## About

# E-commerce Product Scraping

Routes product-data tasks to the right scraper or build path. The goal is structured product rows — title, brand, price, MRP/list price, discount, rating, variants, image, URL — at the lowest cost per result.

## How storefronts expose product data

Most e-commerce sites embed full product JSON in the page, so you rarely need to parse HTML:

- **SSR / embedded JSON** — `__NEXT_DATA__` (Next.js), `__NUXT__`, `window.__INITIAL_STATE__`, or site-specific blobs (Myntra's `__myx`). Full structured catalog with no DOM parsing.
- **Internal search/PDP APIs** — open DevTools → Network → XHR while browsing; listings and product pages almost always fetch JSON you can call directly. Find the endpoint the page calls for itself rather than parsing HTML.
- **Stealth-browser-only** — a few storefronts sit behind Akamai or DataDome (Nykaa, Meesho, Tata Cliq) and serve a skeleton to HTTP clients. These need a hardened browser; intercept the XHR or walk product anchors rather than fighting hashed CSS-module class names.

**Key fields to capture:** `title`, `brand`, `price`, `mrp`/list price, `discount`, `rating`, `variants`/sizes, `availability`, `image`, `url`. MRP + discount together are what make a row useful for price/MAP monitoring.

## Run one

Each scraper takes a JSON input and returns product rows. Run synchronously from the CLI:

```bash
curl -X POST "https://api.apify.com/v2/acts/thirdwatch~amazon-product-scraper/run-sync-get-dataset-items?token=YOUR_APIFY_TOKEN" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "queries": ["wireless earbuds"],
    "maxResults": 25
  }'
```

Get a free token at [console.apify.com](https://console.apify.com/sign-up). Exact input fields are on each actor's Store page — input keys differ per site (search term vs. category URL vs. product URL).

## Build your own

No scraper for your target, or you need to own it? Start with the engineering skills in this collection:

- `web-scraping-playbook` — the build-vs-buy decision and the cost-first technique ladder (HTTP → TLS spoof → stealth browser).
- `anti-bot-scraping` — concrete bypasses for Akamai, DataDome, Cloudflare, PerimeterX (the protections in front of Nykaa, Meesho, Tata Cliq).
- `apify-actor-builder` — package it as a deployable, monetizable Apify Actor.
