Menards Scraper

Scrape Menards (menards.com, US) as clean JSON. Get search results, priced for a store or ZIP code when you set one, or product pages in full. Every search result comes with the Menards SKU and item id, title, brand, link and image, the shelf price, the everyday low price, Menards' rebate (usually 11%) and the price after rebate, and availability: units in stock at the store, pickup and delivery. Product pages add the model number, sale and rebate end dates, description, features, specifications, images and breadcrumbs.

Features

• Store prices and stock - set a store number, or a ZIP code to use the nearest store. Without one, Menards' online prices are returned and there is no store stock.
• Search mode - up to 120 products per search term (40 per page), sorted by best match, price, title or brand, filtered by price, in stock today, delivery or pickup. A keyword Menards sends to a category returns that category's products.
• Product mode - one product per input (products: product link or Menards SKU) with prices, rebate, specifications and features.
• Many inputs per run - search terms or products in parallel.

Use cases

• Price and rebate tracking - sale prices, rebates and the price after rebate by keyword.
• Store stock checks - units in stock at a Menards store, in-stock-today searches.
• Competitive pricing - Menards against Home Depot and Lowe's for the same items.
• Product catalogues - model numbers, specifications and images for a category.

}

For items whose maker lets Menards show the price only in checkout, priceInCheckout is true and minimumAdvertisedPrice holds the advertised price. A product-mode item adds modelNumber, saleEnds, rebateEnds, offerPrice, availability, description, features, specifications (name, value), images and breadcrumbs (product pages show Menards' online prices).

Per search term, the LISTINGS record in the key-value store keeps the store, totalResults, the category Menards sent the search to and paging.

Pricing

$2.50 per 1000 products (pay per result). A search term or product that returns nothing (no match, an unknown SKU) is listed in the ERRORS record of the key-value store and is not charged.
