How it works

1. Search mode: Queries Decanter's wine review search to find matching wines by name, region, producer, or grape variety.
2. Sitemap discovery: For large-scale scraping or when more results are needed, the scraper uses Decanter's sitemap to discover wine review URLs by month (from 2016 to present).
3. Detail extraction: Visits each wine's detail page and extracts structured data from Next.js server-rendered JSON (__NEXT_DATA__), ensuring complete and accurate data without relying on fragile CSS selectors.

Input parameters

Parameter	Type	Default	Description
searchQueries	string[]	["Bordeaux"]	Wine search terms. Each query matches wine names, regions, producers, and grape varieties.
maxListings	integer	100	Maximum number of wine reviews to scrape. Set to 0 for unlimited.
scrapeDetails	boolean	true	Visit each wine's page for full tasting notes, scores, and details. If false, returns basic listing data only.
proxyConfiguration	object	{}	Proxy settings. Recommended for large-scale runs.
