🧾 What This Zepto Scraper Does

You provide:

• One or more delivery locations (just like users selecting locations in the Zepto app)
• One or multiple search keywords
• The desired number of products per search

The scraper:

1. Resolves each location on Zepto to obtain delivery metadata and ETA.
2. Locks the delivery location for that session (just like a real user).
3. Runs searches for every keyword at each location.
4. Extracts location-based prices, availability, product details, and delivery ETA.

🧠 Delivery ETA is resolved once per location and reused across all products for that location, mimicking how a real Zepto session behaves.

📦 What Data You Can Extract

Each product result includes:

• 🏷 Product Info: Name, brand, SKU, description, variant, UOM, pack size

• 💸 Pricing: MRP, selling price, discount %, membership price, offer text

• 📂 Categorization: Main category, subcategory, store product ID

• 🏬 Store + Stock: Store IDs, deliverability, out-of-stock flag, quantity limits

• ⭐ Ratings: Average rating, review count

• 🖼 Images: Source links with variants

• 🚚 Delivery ETA: Minutes to deliver and store-level ETA breakdown

• 🧠 Metadata: Ranking parameters, product flags, promotion types, sponsored indicators

• ⏱️ Timestamp: Exact scrape time

Metadata fields are stored as-is. If you don’t need them, ignore them — if you work with rankings or algorithm insights, they may be valuable

---

⚠️ Limits & Notes

• Location determines product availability and pricing. Different city, different results.

• If proxies are used, Zepto may occasionally throttle, built-in retries handle this automatically.

• If you’re on a free Apify plan, the scraper auto-limits search terms and product count.

⚙️ Troubleshooting & Tips

🧪 Situation	What It Means	How to Fix
❌ No ETA found	The selected address isn't serviceable	Try another nearby address or PIN code
⏳ Slow first request	The scraper is initiating a fresh session and generating signatures	Expected — this happens only once per run
⚠️ Few product results	Zepto returned limited matches for the search keyword	Try a broader query (e.g., "biscuits" instead of "oreo")
🔁 Retrying session	The current session was blocked, rate-limited, or expired	Automatically handled via proxy rotation and retries
