Thomann Product Search Scraper

Pull structured product data from Thomann — Europe's largest musical-instrument and pro-audio retailer — across 10 country storefronts, with real numeric prices, currency codes, discounts, star ratings, stock levels and article numbers on every row. Search by keyword, browse a whole department, or paste any Thomann search or category page and get it back as a clean table. Built for music-gear resellers, price-monitoring analysts, and e-commerce competitor-intelligence teams who need Thomann's catalogue as analysis-ready rows instead of copying prices off a browser page one product at a time.

Why This Scraper?

• 10 country storefronts with true local pricing — International, Germany, United Kingdom, Austria, France, Spain, Italy, Netherlands, Poland and Sweden. The country stores price in EUR, GBP, PLN or SEK with product text and stock messages in that store's language; International quotes VAT-free export prices and picks its currency automatically, and every row carries its own currency and vatRate so you always know which you got.
• Numbers, not price strings — price is 379.0, not "379 €". currency is the ISO code, rating is a 0–5 float, inStock is a real boolean and stockQuantity an integer. Drops straight into a spreadsheet, BI tool or pricing model with no cleanup.
• 12 commercial fields most gear trackers drop — originalPrice (the strike-through price), discountPercentage, isOnSale, isBStock (open-box units at reduced prices), isExpressShippable, tags (the store's own badges, such as "TOP SELLER"), vatRate, priceIncludesVat, articleNumber, salesRank, globalRank and categoryKey, all on the same row as the current price.
• 15 named departments you can browse without a search term — Guitars & Basses, Keyboards & Pianos, Drums & Percussion, Studio & Recording, PA & Live Sound, Lighting & Stage, DJ Equipment, Microphones, Software, Wind Instruments, Orchestral & Traditional, Cables & Connectors, Cases & Bags, Sheet Music & Music Stands, and Accessories. Microphones alone returns 6,026 products.
• Star-rating filter that behaves the way you'd expect — "3 stars and up" returns 3-, 4- and 5-star products together (10,181 matches on a catalogue-wide run), not just the 159 products rated exactly three. Most rating filters on this site silently give you the narrow bucket.
• 7 sort orders that change which products you keep — Popularity, Price low→high, Price high→low, Best rated, Newest, Name A–Z and Name Z–A. Combine "Price: low to high" with a 100-result cap and you get the 100 cheapest matches, not the first 100 Thomann felt like showing.
• An in-stock filter that measurably narrows the set — 13,591 ship-now products versus 15,321 total on the same query, so your feed never advertises a back-ordered item.
• Paste a department landing page, get its products — dropping in https://www.thomann.de/gb/electric_guitars.html returns 5,478 electric guitars. Paste a filtered search page instead and every filter you clicked in the browser is carried through untouched.
• Up to 100 products per page fetch and zero per-product lookups — every field above comes from the listing itself, so 300 rows across three pages finish in seconds and 100 results cost you a fraction of a minute.

Input Reference

What to Scrape

Parameter	Type	Default	Description
searchTerms	string[]	["shure sm7b"]	What you are looking for, e.g. "fender stratocaster". Each term runs as its own search.
startUrls	string[]	[]	Thomann search or category page URLs. Any filters and sorting already built into the URL are kept as they are.

Leave both empty and pick a department to collect that whole department.

Store & Currency

Parameter	Type	Default	Description
storefront	string	"intl"	Which Thomann store to read — sets price currency and product language. International quotes VAT-free export prices and picks its currency automatically, so choose a country store when you need one specific currency. A pasted URL uses its own store instead.

Value	Store
intl	International (English, currency varies)
de	Germany (German, EUR)
gb	United Kingdom (English, GBP)
at	Austria (German, EUR)
fr	France (French, EUR)
es	Spain (Spanish, EUR)
it	Italy (Italian, EUR)
nl	Netherlands (Dutch, EUR)
pl	Poland (Polish, PLN)
se	Sweden (Swedish, SEK)

Filters

All filters are optional and combine with each other. They apply to search terms and department browsing; a pasted URL always keeps its own built-in filters.

