google-shopping-scraper-api 0.1.3

Google Shopping Scraper can scrape and parse various Google Shopping page types to collect structured e-commerce data.

Google Shopping Scraper

As part of E-Commerce Scraper API, Google Shopping Scraper extracts timely e-commerce data in raw HTML or structured JSON format. The scraper offers a maintenance-free data collection infrastructure that automates the bulk of underlying processes, from sending HTTP requests to data parsing.

The underlying measures, such as proxies, ensure considerably fewer CAPTCHAs and IP blocks. The scraper supports localized results from almost any locale worldwide (195 countries) with country-level and postal code targeting.

Additionally, the scraper can automate recurring scraping and parsing jobs through Scheduler, load dynamic websites that use JavaScript for rendering content, and retrieve results via the API or directly to Google Cloud Storage or Amazon S3 storage bucket.

How it works

There are various page types we can scrape and parse on Google Shopping. You can either provide us with a full URL or a few input parameters via specifically built data sources (e.g. Search, Product, Product Pricing so we can form the URL on our end.

Overview

Below is a quick overview of all the available data source values we support with Google Shopping.

Source	Description	Structured data
google	Submit any Google Shopping URL you like.	Depends on the URL.
google_shopping_search	Search results for a search term of your choice.	Yes.
google_shopping_product	Product page of a product ID of your choice.	Yes.
google_shopping_pricing	List of offers available for a product ID of your choice.	Yes.

URL

The google source is designed to retrieve content from various Google Shopping URLs. Instead of sending multiple parameters and letting us form and scrape Google Shopping URLs, you can provide us with a URL to the required Google Shopping page. We do not strip any parameters or alter your URLs in any other way.

This data source also supports parsed data (structured data in JSON format), as long as the URL submitted links to a page that we can parse.

Query parameters

Parameter	Description	Default Value
source	Data source. More info.	google
url	Direct URL (link) to Google page	-
user_agent_type	Device type and browser. The full list can be found here.	desktop
render	Enables JavaScript rendering. More info.
callback_url	URL to your callback endpoint. More info.	-
geo_location	The geographical location that the result should be adapted for. Using this parameter correctly is extremely important to get the right data. For more information, read about our suggested geo_location parameter structures here.	-

Python code example

In this example, we make a request to retrieve a Google Shopping Search result for keyword adidas, as seen in New York, USA.

import requests
from pprint import pprint

# Structure payload.
payload = {
    'source': 'google',
    'url': 'https://www.google.com/search?tbm=shop&q=adidas&hl=en',
    'geo_location': 'New York,New York,United States'
}

response = requests.request(
    'POST',
    'https://realtime.oxylabs.io/v1/queries',
    auth=('user', 'pass1'),
    json=payload,
)

# Instead of response with job status and results url, this will return the
# JSON response with results.
