# Lowe's Scraper — US Home Improvement Products & Prices (`studio-amba/lowes-scraper`) Actor Scrape products, prices, ratings, and specs from Lowes.com — America's #2 home improvement retailer. - **URL**: https://apify.com/studio-amba/lowes-scraper.md - **Developed by:** [Studio Amba](https://apify.com/studio-amba) (community) - **Categories:** E-commerce - **Stats:** 1 total users, 0 monthly users, 0.0% runs succeeded, NaN bookmarks - **User rating**: No ratings yet ## Pricing Pay per usage This Actor is paid per platform usage. The Actor is free to use, and you only pay for the Apify platform usage, which gets cheaper the higher subscription plan you have.

Actors are a software tools running on the Apify platform, for all kinds of web data extraction and automation use cases. In Batch mode, an Actor accepts a well-defined JSON input, performs an action which can take anything from a few seconds to a few hours, and optionally produces a well-defined JSON output, datasets with results, or files in key-value store. In Standby mode, an Actor provides a web server which can be used as a website, API, or an MCP server. Actors are written with capital "A". ## How to integrate an Actor? If asked about integration, you help developers integrate Actors into their projects. You adapt to their stack and deliver integrations that are safe, well-documented, and production-ready. The best way to integrate Actors is as follows. In JavaScript/TypeScript projects, use official [JavaScript/TypeScript client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js.md): ```bash npm install apify-client ``` In Python projects, use official [Python client library](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python.md): ```bash pip install apify-client ``` In shell scripts, use [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md): ````bash # MacOS / Linux curl -fsSL https://apify.com/install-cli.sh | bash # Windows irm https://apify.com/install-cli.ps1 | iex ```bash In AI frameworks, you might use the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/platform/integrations/mcp.md). If your project is in a different language, use the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md). For usage examples, see the [API](#api) section below. For more details, see Apify documentation as [Markdown index](https://docs.apify.com/llms.txt) and [Markdown full-text](https://docs.apify.com/llms-full.txt). # README ## Lowe's Scraper Extracts product data from Lowes.com, the American home improvement giant with 1,700+ stores. Scrapes search results, category pages, and individual product detail pages. ### Input | Field | Type | Required | Description | |-------|------|----------|-------------| | `categoryUrls` | Array | No | Lowe's category page URLs | | `searchQuery` | String | No | Search keyword (default: `"tools"`) | | `maxResults` | Integer | No | Product limit (default: 100) | | `proxyConfiguration` | Object | No | Proxy settings (US proxies recommended) | ### How it works The scraper first collects product links from listing pages (matching Lowe's `/pd/` URL pattern), then visits each product detail page. JSON-LD structured data is the primary extraction method, with HTML fallback for missing fields. It also picks up Lowe's-specific fields like Model ## and Item #. ### Output | Field | Type | Example | |-------|------|---------| | `name` | String | `"DEWALT 20-Volt Max Brushless Drill"` | | `brand` | String | `"DEWALT"` | | `price` | Number | `149.00` | | `originalPrice` | Number | `179.00` | | `currency` | String | `"USD"` | | `sku` | String | Product ID | | `modelNumber` | String | `"DCD791D2"` | | `itemNumber` | String | `"1234567"` | | `inStock` | Boolean | `true` | | `rating` | Number | `4.7` | | `reviewCount` | Number | `2341` | | `imageUrl` | String | Main image | | `imageUrls` | Array | All product images | | `description` | String | Product description | | `category` | String | `"Tools > Power Tools > Drills"` | | `specs` | Object | `{"Voltage": "20V", "Battery": "Lithium Ion"}` | ```json { "name": "DEWALT 20-Volt Max Brushless Drill", "brand": "DEWALT", "price": 149.00, "currency": "USD", "modelNumber": "DCD791D2", "inStock": true, "rating": 4.7, "reviewCount": 2341, "category": "Tools > Power Tools > Drills", "url": "https://www.lowes.com/pd/DEWALT-20-Volt-Max-Brushless-Drill/1234567", "scrapedAt": "2026-03-16T10:00:00.000Z" } ```` ### Lowe's-specific details - Product URLs follow the pattern `/pd/{product-slug}/{product-id}` - Pagination uses `offset` query parameter (24 products per page) - Specs are pulled from the specifications table on detail pages - `modelNumber` and `itemNumber` are unique to Lowe's product pages # Actor input Schema ## `categoryUrls` (type: `array`): Lowe's category or product pages to scrape. Example: https://www.lowes.com/l/Tools/cl5011 ## `searchQuery` (type: `string`): Search for products by keyword (e.g., 'drill', 'lawn mower'). Overrides category URLs. ## `maxResults` (type: `integer`): Maximum number of products to return. ## `proxyConfiguration` (type: `object`): Proxy settings for better reliability. ## Actor input object example ```json { "categoryUrls": [ { "url": "https://www.lowes.com/l/Tools/cl5011" } ], "maxResults": 100 } ``` # API You can run this Actor programmatically using our API. Below are code examples in JavaScript, Python, and CLI, as well as the OpenAPI specification and MCP server setup. ## JavaScript example ```javascript import { ApifyClient } from 'apify-client'; // Initialize the ApifyClient with your Apify API token // Replace the '' with your token const client = new ApifyClient({ token: '', }); // Prepare Actor input const input = { "categoryUrls": [ { "url": "https://www.lowes.com/l/Tools/cl5011" } ] }; // Run the Actor and wait for it to finish const run = await client.actor("studio-amba/lowes-scraper").call(input); // Fetch and print Actor results from the run's dataset (if any) console.log('Results from dataset'); console.log(`💾 Check your data here: https://console.apify.com/storage/datasets/${run.defaultDatasetId}`); const { items } = await client.dataset(run.defaultDatasetId).listItems(); items.forEach((item) => { console.dir(item); }); // 📚 Want to learn more 📖?
