Lookfantastic Scraper - Beauty Products & Prices

Disclaimer: This Actor is an independent tool and is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by THG plc or any of its subsidiaries. All trademarks mentioned are the property of their respective owners. "Lookfantastic" is referenced only to describe the publicly available website this Actor collects data from.

Scrape beauty and skincare products from Lookfantastic by keyword: product name, price, RRP / sale price, image and product URL.

Lookfantastic is protected by Akamai bot management and renders its search results client-side, so a normal HTTP scraper only sees a promo shell. This Actor uses an anti-detect browser (Camoufox) through residential proxies to render and read the real product grid.

Why the price per result is higher: reaching this data requires a full anti-detect browser render plus residential proxies on every search page - materially more expensive than a plain HTTP scraper. The per-product price reflects that; you're paying for data a normal scraper simply cannot reach.

What it does

• Searches Lookfantastic by keyword (serum, moisturiser, vitamin c, a brand like La Roche-Posay, ...).
• Renders each result page in an anti-detect browser and extracts title, price, RRP / sale, image and the direct product URL.
• Paginates up to your Max products.

Example output

{
  "type": "product",
  "productId": "13228399",
  "title": "La Roche-Posay Cicaplast Balm B5 Multi-Purpose Repairing Balm 100ml",
  "price": "£19.90",
  "rrp": "£15.92",
  "onSale": true,
  "image": "https://static.thcdn.com/productimg/...",
  "url": "https://www.lookfantastic.com/p/la-roche-posay-cicaplast-balm-.../13228399/"
}

Input

Field	Description
Search keywords	Product keywords or brands (one search each).
Max products	Cap across all searches.
Max pages per keyword	Result pages to render per keyword.
Proxy	Residential is required (default). Datacenter proxies are blocked by the site.

Use cases

• Beauty price & promotion monitoring - track prices and sale/RRP across the catalogue.
• Brand & assortment analysis - pull a brand's full Lookfantastic lineup.
• Product datasets - build a structured beauty-product feed from a hard-to-scrape site.

Notes

rrp appears only when a product is on sale (onSale is always present). If a run returns nothing, an anti-bot challenge caught that session - simply re-run; a fresh residential session almost always clears it.

Run it from an agent (MCP / API)

Agent-ready: typed input schema, structured JSON output. Pass searchQueries and read the product records back.

Agent-ready: autonomous payments (x402 & Skyfire)

This actor is agent-ready — AI agents can discover it, run it, and pay for it autonomously, with no Apify account and no human in the loop. It uses pay-per-event pricing and limited permissions, so it qualifies for Apify's agentic-payment standards:

• x402 — an open, HTTP-native payment protocol. Agents pay per run in USDC on the Base network directly through the Apify MCP server — no account, no API key.
• Skyfire — agent-to-service payments for fully autonomous AI-agent workflows.

Building an AI agent, MCP tool, or autonomous data pipeline? This scraper is ready to plug in and pay as it goes.

How much does it cost to scrape Lookfantastic?

This Actor uses Apify's pay-per-event pricing: you are charged only for the results it delivers, with no monthly rental and no start fee. The events it can charge are:

• Product - One Lookfantastic product rendered via an anti-detect browser + residential proxy (title, price, RRP, rating, image, URL)

The current price of each event is shown on the Pricing tab of this page. Set a maximum total charge on the run if you want a hard cap on spend, and use the input limits to control how much the Actor fetches.

Automate & schedule

Run this Actor on autopilot and pull results into your own stack:

• Apify API - start runs, fetch datasets and manage schedules over REST.
• apify-client for JavaScript and apify-client for Python - official SDKs.
• Schedules - run it hourly, daily or weekly and keep your dataset current.
• Webhooks - trigger downstream actions (CRM import, Slack alert, email sequence) the moment a run finishes.

import { ApifyClient } from 'apify-client';

const client = new ApifyClient({ token: 'MY_APIFY_TOKEN' });

const run = await client.actor('scrapesage/lookfantastic-scraper').call({
    // your input - see the Input section above
});

const { items } = await client.dataset(run.defaultDatasetId).listItems();
console.log(`Got ${items.length} records`);

Integrate with any app

Connect the dataset to thousands of apps - no code required:

• Make - multi-step automation scenarios.
• Zapier - push new records straight into your CRM or spreadsheet.
• Slack - get notified when a scheduled run finds something new.
• Google Drive / Sheets - auto-export every run to a spreadsheet.
• Airbyte - pipe results into your data warehouse.
• GitHub - trigger runs from commits or releases.

FAQ

Why residential only? The site blocks datacenter IPs; residential + an anti-detect browser is what clears it. Login/key? No. Legal? It reads publicly listed catalogue data; use it in line with the site's terms and applicable law.
