Screwfix UK Product & Store Scraper (Unofficial)

Scrape Screwfix UK products, categories, filters, and stores with normalized output for price monitoring, product research, market research, availability, offers, and retail workflows.

This is an unofficial actor and is not affiliated with Screwfix.

Proxy behavior

Screwfix currently works with direct HTTP, so normal runs do not require paid proxy traffic or a browser. Add a UK proxy only if cloud access starts getting blocked.

Ready-to-use tasks

• Power tools category — monitor products, promotions, discounts, availability, and review signals in one live category.
• Rich product details — return descriptions, technical specifications, videos, sustainability claims, stock, pricing, and reviews for a known SKU.
• Store directory — collect branch codes and URLs for store discovery workflows.
• Store details — enrich a branch with address, coordinates, opening hours, and collection availability.

Supported operations

• probe
• categories
• stores
• store
• search_filters

Output

• Dataset: normalized products, categories, stores, or structured filter rows depending on the operation
• Key-value store OUTPUT: run summary with source, operation, success, total, errors, proxy, and monetization

Limitations

• Keyword search is best effort because the live Screwfix search component intermittently returns an upstream 500 or omits ProductListing. Category browsing is the reliable listing workflow.
• Store search is directory-based text matching (no geospatial nearest-store ranking)
• Review summary available on product detail, but individual review rows not extracted
• Category taxonomy is top-level from header navigation plus discovered filters (no full deep browse tree export)
