This Target scraper turns public Target search, category, and product pages into a structured Apify dataset. Each row includes current price, regular price, unit price, rating, review count, brand, TCIN, DPCI, and the primary image. Use it as a Target API alternative from Python, Node.js, or an MCP assistant.

FAQ

How do I scrape Target with Python or Node.js?
Call crawloop/target-scraper with the examples above. Pass searchQueries or startUrls. Export the dataset as JSON or CSV from the run.

Does this include review text?
No. Each row includes star rating and review count only.

Are error rows billed?
No. Rows with error set are not billed as products.

Why a US residential proxy?
Target's catalog API blocks datacenter IPs. The default is a US residential proxy so prices match the ZIP you set.

Can I pin a store?
Yes. Set storeId to a Target store number. Prices in the row use that store together with zipCode.
