XXL Sport Scraper

Scrapes products from XXL Sport (xxl.no), Scandinavia's largest sports retailer. Covers running, skiing, cycling, outdoor, gym, and team sports.

Dual extraction strategy

The scraper first tries XXL's Elevate search API (Apptus eSales) for structured product data. If the API doesn't return results, it falls back to CheerioCrawler with __NEXT_DATA__ extraction from the Next.js frontend.

XXL product pages follow: /{brand}-{product-name}/p/{numeric-id}

Data sources (in priority order)

1. Elevate API -- custom fields like product_title, selling_price, image_url
2. Next.js __NEXT_DATA__ -- SSR page props with product objects
3. JSON-LD Product schema from HTML
4. OpenGraph meta tags as last resort
