Brico Scraper

Scrape products from brico.be, Belgium's largest DIY chain (part of Colruyt Group). Tools, building materials, garden furniture, paint, flooring, plumbing, electrical -- hundreds of stores and a deep online catalogue.

Two scraping modes

1. Search API mode (searchQuery): Calls Brico's internal search API directly. Returns structured JSON with prices, EANs, stock status, delivery info, ratings, and images. No HTML parsing needed -- this is the fast path.

2. Category/URL mode (startUrls): Crawls HTML pages, visiting each product page for JSON-LD data plus breadcrumbs and specs.

Cost

Search API mode: ~$0.05 per 1,000 products (no HTML fetching). Category mode: ~$0.25 per 1,000.

Tips

• Search mode is fastest -- it calls the API without loading HTML pages
• Set language to "fr" for French product names and categories
• Brico includes third-party marketplace products in results
• The search API caps at ~10,000 results per query
• Built-in delays prevent rate limiting

Limitations

• Full product descriptions and technical specs are only available from product detail pages, not the search API
• Product images use Brico's CloudFront CDN
