Target.com Product Scraper

Search target.com or paste a Target link and get one row per product: TCIN, title, brand, today's price and any markdown, promotions, star rating and review count, whether it ships, whether a nearby store has it for pickup, the images and the link.

A postcode sets the pickup store, but on every test run checked the price still came from Target's online store (pricedAtStoreId 3991). And any one search or category stops at 1,227 products, which is Target's own limit.

Input	Search terms, or Target search, category, brand or product links
Output	One row per product: price and markdown, promotions, rating, review count, shipping and pickup stock, images, link
Ceiling	2,000 products per run, and 1,227 per search or category
Account needed	None
Price	$0.78 per 1,000 products on the Free plan, a little less on paid plans. The free plan's $5 a month covers about 6,400

🔍 What Target.com Product Scraper does

Each search term is run separately and every product it returns becomes a row. Category and brand links work the same way, and pasted product links are fetched first, so a broad category can never use up maxItems before the products you named.

Target never answers a search with "no matches". Ask for something it does not stock and it returns a page of 28 products that have nothing to do with the question. So the first page of every keyword search is checked against the words you typed, and if almost none of the titles mention them, you get one free NO_MATCH note instead of 28 charges. The check was tuned on 66 real shopping terms, none of which it rejected, including "bed sheets", where every product is titled "Sheet Set". It is loose in the other direction on purpose: dropping a real result is worse than letting a weak one through. Category and brand links skip the check.

Without a postcode you get Target's online view: shipping status, sold-out flags, delivery status and a ship-by date, with the pickup fields left null. Add a postcode and the nearest store's pickup status, name and unit count fill in. Three hundred products took 18 seconds on a test run.

▶️ How to scrape Target products

1. Open Target.com Product Scraper and click Try for free.
2. Type what you want into Search terms, or paste pages into Target URLs.
3. Set Maximum products.
4. For pickup stock at a store, fill in US postcode (optional).
5. Click Start, then download the dataset as JSON, CSV or Excel.

The sample row appears only when a run has no search terms and no links. It is not charged.

💰 How much does it cost to scrape Target products?

$0.78 per 1,000 products on the Free plan. Paid plans pay a little less: $0.77 on Starter, $0.76 on Scale and $0.75 on Business. Stock and full detail cost nothing extra. On the free plan, the $5 Apify gives you each month covers about 6,400 products.

Not charged: the sample row, every note listed further down, the unrelated products behind a NO_MATCH, and a product that turns up under two searches, which is delivered once. If you set a maximum cost for the run, it stops there and says so in its status.

📥 What you give it

{
  "searchTerms": ["air fryer"],
  "zipCode": "55403",
  "maxItems": 12
}

Field	Default	What it is
searchTerms	none	What to look up, one per line, such as air fryer or paper towels.
startUrls	none	Target search pages, category and brand pages (/-/N-5xtg6) and product pages (/-/A-92084780), mixed freely. Product links always come back with the full description.
maxItems	50	1 to 2,000 products across everything above. You pay per product, so this bounds the bill.
zipCode	none	A five-digit US postcode. Sets the store for pickup stock.
includeAvailability	true	Whether each product ships, is sold out and, with a postcode, is on the shelf for pickup.
includeFullDetail	false	Adds the long description, the barcode and the star-by-star review count. A large run takes noticeably longer with it on.
proxyConfiguration	none	Only for your own servers, which are used as given. Leave it alone otherwise.

A category link is a node id: in target.com/c/anything/-/N-5xtg6, the 5xtg6 is what matters.

A marked-down product from another real run, price fields only:

{
  "tcin": "94986645",
  "price": 99.99,
  "regularPrice": 99.99,
  "comparisonPrice": 159.99,
  "onSale": true,
  "savingsAmount": 60,
  "savingsPercent": 38
}

Field	How to read it
tcin	Target's product number, the digits after A- in a product link. Stable, so use it to join runs.
price, regularPrice, comparisonPrice, onSale	On a markdown, the old price is in comparisonPrice and regularPrice equals the current one. Read onSale first.
unitPrice, unitPriceSuffix	Grocery and household items, such as $0.36 and /ounce.
pricedAtStoreId	Which store the price is for. 3991 is Target's online store.
promotions	Each with message, promotionId, type, thresholdType, thresholdValue, rewardType and rewardValue.
pickupQuantity	Needs a postcode, and can be null while the status says in stock; pickupAvailability is the reliable one.
upc, description, ratingDistribution	Need full detail or a pasted product link.

