🛒 John Lewis product scraper for product data

John Lewis Product Scraper collects public product and variant data from John Lewis. Add product URLs, category URLs, search URLs, plain search terms, or brand names, then export product titles, prices, availability, variants, images, ratings, specifications, category context, source URLs, and scrape timestamps.

Use this John Lewis product scraper when you need UK retail product data for price checks, stock monitoring, catalogue research, assortment reports, or repeat ecommerce workflows. It saves one dataset row per accepted product or variant, so colour and size variants can be tracked separately when John Lewis exposes them.

For a small first run, keep the prefilled search, set Product limit to 25, and leave Page limit per target at 1. Review the dataset, then raise the limits for larger searches or scheduled monitoring.

✅ What this Actor does

• Scrapes public John Lewis product, search, brand, and category pages.
• Accepts John Lewis product URLs, category URLs, brand URLs, search URLs, search terms, and brand names.
• Saves one row per visible product or variant when variant data is available.
• Extracts product title, brand, product URL, product ID, variant URL, variant ID, SKU, product code, colour, size, and source metadata.
• Extracts current price, previous price, price range, currency, availability, stock flags, and promotion text when visible.
• Extracts ratings, review counts, main image URL, image URL arrays, breadcrumbs, category paths, descriptions, specifications, dimensions, and weight when John Lewis shows them.
• Stops at your maxItems limit across the run.
• Works with Apify dataset exports, API clients, schedules, webhooks, and integrations.
• Runs without a John Lewis login, cookies, or a user-provided API key.

The Actor focuses on public John Lewis product data. It does not scrape non-John-Lewis retailers, private account data, checkout data, delivery slots, historical prices, or customer review text.

💳 Pricing

This Actor uses pay-per-event pricing. You are charged $0.00445 for each product or variant collected, which is $4.45 per 1,000 saved rows.

If a run starts but no products are saved, there is no product charge from this Actor's primary event. Keep the product limit low for your first run, check the output, then raise it for larger jobs.

⚠️ Limits and caveats

John Lewis can show different fields for different product types. Some products may not have variants, previous prices, reviews, specifications, descriptions, or multiple images. The Actor leaves those fields empty instead of inventing values.

Search terms and brand names are resolved through John Lewis search. For precise category filters, paste the exact John Lewis category, brand, or search URL you want to scrape.

This Actor captures the public product data visible at run time. It does not store historical prices by itself, but you can schedule repeat Apify runs and compare datasets over time.

❓ FAQ

🔎 Does this scrape product pages or only listing pages?

It can start from both. Product URLs return product or variant rows directly. Search, category, brand, and plain-text targets collect visible product and variant data from listing pages.

🗂️ Can I scrape a specific John Lewis category?

Yes. Paste the John Lewis category URL into Product targets and set your product and page limits.

📦 Does it include unavailable products?

Yes, by default. Turn off Include unavailable products if you only want products and variants that John Lewis marks as available when they are visible in the source.

🔐 Do I need a John Lewis account?

No. The Actor only uses public product surfaces and does not ask for John Lewis credentials, cookies, or a user API key.
