---

What Is Farmaciamato.it?

Farmaciamato.it is an Italian online pharmacy specializing in health, wellness, hygiene, and beauty products. The platform offers thousands of SKUs across categories like skincare, haircare, personal hygiene, supplements, and medical devices. For price monitoring specialists, competitor researchers, and e-commerce analysts, accessing this product data manually is inefficient — the Farmaciamato.it Products Scraper automates the extraction process, collecting 30+ fields per product in structured JSON or CSV format.

---

Overview

The Farmaciamato Products Scraper extracts product listings from Farmaciamato.it category pages, converting product cards and detail snippets into actionable structured data. It is designed for:

• Price monitoring agencies tracking pharmacy pricing across regions
• E-commerce researchers analyzing Italian health & beauty markets
• Competitive intelligence teams monitoring product assortment and promotions
• Data aggregators feeding product catalogs into comparison platforms or apps
• Marketing analysts studying discount strategies and promotional trends

Key strengths include pagination support (via page parameters), granular pricing extraction with discount calculations, and resilient error handling to skip problematic URLs without interrupting batch runs.

---

Input Format

The scraper accepts a JSON configuration specifying target URLs and collection parameters:

{
  "urls": [
    "https://www.farmaciamato.it/50-igiene-e-bellezza?page=2"
  ],
  "ignore_url_failures": true,
  "max_items_per_url": 200
}

Field	Type	Description	Example
urls	Array	List of Farmaciamato.it product category or search result pages to scrape	["https://www.farmaciamato.it/50-igiene-e-bellezza?page=1"]
ignore_url_failures	Boolean	If true, continues execution if a URL fails; if false, halts on error	true
max_items_per_url	Integer	Maximum number of products extracted per URL (default 20, max recommended 200)	200

Best practice: Use pagination parameters in URLs (?page=1, ?page=2, etc.) to control data volume and avoid timeout issues. For large collections, split across multiple runs with smaller max_items_per_url values.

How to Use

1. Find product category URLs — Browse Farmaciamato.it and copy category or search result page URLs (e.g., https://www.farmaciamato.it/50-igiene-e-bellezza?page=1).

2. Configure pagination — Add multiple URLs with different ?page= numbers to scrape multiple pages. Example:

{
     "urls": [
       "https://www.farmaciamato.it/50-igiene-e-bellezza?page=1",
       "https://www.farmaciamato.it/50-igiene-e-bellezza?page=2",
       "https://www.farmaciamato.it/50-igiene-e-bellezza?page=3"
     ],
     "max_items_per_url": 200,
     "ignore_url_failures": true
   }

3. Adjust limits — Set max_items_per_url to control volume. Start with 20 for testing; increase to 200 for production runs.

4. Enable resilience — Set ignore_url_failures: true for batch operations to skip any pages that fail without halting the run.

5. Launch and monitor — Start the scraper and check logs for completion. Export results as JSON, CSV, or Excel.

Troubleshooting tips:

• If no products appear, verify the URL is a category/search page (not a single product page).
• Discount fields may be empty (null) for non-discounted products — filter appropriately.
• Image URLs (Cover) may require additional authentication; cache them immediately if using externally.
