Makeup Product Scraper: Extract Beauty Product Data at Scale

---

What Is Makeup.ro (And all other Countries site)?

Makeup.ro is one of Eastern Europe's prominent online beauty and cosmetics retailers, offering thousands of products across skincare, makeup, haircare, and personal care categories. The platform serves multiple countries and carries a wide range of international and local brands. With its extensive catalog and frequently updated inventory, manually collecting product data from Makeup.ro is impractical at scale.

The Makeup Product Search Scraper automates this process — turning category and search listing pages into clean, structured datasets ready for analysis, integration, or monitoring.

---

Overview

This scraper is built to extract product cards from Makeup.ro (And all other Countries site) search and category listing pages. It navigates paginated results and collects comprehensive product-level data including pricing, availability, ratings, media assets, and variant information.

Ideal users include:

• E-commerce analysts benchmarking pricing and product assortment
• Brand managers monitoring how their products appear on the platform
• Data scientists building beauty market datasets
• Developers feeding product data into comparison engines or dashboards

The scraper supports bulk URL input, configurable item limits, and graceful failure handling — making it suitable for both small spot-checks and large-scale catalog extractions.

---

Input Format

The scraper accepts a JSON configuration object with the following fields:

{
  "urls": [
    "https://makeup.ro/categorys/2419/#sort=date&offset=36",
    "https://makeup.fr/categorys/3/",
    "https://makeup.uk/search/?q=lip"
  ],
  "ignore_url_failures": true,
  "max_items_per_url": 200
}

Field Definitions

Field	Type	Default	Description
urls	array of strings	—	One or more Makeup.ro category or search listing page URLs to scrape. Supports bulk input. Each URL should point to a product list page (e.g., /categorys/, /search/), not an individual product page.
ignore_url_failures	boolean	true	When true, the scraper continues processing remaining URLs even if one fails. Recommended for bulk runs.
max_items_per_url	integer	20	Maximum number of products to collect per URL. Increase up to 200 or more for full category extraction.

Input Tips

• Pagination via URL: Makeup.ro supports offset-based pagination in the URL hash (e.g., #sort=date&offset=36). You can add multiple paginated URLs to the urls array to cover a full category.
• Sort parameters: Use #sort=date for newest listings, #sort=popularity for top sellers, or #sort=price for price-ordered results.
• Bulk editing: Paste multiple URLs line by line using the Bulk edit mode when using the Apify console.

