What Is JCPenney?

JCPenney is a major American retail chain offering clothing, home furnishings, jewelry, and accessories across thousands of SKUs. Their online catalog features dynamic search results, promotional pricing, and real-time inventory status. Extracting this product data manually is inefficient — the JCPenney Product Search Scraper automates collection from search result pages, delivering structured product intelligence at scale.

Input Format

The Actor supports two scraping modes — use only one at a time:

1. Scrape by URLs — scrape data directly from a list of JCPenney product search list page URLs.

{
  "urls": [
    "https://www.jcpenney.com/g/women/view-all-women?id=cat10011030002&page=2&mktTiles=2"
  ],
  "ignore_url_failures": true,
  "max_items_per_url": 200
}

2. Scrape by search filters — scrape data using a keyword and additional filters (product type, item type, gender, color, price range, etc.) instead of providing URLs.

{
  "keyword": "a",
  "sort_by": "NA",
  "product_type": [],
  "item_type": [],
  "gender": [],
  "features": [],
  "occasion": [],
  "color": [],
  "price_range": "",
  "rating": "",
  "page": 1,
  "max_items_per_url": 200
}

There is also a General settings group that applies to both modes.

1. Scrape by URLs

Use this mode when you already have specific search list URLs. When this mode is used, all options in the "Scrape by search filters" section will be disabled.

Field	Type	Default	Description
urls	array	(required)	One or more JCPenney product search list URLs to scrape. You can paste URLs one by one, or use the Bulk edit section to add a prepared list.
ignore_url_failures	boolean	true	If true, the scraper continues running when a URL fails instead of stopping the entire run. Recommended for bulk jobs.

2. Scrape by search filters

Use this mode when you want to search using a keyword and additional filter attributes instead of scraping by URLs. If you use this mode, leave the urls field above empty.

Field	Type	Description
keyword	string	The keyword to search for.
sort_by	string (BM, NA, BS, RHL, LPLH, LPHL)	Sort results by: Best Match, New Arrivals, Best Sellers, Relevance High to Low, Price High to Low, or Price Low to High.
product_type	array of string	One or more product categories to filter by (e.g. dresses, shoes, handbags, cookware sets). Supports multi-select; leave empty for All.
item_type	array of string	One or more specific item types to filter by (e.g. a-line dresses, sneakers, air fryers). Supports multi-select; leave empty for Any.
gender	array of string (boys, girls, mens, unisex adult, unisex kids, women)	One or more target genders to filter by. Leave empty for Any.
features	array of string	One or more product features/attributes to filter by (e.g. adjustable, waterproof, lightweight, organic). Supports multi-select; leave empty for Any.
occasion	array of string (active, casual, cocktail, daytime, dress, formal, party, sexy, special occasion, wear to work, work + service)	One or more occasions to filter by. Leave empty for Any.
color	array of string (beige, black, blue, brown, clear, gold, gray, green, multi, nude, orange, pink, purple, red, rose, rose tone, silver, white, yellow)	One or more colors to filter by. Leave empty for Any.
price_range	string	A single price bracket to filter by, ranging from under $5 up to over $4,999. Leave empty for Any.
rating	string (5+rating, 4+rating, 3+rating, 2+rating, 1+rating)	Minimum customer rating to filter by. Leave empty for Any.
page	integer	The page number to start scraping from.

Note: product_type, item_type, gender, features, occasion, and color each offer a large, predefined dropdown list of valid values in the Actor's input UI — pick the exact values shown there so filters map correctly to JCPenney's site categories.

3. General settings

Applies to both scraping modes above.

Field	Type	Default	Description
max_items_per_url	integer	20	The maximum number of products to extract per URL/search (range: 1–200+). Increase for broader datasets.

Input Notes

• Paste full search URLs including query parameters (e.g., ?id=cat10011030002&page=2).
• Multi-page scraping: add each page URL separately, or use the page filter when scraping by search filters.
• Both category-filtered searches and keyword searches are supported.
• Best practice: test with 1–2 URLs (or a narrow filter set) before running bulk operations.

How to Use

1. Find search URLs — Navigate to JCPenney.com, perform a product search (by category, brand, or keyword), and copy the full URL including all query parameters.
2. Add to scraper — Paste URLs into the urls array, one per entry.
3. Set limits — Adjust max_items_per_url based on your needs (200 = all products on the page).
4. Enable error handling — Keep ignore_url_failures: true for reliable bulk runs.
5. Execute & export — Start the scraper and download results as JSON, CSV, or Excel.

Best Practices:

• Test with a single URL before bulk operations
• Use consistent URL structure (avoid shortened URLs)
• For multi-page results, add each page URL separately
• Monitor pricing data collection during seasonal sales for complete snapshots

Troubleshooting:

• If images aren't captured, verify the page loaded fully (JavaScript-rendered pages may need delays)
• For pricing discrepancies, cross-check with the PDP URL for real-time accuracy
