HealthWarehouse Products Scraper: Extract Product Data from HealthWarehouse Categories

This HealthWarehouse scraper collects product data from healthwarehouse.com through the public GraphQL endpoint used by the storefront. Use it to scrape product names, SKUs, prices, stock status, and product URLs by category so you can monitor catalog changes, automate price tracking, and run pharmacy market research without manual exports.

Use cases

• Price monitoring: track product price shifts in a target HealthWarehouse category over time
• Stock tracking: watch in-stock and out-of-stock changes for diabetic supplies, OTC items, or prescription-related listings
• Catalog intelligence: collect structured product metadata for competitor analysis and assortment comparisons
• Data pipelines: automate product scraping and send dataset output into BI tools or Sheets
• Market research: capture category-level snapshots for pharmacy and healthcare ecommerce analysis

How it works

1. Uses the selected category from the dropdown.
2. Runs each query in searchInputs separately, or runs once with an empty query if no search input is provided.
3. Sends GraphQL requests with pagination (endCursor, hasNextPage).
4. Applies maxItems per search query.
5. Pushes product rows to the dataset and writes an error row if one query fails.
6. If category mode fails on page 1, retries with fallback search mode.

FAQ

Can I run multiple search terms in one run?
Yes. Add multiple entries in searchInputs, one per line.

Which slug should I use for Pharmacy, Home Medical, and Pet Supplies?
Use products for pharmacy-wide browsing, home-medical for Home Medical, and personal-care for Pet Supplies fallback coverage.

Why are many category slugs missing from dropdown?
The dropdown now includes only slugs that returned valid GraphQL category results during endpoint validation. This avoids empty runs and FAILED_SEARCH_PRODUCTS errors.

Does it support proxies?
Yes. Use proxyConfiguration to select Datacenter, Residential, or your own proxy setup.

How many products can I collect?
Set maxItems up to 1000 per run to keep the actor cost-controlled and predictable.

Can I use this for SEO and product research workflows?
Yes. The output is structured for analysis, scheduling, and integration with external tools.
