WebstaurantStore Scraper

Pull the full WebstaurantStore product catalog at scale — regular, sale, and member "Plus" prices, UPCs and manufacturer item numbers, NSF/UL certifications, live stock and freight flags, spec-sheet PDFs, images, and star ratings for every SKU. Built for food-service procurement teams, resellers and dropshippers, and price-monitoring analysts who need clean, structured catalog and pricing data without copy-pasting product pages one at a time.

Why This Scraper?

• Three price tiers on every product — the regular price, the promotional salePrice, and the member-only "Plus" price (plusPrice), so you track the real transactable price instead of the sticker alone.
• Honest MAP-price handling — items under a Minimum Advertised Price policy return price: null by design, because the merchant hides the price until add-to-cart. You still get the full row (brand, specs, stock), and the null flags exactly which SKUs are MAP-restricted.
• Identifiers built for catalog matching — the WebstaurantStore itemNumber and the manufacturer vendorItemNumber on every product, plus the upc when full details are enabled, so you join this data to your own catalog, ERP, or a distributor feed without fuzzy name-matching.
• Full specifications table plus NSF/UL certifications — enable full details and each product returns a specifications object (dimensions, capacity, voltage, material, and more) and a certifications array (NSF, UL, ETL, and others) for compliance-sensitive sourcing.
• Downloadable spec sheets and manuals — with full details enabled, the documents array delivers direct PDF links to manufacturer spec sheets, manuals, and warranty docs from each product's detail page.
• Live fulfillment signals — inStock, freeShipping, and commonCarrier (freight) flags on every row, plus a human-readable stockMessage and quickShip eligibility when full details are enabled, so you know what's buyable and how it ships before you commit.
• Whole-catalog reach across a dozen departments — refrigeration, cooking equipment, smallwares, disposables, furniture, janitorial, and food & beverage, at up to 100 products per listing page.
• Aggregate star rating + review count — rating (0–5) and reviewCount on every product give you an at-a-glance demand and quality signal for ranking or filtering your dataset.

Input Reference

What to Scrape

Parameter	Type	Default	Description
startUrls	URL[]	one sample category URL	WebstaurantStore page URLs — an individual product, a whole category, or a search results page. The page type is detected automatically and every product found is collected.
searchTerms	string[]	[]	Keywords to search, such as "commercial refrigerator" or "sheet pan". Each keyword runs its own search and every matching product is collected. Leave empty to use URLs only.

Options

Parameter	Type	Default	Description
includeDetails	boolean	false	Open each product's detail page to also collect full specifications, certifications, spec-sheet documents, the extended description, and all product images. Turn off for a faster run with just the core listing fields.

Limits

Parameter	Type	Default	Description
maxItems	integer	100	Stop after collecting this many products in total across all URLs and keywords. A hard cap — you are never charged for more than this number of results. Set to 0 to collect everything found.

Tips for Best Results

• Leave includeDetails off for fast price sweeps. Core listing fields — name, brand, all three price tiers, stock, and rating — come straight from the listing pages, so a details-off run is quick. Turn it on only when you also need UPCs, full specifications, certifications, spec-sheet PDFs, the extended description, and every image — those come from each product's own page, so expect a longer run (roughly a few minutes per 100 products). It costs the same either way — you pay per result — so on large categories with details on, set a maxItems cap to keep runs manageable.
• Expect price: null on MAP-restricted items. Some brands enforce a Minimum Advertised Price, so the store hides the number until add-to-cart. That row still bills as one result and still carries brand, specs, and stock — check salePrice and plusPrice, which are sometimes shown even when price is null.
• Start small to validate. Set maxItems to 10–50 on your first run to confirm the fields match your needs, then scale up.
• Mix URLs and keywords in one run. Product, category, and search URLs plus keyword searches can all go in a single invocation — page types are detected for you.
• Use vendorItemNumber and upc for catalog joins. They are the most reliable keys for matching WebstaurantStore products to your ERP, PIM, or a distributor feed — far more stable than product names.
• Filter freight items with commonCarrier. Large equipment ships by freight, not parcel — use this flag to route those SKUs into a separate fulfillment or quoting workflow.
• Give each keyword its own entry in searchTerms. The array runs one search per keyword, so broad and narrow terms return cleaner, non-overlapping result sets.

Pricing

From $3.00 per 1,000 results — undercutting the going market rate for restaurant-supply catalog data. Bronze, Silver, and Gold subscribers pay progressively less; the table below shows the total cost at each discount tier.

Results	No discount	Bronze	Silver	Gold
100	$0.36	$0.34	$0.32	$0.30
1,000	$3.60	$3.40	$3.20	$3.00
10,000	$36.00	$34.00	$32.00	$30.00
100,000	$360.00	$340.00	$320.00	$300.00

A "result" is any product row in the output dataset — MAP-restricted items count as one result even when the price field is null. No compute or time-based charges — you pay per result, plus a small fixed per-run start fee.
