BestBuy Listings Extractor

Extract product listings, prices, ratings, and reviews from Best Buy search results at scale. Enter one or more keywords, brands, or product categories and get back structured JSON data for every matching listing — including current price, list price, discount, star rating, review count, image URL, and a direct product link.

Runs multiple search queries in a single go. Each query paginates automatically until your per-query item limit is reached.

• Captures star rating and total review count per product
• Returns product URL, image URL, and Best Buy SKU ID
• Handles pagination automatically across all queries
• Carrier-only or out-of-stock items return null price fields gracefully

Pagination

Each Best Buy search page returns up to 24 products. The actor pages through results automatically for each query until it reaches maxItemsPerQuery or runs out of listings.

Set maxItemsPerQuery: 10 to get a quick sample. Set maxItemsPerQuery: 500 for a full category sweep.

---

Tips

• Use brand names (Samsung, Apple, Sony) for broad product discovery across a brand
• Use model-level terms (Samsung QN90D 65 inch) to target specific products
• Add multiple queries to compare pricing across competing brands in one run
• Products sold only on carrier contracts may return null for price fields — this is expected
• Schedule the actor on a daily cron to build a price history dataset over time
