Tips for scraping Google Shopping
Here's a tip for scraping Google Shopping. If you want to filter your search by product details (price range, color, model, etc), head over to the Google Shopping website in a separate browser window, type your keyboard into the search bar, and toggle with the filters. Once you are done, copy the web page's URL, and paste it into the scraper's input field!
Google Shopping Scraper Input example
{ "queries": [ "iPhone" ], "maxItems":80, "countryCode": "us", "includeComparisonPrices":true "startUrls":[ "https://www.google.com/search?q=android&source=lnms&tbm=shop&tbs=vw:l" ], "proxy":{ "useApifyProxy":true, "apifyProxyGroups":[ "GOOGLE_SERP" ] } }
During the Run
During the run, the actor will output messages letting you know what is going on. Each message always contains a short label specifying which page from the provided list is currently specified. When items are loaded from the page, you should see a message about this event with a loaded item count and total item count for each page.
If you provide incorrect input to the actor, it will immediately stop with failure state and output an explanation of what is wrong.
Google Shopping Export
During the run, the actor stores results into a dataset. Each item is a separate item in the dataset.
You can manage the results in any languague (Python, PHP, Node JS/NPM). See the FAQ or our API reference to learn more about getting results from this Google Shopping actor.
