Mechanical Keyboard Deals Scraper

Find clearance and sale deals across the best mechanical keyboard stores — keyboards, keycaps, switches, and accessories at a discount. HTTP-only Shopify API scraping means it's fast, cheap, and doesn't need Playwright.

Why this scraper?

Mechanical keyboards are expensive. Enthusiasts constantly hunt for deals across 10+ fragmented stores. No cross-store deal aggregator exists — this is the first.

Key advantages

• HTTP-only API scraping — Uses Shopify's native JSON API. Much faster and cheaper than Playwright-based scrapers.
• 6 stores out of the box — NovelKeys (71 clearance), CannonKeys (21 clearance), Divinikey (246 BFCM sale), KBDfans (26 clearance), Daily Clack AU (16 clearance), SwitchKeys AU + more coming.
• Real deals only — Automatically filters out items with no actual discount (compare_at_price must exist and be higher than current price).
• Sorted by discount — Results are sorted with the biggest discounts first.
• Australian stores included — Daily Clack and SwitchKeys for AU-based deals (import savings).
• Structured output — Clean JSON with title, price, discount %, product type, inventory status, store, and image URL.
• Summary report — Aggregated breakdown by store and product category, plus average/max discount stats.

FAQ

Does this need Apify proxy? No — Shopify's JSON API is public and doesn't block. MechanicalKeyboards.com (optional HTML mode) may need a residential proxy.

How often should I run it? Daily is good. Clearance stock changes infrequently. During BFCM / holiday sales, run more often.

Can I add my own store? Yes — the stores are defined in the STORES list in src/main.py. Most keyboard stores use Shopify and expose the same /collections/{handle}/products.json endpoint.

I found a bug / a store changed its site! Open an issue on the Apify Store page. I check regularly and push fixes fast.
