Netmeds Product Search Scraper: Extract Healthcare Ecommerce Data

---

What Is Netmeds?

Netmeds is India's leading online pharmacy and healthcare products platform, offering medicines, medical devices, vitamins, wellness products, and surgical instruments. It hosts tens of thousands of active listings with dynamic pricing, discounts, and regional availability. Manually tracking product data across categories is inefficient — the Netmeds Product Search Scraper automates collection, delivering structured product records at scale.

---

Overview

The Netmeds Product Search Scraper extracts detailed product information from Netmeds search results and category pages, converting unstructured listings into clean, machine-readable data. It is designed for:

• Price intelligence platforms monitoring competitor pricing and discounts
• Market researchers analyzing healthcare product trends and brand performance
• ecommerce analysts benchmarking product attributes and availability
• Retailers and aggregators building healthcare product catalogs
• Data scientists studying medication pricing patterns and consumer health trends

Key strengths include dual scraping modes (URL-based or search-based), advanced filtering by price and discount, sorting flexibility, and graceful error handling via ignore_url_failures.

---

Input Format

The scraper accepts two modes of operation, configured via JSON:

Mode 1: Scrape by URLs

{
    "urls": [
        "https://www.netmeds.com/collection/surgical-instrument",
        "https://www.netmeds.com/products?q=a&sort_on=price_dsc"
    ],
    "max_items_per_url": 200,
    "ignore_url_failures": true
}

Mode 2: Scrape by Search Filters

{
    "keyword": "aspirin",
    "sort_by": "price_dsc",
    "price_range": "100-5000",
    "min_discount": "20",
    "max_items_per_url": 200
}

Parameter	Type	Description
urls	array	Direct links to Netmeds product listing pages or category collections
keyword	string	Search term (e.g., "vitamin", "antibiotics"). Leave empty to use URL mode
sort_by	string	Sorting option: price_asc, price_dsc, discount_asc, discount_dsc, or empty for relevance
price_range	string	Min-max price filter (e.g., 1110-14852 in INR)
min_discount	integer	Minimum discount percentage (e.g., 22 for 22% off)
max_items_per_url	integer	Maximum products per URL/search (e.g., 200)
ignore_url_failures	boolean	If true, continues if individual URLs fail

Tip: Use search filters for dynamic discovery; use URLs when targeting specific categories or pre-built search pages.

1. Enter a keyword (e.g., "paracetamol")
2. Optionally set sort_by (price_asc, price_dsc, discount_dsc, etc.)
3. Apply price_range (min-max format, e.g., "500-2000")
4. Set min_discount threshold (e.g., 20 for 20%+ discounts)
5. Configure max_items_per_url for result size
6. Run the scraper

Best practices:

• For price intelligence, use sort_by: "price_dsc" to capture premium products first
• Enable ignore_url_failures: true for bulk runs to avoid interruptions
• Set max_items_per_url conservatively (50–200) to balance speed and comprehensiveness
• Use price filters for targeted price range analysis
