who it's for

Who needs product data scraping

A structured product catalog serves online stores, suppliers, resellers, analysts, and ML teams. Anyone who works with product content.

Online stores

Populate your catalog from a supplier's price list: specs, descriptions, and photos instead of manual entry.

Marketplaces and aggregators

Receive structured seller and supplier listings for your storefront, catalog, and matching.

Analysts and researchers

Study the market's assortment: the brands, attributes, and price segments represented in a niche.

ML and product teams

Build listing datasets with texts, attributes, and images for model training.

engagement models

Engagement models

Three engagement models to fit the task: a one-time extraction, recurring data delivery, or a custom solution. We price against your sources, volume, and frequency — the quote arrives before work starts.

One-time extraction
Base

Capture a catalog once: to populate a store, migrate, or analyze.

  • One or several data sources
  • Fields mapped to your structure
  • Delivery in CSV, Excel, JSON, or XML
  • Data cleaning and validation
Custom solution
Custom

Turnkey data as a service: API access, DaaS, or a ready-made interface, dozens of sources, and an SLA.

  • Access via API, DaaS, or web interface
  • Dozens or hundreds of sources
  • SLA for timelines and quality
  • Integration with your systems
transparent pricing

How pricing works

How much does product scraping cost? The total is built from clear factors, from the number of sources to the delivery format. We send a quote and a data sample before work begins.

Number of sources
How many websites and platforms we need to cover.
Data volume
The number of products, pages, and fields in each delivery.
Update frequency
One-time, daily, or hourly — more frequent checks mean a heavier load.
Source complexity
Dynamic pages, logins, and anti-bot protection.
Delivery format
A file, a refreshing feed, an API, or a ready web interface.
Extra processing
Matching, enrichment, translation, normalization, and deduplication.

What is product data scraping

Scraping is the automated collection of information from web pages. Product data scraping means collecting listings from online stores, marketplaces, and manufacturer websites: names, prices, specifications, descriptions, photos.

Put simply, a scraper visits a website like a regular shopper. The program reads the page code and pulls the product attributes you need into a table. A person spends several minutes copying a single listing. A scraper processes thousands of pages per hour and doesn't make mistakes.

Synonyms for the process: web scraping, data extraction, data harvesting. The programs themselves are called scrapers, parsers, or crawlers. We break down the terminology in our article on scraping, parsing, and crawling.

How product scraping works

The collection process looks like this:

  • the scraper walks the site's catalog, sections, and pagination;
  • opens each product page and reads its code;
  • extracts the fields you need: name, SKU, price, availability, specifications;
  • downloads images and documents;
  • writes everything into a table, feed, or database.

The data then goes through processing. Duplicates are removed. Values are mapped to a single schema. Validation filters out errors and empty fields.

The source website isn't harmed: request volume is capped and the load is spread over time. Project stages are shown in the process description below.

What we collect from online stores

The complete makeup of a product listing:

  • names, brands, SKUs, and barcodes;
  • prices, discounts, and availability;
  • specifications and attributes across every parameter;
  • descriptions and text content;
  • images, diagrams, and manuals;
  • categories, breadcrumbs, and catalog structure;
  • variations by size, color, and configuration.

Sources can be anything: online stores, manufacturer and supplier websites, B2B catalogs, PDF price lists. We scrape marketplaces worldwide:

  • major platforms: Amazon, Walmart, eBay;
  • European: Allegro, Zalando, Otto, Cdiscount, Bol.com, eMAG, Kaufland;
  • global: AliExpress, Etsy, Temu, Rakuten, MercadoLibre.

Listing structures and anti-bot protection differ from platform to platform. We configure the scraper for each marketplace individually and map the data to a single schema.

Raw data from different sites is incompatible. One store writes “1.5 L,” another “1500 ml.” We normalize values to a single schema. That removes the usual collection headaches: duplicates, mismatched units, incomplete listings. The catalog is ready to import with no manual cleanup. We showed how this works in our article on data normalization.

Populating an online store catalog

The most common scenario: populating an online store with products. The store has a supplier's price list. It contains only SKUs and prices. No specifications, descriptions, or photos.

We find those products on manufacturer websites and in open sources. We build complete listings from your list. Weeks of manual data entry turn into days.

Complete listings drive sales: shoppers find products through filters and compare specifications. Empty fields cut both conversion and search traffic.

