Staples Store Details & Hours Scraper

Extract Staples store details, hours, services, and contact data as clean, structured JSON — no coding or CSS selectors required. Feed in a list of Staples store locator page URLs and get back one complete record per store: name, full address, phone, fax, GPS coordinates, timezone, opening hours, in-store services, accepted payment methods, and more.

What is Staples Store Details & Hours Scraper?

Staples Store Details & Hours Scraper is an Apify Actor that turns a list of Staples store page URLs into structured store data — ready to export as JSON, CSV, or Excel. It reads the store data embedded directly in each Staples locator page, so results are accurate, fast, and don't require browser automation.

This Actor is designed to run as a second step after a link-discovery Actor (such as the Staples Store Locator Scraper) that finds store page URLs for a state, city, or ZIP code. You paste those URLs in, click Start, and get back complete store profiles — address, hours, services, payment options, and geolocation — for every store link you provide.

What can Staples Store Details & Hours Scraper do?

• 🏬 Extract full store profiles — name, street address, city, state, ZIP, phone, fax, latitude/longitude, and IANA timezone for every Staples location you submit.
• 🕒 Pull structured opening hours — per-day open/close intervals, ready to parse or display.
• 🖨️ List in-store services — both a flat summary (Print Services, Tech Services, Shipping Services, Recycling Services, etc.) and a detailed breakdown with descriptions and clickthrough URLs.
• 💳 Capture accepted payment methods for each store.
• 🆔 Return internal store identifiers (store_id, business_id, uid) useful for deduplication or joining with other datasets.
• ⏱️ Timestamp every record with extraction_datetime (UTC, ISO 8601) and extraction_date (mm-dd-yyyy) so you always know when data was collected.
• 📤 Export in multiple formats — JSON, CSV, Excel, XML, or RSS, straight from the Apify Console or API.
• ⚙️ Run at scale on the Apify platform — schedule recurring runs, trigger via the Apify API or SDKs, integrate with Zapier/Make, monitor runs, and use Apify Proxy for reliable, rate-limit-friendly fetching.
• 🔁 Fault-tolerant by design — links that are blocked or fail are logged and skipped instead of failing the whole run.

How do I scrape Staples store details and hours?

1. Get a list of Staples store page URLs — for example, from the Staples Store Locator Scraper Actor, or your own list of stores.staples.com URLs.
2. Open this Actor's Input tab and paste the URLs into the links field, one per line or as a JSON array.
3. Optionally adjust maxConcurrency (default 5) to control how many stores are fetched in parallel.
4. Click Start.
5. When the run finishes, open the Output tab (or call the Apify API) to download your data as JSON, CSV, Excel, or another supported format.

Input

The input is intentionally simple — just two fields:

• Staples store URLs (links, required) — an array of Staples store page URLs to extract details from, e.g. https://stores.staples.com/al/athens/1036-highway-72-east. These typically come straight from the output of the Staples Store Locator Scraper.
• Max concurrency (maxConcurrency, optional, default 5) — how many store pages to fetch in parallel. Higher values finish faster but increase the chance of being rate-limited or blocked; a value between 5 and 10 works well for most runs.

{
    "links": [
        "https://stores.staples.com/al/athens/1036-highway-72-east",
        "https://stores.staples.com/ca/los-angeles/5410-wilshire-blvd"
    ],
    "maxConcurrency": 5
}

Free vs. paid Apify plans: how many Staples stores can I scrape?

This Actor's per-run limit depends on your Apify account plan, not on how many URLs you submit:

Plan	Links processed per run
🆓 Free Apify account	Only the first 5 unique links in your links array are processed, no matter how many you submit.
💎 Paid / premium Apify account	All links you submit are processed — no cap.

The Actor automatically detects your account's billing status at runtime. If you're on a free plan, it logs a warning and silently trims your links array down to the first 5 unique URLs before processing; everything beyond that is skipped for that run. If you're on a paid plan, the full list you provide is processed with no artificial limit.

In short: to extract details for more than 5 Staples stores in a single run, your Apify account needs to be on a paid plan. This limit exists purely to let you try the Actor risk-free on a free account — it is not related to the target website and does not affect data quality or accuracy, only the number of stores processed per run.

FAQ

Is it legal to scrape Staples store data?

This Actor only extracts publicly available store information that Staples itself publishes on its public store locator pages (stores.staples.com). It's generally accepted that scraping publicly available data is legal, but you're responsible for how you use the collected data and should review Staples' Terms of Service and applicable laws (e.g. GDPR, CCPA) if you plan to store or process personal data. Consult a legal professional if you're unsure.

How many Staples stores can I scrape per run?

It depends on your Apify plan: free accounts are limited to the first 5 links submitted per run, while paid/premium accounts can process the full list of links with no cap. See the Free vs. paid Apify plans section above for details.

Does this Actor find Staples store URLs for me?

No — this Actor extracts details from store URLs you already have. Use the companion Staples Store Locator Scraper Actor to generate the list of stores.staples.com URLs first, then feed them into this Actor.

What happens if a store link is blocked or fails?

The Actor logs the failure and skips that link, continuing with the rest of the batch. The run only fails if no link succeeds. Check the run log for per-link status (blocked vs failed).

Can I access this data via API?

Yes. Every Apify Actor run can be triggered and its results retrieved via the Apify API and official SDKs for Python and JavaScript, so you can integrate Staples store data directly into your own applications, or connect it to Zapier/Make for no-code automation.

Does this Actor use browser automation?

No — it reads structured store data embedded in the page response directly, which makes runs fast and lightweight compared to full browser-based scrapers.
