About Iceland.co.uk

Iceland Foods is the UK's leading frozen food retailer, offering thousands of products from budget basics to premium items. Whether tracking competitor pricing, analyzing frozen food trends, or building product databases, manual browsing is inefficient — the Iceland Product Search Scraper automates extraction, delivering clean, structured data in minutes.

---

Overview

The Iceland Product Search Scraper extracts detailed product listings from Iceland.co.uk search results, capturing comprehensive product information across 80+ fields. It is ideal for:

• Retail analysts monitoring frozen food pricing and promotions
• E-commerce platforms aggregating UK frozen product catalogs
• Price comparison services tracking Iceland vs. competitors
• Market researchers studying frozen food consumer trends and stock levels
• Supply chain teams monitoring product availability and inventory status

The scraper supports both direct URL scraping and search filter mode, with configurable price ranges, sorting options, and flexible item limits.

---

Input Format

The scraper accepts flexible JSON configuration supporting two modes:

Mode 1: Scrape by URLs

{
  "urls": [
    "https://www.iceland.co.uk/search?q=meat&srule=Margin-best-sellers&pmin=5.00&pmax=10.00",
    "https://www.iceland.co.uk/fresh?page=2"
  ],
  "ignore_url_failures": true,
  "max_items_per_url": 200
}

Parameter	Type	Description
urls	array	Direct links to Iceland search result pages. Accepts multiple URLs for bulk scraping
ignore_url_failures	boolean	If true, continues running if some URLs fail; if false, stops on first failure
max_items_per_url	integer	Maximum products to extract per URL (e.g., 200 limits output to first 200 items)

Use case: When you have pre-built URLs with specific filters already applied.

Mode 2: Search by Filters

{
  "keyword": "meat",
  "sort_by": "Margin-best-sellers",
  "price_min": 5,
  "price_max": 10,
  "page": 1,
  "max_items_per_url": 200,
  "ignore_url_failures": true
}

Parameter	Type	Options	Description
keyword	string	Any product term	Search term (e.g., "meat", "vegetables", "ice cream")
sort_by	string	Margin-best-sellers, price-low-to-high, price-high-to-low, product-name-a-to-z, product-name-z-to-a	Sort order for results
price_min	integer	Any valid price	Minimum product price in GBP (e.g., 5)
price_max	integer	Any valid price	Maximum product price in GBP (e.g., 10)
page	integer	1, 2, 3...	Starting page number for pagination
max_items_per_url	integer	1–500	Max items to collect per page

Use case: Automated search queries without pre-building URLs.

Tip: Leave the urls array empty when using search filter mode. Use sort_by: "Margin-best-sellers" to prioritize Iceland's profit-margin bestsellers.

How to Use

Option 1: Direct URL Scraping

1. Navigate to Iceland.co.uk and apply filters (price, category, search term)
2. Copy the full search result URL from your browser
3. Paste URLs into the urls array
4. Set max_items_per_url (e.g., 200 for 200 products per URL)
5. Run the scraper

Option 2: Search Filter Mode

1. Enter a product keyword (e.g., "meat", "ice cream")
2. Select sort order (e.g., "Margin-best-sellers")
3. Set price range: price_min: 5, price_max: 10
4. Set starting page: page: 1
5. Set max items: max_items_per_url: 200
6. Leave urls array empty
7. Run the scraper

Best practices:

• Use ignore_url_failures: true for bulk scraping to skip broken pages
• For large datasets, scrape by page using multiple runs with incrementing page numbers
• Monitor "In Stock" status separately — stock levels change frequently
• Use discount/promotional fields to track price changes over time

Handling common issues:

• If no results appear, verify the keyword exists on Iceland.co.uk
• Check that price range (price_min, price_max) overlaps actual product prices
• Some products may have disabled "Add to Cart" — these still extract but cannot be purchased
