How it works

Product discovery on listing pages uses a clever trick: JBC embeds CQuotient tracking scripts on each product tile with cq_params.products = [{ id: '314071BLD' }]. The scraper extracts these product IDs, strips the color suffix to get the base product ID, and constructs product detail URLs.

Product pages use JSON-LD Product data for extraction. Color variants and sale prices come from HTML elements.

Pagination uses start= and sz= URL parameters (Salesforce Commerce Cloud pattern). The scraper reads the "X van Y items" text to know when to stop paginating.

Cost

About $0.35 per 1,000 products (visits detail pages for each product).

Notes

• Belgian fashion chain with only own-brand products
• URL structure: /nl-be/ for Dutch, /fr-be/ for French
• Default page size is 72 items per listing page
• Product IDs like "314071BLD" consist of a numeric base + color code suffix