Who else benefits from product scraping:

  • dropshippers and resellers: a supplier's catalog becomes an upload-ready feed for your storefront;
  • analysts: competitors' assortment structure by category and price segment;
  • services and apps: product databases with barcodes and images;
  • ML teams: datasets with product texts, attributes, and photos.

A real example: a DIY retail chain received a catalog of 300,000 plumbing listings with photos and 42 attributes in a single schema. Category managers spotted assortment gaps and added high-demand items.

How to import products into your store

We deliver the export in your platform's format:

  • CSV or Excel for manual import;
  • JSON or an XML feed for automated loading;
  • API for direct integration with your system;
  • image delivery: as files, an archive, or links.

The file arrives by email or in cloud storage. Feeds refresh on schedule. Your CMS import module picks up the data with no rework. We'll help set up imports for popular e-commerce platforms.

Need a one-time export? We'll run it once. Need a living catalog? We'll set up recurring updates: new items, price changes, and availability arrive as deltas.

Types of product scrapers

Collection tools fall into four groups:

  • off-the-shelf software and cloud services: a quick start, but template fields and hard limits;
  • browser extensions: fine for small one-off jobs; we compare them in our roundup of scraping extensions;
  • CMS modules: import products straight into your store engine; examples are covered in our articles on scrapers for OpenCart, Bitrix, and WordPress;
  • custom scripts: full flexibility, but they need development and maintenance; there's a separate guide on choosing a language.

For a review of ready-made scrapers and cloud services, see our overview of scraping tools.

We work on the fourth model — just without your involvement in development. Our team builds and maintains the scraper for every source. You get clean data, not software and its problems.

What we don't scrape

We only collect information that is openly published on the web. Out of scope:

  • data behind logins or paywalls;
  • personal data without a lawful basis;
  • third-party content for verbatim republishing.

Product information isn't restricted data. Prices, specifications, and availability are visible to every store visitor. We cover the legality question in the answers below.

What the service covers, and what related tracks handle

Product scraping covers listing collection and catalog preparation. Adjacent tasks fall outside the service and are handled by dedicated tracks:

Page-level SEO parameters and search results are collected by the data for SEO track. Datasets for model training are prepared by data for AI and ML. Every solution for stores lives in the “Data for e-commerce” section.

We have been collecting product data for e-commerce and analytics since 2015. A project manager replies within one business day. Before we start, we'll send a free sample: several listings from your sources with every field in place.

FAQ

Product scraping questions

If you don't see the answer you need, send a request: we reply within one business day.

Do you collect images?

Yes. Photos, diagrams, and documents: as archived files, as links, or uploaded straight to your storage.

What is attribute normalization?

Normalization maps specifications to a single schema: “1.5 L” and “1500 ml” become one value in one field. We align the schema with your CMS or PIM.

Can you collect product variations?

Yes — variations by size, color, and configuration are collected with a link to the parent listing.

How large a catalog can you collect?

Practically unlimited: we work with catalogs of millions of listings, images included.

How much does product scraping cost?

Projects start at $150. The final price depends on the number of products, the number of sources, update frequency, anti-bot complexity, and extra processing (factor breakdown above). We send an exact quote and a free data sample before work begins.

What can't be scraped?

Data behind logins or paywalls, personal data without a lawful basis, and third-party content for verbatim republishing. Public product information doesn't fall into those categories: prices, specs, and availability are visible to any visitor. Unsure about a source? Send us the link: we'll check it for free.

Is scraping legal?

Collecting publicly available information is not prohibited by law. A scraper requests the same pages any store visitor sees. What matters is how the data is collected and how the results are used.

We don't bypass logins or paywalls, we cap request rates, and we don't republish third-party content. Price monitoring and spec collection have long been standard practice in e-commerce. We work under a service agreement.

How do I populate my store with a supplier's products?

Send a price list with SKUs and the list of fields you need. We'll find those products on manufacturer websites and in open sources, collect the specs, descriptions, and photos, and deliver a file ready for your import module. From there the catalog can refresh on a schedule: new items and changes arrive on their own.

Do you collect competitor prices and reviews?

Within product scraping we capture prices and availability as of collection time. Recurring price tracking with history and alerts is covered by online store price monitoring, and marketplaces are dissected by marketplace monitoring. Reviews and ratings are collected by product review monitoring.
