Sephora Scraper

What does Sephora Scraper do?

Sephora Scraper collects product data from public pages on sephora.me. Paste a category, brand, search, or product URL, set a product limit, and receive a dataset with names, brands, prices, ratings, review counts, stock status, badges, images, and product links.

The default input collects new makeup products, and any other public Sephora Middle East listing or product page works the same way. The output supports beauty market research, price tracking, assortment analysis, launch monitoring, and merchandising reviews.

Why use Sephora Scraper?

• One dataset for price and product research - Current price, previous price when discounted, currency, rating, and review count arrive in the same record.
• Brand and category comparisons - Collect a single brand, a full category, or a search result set without changing tools.
• Availability tracking - in_stock and is_low_stock show which products are currently buyable.
• Launch monitoring - is_new and is_exclusive mark products with a new or Sephora-exclusive badge.
• Predictable run size - results_wanted caps saved records and max_pages caps how deep a run goes.
• Export and automation - Download JSON, CSV, Excel, or XML, or send the dataset to another service after a run.

Tips for Best Results

• Start small - Run 20 to 50 products to confirm the URL and output before raising the limit.
• Use stable URLs - Permanent category pages work better than short-lived campaign links for scheduled runs.
• Keep the locale consistent - Use the same country and language prefix when comparing datasets from different dates.
• Set both limits - results_wanted controls saved products, and max_pages controls how deep the run goes.
• Check the currency - Price currency follows the storefront locale in startUrl.
• Read missing values as source data - A missing price, rating, shade count, or stock signal usually means Sephora did not publish it for that product.

Integrations and Export Formats

• Google Sheets - Review category snapshots, price tables, and brand comparisons in a spreadsheet.
• Airtable - Keep a searchable product catalog with brand and availability fields.
• Webhooks - Notify another service when a run finishes.
• Make or Zapier - Send product records to reporting and alerting workflows.
• API access - Read dataset items from your own systems after a run.

Apify datasets can be exported as JSON, CSV, Excel, XML, and other supported formats.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I collect products from a brand page?

Yes. Paste a brand URL such as https://www.sephora.me/ae-en/brands/dior/DIOR into startUrl.

Can I collect a single product?

Yes. Paste a product detail URL into startUrl and set results_wanted to 1.