Parameter	Type	Default	Description
category	string	"all"	Limit results to one Thomann department.
manufacturers	string[]	[]	Only return products from these brands, e.g. "Fender", "Shure", "Harley Benton". Spell the brand the way Thomann does.
minRating	string	"any"	"any" (Any rating), "3" (3 stars and up), "4" (4 stars and up), "5" (5 stars only). Products with no reviews are excluded when set.
minPrice	integer	none	Only return products at or above this amount, in the currency of the store you picked.
maxPrice	integer	none	Only return products at or below this amount, in the currency of the store you picked.
inStockOnly	boolean	false	Only return products Thomann can ship right now. Off also includes pre-orders, back-orders and special-order items.
sortBy	string	"popularity"	Order products are collected in — matters when you cap results. Newest and the two name sorts leave out products Thomann has no date or name ordering for, so they return about 4% fewer matches.

Department values for category

Value	Department	Value	Department
all	All Departments	SW	Software
GI	Guitars & Basses	BL	Wind Instruments
TA	Keyboards & Pianos	TR	Orchestral & Traditional Instruments
DR	Drums & Percussion	KA	Cables & Connectors
ST	Studio & Recording	CA	Cases & Bags
PA	PA & Live Sound	NO	Sheet Music & Music Stands
LI	Lighting & Stage	ZU	Accessories
DJ	DJ Equipment	MI	Microphones

Sort values for sortBy

Value	Order
popularity	Popularity (Thomann default)
priceAsc	Price: low to high
priceDesc	Price: high to low
rating	Best rated first
newest	Newest products first
nameAsc	Name: A to Z
nameDesc	Name: Z to A

Limits

Parameter	Type	Default	Description
maxResults	integer	100	Maximum products per search term and per pasted URL. Two terms at 100 returns up to 200 products. Results arrive a page at a time, so a run finishes the page it is on and can end slightly above this number. It can land a few short when Thomann has fewer matches than you asked for, or serves a page with a couple of items missing. Set to 0 to collect every match, which can be tens of thousands.

Tips for Best Results

• Pair a sort order with your result cap. A cap of 100 on "Price: low to high" gives you the 100 cheapest matches; on "Best rated first" it gives the 100 best-reviewed. Without a deliberate sort you get whatever Thomann ranks highest by popularity.
• Paste a department landing page instead of hunting for its code. Any Thomann hub URL such as https://www.thomann.de/gb/electric_guitars.html is resolved to its department automatically, which is the fastest way to reach a sub-department finer than the 15 top-level values.
• Rating buckets round to the nearest star. A 3.5-star product appears under "4 stars and up" because that is how Thomann's own facet counts it — expect the boundary to match the site, not a strict cut-off.
• Use a non-EUR storefront for regional price comparison. Run the same brand list against gb, pl and se in separate runs and compare price alongside currency — the UK, Polish and Swedish stores price independently, not by exchange rate.
• Spell brands exactly as Thomann does. "Harley Benton", "Neumann", "t.bone" — the brand filter matches the store's own spelling, and multiple brands combine as "any of these".
• Start with a cap of 50–100 to confirm the fields and filters match what you need, then raise it or set it to 0 for a full department sweep.
• Filters are skipped for pasted URLs by design. A URL already carries its own filters, so build the filtering into the URL in your browser, or use search terms and departments when you want the filter panel above.

Pricing

From $4.00 per 1,000 results — cheaper than the alternatives on the store, with far more per-row detail. Bronze, Silver and Gold subscribers pay progressively less; the table below shows total cost at each discount tier.

Results	No discount	Bronze	Silver	Gold
100	$0.48	$0.45	$0.43	$0.40
1,000	$4.80	$4.50	$4.25	$4.00
10,000	$48.00	$45.00	$42.50	$40.00
100,000	$480.00	$450.00	$425.00	$400.00

A "result" is one product row in the output dataset. No compute or time-based charges — you pay per result, plus a small fixed per-run start fee.
