FAQ

What makes this scraper different from HTML-based beauty scrapers? It uses ICI PARIS XL's SAP Commerce Cloud API directly. This means you get complete, structured data including stock levels, specs, and classifications that are not visible on the rendered page.

Can I get data in French? Yes. Set "language": "fr" to get French product names, descriptions, and category labels.

How do I find category codes? Browse iciparisxl.be, navigate to a category, and copy the URL. The category code is the last part, e.g., /c/001 for Parfum. You can also start with a broad search and filter the results.

Does it include niche/luxury brands? Yes. ICI PARIS XL stocks both mass-market brands (L'Oreal, Maybelline) and prestige brands (Chanel, Dior, La Mer, Tom Ford). All are included in scrape results.

Can I monitor stock levels over time? The stockLevel field gives you the actual stock count at scrape time. Schedule regular runs to build a stock availability timeline.

How often does ICI PARIS XL change prices? Promotions rotate frequently. Weekly scraping catches most promotions. Daily scraping catches flash sales and limited-time offers.

Limitations

• This scraper targets iciparisxl.be (Belgium only). The Dutch ICI PARIS XL site is a different platform.
• Stock level data is approximate and reflects online warehouse stock, not individual store inventory.
• The SAP Commerce Cloud API may rate-limit aggressive scraping. The scraper includes built-in delays to avoid this.
• Product specs and classifications vary by category. Fragrance products have richer metadata than accessories.
• Some product descriptions contain HTML formatting that is stripped to plain text.
