Home Depot Scraper

Overview

This actor scrapes search results from Home Depot's website. You provide a search term, a result limit, and a U.S. ZIP code, and it returns structured product data. It's useful for price monitoring, inventory tracking, and market research.

Key Features

• Search-Based Scraping: Extracts data from Home Depot search results pages.
• Localized Results: Uses a U.S. ZIP code to show product availability and pricing for your area.
• Structured Output: Returns clean JSON data for easy integration and analysis.
• Data Points Scraped:
  • Product title, category, brand, and ID
  • Price, average rating, and review count
  • Availability and fulfillment options (pickup/delivery)
  • Product image URL and return policy

How to Use

1. Run the actor on the Apify platform.
2. Configure the input parameters (see below).
