Scraping online pharmacies in Canada — price & assortment monitoring
Online pharmacies in Canada: medicines, dosages, prices, availability and active ingredients in one structure.
Prices for identical medicines across online pharmacies in Canada diverge notably, and availability shifts daily. Scheduled scraping gives pharma companies and aggregators a live picture: where each item stands, at what price, in what stock.
There are 5 platforms here, led by iHerb, London Drugs, Shoppers Drug Mart by domain authority. Site size is not a constraint: catalogs with hundreds of thousands of SKUs and small stores are normalized to the same field schema, making sellers directly comparable.
Shelves in this list carry California Gold Nutrition, NOW Foods, Nature's Way, Garden of Life, Optimum Nutrition, Doctor's Best and other brands — every product is linked to its brand in the feed, so you can track brand presence and pricing across sellers.
We deliver data the way you need it: one-off price scraping or scheduled refresh, in Excel, CSV, JSON, XML, Google Sheets, REST API or straight into your database. We agree the field structure upfront and send a free sample first.

Top platforms: what gets scraped
Quick notes on the leaders of this list — any of them can be plugged into the same field structure.
For iHerb we set up recurring collection: medicine, form & dosage, prices. Cadence ranges from a one-off export to several refreshes a day.
On Well.ca we track the catalog and prices — form & dosage, prices — one-off or on a schedule. Delivered as a file, via API or straight into your database.
From Jean Coutu we usually extract prices, availability, dispensing status. The export arrives in the same structure as the rest of this list, so the data compares directly.
