Overstock Product Scraper
Scrape Overstock product listings from any search query, up to a million per run. Every product comes with its title, price, rating, review count, and URL. No login or API key. Export to CSV, JSON, Excel, or XML.
Overstock's catalog is huge, but there is no official API for market research or price monitoring. This reads the public search results directly, filtered by keyword, and returns each matching product in one fixed schema. Run it for a single query or batch hundreds of searches.

| Dropshippers | Find products to list in their own stores |

Troubleshooting
Why am I getting no results?
Check that your searchQuery is spelled correctly and is a term Overstock uses. Try a broader keyword like 'sofa' instead of a very specific phrase. Also verify that maxItems is at least 1.
Why are some products missing fields like rating or review count?
Overstock does not always show ratings or review counts for every product. The Actor returns empty values for missing fields. This is expected behavior.
Why does the run stop before reaching maxItems?
Overstock may not have enough results for your query. The Actor stops when there are no more pages to read. Try a more general keyword to get more products.
Why am I getting blocked or seeing CAPTCHAs?
Overstock may rate-limit aggressive scraping. Use Apify proxy with automatic rotation, increase the run timeout, or reduce the frequency of your runs.
Can I scrape Overstock product pages directly by URL?
The current input only supports search queries. To scrape specific product URLs, you would need a different Actor or a custom solution.
FAQ
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Do I need an Overstock account or API key? | No. The Actor reads public search result pages and does not require any login or credentials. |
| What data does the Actor return for each product? | Each row includes the product title, price, rating, review count, and URL. The exact fields are shown in the sample output. |
| Can I scrape an entire Overstock category? | Yes. Enter a broad keyword like 'furniture' and set maxItems high enough to cover the category. The Actor will paginate through results until it reaches the limit. |
| How many products can I collect in one run? | You can set maxItems up to 1,000,000. The actual number depends on how many results Overstock returns for your query. |
| Can I run multiple searches in one Actor run? | The input accepts one searchQuery per run. To run multiple queries, start multiple runs or use the Apify Scheduler to run the Actor repeatedly with different inputs. |
| Does the Actor handle Overstock's anti-bot measures? | The Actor uses standard HTTP requests and respects Overstock's robots.txt. If you encounter blocks, consider using Apify proxies or increasing the delay between requests. |
| What export formats are supported? | You can export the results as CSV, JSON, Excel, or XML from the Apify dataset. |
| Can I filter products by price or rating? | The Actor does not have built-in filters beyond the search query and maxItems. You can filter the exported data in your own code or spreadsheet. |
| Is this Actor affiliated with Overstock? | No. This is an independent scraper built by the Apify community. It is not endorsed by or affiliated with Overstock.com, Inc. |
| How often is the Actor updated? | The Actor is maintained by its author. Check the Actor's changelog on Apify for update history. |
