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

Usage

The package offers two functions:

1. The search function gets all the items present on the listing page
2. The get_item function gets more information about an item, and its seller present on the item detail page.

If you want to parse and manage the scraped data directly you can use the raw functions.

Here's the two-way of how to use the package:

Structured Data

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

import vinted_scraper


def main():
    params = {
        "search_text": "board games"
        # Add other query parameters like the pagination and so on
    }
    items = vinted_scraper.search("https://www.vinted.com/catalog", params)  # get all the items
    item = items[0]  # get the first Item of the list
    vinted_scraper.get_item(item.url)  # get more info about a particular product


if __name__ == "__main__":
    main()

Structured Data are parsed and converted into a vinted_scraper.VintedItem object. If some attributes are None means that it wasn't found in the scrap. Also, I discard some attribute that I thought was useless.

Raw Data

To obtain the scraped data as a Dict, so you can:

import vinted_scraper


def main():
    params = {
        "search_text": "board games"
        # Add other query parameters like the pagination and so on
    }
    items = vinted_scraper.raw_search("https://www.vinted.com/catalog", params)  # get all the items
    item = items[0]  # get the first Item of the list
    vinted_scraper.get_raw_item(item["url"])  # get more info about the item


if __name__ == "__main__":
    main()
