Kruidvat Scraper -- Belgium & Netherlands Products, Prices & Deals

Scrape product data from Kruidvat.be (Belgium) and Kruidvat.nl (Netherlands) -- the Benelux's largest drugstore chain with over 1,200 locations. Get structured data on beauty products, personal care, baby items, health supplements, and household essentials at everyday low prices.

How to scrape Kruidvat data

Kruidvat Scraper supports both the Belgian and Dutch Kruidvat stores. Pick your country, enter a search query or category URL, and the scraper handles the rest. No login or cookies required.

What is Kruidvat?

Kruidvat is the dominant drugstore brand in Belgium and the Netherlands, owned by AS Watson Group. They stock thousands of products across beauty, personal care, health, baby, and household categories -- from EUR 1.99 shampoo to high-end skincare lines. Their aggressive promotions and "1+1 gratis" deals make price tracking especially valuable.

Who uses this scraper:

• Price comparison platforms -- Kruidvat sets the benchmark for drugstore pricing in the Benelux. Track their prices to power comparison features across beauty, health, and personal care.
• Brand managers & manufacturers -- Monitor how your products are priced and positioned at the biggest Benelux drugstore chain. Detect unauthorized discounting or track promotional cycles.
• E-commerce competitors -- If you run a pharmacy, beauty store, or health shop in Belgium or the Netherlands, Kruidvat is your pricing floor. Know when they run promotions before your customers do.
• Market researchers -- Analyze the Benelux drugstore market: category sizes, price distributions, brand representation, and seasonal patterns.
• Deal tracking & couponing -- Kruidvat's frequent promotions (1+1, 2e halve prijs, 25% korting) create opportunities for deal-focused content and apps.

Choose your country

Use the country input to switch between Belgium and the Netherlands:

{
"country":"BE",
"searchQuery":"shampoo",
"maxResults":100
}

{
"country":"NL",
"searchQuery":"shampoo",
"maxResults":100
}

Search by keyword

The fastest way to find specific products:

{
"country":"NL",
"searchQuery":"zonnebrand",
"maxResults":50
}

Browse a category

Scrape an entire product category. Grab category URLs from kruidvat.be or kruidvat.nl navigation:

{
"country":"BE",
"categoryUrl":"https://www.kruidvat.be/nl/haar/shampoo/c/20002",
"maxResults":200
}

{
"country":"NL",
"categoryUrl":"https://www.kruidvat.nl/haar/shampoo/c/20002",
"maxResults":200
}

If a categoryUrl is provided, it takes priority over the searchQuery.

Tip: Kruidvat's category tree is deep. Target leaf categories (like "Shampoo > Droog haar") for focused scraping, or parent categories (like "Haar") for broader coverage.

Input parameters

FAQ

Does this scrape Kruidvat Belgium or Netherlands? Both. Use the country input to select "BE" for kruidvat.be or "NL" for kruidvat.nl. The scraper automatically adjusts URLs and language headers.

Can I track promotions like "1+1 gratis"? The scraper captures originalPrice when a product is on promotion. The specific promotion type (1+1, 2e halve prijs, etc.) is reflected in the price difference but not as a separate field.

How do I find the right category URL? Browse kruidvat.be or kruidvat.nl, navigate to the category you want, and copy the URL from your browser's address bar. Category URLs follow the pattern /nl/{category}/c/{code}.

What language is the data in? Product data comes in Dutch. Belgian results use the kruidvat.be catalog, Dutch results use kruidvat.nl.

How often do Kruidvat prices change? Kruidvat runs weekly promotions (folder deals). Scraping weekly on Monday or Tuesday captures the new promotion cycle. Daily scraping catches flash deals.

Are Kruidvat's own-brand products included? Yes. Kruidvat eigen merk products appear in results like any other brand.

Limitations

• Product data is extracted from HTML. If Kruidvat changes their page structure, some fields may temporarily return empty.
• Kruidvat's in-store promotions and member-only deals may differ from what appears online.
• Stock status reflects online availability, not individual store inventory.
• Very large category scrapes may take longer due to pagination and per-product detail page visits.
