HTML fallback: When the Store API is unavailable, the HTML scraper provides fewer data fields. Some fields like sku and detailed attributes may be limited
• Private stores: Stores behind login walls or password protection cannot be scraped
• Custom endpoints: Stores with heavily customized REST API routes may need manual URL adjustment

FAQ

Does this scraper work with all WooCommerce stores? Yes, it works with any publicly accessible WooCommerce store. It automatically detects the best scraping method (API or HTML) for each store.

Do I need a proxy? Usually no. The WooCommerce Store API is a public endpoint designed for storefront use, so most stores allow direct access. Enable a proxy only if you experience blocking.

How many products can I scrape? Set maxProductsPerStore to 0 to scrape up to 10,000 products per store. For larger catalogs, consider running multiple times with different search queries.

Can I scrape product variations? The scraper reports the number of variations (variationCount) and the available attributes. Individual variation details (specific prices, SKUs per variant) are included in the attributes field.

What currencies are supported? All currencies supported by WooCommerce are handled automatically. The currency field contains the ISO 4217 code (e.g., USD, EUR, GBP, AED) and currencySymbol contains the display symbol.

How do I scrape only specific categories? Use the searchQuery field to filter products by keyword. For category-specific scraping, you can combine search terms that match the category names.

What happens if a store URL is invalid? Invalid URLs are handled gracefully — the scraper logs a warning and continues to the next store. It will not crash or fail the entire run.

Can I export the data? Yes, results can be exported as JSON, CSV, Excel, or XML directly from the Apify platform.

How often is the data updated? Each run extracts fresh data. You can schedule recurring runs on Apify to keep your data current.

Is there a limit on the number of stores per run? There is no hard limit. You can scrape multiple stores in a single run by adding them to the storeUrls array.
