Costco Scraper

Extract product data from Costco.com — prices, member prices, descriptions, ratings, images, and availability. Paste in product detail page URLs.

What it does

Point it at Costco.com product pages and it returns structured product records: item number, title, regular price, member price, description, rating, review count, availability, images, and category breadcrumb.

Bright Data Web Unlocker handles Costco's Akamai bot protection server-side so you don't have to.

Inputs

Field	Type	Description
startUrls	array	Costco product detail page URLs (https://www.costco.com/p/-/<slug>/<itemNumber>). Category/browse URLs are accepted as a best effort.
maxItems	integer	Cap on total records (default: 100)

If startUrls is empty the actor exits with an error. Keyword search is not supported — Costco's search endpoint is not reachable through the unblocker.

Output

Each record in the dataset:

{
  "item_number": "4000140441",
  "product_url": "https://www.costco.com/p/-/kutano-commercial-1-door-merchandiser-refrigerator/4000140441",
  "title": "Kutano Commercial 1-Door Merchandiser Refrigerator",
  "price": "$1849.99",

  "rating": "4.09",
  "review_count": "",
  "availability": "",
  "images": "https://bfasset.costco-static.com/...",
  "specifications": "",

}

How it works

• Product detail URLs (/p/-/<slug>/<itemNumber>) go straight to the product handler, which parses Costco's Next.js RSC payload for the product data.
• Category/collection URLs are treated as listing pages: product links are collected from the rendered HTML and each product page is then fetched.

Bot protection is handled transparently via Bright Data Web Unlocker — no proxy configuration, no CapSolver, no Playwright.

Limitations

• Member pricing is only populated when Costco exposes it without authentication.
• Specifications table extraction depends on the page rendering consistently; some product types (electronics, tires) use non-standard markup.
• Keyword search is not supported. Provide product detail URLs directly.
• Category pages are large and slow through the unblocker, and link density varies by category — direct product URLs are the most reliable input.
