Waitrose UK Product Scraper (Unofficial)

Scrape Waitrose UK product search, categories, pricing, offers, and normalized item data. Use this Waitrose UK scraper for price monitoring, retail research, assortment tracking, and ecommerce data workflows.

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

Proxy behavior

Normal bounded runs use direct HTTP. A UK proxy is an optional fallback only if Waitrose starts blocking a particular network or run; no browser is required for the verified search and item paths.

Supported operations

• categories
• search_filters
• search
• category (best effort; some navigation pages currently expose filters but no product rows)
• item