    "description": "<p><strong>Tint de buze</strong> este alegerea potrivită pentru un machiaj rapid, proaspăt și ușor de purtat &icirc;n fiecare zi. Spre deosebire de un ruj clasic, acesta colorează buzele &icirc;ntr-un mod mai subtil și se simte lejer, fără senzație &icirc;ncărcată. Poate fi purtat singur, pentru un efect natural, sau combinat cu balsam, gloss ori creion de buze atunci c&acirc;nd &icirc;ți dorești un look mai definit.</p>\r\n<h3>Culoare naturală pentru rutina de zi cu zi</h3>\r\n<p>Un tint pentru buze se potrivește foarte bine &icirc;n machiajele simple, alături de BB creams, cushions, mascara discretă și puțin blush. Este genul de produs care adaugă prospețime feței fără să pară prea intens, fiind ideal pentru birou, facultate, ieșiri rapide sau zilele &icirc;n care preferi un machiaj minim.</p>\r\n<p>Nuanțele variază de la rozuri delicate și tonuri piersică p&acirc;nă la roșu fructat, berry sau nude cald. Unele formule oferă o culoare abia vizibilă, ca după aplicarea unui balsam colorat, &icirc;n timp ce altele lasă un efect mai intens, potrivit și pentru machiaje de seară. Un lip tint poate fi aplicat &icirc;n strat subțire pentru un rezultat discret sau reaplicat pentru mai multă intensitate.</p>\r\n<h3>Formule lejere, confortabile și ușor de purtat</h3>\r\n<p>Tinturile moderne vin &icirc;n mai multe variante, de la formule apoase și geluri fine p&acirc;nă la produse cremoase, asemănătoare unui balsam. Pentru buze care se usucă ușor, un tint de buze hidratant poate fi o opțiune plăcută, mai ales dacă preferi o senzație moale și confortabilă pe parcursul zilei. Există și variante cu aspect mat, potrivite pentru un machiaj mai curat și mai fix, dar și produse cu efect lucios, pentru buze mai pline vizual.</p>\r\n<p>Un ruj tint este apreciat pentru modul &icirc;n care se estompează treptat și natural, fără contururi dure. &Icirc;n funcție de formulă, poate lăsa pe buze o pată fină de culoare care rezistă mai bine dec&acirc;t multe produse lucioase obișnuite. Pentru zile lungi, un tint de buze rezistent ajută la menținerea unui aspect &icirc;ngrijit chiar și atunci c&acirc;nd nu ai timp de retușuri dese.</p>\r\n<h3>Potrivit pentru machiaje rapide și combinații simple</h3>\r\n<p>Un tint buze se integrează ușor &icirc;n rutina de dimineață, după pașii de bază precum cleanser, serum, cremă și sunscreen. Se aplică rapid, nu ocupă mult spațiu &icirc;n geantă și este potrivit pentru retușuri discrete &icirc;n timpul zilei. Formatele travel-friendly, cu aplicator mic sau ambalaj compact, sunt practice pentru vacanțe, sală, birou sau pentru trusa de machiaj purtată zilnic.</p>\r\n<p>Poate fi folosit și pentru efecte diferite, &icirc;n funcție de stilul preferat. Aplicat doar &icirc;n centrul buzelor și estompat ușor, oferă un look tineresc și delicat. Purtat pe toată suprafața buzelor, creează un aspect mai uniform și mai expresiv. Se potrivește at&acirc;t cu eye makeup foarte simplu, c&acirc;t și cu eyeliner, farduri neutre sau mascara intensă.</p>\r\n<h3>Un produs mic, cu impact vizibil</h3>\r\n<p>Produsele pentru buze au devenit esențiale &icirc;n orice rutină de beauty, iar tinturile sunt apreciate tocmai pentru echilibrul dintre culoare, confort și simplitate. Nu cer precizie perfectă la fiecare aplicare și nu transformă machiajul &icirc;ntr-un look rigid. Buzele arată mai vii, mai &icirc;ngrijite și mai proaspete, cu un efect care poate răm&acirc;ne natural chiar și &icirc;n nuanțe mai intense.</p>\r\n<p>&Icirc;n zilele &icirc;n care pielea are nevoie doar de c&acirc;teva produse de bază, precum o cremă lejeră, un sunscreen și un cushion subțire, tintul completează machiajul fără efort. Iar &icirc;n serile &icirc;n care rutina include măști, serums sau &icirc;ngrijire mai bogată, poate răm&acirc;ne produsul de culoare rapid pe care &icirc;l folosești pentru un plus de prospețime &icirc;nainte de a ieși din casă.</p>",

How to Use

1. Find a category or search URL — Browse Makeup.ro to your target category or search results page. Copy the full URL including any #sort or #offset parameters.
2. Configure the input — Paste one or more URLs into the urls array. Set max_items_per_url based on how many products you need (default is 20; increase for full-category scraping).
3. Set failure handling — Keep ignore_url_failures: true for bulk runs to prevent a single broken URL from stopping the entire job.
4. Run the scraper — Start the actor and monitor logs for progress.
5. Export your data — Download results as JSON, CSV, or Excel for use in spreadsheets, databases, or BI tools.

Best practices:

• For full category coverage, generate multiple paginated URLs (incrementing offset by the page size) and add them all to the urls array.
• Run during off-peak hours for more stable results on large batches.
• If a URL returns zero results, verify it loads correctly in a browser — Makeup.ro category URLs can change over time.

---

• Competitor analysis: Understand brand assortment, availability, and positioning

The Makeup.ro Product Search Scraper replaces hours of manual browsing with a single automated run — delivering consistent, machine-readable records that integrate directly into any downstream workflow.
