WooCommerce Scraper – Products & Price Change Monitor

Scrape every product from any WooCommerce store through its public Store API, the same JSON feed the shop's own cart and product blocks use. For each product you get the name, SKU, price, regular and sale price, currency, stock status (with the quantity when the shop shows it), categories, tags, brands, attributes, variations, images, rating and description. Switch to monitor mode and each run returns only what changed: price drops and rises, back in stock, out of stock, and new or removed products. Schedule it and you have a competitor price tracker.

• $0.30 per 1,000 products, about 3× cheaper than the most-used WooCommerce scraper on the Store. Non-WooCommerce sites, blocked stores and errors are free.
• Monitor mode: pay only for changes. Each change costs $0.001, and unchanged products cost nothing. The first run saves a free baseline.
• Many stores per run. Pass domains, shop URLs or category URLs (/product-category/shoes/). Stores are processed in parallel.
• Clean, flat rows. Prices are already converted from minor units, and discountPct, minPrice/maxPrice for variable products, stockQuantity and a store summary row are added.
• Polite and cheap. Plain JSON requests with no browser, about 1 request per second per store. robots.txt (Disallow, Crawl-delay) is respected and an honest User-Agent is sent.

What can I use it for?

• Competitor price monitoring: get alerts when a competitor's WooCommerce shop cuts a price or starts a sale.
• Stock and restock tracking: see what sold out, what is back, and stock levels when the shop shows them.
• Catalogue export and migration: export a full product list with SKUs, categories and images, for example when moving from WooCommerce to Shopify.
• Market research: compare price ranges, discount depth, categories and brands across many shops.
• Dropshipping and product research: find best-rated products and the newest launches.
• AI agents: a "what does this shop sell, and at what price?" tool (see below).

Output

Rows have a type: product, summary, change, baseline or error (free). The Output tab has three tables: Products, Changes and Store summaries.

Change row (monitor mode, from a test run with an edited snapshot):

{"type": "change", "changeType": "PRICE_DOWN", "store": "mercantile.wordpress.org", "productId": 34475,
 "name": "WordPress Golf Ball Set – 2 Pack", "oldPrice": 890.0, "newPrice": 885.0, "priceDiff": -5.0,
 "priceDiffPct": -0.56, "oldInStock": true, "newInStock": true, "currency": "TRY",
 "url": "https://mercantile.wordpress.org/product/wordpress-golf-ball-set-2-pack/", "detectedAt": "2026-10-05T12:31:02+00:00"}

Change types are PRICE_DOWN, PRICE_UP, BACK_IN_STOCK, OUT_OF_STOCK, NEW_PRODUCT and REMOVED. REMOVED is reported only when the whole catalogue was read without filters, so a product limit never causes false alerts. Changes that do not fit your Maximum cost per run are kept and reported on the next run.

Error codes (free rows): NOT_WOOCOMMERCE, API_DISABLED, ROBOTS_DISALLOWED, BLOCKED, RATE_LIMITED, INVALID_URL. A per-store report is saved as SUMMARY in the run's key-value store.

FAQ

Which stores work? Stores on WooCommerce 4.x or newer have the Store API (/wp-json/wc/store/v1/products) switched on by default. Some shops block it with a security plugin or firewall (BLOCKED, API_DISABLED), and some disallow /wp-json/ in robots.txt, which we respect (ROBOTS_DISALLOWED). Those rows are free.

Why is the currency different from what I see in my browser? Shops with a currency switcher or geolocation return prices in the currency for the visitor's location (Apify servers are mostly in the US). currency always tells you which one you got.

Are variation prices included? Variable products come with minPrice and maxPrice across all variations, plus the variation IDs and their attributes (size, colour…). Prices for each separate variation are not part of the public list API.

Is stock quantity always available? Only when the shop shows it ("12 in stock"). Otherwise you get inStock true or false.

Is this legal? The Actor reads the public product feed that the shop itself serves to every visitor's browser. It contains product data and no personal data. It never touches cart, checkout or account endpoints, it honours robots.txt and Crawl-delay, and it rate-limits itself. Check that your use complies with the laws and terms that apply to you. Store owners can opt out via robots.txt or by emailing iletisim.ortalamabiri@gmail.com.
