PetFlow Product Scraper
Scrape PetFlow product data from any category or search page, up to a million items per run. Get titles, prices, brands, ratings, and availability in one flat row per product. No login or API key. Export to CSV, JSON, Excel, or XML.
PetFlow has no public API, so building a feed of pet food, treats, or supplies means copying product data by hand. This Actor reads PetFlow category and search pages directly, collects every product it finds, and returns each one as a clean row you can load into a spreadsheet or database.
| Who uses it | What they scrape PetFlow for |
|---|---|
| Pet product retailers | Monitor competitor pricing and assortment on PetFlow |
| Market researchers | Track which pet food brands and formulas PetFlow is promoting |
| Price comparison sites | Build a daily feed of PetFlow product prices and stock status |
| Dropshippers | Pull PetFlow product details to list on their own store |
What it does
This Actor collects PetFlow products from a category or search URL and returns each product as one flat row with its title, price, brand, rating, and availability.
- 🔗 Category or search input: point the Actor at any PetFlow category or search URL and it walks every product on the page.
- 🔢 Item cap: set a maximum number of products per run so a broad category does not run away from you.
- 📦 Flat rows: every product comes back as one row, ready for CSV, JSON, Excel, or XML export.
Results export to CSV, JSON, Excel, or XML, or straight from the API.
What you can do with PetFlow data

🧪 Research brand assortment.

🛒 Feed a price comparison site.

A dropshipper scrapes a PetFlow category, filters the rows for in-stock items, and imports the product details into their own storefront.

Then prompt it in plain language to run the scraper and read back the results.
Troubleshooting
Why am I getting no results?
Check that the startUrl points to a valid PetFlow category or search page and that the page is not geo-blocked or requiring a login. Try opening the URL in a private browser window to confirm products are visible.
Why did the run stop before reaching maxItems?
The Actor stops when it reaches the end of the pagination on the page. If the category has fewer products than your maxItems, the run will finish with fewer items.
Why are some product fields empty?
PetFlow sometimes omits ratings or availability on certain product cards. Empty fields mean the data was not present on the page for that product.
Why did the run fail with a timeout?
Large categories can take a while to paginate. Increase the Actor's timeout in the run settings, or lower maxItems to reduce the number of pages.
