How to Scrape Prices from a Website

🔗 Step 1: Set up URL

Make sure the product page displays a price for scraping. Then copy the URL and paste it into the URL field.

🧱 Step 2: Define Structure using Prompt

Use the Prompt field to let the Extractor automatically create a column structure for you.
To scrape price of any e-commerce product, try a prompt like: "Scrape the Name and Price of the Product" and click Extract
The Extractor will then generate a set of columns for you.

💎 Step 3: Refine Structure using Columns

Column Name

The Extractor uses columns as the foundation of the structure. If you need something more detailed than just the product name and price, make sure there're columns created for every field you want to scrape (e.g., price, discount, description, amount, etc.).

Column Prompt

Use the column prompt to refine your results:

Clarify what data you want and where to find it if there’s any chance of misinterpretation.
- Example: "Scrape price of the product, which is located near the product title."

Customize how the data should appear in the output.
- Example: "Scrape discount percentage; if none exists, return 'no discount'."

🤖 Bonus Step 4: Generate Price Scraper

If you need to scrape prices from many products which is common for price scraping since product pages usually share the same layout. We recommend generating a price scraper for that specific page template. Price scraper makes your scraping of prices much more efficient and feesable
