FAQ

Is this a Grainger API?
No. It is an unofficial Grainger API alternative that scrapes publicly visible catalog pages into a structured dataset.

Do I need a Grainger account?
No for public list-price / catalog fields. Contract prices and account-only stock are out of scope.

Can I scrape Grainger with Python or Node.js?
Yes — use the Apify client examples above, or call the Actor from MCP / AI assistants.

Why residential proxy?
Public catalog pages are bot-protected. Sticky Apify RESIDENTIAL US (or CA) sessions are required for reliable access.

Why did my broad keyword return few products or an error?
Some broad queries redirect to a category hub. Use a more specific keyword, an item #, or a categoryUrls path.

Listing vs product records?
listing rows come from search/category pages. Enable enrichListingProducts (or pass productUrls / skus) for full PDP fields including richer specs and prices.
