📋 What the Costco Scraper does

• 🔍 Keyword search. Search any Costco keyword (e.g. smart watch, dog food).
• 🏷️ Category filter. Optional category filter (electronics, appliances, furniture, etc.).
• 🔗 Direct URLs. Pass Costco product or category URLs for direct scraping.
• 💰 Pricing. Member price plus online-only price.
• ⭐ Ratings. Average rating and review count.
• 📦 Product detail. Brand, item number, specifications, description.

The scraper accepts either a search keyword + category combination OR direct Costco URLs. It walks Costco's results, fetches each product card, and pushes structured records to the dataset.

💡 Why it matters: Costco is one of the largest US retailers but its product catalog is JS-rendered and lacks bulk export. A live, structured pull beats manual scraping for price intelligence and brand monitoring.

📊 Data fields

Each record includes: brand, category, description, imageUrl, inStock, itemNumber, memberPrice, name, originalPrice, price, productId, rating, reviewCount, scrapedAt, sku, url. All 16 field names come from a real production run, so what you see here is what lands in your dataset.

⚠️ Good to Know: some Costco product details are only visible to members on the website, but basic listing data (title, price, image) is publicly accessible.
