Target Scraper: Store Inventory, Clearance & Stock Checker

Target Scraper: Store Inventory, Clearance & Stock Checker

Check how many units of any Target product are in each store near a ZIP code, in one run. Paste TCINs, links, UPC barcodes or DPCIs and get stock in the 1-20 nearest stores, like BrickSeek but pay-per-result and ready for automation. Or search by keyword or category and get price, clearance and units in your stores, or list all clearance in stock at your store.

Schedule it with Only report changes and get just the news: price drops, new clearance, back in stock, sold out.

Export as JSON, CSV, Excel or HTML, or use it as a Target API. No browser, no login, no proxy setup.

How it works

1. Choose what to do: Check stock of products in nearby stores, Search products in stores or Find stores near a ZIP code
2. Add products (TCIN, target.com link, UPC or DPCI), or keywords (lego), or target.com category links
3. Add a US ZIP code and how many of the nearest stores to check (or exact store numbers, any state)
4. Optional: filters (Only clearance, Only in stock, Minimum discount %, Maximum price) and Only report changes for scheduled alerts (see Monitoring)

Check stock asks Target for each product once and gets all nearby stores in that answer. With Store numbers instead of a ZIP it checks up to 24 products per store in one request. Search products in stores takes the products from the first (nearest) store and checks the same products in the other stores.

Only report changes: how monitoring works

Monitoring turns a scheduled run into alerts. It works in three steps:

1. Switch on Only report changes and pick a Monitor name (one name per list of items or searches)
2. Save as a task and schedule it, for example every morning (Actor page → Save as a new task → Schedule)
3. First run saves prices and stock and returns everything marked change: new. Every later run compares with the previous run and returns only the differences. An empty result means nothing changed

change	When
price_drop, price_increase	The price changed (previousPrice shows the old one)
clearance_started, clearance_ended	The item went on clearance or left it
back_in_stock, out_of_stock	The store has it again, or sold out
online_back_in_stock, online_out_of_stock	target.com can ship it again, or sold out online (once per product, on its first store row)
in_stock_somewhere	The item was sold out in every Target store and now at least one US store has it: the earliest restock signal for Pokémon cards and other hard-to-find items
quantity_change	Units in the store changed by at least Report stock count changes of at least (off by default)
new_item	A new product appeared in the search or category, or a new store near the ZIP

Filters apply to the reported rows, so Only in stock with monitoring returns only items that came back in stock. Use a different Monitor name for each task, otherwise two tasks overwrite each other's memory. You pay for the requests and for the changes returned, not for unchanged items.

Pokémon card restocks

Target search mixes official Pokémon TCG products with marketplace sellers (imported Japanese packs at resale prices, never in stores). To watch only what Target itself sells, including items that are sold out right now, use this category link, which has the filters Sold by Target and Include out of stock:

https://www.target.com/c/pokemon/-/N-4yka5Zdq4mnZfwtfrZtkle6

In September 2026 it returned 288 official products; 282 of them were sold out in every US store. Schedule it with Only report changes every 15-60 minutes and you get a row only when something changes:

Signal	Field / change
Back on the shelf in one of your stores, with units	back_in_stock, storeQuantity
Back online (ship to home)	online_back_in_stock
Back in at least one US store (was sold out everywhere)	in_stock_somewhere

A full check of the 288 products in 1 store is about 24 requests, about $0.015 per run when nothing changed.

Tips

• TCIN is the number after A- in a product link: target.com/p/.../-/A-94939978 → 94939978. DPCI is on the shelf tag and the receipt (204-00-0505). A UPC barcode works too.
• Category links: open a category or brand page on target.com and copy its address (it ends with /N- and an ID). Clearance is https://www.target.com/c/clearance/-/N-5q0ga. Filtered links work too: pick a department, brand or discount on target.com and paste the address (N-5q0gaZ5xtvd = clearance in Home & Decor).
• Prices are Target's national prices (what target.com shows). Target does not publish store-specific shelf prices, so in-store-only markdowns can be lower than price. Stock is per store.
• Units are what Target shows for store pickup ("Only 8 left"); the shelf can differ by a few.
• Only in stock in search mode also limits the list to products sold in the first store, so Only clearance + Only in stock = clearance your store carries.
• US stores only.
• Other stores: Home Depot inventory and clearance, Walmart restock tracker (online stock). Send results to email, Slack or Google Sheets with integrations.
