E-commerce
Marketplace scraping
On a marketplace a product has no single price but as many prices as it has sellers, and the one that wins the basket changes during the day. It is that movement you have to capture, not one moment's label.
Data we extract
- Product reference and variants
- Price per seller and shipping cost
- Seller selected by default for the basket
- Availability and quoted lead time
- Product rating and review count
- Product rank within its category
- Reconstructed price history
Example use cases
- Price monitoring against resellers
- Detecting sales outside the authorised network
- Tracking competitive position
- Automated repricing
Framework & ethics
We work with publicly accessible data, at a controlled pace so as not to disturb the sites we consult. Defining the uses is your responsibility, and we advise you on it.
Other kinds of site we collect
Retailer online stores
E-commerce
A retailer sells its own products, at its own price, with stock that differs from one store to the next.
Property listings
Real estate
Listing portals publish tens of thousands of properties every day, and pull them just as fast.
Estate agency networks
Real estate
A network's own site does not publish what a portal publishes: it shows a portfolio, a fee scale, a web of branches and the negotiators who run them.
Vehicle listings
Motoring
A used car's price means nothing on its own: it hangs on the model year, the mileage, the trim and who is selling.
Valuations and spec sheets
Motoring
A valuation and a listing say different things: one gives a reference value, the other an asking price.
Job postings
Hiring
The same role appears on several sites under three different titles, then vanishes without notice.
Salaries and employer reviews
Hiring
What a role pays, and what people think of the employer, are not in the job ad.
Tourist accommodation
Travel
A nightly price does not exist outside a date.
All kinds in the same sector: E-commerce scraping
