Harvest Edge makes business information available to everyone!

Overview

The Dutch Supermarkets Scraper extracts product data from 11 major Dutch supermarket chains: Albert Heijn, Jumbo, Dirk, SPAR, Hoogvliet, Aldi, Lidl, Vomar, Poiesz, Plus and DekaMarkt.

It searches for user-defined keyterms and collects detailed product information including name, price, unit price, unit size, discounts and product URLs – perfect for price comparison, market monitoring or competitive analysis.

The scraper uses a combination of requests, BeautifulSoup and Playwright (for JavaScript-heavy sites) and implements responsible scraping with configurable delays.
