BioMall Scraper: lab reagents, chemicals and prices

Scrape BioMall (biomall.in, now biomall.ai), the B2B marketplace for laboratory supplies: reagents, fine and bulk chemicals, antibodies and ELISA kits, culture media, PCR and molecular biology products, glassware, plasticware and lab equipment. Search by keyword, brand or category, paste product URLs, or crawl the whole catalogue (1.4M+ products). Every product comes with its name, brand, catalog number, CAS number, category, pack size, price and currency, description, image and the manufacturer's own product page, plus SDS, TDS and COA document links when BioMall lists them. No login, no cookies, no BioMall account.

What you get

Product	Name, brand, catalog number, CAS number (chemicals), category, pack size, short description, image
Price	Price as a number and its currency (mostly INR, some USD), plus the price exactly as shown
Links	BioMall product page, the manufacturer's own product page, SDS / TDS / COA / brochure links when listed
Context	Partner-brand flag, BioMall product ID, the keyword / brand / category that found it, its position

How to use it

Pick one or more of:

• Keywords: taq polymerase, agar, pipette tips, centrifuge tube. Searches the catalogues of BioMall's partner brands (Himedia, GeNei, Tarsons, BRAND, Borosil and others).
• Brands: whole brand catalogues from BioMall's brand stores, such as Himedia, Tarsons, GeNei, Abcam, Agilent, LOBA Chemie, MP Biomedicals or Macherey-Nagel. Add keywords to search inside each brand.
• Categories: PCR, Cell culture, Microbiology, Chemicals, Chromatography, Lab equipment and more.
• BioMall URLs: product pages (biomall.ai/product/… or biomall.in/product/…), brand pages or category pages.
• All products: walks BioMall's sitemap and reads every product page in turn, covering every brand, including non-partner brands such as LGC Standards.

Max products is the total for the run, shared fairly between your keywords, brands and categories.

A chemical from the full catalogue comes with its CAS number and certificate of analysis, for example Hydrocortisone 17-valerate, LGC Standards DRE-C14224050, CAS 57524-89-7, $129.00. Every row has the same columns; a value BioMall doesn't list is null.

Use cases

• Price comparison and procurement: compare list prices and pack sizes for the same reagent across brands.
• Distributor and sales intelligence: see which brands and catalog numbers BioMall carries in a category.
• Catalogue building: feed catalog numbers, CAS numbers, descriptions and images into your own e-commerce or LIMS.
• Compliance: collect SDS, TDS and COA links for the chemicals you stock.
• Market research: track prices for a category or brand over time with a scheduled run.

FAQ

Do I need a BioMall account, cookies or a login? No. The scraper reads the same public product information any visitor sees. It never logs in and never sends enquiries or quote requests.

Why does a brand return nothing? Brand catalogues are available for brands with a BioMall brand store (Himedia, Tarsons, GeNei, Abcam, Agilent and about 50 more). For other brands, use All products, keywords or product URLs. The run's status message says when a brand came back empty.

Which currency are prices in? The one BioMall shows, read from the price symbol: Indian rupees (₹) for most partner brands and US dollars ($) for some international catalogues. Prices are list prices; BioMall gives final prices on quotation.

How fast is it? Keyword, brand and category listings return 100 to 500 products per request. Product page details and the All products crawl read one product page per product, about 2 to 3 products per second.

Which proxy should I use? Keep the default (Apify Proxy, datacenter). It comes with every Apify plan, including the free one. If BioMall refuses datacenter IPs for a while, the run switches to residential proxies when your account has them, and carries on without them when it doesn't.

What does a run cost? You pay per product saved, per product page read for details, per keyword, brand or category listing, and a small fee per run. See the Pricing tab. Products or URLs that BioMall doesn't have are never charged.

Is it legal to scrape BioMall? This Actor only collects publicly available data: product listings that anyone can see on BioMall without an account, such as product names, brands, catalog numbers, prices and document links. Collecting publicly available data is generally legal, but you're responsible for how you use it. The data describes products, not people, and the scraper doesn't collect any personal information. You must follow privacy laws such as GDPR, PIPEDA and CCPA where they apply, as well as BioMall's terms. If you're unsure, check with a lawyer. More on this: Is web scraping legal?

Does it access any private data? No. Everything comes from information BioMall shows to any visitor without logging in. It never uses a login, never touches buyer, distributor or account pages, and follows the site's robots.txt.
