Target Shop Scraper

Overview

This Apify Actor scrapes real-time product availability and store information from Target.com. Provide product identifiers and a zip code, and it returns detailed stock status, pickup options, and shipping details for nearby Target stores.

Key Features

• Scrapes product availability: Fetches in-store stock status, order pickup, curbside, and ship-to-store availability.
• Location-based: Uses a provided zip code to find and return data for nearby stores, including distances and addresses.
• Flexible input: Accepts an array of Target product URLs or TCINs (Target's unique product identifiers).
• Built for reliability: Uses Scrapy for speed and includes proxy support (defaulting to Apify residential proxies) and error handling to manage rate limits.
• Structured output: Returns clean JSON data, ready for integration into databases or analytics tools.
