Supported Sites

Storefront	Domain	Category listings	Product details	Customer reviews

Features

• Category scraping — collect products from John Lewis category and filtered listing URLs, following pagination automatically.
• Product details — collect descriptions, specifications, images, barcodes, and energy information where available.

• Product variants — retain the returned colour variants, SKU IDs, prices, images, and variant specifications.
• Customer reviews — collect the newest reviews with ratings, text, reviewer details, and source-provided replies or comments with author details.
• Readable specifications — product and variant attributes are key-value objects; multiple values are joined with commas.
• Consistent results — listing and detail records use the same field names, with one row per unique product model.
• Pay-per-event pricing — charge for saved product results, with configurable product and review limits.

Input

Field	Type	Default	Description
startUrls	array	Required	Non-empty list of John Lewis category or product URLs, normally as objects containing url.
scrapeProductDetails	boolean	true	Fetch product pages for full descriptions, variants, and specifications. Set to false for faster listing-only results.
maxProducts	integer	4	Maximum unique product models across all start URLs. Range: 1–10,000. Variants do not count as separate products.
maxReviews	integer	0	Maximum newest reviews per product. Range: 0–1,000. 0 disables review requests; reviews can be collected in either scraping mode.

Example Start URLs

URL type	Example
Category	https://www.johnlewis.com/browse/electricals/kettles/_/N-aht
Filtered category	https://www.johnlewis.com/browse/electricals/kettles/cordless/_/N-ahtZlmug?fi=c
Product	https://www.johnlewis.com/smeg-klf03-electric-kettle-1-7l/p3310302
Specific colour	https://www.johnlewis.com/smeg-klf03-electric-kettle-1-7l/black/p3310302

Use a specific colour URL to request that variant. Category scraping uses the listing's default variant where available. Start with category or product URLs; whole-site discovery from the homepage is not supported.

Output Fields

Each dataset row represents one unique product model identified by productId. Top-level SKU fields describe the selected variant; variants contains the returned variants for that model. Fields are included when available from the source.

Data	Fields	Description
Product identity	productId, skuId, variantId, displayCode, name, brand, link	Product model, selected SKU, and product URL.
Pricing	price, minPrice, maxPrice, rrp, currency	Selected price and source-provided ranges or reference prices. Equal minimum and maximum prices are omitted when redundant.
Availability	availableToOrder, inStock, colour	Online ordering signals and selected colour; not physical inventory counts.
Images	imageUrl, images	Main image and additional source images.
Catalogue	description, productType, category, categoryUrls, breadcrumbs	Product content and category context.
Specifications	attributes, barcodes, energyRating, energyLabel, energyInformationSheet	Readable specifications, identifiers, and energy documents when present.
Variants	variants	Returned SKU variants with their own prices, colours, availability, images, and attributes.
Ratings and reviews	averageRating, reviewCount, reviewSummary, reviews	Source ratings and optionally collected review items.
Market and provenance	market, locale, sourceLanguage, retrievedAt, dataSource	Storefront, retrieval timestamp, and categoryListing or productDetail source.

Product and variant attributes use display names as keys, falling back to source keys. For example, "Filter feature": "Removable, Washable". Attribute help text is omitted. Variant-specific values stay with their variant.

When enabled, reviews.items includes review IDs, ratings, titles, text, dates, reviewer usernames and locations, verification tags, helpfulness feedback, media, and other details returned by the API. Replies or comments retain their nested author information when provided. Missing reviewer or reply details are not invented. Reviews belong to the product model and may discuss a different colour from the selected SKU.

Example Output: Smeg KLF03 Kettle

This is a shortened excerpt of a saved kettle result, showing the selected black SKU, one variant, and one review. Other fields, variants, and reviews have been omitted for readability. Prices and availability reflect that saved result and can change. This example's reviews did not contain replies.

Pricing

Event	Event name	Price
product-detail	product-detail	$5.00 / 1,000
product-listing	product-listing	$2.00 / 1,000
review	review	$0.50 / 1,000

Each product is charged once according to the data source: if the Actor scrapes that product's detail page, it is charged at the product-detail rate. If it only collects the product from a listing page without scraping the detail page, it is charged at the product-listing rate. When reviews are collected, the review event is charged with a quantity equal to the number of review items saved. For example, saving five reviews charges five review events.

AI Agents and Integrations

Use the Apify MCP server to let compatible AI agents discover and run Actors and access their results. Supply explicit category or product URLs, choose a product limit, and enable reviews only when needed. The structured output supports product comparisons, specification extraction, price research, and review analysis.

Example task for an AI agent: “Collect two cordless kettles from this John Lewis category, include five reviews per product, and compare their prices, capacities, and customer feedback.”

Scope and Limitations

• UK storefront only; no store or delivery postcode is selected.
• Listing-only mode omits detail fields that require a product page.
• Online availability is not a stock quantity or postcode-specific delivery promise.
• Requests use UK Apify Residential Proxy with a 20-second timeout and at most two attempts per URL, including blocked-session rotations. At most two requests run concurrently. The crawl stops if an initial URL fails before any products are saved, or after three consecutive exhausted requests, to limit proxy costs. Persistent blocks or source outages can still prevent results.
