AVA Scraper

Scrape products from ava.be, a Belgian retailer for home goods, garden supplies, party decorations, school and office materials, and seasonal items. Available in Dutch and French.

Tweakwise API

AVA.be uses Tweakwise for its search and navigation backend. The scraper can query this API directly for fast results with product names, prices, images, and item numbers. If you enable enrichProductPages, it additionally visits each product page to collect EANs, descriptions, full image galleries, and stock status.

searchQuery	String	No	Keyword, e.g. "stoel", "verf", "kerstverlichting"
categoryUrl	String	No	Category URL, e.g. https://www.ava.be/nl/c/school-en-bureau

• The scraper identifies product URLs by path depth (5+ segments) when specific selectors don't match
• JSON-LD on product pages provides fallback pricing when HTML selectors fail
