Google Shopping Scraper: Prices, Merchants and Ratings

Google Shopping Scraper

Search Google Shopping by keyword and country and get one record per product from the results page: title, current price as a number and as shown, currency, previous price, store name, rating, review count, delivery and returns text, condition, badges and thumbnail. Use it for price monitoring, competitor and assortment research, market comparisons between countries and product feeds for analysis.

What you get

One record per product. Fields a product card does not show are null (an empty list for badges).

Field	Type	Description
product_id	string	Google's product id for the card
title	string	Product title
price	number or null	Current price as a number
price_text	string or null	Current price as shown, for example $98.00 or 55,00 €
currency	string or null	ISO currency code (USD, EUR, MXN and so on), read from the price text and the country
old_price	number or null	Previous price, only when the card shows a higher price next to the current one
old_price_text	string or null	Previous price as shown
merchant	string or null	Store name shown on the card
merchant_count	string or null	Hint that more stores sell the product, as Google words it (for example & more); N stores when the card says so
rating	number or null	Average rating out of 5
review_count	integer or null	Number of reviews. Google shows large counts as 3.9K; these are returned rounded (3900)
delivery	string or null	Delivery text, in the language of the language input
returns	string or null	Returns text
condition	string or null	Condition label such as Refurbished or Used
badges	array	Badges on the card, for example SALE, LOW PRICE or 29% OFF

thumbnail	string or null	Image URL when the results page provides one, otherwise null
position	integer	Rank of the product within the query, counted across pages
page	integer	Results page the product was found on
search_query	string	The query that returned the product
country	string	Country code the search ran for (the requested country)
served_language	string or null	Language the results page was served in (en, de)
scraped_at	string	UTC timestamp, ISO 8601

What the listing does not contain

Google's results page shows the store name but not a link to the store's own offer, so there is no direct merchant URL in the output. google_search_url opens the same product on Google Shopping, where the store links are. Product shelves that Google adds below the main results (for example a row of related machine types) are not part of the output; only the main results grid is read.

thumbnail is empty for the first results on a page, where Google embeds the image inline instead of linking it.

Fill rates

Measured on one live run for the US market (60 products, two queries, 30 each):

Field	Filled
title, price, price_text, currency, merchant	60 of 60
rating, review_count	59 of 60
returns	52 of 60
delivery	39 of 60
merchant_count	38 of 60
old_price, badges	26 of 60
thumbnail	9 of 60 (none for the first query, 9 of 30 for the second)
condition	0 of 60

Other markets and query types fill differently; condition appears mainly on refurbished and used items.

Input

Field	Type	Default	Description
searchQueries	list of text	["espresso machine"]	Product keywords. A comma or line separated text also works, and a Google results link with a q= keyword is accepted. The same keyword given twice is searched once.
country	text	US	Two-letter country code (US, GB, DE, FR, MX and so on). It decides which stores, prices and currency are shown.
language	text	en	Language of the results page, for example de or pt-BR. It sets the language of delivery and returns texts.
maxResults	integer	10	Maximum number of products across all queries. 0 means no limit. The limit is shared equally between queries; a share that is not used goes to the later ones.
maxResultsPerQuery	integer	0	Maximum number of products for each query. 0 means no separate limit.
proxyConfiguration	object	default settings	Proxy settings. The default works for most runs.

Numbers may be given as text ("25"). An empty input {} runs a small sample search (espresso machine, US, up to 10 products) and the run status says so. If the input cannot be read, the actor runs that same sample and writes a warning to the log. A product that appears in several queries is delivered once.

Example input

  "searchQueries": ["espresso machine", "milk frother"],

Pricing

Pay per event. There are two events: a one-time start fee, charged once after the first product is delivered, and a fee for each delivered product. The prices are shown on the Pricing tab of this Actor. A run that delivers nothing is not charged. If you set a maximum cost per run, the run stops at that limit and the status message says how many products were delivered.

FAQ

Why is the currency not the one I expected? Prices follow the country input. Set country to the market you want to compare (DE for euro prices, GB for pound prices). If Google answers for a different country than the one requested, the actor asks once more and otherwise ends the run without delivering or charging.

Why is there no link to the store? Google's results page names the store but does not link to it. See "What the listing does not contain".

Why are rating and review_count empty for some products? New or little-reviewed products have none on the card.

What happens with a query Google cannot match? Google Shopping then shows loosely related products instead of an empty page, and the actor returns what the page shows. Check title against your keyword when you run unusual search texts.

Why is thumbnail empty for some products? Google delivers part of the images inside the page itself rather than as a link. The actor returns an image URL only when the page gives one and never returns embedded image data.

How many products per query? A results page holds about 40 products (40 and 38 on the pages tested). The actor follows the page's own "more results" link while a page has one and stops when it does not; a live run with maxResults 70 returned 40 products from page 1 and 30 from page 2, with no repeated products. The depth per query depends on what Google offers.

How do I stop at a budget? Set a maximum cost per run, or use maxResults. The status message reports how many products were delivered.

Are the results the same as in my browser? Google personalises and varies results by country, language and time. Positions and prices can differ between runs and from what you see when signed in.
