Zoro Listings Scraper

🔩 Zoro Scraper: Prices, Specs and Stock from Zoro Tools

Export Zoro.com product listings as clean JSON, CSV or Excel. The Zoro Product Listings Scraper turns any search phrase or category from Zoro Tools, the US industrial supply store with over 13 million products, into a structured product feed: price, list price, brand, MFR part number, full technical specs, images, stock flags and category path. Use it to track Zoro prices, enrich an MRO catalog, compare Zoro vs Grainger or as a practical stand-in for a Zoro API.

🎯 Use Cases

• Zoro Tools price tracking: schedule a daily run on your categories and keep a dated price history for drills, gloves, fasteners or any other aisle.
• MRO catalog enrichment: fill your own product database with Zoro titles, brands, MFR numbers, images and 50+ spec attributes per product.
• MFR part number lookup and UPC lookup: match manufacturer part numbers to Zoro item numbers, prices and (with ratings on) UPC codes.
• Zoro vs Grainger and Amazon comparisons: export the same category from Zoro and line it up with other industrial suppliers by MFR number.
• Procurement research: check pack sizes, minimum order quantities, lead times and freight-only or state shipping restrictions before you buy in bulk.
• Brand and assortment analysis: see which brands Zoro carries in a category, how they are priced and which items are discounted.

✨ Features

• Prices as numbers: current price, the struck-through originalPrice when an item is on sale, and the priceUnit it applies to (EA, PK, CS…).
• Full technical specs: every attribute Zoro lists for the product as key–value pairs, often 50 or more (voltage, chuck size, material, tool weight, battery series…).
• Identifiers: Zoro item number, MFR part number and, with ratings on, the UPC.
• Stock and fulfillment flags: in stock, discontinued, lead time in days, drop-ship, freight-only and the US states an item can't ship to.
• Search phrases or category URLs: type nitrile gloves, or paste any Zoro category (/c/) or keyword (/k/) page. If a phrase has no page, the singular or plural form is tried automatically.
• Deep categories split automatically: a single listing stops at roughly 9,900 products, so when your limit asks for more, big categories are split into their subcategories.
• No duplicates: a product found by two searches or categories is saved and charged once per run.
• Optional ratings: one switch adds star rating, review count and UPC for every product.
• Fair billing: you pay per product saved, and the run stops at your cost limit.

💰 Pricing

Pay only for the products you get. No monthly rental.

Event	Price	What you get
Product	$0.004 per product ($4.00 per 1,000)	One product with all the fields below except rating, reviews and UPC
Enriched product	$0.008 per product ($8.00 per 1,000)	Everything in a product, plus star rating, review count and UPC

🔁 Schedule and Integrate

For Zoro price tracking, run it once a day with the same search terms and category URLs: every run is a dated snapshot, and together they form your price and stock history. Set it up in Apify Schedules. Send results to Google Sheets, Zapier, Make, n8n or a webhook with Apify integrations, so price changes land where your purchasing team already works.

❓ FAQ

Does Zoro have an official API? Zoro doesn't offer a public, self-serve API for its product catalog. This Actor needs no key, account or approval and returns the public product data any visitor sees on Zoro.com, including full specs and stock flags, as ready-to-use JSON.

How do I look up a Zoro product by MFR part number? Search Zoro for the part's category or a descriptive phrase, then filter the results by mfrNo. Every product row carries both the MFR part number and the Zoro item number (zoroNo).

Do I need a Zoro account? No. Prices are the standard guest prices shown to any visitor in the US.

Why is a field empty? originalPrice is null when an item isn't on sale. rating, reviewCount and upc stay null unless ratings are turned on, and a product with no reviews yet may show a reviewCount of 0 and no rating.

Why does a search term return no products? Zoro only has result pages for a curated set of phrases. Try a more standard product term (hex key set rather than allen wrench kit) or paste the category URL instead. The run then ends with "Saved 0 products" and costs only the start fee.

How many products can I get? One search or category returns up to about 9,900 products. Bigger categories are split into subcategories automatically when your Maximum products asks for more. The catalog is Zoro's US store.

Zoro vs Grainger: how do I compare prices? Zoro is a Grainger company and many items share MFR part numbers. Export the same category here, then join it with your other supplier data on mfrNo and brand.
