Vinted Scraper

A very simple Python package that scrapes the Vinted site to retrieve information about its items.

Installation

You can install Vinted Scraper using pip:

    pip install vinted_scraper

If you are on Python 3.6 you also have to install dataclasses: pip install dataclasses

Functions

The package offers the following functions:

search - (gets all the items present on the listing page)

Parameters

name	type	data type	description
params	optional	Dict	Query parameters like the pagination and so on

item - (gets the information about an item, and its seller present on the item detail page)

Parameters

name	type	data type	description
id	required	str	The unique identifier of the item to retrieve
params	optional	Dict	I don't know is they exist

Usage

To obtain the scraped data as a vinted_scraper.models.VintedItem, so you can:

import vinted_scraper.VintedScraper


def main():
    scraper = VintedScraper("https://www.vinted.com")  # init the scraper with the baseurl
    params = {
        "search_text": "board games"
        # Add other query parameters like the pagination and so on
    }
    items = scraper.search(params)  # get all the items
    item = items[0]  # get the first Item of the list
    scraper.item(item.id)  # get more info about a particular item


if __name__ == "__main__":
    main()

VintedScraper returns structured data that are parsed and converted into a vinted_scraper.models.VintedItem object. If some attributes are None means that it wasn't found in the response, maybe because they are returned from other API. Also, I discard some attribute that I thought was useless but feel free to open an issue or a PR to add them.

If you want to manage the JSON response directly, you should use the VintedWrapper object instead of VintedScraper.

Here's the way of how to use it:

import vinted_scraper.VintedWrapper


def main():
    wrapper = VintedWrapper("https://www.vinted.com")  # init the scraper with the baseurl
    params = {
        "search_text": "board games"
        # Add other query parameters like the pagination and so on
    }
    items = wrapper.search(params)  # get all the items
    item = items["items"][0]  # get the first Item of the list
    wrapper.item(item["id"])  # get more info about a particular item


if __name__ == "__main__":
    main()
