🎉 Extract the entire Screwfix catalogue — both consumer (inc-VAT) and trade (ex-VAT) prices in GBP, in one clean dataset

Built for UK price-monitoring teams, trade buyers, marketplaces and product-data analysts

📋 Overview

Turn any Screwfix search or category into a structured product feed — prices, VAT breakdown, ratings, images, full specifications and stock status, exported as clean JSON, CSV or Excel.

Why professionals choose this scraper:

• ✅ Dual pricing: every product carries both the inc-VAT consumer price and the ex-VAT trade price, in GBP

• 🎯 Native search & filters: keyword search, category browsing, sorting and Screwfix's own facet filters (brand, voltage, and more)
• 💰 Pay-per-result: you're charged only for the products you actually receive — no wasted spend
• 💎 45+ fields per product: brand, model bullets, ratings, reviews, badges, promotions, gallery images, technical specs, kit contents and manual downloads
• ✨ No code, no account, no API key — paste a keyword and run

✨ Features

• 🔍 Keyword search — anything you'd type into the Screwfix search bar (cordless drill, kitchen tap, led light bulb)
• 🧭 Category browsing — sweep a whole category by its path (advanced)
• 💷 VAT-aware pricing — inc-VAT and ex-VAT prices, was-price, savings amount and savings %
• ⭐ Ratings & reviews — average star rating and review counts
• 📷 Image galleries — hero image in Overview, full gallery in Detail
• 📐 Full specifications — the complete technical specs table per product (Detail mode)
• 📦 Stock & fulfilment — delivery / collection eligibility, trade-counter stock, availability status

❓ Frequently Asked Questions

Q: How many products can I scrape? A: FREE tier: 25 per run. PAID tier: unlimited.

Q: Do I get both VAT-inclusive and VAT-exclusive prices? A: Yes — every product carries both the consumer inc-VAT price and the trade ex-VAT price, in GBP.

Q: What's the difference between Overview and Detail mode? A: Overview returns search/category results fast (price, rating, image, bullets). Detail also fetches each product page for the full specifications table, long overview, full gallery, kit contents and manual downloads.

Q: Can I filter by brand or sort results? A: Yes — use the sort option and facet filters (e.g. { "brand": "dewalt" }). Sorting and the full facet set apply best to category-path browsing.

Q: Is this legal? A: Yes — we only extract publicly available data. See the legal section below.

🐛 Troubleshooting

No products returned

• Check the keyword spelling, or try a broader term
• For category mode, confirm the path matches the /c/... segment from a Screwfix category URL

Fewer products than expected

• FREE tier caps at 25 products per run — upgrade for unlimited
• Some searches simply have fewer matching products

Filters not applying

• Facet filters and sorting apply best to category-path browsing; keyword searches use Screwfix's default relevance order
