Input

To start Costco web scraping, simply fill in the input form. You can scrape Costco based on:

• startUrls - Use direct product URLs (e.g., https://www.costco.com/product.123456.html) or category pages. Add filters on Costco's website, then copy the URL here.
• maxItems - Set the maximum number of products to collect. Free users: Limited to 100. Paid users: Optional, max 1,000,000
• searchQuery - Enter a search term to find products (e.g., "smart watch", "laptop", "refrigerator"). Use this OR startUrls, not both.
• category - Optional category filter to narrow down results

Here's what the input configuration looks like in JSON:

{
    "maxItems": 10,
    "startUrls": ["https://www.costco.com/product.123456.html"]
}

Or using search:

{
    "maxItems": 50,
    "searchQuery": "smart watch",
    "category": "electronics"
}

Pro Tip: Use Costco's search filters to target specific product categories for more focused results.
