Crawlbase Crawling API for Tokopedia Scraping

The Crawlbase Crawling API makes scraping Tokopedia fast and straightforward. Since Tokopedia’s website uses dynamic content, much of the data is loaded via JavaScript, making it challenging to scrape with traditional methods. But Crawlbase Crawling API renders the pages like a real browser so you can access the data.

Here’s why Crawlbase Crawling API is good for scraping Tokopedia:

  • Handles Dynamic Content: Crawlbase handles JavaScript heavy pages so all product data is fully loaded and ready to scrape.
  • IP Rotation: To prevent getting blocked by Tokopedia’s security systems, Crawlbase automatically rotates IPs, letting you scrape without worrying about rate limits or bans.
  • Fast Performance: Crawlbase allows you to efficiently scrape massive amounts of data while saving time and resources.
  • Customizable Requests: You can change the headers, cookies and control requests to fit your needs.

With these features, Crawlbase Crawling API makes scraping Tokopedia easier and more efficient.

Crawlbase Python Library

Crawlbase also provides a Python library to make web scraping even easier. To use this library you will need an access token that you can get by signing up to Crawlbase.

Here’s an example function to send a request to Crawlbase Crawling API:

# Initialize Crawlbase API with your access token
crawling_api = CrawlingAPI({ 'token': 'YOUR_CRAWLBASE_TOKEN' })

def make_crawlbase_request(url):
response = crawling_api.get(url)

if response['headers']['pc_status'] == '200':
html_content = response['body'].decode('utf-8')
return html_content
else:
print(f"Failed to fetch the page. Crawlbase status code: {response['headers']['pc_status']}")
return None

Note: Crawlbase provides two types of tokens. Normal Token for static sites. JavaScript (JS) Token for dynamic or browser-rendered content, which is required for scraping Tokopedia. Crawlbase offers 1,000 free requests to help you get started, and you can sign up without a credit card. For more details, refer to the Crawlbase Crawling API documentation.

In the next section, we’ll learn how to setup Python environment for Tokopedia scraping.

Setting Up Your Python Environment

To start scraping Tokopedia, you need to setup your Python environment. Follow these steps to get started:

Installing Python and Required Libraries

Make sure Python is installed on your machine. You can download it here. After installation, run the following command to install the necessary libraries:

1
pip install crawlbase beautifulsoup4
  • Crawlbase: For interacting with the Crawlbase Crawling API to handle dynamic content.
  • BeautifulSoup: For parsing and extracting data from HTML.

These tools are essential for scraping Tokopedia’s data efficiently.

Selecting an IDE

Choose an IDE for seamless development:

Once your environment is set up, you can begin scraping Tokopedia. Next, we’ll cover how to create Tokopedia SERP Scraper.

Scraping Tokopedia Search Listings

Now that you have your Python environment ready, we can start scraping Tokopedia’s search listings. In this section, we’ll guide you through inspecting the HTML, writing the scraper, handling pagination and storing the data in a JSON file.

Inspecting the HTML Structure

First, you need to inspect the HTML of the Tokopedia search results page from which you want to scrape product listings. For this example, we’ll be scraping headset listings from the following URL:

1
https://www.tokopedia.com/search?q=headset

Open the developer tools in your browser and navigate to this URL.

Here are some key selectors to focus on:

  • Product Title: Found in a <span> tag with class OWkG6oHwAppMn1hIBsC3pQ== which contains the name of the product.
  • Price: In a <div> tag with class ELhJqP-Bfiud3i5eBR8NWg== that displays the product price.
  • Store Name: Found in a <span> tag with class X6c-fdwuofj6zGvLKVUaNQ==.
  • Product Link: Product page Link found in an <a> tag with class Nq8NlC5Hk9KgVBJzMYBUsg==, accessible via the href attribute.

Writing the Search Listings Scraper

We’ll write a function that makes a request to the Crawlbase Crawling API, retrieves the HTML, and then parses the data using BeautifulSoup.

Here’s the code to scrape the search listings:

from crawlbase import CrawlingAPI
from bs4 import BeautifulSoup
import json

# Initialize Crawlbase API with your access token
crawling_api = CrawlingAPI({ 'token': 'YOUR_CRAWLBASE_TOKEN' })

# Function to get HTML content from Crawlbase
def fetch_html(url):
options = {
'ajax_wait': 'true',
'page_wait': '5000'
}
response = crawling_api.get(url, options)
if response['headers']['pc_status'] == '200':
return response['body'].decode('utf-8')
else:
print(f"Failed to fetch page. Status code: {response['headers']['pc_status']}")
return None

