E-Commerce Product Scraper

Extract structured product data from any e-commerce website — title, price, currency, availability, images, specs, and more.

Works with 50+ online stores out of the box. Uses smart HTTP-first fetching with automatic Playwright fallback for JavaScript-heavy sites.

Features

• Universal extraction — works with any e-commerce site, not just specific stores
• 4-layer parsing — JSON-LD → Open Graph → Microdata → CSS heuristics for maximum coverage
• Smart rendering — tries fast HTTP first; switches to headless browser only when needed
• Structured output — clean JSON with title, price, currency, stock status, images, brand, SKU, specs
• Multi-currency — auto-detects UAH, USD, EUR, GBP, PLN, CZK, RON
• Breadcrumbs — extracts product category path when available
• Proxy support — works with Apify proxy for anti-bot bypass

Supported Stores (tested)

Region	Stores
🇺🇦 Ukraine	Rozetka, Foxtrot, Epicentr, Comfy, Allo, Citrus, Moyo, Prom.ua
🇪🇺 Europe	Amazon.de, MediaMarkt, Notino, Zara, H&M, IKEA
🌍 Global	Amazon.com, eBay, AliExpress*, Best Buy, Walmart

*AliExpress requires Playwright mode (set forcePlaywright: true)

The scraper also works with any other e-commerce site that uses standard product markup (JSON-LD, Open Graph, or Microdata) — which is the vast majority of online stores.

Input

{
    "urls": [
        "https://rozetka.com.ua/ua/some-product/p123456/",
        "https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0EXAMPLE/"
    ],
    "forcePlaywright": false,
    "maxConcurrency": 5
}

Field	Type	Description
urls	string[]	Required. Product page URLs to scrape
forcePlaywright	boolean	Force headless browser for all URLs (default: false)
maxConcurrency	integer	Max parallel pages (default: 5, max: 20)
proxyConfiguration	object	Proxy settings (Apify proxy recommended for protected sites)

Output

Each product is saved to the dataset as a JSON object:

{
    "url": "https://rozetka.com.ua/ua/samsung-galaxy-s24/p395058825/",
    "store": "rozetka.com.ua",
    "title": "Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra 12/256GB Titanium Black",
    "price": 51999.0,
    "currency": "UAH",
    "in_stock": true,
    "image": "https://content.rozetka.com.ua/...",
    "brand": "Samsung",
    "sku": "SM-S928BZKDSEK",
    "description": "Смартфон Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra...",
    "rating": 4.8,
    "review_count": 342,
    "breadcrumbs": ["Смартфони", "Samsung", "Galaxy S24"],
    "extraction_method": "json-ld"
}

How it works

The scraper uses a 4-layer extraction strategy, running each layer in order and filling in missing data:

1. JSON-LD (highest confidence) — parses <script type="application/ld+json"> with @type: Product
2. Open Graph — reads <meta property="og:*"> and <meta property="product:*"> tags
3. Microdata — finds itemscope itemtype="schema.org/Product" attributes
4. CSS Heuristics — falls back to common CSS selector patterns for price, title, etc.

If HTTP fetch returns weak data (no title or no price), the scraper automatically retries with a headless Chromium browser (Playwright) to handle JavaScript-rendered pages.

Use Cases

• Price monitoring — track competitor prices across multiple stores
• Market research — collect pricing data for analysis
• Product catalog — build product databases from multiple sources
• Dropshipping — check prices and availability across suppliers
• Price comparison — aggregate offers for the same product

Tips

• For best results with protected sites (Cloudflare, AWS WAF), enable Apify Proxy
• Set forcePlaywright: true for sites known to require JavaScript (AliExpress, some fashion stores)
• Keep maxConcurrency at 3-5 for sites with aggressive rate limiting
• The scraper respects robots.txt — use responsibly
