🕒 Last updated: 2026-05-29 · 📊 14 fields per record · Zalando listings · Public data

The Zalando Fashion Product Scraper turns Zalando's public product listings into a clean, structured dataset. Provide a search query, and the actor pulls product cards from the public zalando.com search endpoint and flattens each listing into one row.

📋 What the Zalando Fashion Product Scraper does

• Calls Zalando's public search endpoint with your query.
• Parses the JSON response and flattens each product into a row.
• Normalizes field names across variations (itemid → sku, shopid → shop_id, etc.).
• Stops at maxItems so you don't waste credits.
• Surfaces upstream errors as a clean error record instead of crashing.
• Exports as CSV, Excel, JSON, JSONL, XML, RSS, or HTML.

💡 Why it matters: Zalando's public search JSON is noisy and verbose. This actor normalizes everything to clean, predictable column names so the data drops straight into pandas, BigQuery, or a spreadsheet.
