Walmart Product & Price Scraper

---

🎯 What this scrapes

Walmart runs no public product-data API. This Actor looks up products three ways — search term, direct product URL, or Walmart item ID — and returns one clean schema across all three: current + was price, stock status, rating, and an explicit seller_type field (Walmart-fulfilled vs third-party marketplace) that most Walmart scrapers leave out. Built on curl-cffi with browser TLS impersonation.

🔥 What we handle for you

• 🛡️ Browser fingerprint rotation — curl-cffi impersonates real Chrome / Firefox / Safari TLS handshakes so the target sees a browser, not Python.
• 🌐 Residential proxy rotation via Apify Proxy — fresh session and exit IP on every block.
• 🔁 Retries with exponential backoff on 408 / 429 / 5xx — up to 5 attempts per page, Retry-After honoured.
• 🧱 Rate-limit-aware pacing — when the target pushes back, we slow down instead of getting banned.
• 🧊 Clean, typed dataset rows — Pydantic-validated, ISO-8601 timestamps, stable IDs, JSON / CSV / Excel export straight from the Apify Console.
• 💰 Pay-Per-Event pricing — you only pay for results that hit your dataset. No data, no charge.

💡 Use cases

• Reseller/arbitrage margin checks — pull current price + stock across a candidate SKU list before buying to resell.
• Retail price intelligence — track price and "was" price movement across a competitor catalog by search term or item ID.
• Marketplace-vs-Walmart mix analysis — use seller_type to see which listings are Walmart-fulfilled vs third-party, at scale.
• Stock/availability monitoring — schedule re-runs and diff in_stock / availability_status for restock alerts.
• Catalog enrichment — resolve a list of Walmart item IDs into title, brand, rating, and image in one call.

🚧 Limitations

US walmart.com storefront only — no Canada, Mexico, or the Marketplace seller console. Review text isn't included, only rating_average/rating_count. No historical price time-series — only the current-vs-was pair present at scrape time. Anonymous public pricing only, not Walmart+ member pricing. Variant/option fan-out is limited to the variant resolved on the given input.

❓ FAQ

Does this cover Walmart Canada or Mexico?

No — walmart.com (US storefront) only. See Limitations.

Does it return historical price history?

No — Walmart's page data exposes at most one current-vs-was price pair per scrape. Run this Actor on a schedule and diff the rows yourself for a time series.

What's the difference between price_current and price_was?

price_current is the live listed price. price_was is the strike-through/list price, only populated when Walmart's page actually shows one — it is never fabricated or copied from price_current.

How does seller_type work?

walmart means sold and shipped by Walmart.com; marketplace means a third-party seller fulfills the order. Useful for filtering out marketplace mark-ups.

Can I mix search terms, URLs, and item IDs in one run?

Yes — provide any combination of the three input fields. Rows are de-duplicated by item_id across all three modes so you're never charged twice for the same product.
