Scraping marketplaces in South Africa — price & assortment monitoring
Marketplace catalogs, buybox prices, seller offers and reviews in South Africa — in one structure, refreshed as often as you need.
On marketplaces in South Africa a single product card hides dozens of offers from different sellers. We unfold that structure — cards, offers, delivery costs and seller ratings — so you see the whole competitive field, not just the displayed price.
There are 6 platforms here, led by AliExpress, Temu, Takealot 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 Xiaomi, Samsung, Baseus, Anker, Ugreen, Lenovo and other brands — every product is linked to its brand in the feed, so you can track brand presence and pricing across sellers.
Delivery is tailored to the task: from a one-off Excel/CSV file to a stream of updates via API or into your DBMS. We start with a free data sample — you verify structure and quality before any payment.