🧾 Reading the output

Real product rows have no charged field. The free rows carry charged: false, so dropping those leaves only products.

Row	How to spot it	Billed
A product	A tcin and no charged field	yes
The sample	_sample: true and charged: false	no
A note	_diagnostic: true, charged: false, with an errorCode, an error and a hint	no

The sample looks like a real product row, so filter on _sample or charged rather than on the fields.

errorCode	What it means
NO_MATCH	Target stocks nothing for that term and answered with unrelated products, which were left out. The note carries a relevance score.
NO_RESULTS	Target returned no products for that term or link.
NOT_FOUND	No product behind that TCIN. They change when Target merges or retires a listing.
BAD_URL	Not a Target search, category, brand or product link.
ZIP_NOT_FOUND	No store near that postcode. The run carries on with online prices.
LIMIT_REACHED	maxItems was used up before that search or those links, so they were not fetched.
TARGET_UNREACHABLE, FAILED	Target did not answer that part of the run. Re-running usually clears it.
NOT_SERVED	This product was not served this run. Re-run it later. Until 12 October 2026 this code was called BLOCKED.
TIME_LIMIT	The run got close to its time limit and stopped on its own. The products delivered before that are complete and charged. Give the run more time, or ask for fewer products, to get the rest.

A note never fails the run, except one: when the time limit stopped the run before any product came back, the run ends as failed, with a TIME_LIMIT note saying so.

💡 What people use it for

• Watching a fixed list of products. Paste their links, schedule the run, and the rows line up on tcin from one run to the next.
• Catching markdowns across a category, using onSale and comparisonPrice.
• Checking whether one store has an item on the shelf before driving there.
• Pulling DPCI, UPC and Target's classification for a product list.

🚧 What it does not do

• No review text. The star average, the review count and, with full detail, the count at each star.
• Pickup stock for one store only, the nearest to your postcode. Checking forty stores is a different job.
• No store-level prices, as far as testing shows. pricedAtStoreId read 3991 on every row of every test run checked, with a postcode or without.
• No variants as rows. A shirt in six colours is one row, the one Target shows in the listing.
• Nothing behind a sign-in. No Circle member pricing, no order history.
• target.com only. Target Australia is a different company.
• No sponsored placements. Paid slots in the results are skipped, so this is the wrong tool for studying ads.
• Prices move. A row is what target.com showed at scrapedAt.
• It is not an official Target tool. Dami's Studio is independent and is not affiliated with or endorsed by Target, or by any other company named on this page.

❓ Questions people ask

Do I need a Target account or an API key?

No. Nothing is signed in and there is no key to get.

Can I scrape a whole Target category?

Up to 1,227 products of it, which is Target's own ceiling. For more, search the sub-categories separately.

Why did my search give a note instead of products?

Target had nothing matching and answered with unrelated items, so they were left out rather than billed. If you think that was wrong, a category or brand link fetches the products with no check.

What is a TCIN, and what is a DPCI?

The TCIN is Target's product number online and the one to join on. The DPCI is its shelf number in stores.

Why is pickupQuantity null when the item is in stock?

Target does not publish a unit count for every item. Trust pickupAvailability.

Can I call it from code or connect it to an AI assistant?

Yes. The API tab has ready-made code for Python, JavaScript and the command line. For Claude, ChatGPT or another MCP client, connect https://mcp.apify.com/?tools=fetch-actor-details,dami_studio/target-scraper. Either way the run happens on your Apify account at the same price.

Is scraping Target legal?

It reads what target.com shows anyone who is not signed in. Apify's write-up on the legality of web scraping is a good starting point, and we are not lawyers.

🆘 If something breaks

Open the Issues tab on the actor page and send the input you used and the run ID; the note rows in the dataset usually name the reason already.
