# Meesho Scraper (`patel_dev_automation/meesho-scraper`) Actor Extract structured Meesho product data - title, price, original price, rating, reviews, image, and URL - from any search page. Uses a headless browser to handle Meesho's infinite scroll and bot protection. Clean JSON via API. - **URL**: https://apify.com/patel\_dev\_automation/meesho-scraper.md - **Developed by:** [Dev Patel](https://apify.com/patel_dev_automation) (community) - **Categories:** E-commerce, Lead generation - **Stats:** 2 total users, 1 monthly users, 100.0% runs succeeded, 0 bookmarks - **User rating**: No ratings yet ## Pricing from $4.00 / 1,000 results This Actor is paid per event. You are not charged for the Apify platform usage, but only a fixed price for specific events.

Actors are a software tools running on the Apify platform, for all kinds of web data extraction and automation use cases. In Batch mode, an Actor accepts a well-defined JSON input, performs an action which can take anything from a few seconds to a few hours, and optionally produces a well-defined JSON output, datasets with results, or files in key-value store. In Standby mode, an Actor provides a web server which can be used as a website, API, or an MCP server. Actors are written with capital "A". ## How to integrate an Actor? If asked about integration, you help developers integrate Actors into their projects. You adapt to their stack and deliver integrations that are safe, well-documented, and production-ready. The best way to integrate Actors is as follows. In JavaScript/TypeScript projects, use official [JavaScript/TypeScript client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js.md): ```bash npm install apify-client ``` In Python projects, use official [Python client library](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python.md): ```bash pip install apify-client ``` In shell scripts, use [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md): ````bash # MacOS / Linux curl -fsSL https://apify.com/install-cli.sh | bash # Windows irm https://apify.com/install-cli.ps1 | iex ```bash In AI frameworks, you might use the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/platform/integrations/mcp.md). If your project is in a different language, use the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md). For usage examples, see the [API](#api) section below. For more details, see Apify documentation as [Markdown index](https://docs.apify.com/llms.txt) and [Markdown full-text](https://docs.apify.com/llms-full.txt). # README ## Meesho Scraper Extract structured product data from **Meesho** search pages. Meesho is a bot-protected JavaScript app whose product data is rendered client-side, so this actor uses a **headless browser** (Playwright + Chromium) to load the real page and read the products from the rendered DOM. ### What it does Give it one or more Meesho search URLs and it returns clean JSON for every product: title, price, original price, rating, review count, image, product URL, and product ID — paginating automatically. - 🔎 Works with any Meesho **search** URL (`/search?q=...`) - 🧭 Headless-browser rendering — handles Meesho's client-side React app - 📄 Auto-pagination via `&page=N` until results run out - 🔁 Dedup by product ID across pages - 💸 Blocks images/CSS/fonts during load to keep proxy bandwidth (and cost) down ### Input | Field | Type | Description | |-------|------|-------------| | `searchUrls` | array | **Required.** Meesho search URLs. Example: `https://www.meesho.com/search?q=ghar+soaps` | | `maxItemsPerStartUrl` | integer | Hard cap on total products per URL. Default `300`. | | `proxyConfiguration` | object | **Residential proxies (country India) required** — Meesho blocks datacenter IPs and is bot-protected. Default already requests them. | #### Example input ```json { "searchUrls": [ { "url": "https://www.meesho.com/search?q=ghar+soaps" } ], "maxItemsPerStartUrl": 300, "proxyConfiguration": { "useApifyProxy": true, "apifyProxyGroups": ["RESIDENTIAL"], "apifyProxyCountry": "IN" } } ```` ### Output ```json { "productId": "5fm2ez", "title": "GHAR SOAPS Magic Soap With Saffron And Sandalwood", "productUrl": "https://www.meesho.com/ghar-soaps-magic-soap-.../p/5fm2ez", "price": 190, "originalPrice": 210, "currency": "INR", "rating": 4.1, "ratingCount": 318785, "image": "https://images.meesho.com/images/products/.../...webp", "scrapedFrom": "https://www.meesho.com/search?q=ghar+soaps" } ``` ### Notes & limitations - **Headless browser = higher cost than HTML scrapers.** Meesho can't be scraped with a plain HTTP client (its data is JS-rendered behind bot protection), so each run launches Chromium. Expect higher memory and per-run cost than the Amazon/Flipkart scrapers. Images/CSS/fonts are blocked during load to mitigate bandwidth. - **Residential proxies (India) are required.** Meesho uses Akamai-style bot detection; datacenter IPs are blocked. If runs return empty, your residential IPs are likely flagged — switch to a premium pool. - Meesho's markup can change; extraction uses structural signals (product `/p/` links, ₹-price leaf nodes) rather than brittle class names. # Actor input Schema ## `searchUrls` (type: `array`): Meesho search URLs to scrape. Example: https://www.meesho.com/search?q=ghar+soaps ## `maxItemsPerStartUrl` (type: `integer`): Maximum number of products to scrape per URL. The scraper scrolls Meesho's infinite list and stops at this limit. Default 500. ## `proxyConfiguration` (type: `object`): Meesho blocks datacenter IPs and is bot-protected. Apify Residential proxies (country India) are required and used by default. ## Actor input object example ```json { "searchUrls": [ { "url": "https://www.meesho.com/search?q=ghar+soaps" } ], "maxItemsPerStartUrl": 500, "proxyConfiguration": { "useApifyProxy": true, "apifyProxyGroups": [ "RESIDENTIAL" ], "apifyProxyCountry": "IN" } } ``` # Actor output Schema ## `products` (type: `string`): Structured Meesho product records with price, original price, rating, reviews, and image. # API You can run this Actor programmatically using our API.
