Home Depot Product Scraper

Scrape Home Depot product listings from search results and product pages. Extract titles, current and original prices, star ratings, review counts, detailed specifications, brand, SKU, model numbers, images, online and in-store availability, and direct product URLs.

Built for contractors, suppliers, renovation companies, price monitoring services, and competitive analysis in the home improvement market.

Features

• Multi-strategy extraction -- parses embedded JSON-LD, __NEXT_DATA__, inline script data, and DOM elements for maximum reliability
• Full product details -- title, price, original price, savings, rating, reviews, availability, brand, SKU, model number, specs, images, store stock, URL
• Detailed specifications -- extracts product dimensions, weight, material, color, voltage, warranty, certifications, and dozens of other spec fields
• Multiple input modes -- search by keyword, browse by category, scrape direct product URLs, or combine all three
• Price filtering -- set a maximum price to skip expensive or commercial/bulk items
• Category filtering -- narrow results to specific Home Depot departments (Tools, Appliances, Bath, Kitchen, Lighting, Flooring, Plumbing, Electrical, Paint, and 20+ more)
• Smart pagination -- automatically follows search result pages (up to 25 pages, ~600 products per search term)
• Product enrichment -- visits individual product pages to collect full specifications and additional images beyond what search results provide
• Anti-bot handling -- rotates 12 realistic User-Agent strings with full browser headers (sec-ch-ua, sec-fetch-*, DNT, etc.)
• Deduplication -- skips duplicate products across pages and search terms using SKU tracking
• CAPTCHA detection -- detects blocks and stops gracefully, preserving all data collected so far
• Proxy support -- optional Apify proxy configuration (residential proxies strongly recommended)
• Pay-per-event -- charged per product scraped at $0.004/product

Dataset Views

The actor provides three pre-configured dataset views:

1. Products Overview -- full product table with title, price, rating, reviews, availability, brand, SKU, store stock
2. Price Analysis -- focused view showing title, current price, original price, savings amount, savings percentage, brand, rating, reviews
3. Product Specifications -- technical view with title, brand, SKU, model number, specs object, price, URL

Performance Tips

1. Use residential proxies -- Home Depot has aggressive anti-bot detection. Residential proxies are strongly recommended. Set proxy: { "useApifyProxy": true, "apifyProxyGroups": ["RESIDENTIAL"] }.
2. Start small -- test with maxResults: 10 and a single search term first.
3. Be specific -- "DEWALT 20V cordless drill" returns more targeted results than "drill", reducing pages needed.
4. Use category filters -- combining search terms with a category filter narrows results significantly.
5. Price filtering -- set maxPrice to skip commercial/bulk items that inflate result counts.
6. Multiple search terms -- the actor processes all terms in a single run, sharing deduplication across terms.
7. Product URLs -- for known products, provide direct URLs for the fastest, most reliable scraping.

Rate Limiting and Blocks

Home Depot has strong anti-bot protections (PerimeterX). This actor handles them by:

• Rotating 12 realistic browser User-Agent strings per request
• Sending full browser headers (sec-ch-ua, sec-fetch-*, accept-language, DNT, etc.)
• Adding random delays between requests (300-1500ms)
• Limiting to 12 requests/minute by default
• Detecting CAPTCHA, access denied, and PerimeterX challenge pages
• Stopping gracefully when blocked, preserving all data collected so far
• Supporting proxy rotation via Apify's residential proxy infrastructure
• Retrying failed requests up to 3 times

If you see "Anti-bot page detected" in the logs, switch to residential proxies for reliable results.

Pricing (Pay Per Event)

This actor uses Apify's pay-per-event model. You are charged $0.004 for each product successfully scraped and saved to the dataset. Direct product URL scrapes and search result scrapes are both charged at the same rate. Enrichment page visits that add specifications to already-scraped products are also charged.
