Next.co.uk Product Scraper 🛍️

What does Next.co.uk Product Scraper do?

Next.co.uk Product Scraper collects structured product data from Next search and category pages. Start with a product keyword or a public Next page URL, then review product identifiers, titles, brands, colours, prices, ratings, product links, and images in an Apify dataset. The data can support product research, price comparisons, assortment checks, and recurring catalog monitoring.

Choose one search source for each run: a keyword or a url. The input form may show an example URL; clear it before running a keyword-only search. The Actor can collect products across result pages until it reaches results_wanted, reaches max_pages, or the source has no more results.

Why use Next.co.uk Product Scraper?

• Research product assortments - Compare products across Next departments, categories, colours, and fits.
• Track prices - Capture current price ranges and, when available, sale and previous price ranges.
• Review product performance signals - Collect ratings and product attributes when published by Next.
• Create repeatable datasets - Run searches on demand or schedule them in Apify for ongoing catalog monitoring.
• Connect results to other tools - Download the dataset or use Apify integrations, webhooks, and the API in your workflow.

What data can you extract from Next?

How to use Next.co.uk Product Scraper

1. Open the Actor in Apify Console.
2. Enter either a product keyword or a Next search/category url. Do not leave the example URL filled in for a keyword-only run.
3. Set results_wanted and max_pages to control the collection size.
4. Optionally configure Apify Proxy if you want requests routed through it.
5. Run the Actor, then review the dataset count and product records.
6. Export the dataset or connect it to a schedule or downstream workflow.

Input Parameters

Parameter	Type	Required	Default or prefill	Description
url	String	No	Console prefill: https://www.next.co.uk/search?w=shirt	Public Next search or category page. When using keyword, clear this prefilled value.
keyword	String	No	None	Product search term, such as shirt or linen shirt. Use when url is not supplied.
location	String	No	GB	Territory code used for the catalog, such as GB, OM, PL, or AE.
language	String	No	en	Language code used for the catalog.
results_wanted	Integer	No	20	Maximum number of product records to save. Minimum: 1.
max_pages	Integer	No	10	Maximum number of result pages to process, with up to 100 products per page. Minimum: 1.
proxyConfiguration	Object	No	{ "useApifyProxy": false }	Optional Apify Proxy configuration.

url is prefilled in the Apify input form as an example, but it is not a runtime default. For a keyword search, remove the URL value so it does not take priority over the keyword.

Usage Examples

Basic keyword search

Search Next for shirts and save up to 50 products. In the input form, clear the example url before starting this keyword-only run.

{
    "keyword": "shirt",
    "results_wanted": 50,
    "max_pages": 5
}

Search from a Next URL

Use a public Next search URL when you already have the search phrase encoded in the page address.

{
    "url": "https://www.next.co.uk/search?w=linen%20shirt",
    "results_wanted": 40,
    "max_pages": 4,
    "location": "GB",
    "language": "en"
}

Larger run with Apify Proxy

Enable Apify Proxy for a larger collection when you want the run to use proxy routing. Proxy availability depends on your Apify account configuration.

{
    "url": "https://www.next.co.uk/search?w=shirt",
    "results_wanted": 200,
    "max_pages": 10,
    "proxyConfiguration": {
        "useApifyProxy": true
    }
}

Sample Output

This example is based on a product record collected from Next. Optional fields can be absent when the source does not provide them.

    "brand": "Next",
    "department": "Menswear",
    "fit": "Slim Fit",

    "colourwaysCount": 5,
    "availableFits": ["Regular", "Skinny", "Slim"],
    "criteriaUrl": "https://www.next.co.uk/search?w=shirt",
    "searchTerm": "shirt",
    "realm": "next",
    "territory": "GB",
    "language": "en"
}

Tips for Best Results

• Use a specific keyword such as linen shirt when you want a more focused result set.
• For a keyword-only run, remove the example URL from the input form. A supplied URL takes precedence as the search criteria.
• Start with a smaller results_wanted value to confirm the query and inspect the returned fields.
• Increase max_pages when you need more coverage, while keeping results_wanted at the desired output limit.
• Use territory and language values that match the Next storefront you want to query.
• Check multiple products before treating an absent optional field as a collection problem. Next may not publish every attribute for every product or region.

Temporary Errors and Retries

The Actor makes a limited number of retries for temporary connection failures and retryable server responses, including HTTP 429 and 5xx responses. A retry warning in the log does not by itself mean the run failed. Check the final run status and the number of products saved. If the source continues returning errors after the retry attempts, the run can still fail.

For example, a run recorded on 24 September 2026 received two HTTP 502 responses, recovered on retry, and then saved 100 products from each of two pages, for 200 of 200 requested products. This is evidence of one successful recovery, not a guarantee that every run will recover from source-side errors.

Integrations and Export Formats

• Google Sheets - Review and compare product prices or assortment data in a spreadsheet.
• Webhooks - Notify another service when an Actor run finishes.
• Make and Zapier - Send product records into no-code workflows.
• Apify API - Read dataset records from your applications or scheduled jobs.

Apify datasets can be exported in formats such as JSON, CSV, Excel, and XML.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why does the log show a retry warning if the run succeeded?

A retry warning records a temporary failure that the Actor recovered from. Confirm success by checking the final run status and the saved item count, rather than judging the run from an intermediate warning alone.

Does the Actor always return the requested number of products?

No. The Actor stops at results_wanted or max_pages, and it may return fewer records when the selected page has fewer products or the source does not provide enough results. Persistent source errors can also prevent a complete run.

Should I provide both a URL and a keyword?

Use one search source per run. A supplied url determines the page criteria, so clear the prefilled URL when you want a keyword-only search.

Why are some fields missing?

Fields are omitted when Next does not provide a value for a product or colourway. A missing optional field does not necessarily indicate that the product was not collected.

Can I schedule recurring product checks?

Yes. Create an Apify schedule and choose an interval for repeat runs. Compare the resulting datasets to review changes in product prices or assortment.

Can I export products to CSV or Excel?

Yes. Apify datasets support CSV and Excel exports, as well as JSON, XML, and other formats available in Apify Console.