# Function to parse and extract product data
def parse_search_listings(html):
soup = BeautifulSoup(html, 'html.parser')
products = []

for product in soup.select('div[data-testid="divSRPContentProducts"] div.css-5wh65g'):
name = product.select_one('span.OWkG6oHwAppMn1hIBsC3pQ\\=\\=').text.strip() if product.select_one('span.OWkG6oHwAppMn1hIBsC3pQ\\=\\=') else 'N/A'
price = product.select_one('div.ELhJqP-Bfiud3i5eBR8NWg\\=\\=').text.strip() if product.select_one('div.ELhJqP-Bfiud3i5eBR8NWg\\=\\=') else 'N/A'
store = product.select_one('span.X6c-fdwuofj6zGvLKVUaNQ\\=\\=').text.strip() if product.select_one('span.X6c-fdwuofj6zGvLKVUaNQ\\=\\=') else 'N/A'
product_url = product.select_one('a.Nq8NlC5Hk9KgVBJzMYBUsg\\=\\=')['href'] if product.select_one('a.Nq8NlC5Hk9KgVBJzMYBUsg\\=\\=') else 'N/A'

products.append({
'name': name,
'price': price,
'store': store,
'product_url': product_url
})

return products

This function first fetches the HTML using the Crawlbase Crawling API and then parses the data using BeautifulSoup to extract the product information.

Handling Pagination in Tokopedia

Tokopedia’s search results are spread across multiple pages. To scrape all listings, we need to handle pagination. Each subsequent page can be accessed by appending a page parameter to the URL, such as ?page=2.

Here’s how to handle pagination:

1
2
3
4
5
6
7
8
9
10
11
12
13

# Function to scrape multiple pages of search listings
def scrape_multiple_pages(base_url, max_pages):
all_products = []

for page in range(1, max_pages + 1):
paginated_url = f"{base_url}&page={page}"
html_content = fetch_html(paginated_url)

if html_content:
products = parse_search_listings(html_content)
all_products.extend(products)
else:
break

return all_products

This function loops through the search result pages, scrapes the product listings from each page, and aggregates the results.

Storing Data in a JSON File

After scraping the data, you can store it in a JSON file for easy access and future use. Here’s how you can do it:

1
2
3
4
5
# Function to save data to a JSON file
def save_to_json(data, filename='tokopedia_search_results.json'):
with open(filename, 'w') as json_file:
json.dump(data, json_file, indent=4)
print(f"Data saved to {filename}")

In the next section, we’ll cover scraping individual product pages on Tokopedia to get detailed information.

Scraping Tokopedia Product Pages

Now that we have scraped search listings, let’s move on to scraping product details from individual product pages. In this section, we will scrape product name, price, store name, description and image URL from a Tokopedia product page.

Inspecting the HTML for CSS Selectors

Before we write the scraper, we need to inspect the HTML structure of the product page to find the correct CSS selectors for the data we want to scrape. For this example, we’ll scrape the product page from the following URL:

1
https://www.tokopedia.com/thebigboss/headset-bluetooth-tws-earphone-bluetooth-stereo-bass-tbb250-beige-8d839

Open the developer tools in your browser and navigate to this URL.

A screenshot of Tokopedia product page HTML structure

Here’s what we need to focus on:

  • Product Name: Found in an <h1> tag with the attribute data-testid="lblPDPDetailProductName".
  • Price: The price is located in a <div> tag with the attribute data-testid="lblPDPDetailProductPrice".
  • Store Name: The store name is inside an <a> tag with the attribute data-testid="llbPDPFooterShopName".
  • Product Description: Located in a <div> tag with the attribute data-testid="lblPDPDescriptionProduk" which contains detailed information about the product.
  • Images URL: The main product image is found within a <button> tag with the attribute data-testid="PDPImageThumbnail", and the src attribute of the nested <img> tag (class css-1c345mg) contains the image link.

Writing the Product Page Scraper

Now that we have inspected the page, we can start writing the scraper. Below is a Python function that uses the Crawlbase Crawling API to fetch the HTML and BeautifulSoup to parse the content.

# Extracting Product Data
product_data = {}
product_data['name'] = soup.select_one('h1[data-testid="lblPDPDetailProductName"]').text.strip()
product_data['price'] = soup.select_one('div[data-testid="lblPDPDetailProductPrice"]').text.strip()
product_data['store_name'] = soup.select_one('a[data-testid="llbPDPFooterShopName"]').text.strip()
product_data['description'] = soup.select_one('div[data-testid="lblPDPDescriptionProduk"]').text.strip()
product_data['images_url'] = [img['src'] for img in soup.select('button[data-testid="PDPImageThumbnail"] img.css-1c345mg')]

return product_data
else:
print(f"Failed to fetch the page. Status code: {response['headers']['pc_status']}")
return None

Storing Data in a JSON File

After scraping the product details, it’s good practice to store the data in a structured format like JSON. Here’s how to write the scraped data into a JSON file.
