Crawlbase Crawling API for Zoro Scraping

The Crawlbase Crawling API is perfect for scraping JavaScript-rendered websites like Zoro. It handles dynamic content, bypasses anti-scraping measures, and makes managing pagination simple.

To use Crawlbase, install its Python library using:

1
pip install crawlbase

After signing up for Crawlbase, retrieve your API token from the dashboard. This token is required for all requests. Crawlbase provides two types of tokens. A normal token for static sites and a JS Token for JS-rendered sites. For Zoro, you need a JS token. Crawlbase offers 1,000 requests free for its Crawling API for an easy start.

Crawlbase Crawling API allows you to render JavaScript with the ajax_wait option and handle slower page loads using page_wait. There are many other options you can use with Crawlbase Crawling API; you can read about them here.

Here’s how to fetch a Zoro search page:

from crawlbase import CrawlingAPI

# Initialize Crawlbase API
crawling_api = CrawlingAPI({'token': 'YOUR_CRAWLBASE_API_TOKEN'})

# Define parameters
options = {
    'ajax_wait': 'true',  # Ensure JavaScript content loads
    'page_wait': '2000',  # Wait 2 seconds for slow pages
}

# URL of Zoro search page
url = "https://www.zoro.com/search?q=tools&page=1"

# Fetch page with Crawlbase
response = crawling_api.get(url, options)

if response['headers']['pc_status'] == '200':
    html_content = response['body'].decode('utf-8')
    print("Data fetched successfully!")
else:
    print("Failed to fetch data.")

This configuration sets the stage for building scrapers for Zoro’s listings and product pages.

Preparing for Zoro Data Scraping

Before you start scraping Zoro, you need to set up your environment with the right tools and libraries. This will guide you step by step to get you started.

Tools and Libraries Required

To scrape Zoro, you will need:

  1. Python: Due to its ease of use and robust libraries, Python is one of the best languages for web scraping.
  2. Crawlbase Python Library: This will help you make Crawlbase Crawling API calls.
  3. BeautifulSoup: A Python library for parsing HTML and extracting data from it.

Installing Python and Required Libraries

If you don’t have Python installed, download it from here: Python.org. Once installed, you can use pip to install the libraries. Run the following commands in your terminal:

1
2
pip install crawlbase
pip install beautifulsoup4

These libraries will allow you to interact with the Crawlbase Crawling API, parse the HTML content from Zoro, and handle requests effectively.

How to Choose the Right IDE for Web Scraping

For writing your scraping script, you can use any Integrated Development Environment (IDE) or text editor. You can pick between some of the popular ones, like VS Code, PyCharm, and Jupyter Notebooks.

Scraping Zoro Search Listings

Scraping the Zoro search listings involves identifying key data points, writing a Python scraper, handling pagination, and storing the data in a structured format. Let’s break it down step by step.

Inspecting HTML to Identify Selectors

To extract the required data, inspect the HTML structure of Zoro’s search results page:

  1. Open the Page: Visit a Zoro search results page (e.g., for “tool box”).
  2. Inspect the Elements: Right-click on the page and select Inspect to open Developer Tools.

  1. Locate Elements: Use the DOM explorer to find the CSS selectors for:
  • Brand Name: Found inside a <span> tag with the class brand-name.
  • Product Title: Found inside a <div> tag with the class product-title.
  • Price: Found inside a <div> tag with the class price.
  • Product URL: Found in the href attribute of an <a> tag nested within a
    tag with the class product-title.
  • Product Image: Found in the src attribute of an <img> tag with the data attribute data-za="product-image".

Writing the Search Listings Scraper

Use the Crawlbase Crawling API to handle JavaScript rendering. Here’s the Python scraper:

        print(f"Failed to fetch page {page_number}. Status: {response['headers']['pc_status']}")
        return []

Handling Pagination

Zoro uses the page parameter for pagination. You can loop through the pages until a set number of pages is reached or stop automatically when no more data is found on a page.

        if not page_data:
            print("No more data found. Stopping pagination.")
            break

        all_data.extend(page_data)

        # Stop if the maximum page limit is reached
        if max_pages and page > max_pages:
            print(f"Reached the maximum limit of {max_pages} pages.")
            break

    return all_data

Storing Scraped Data in a JSON File

Save the collected data in a JSON file for easy access:

def save_to_json(data, filename='zoro_listings.json'):
    with open(filename, 'w') as f:

Scraping Zoro Product Pages

Scraping product pages on Zoro allows you to extract in-depth information about individual products, such as descriptions, specifications, and reviews. Let’s break this section into actionable steps.

Understanding Product Page Structure

To scrape data effectively, use browser Developer Tools to inspect key elements and identify their unique CSS selectors.

A screenshot of Zoro Product Page - HTML inspection structure

Key elements to look for:

  • Product Title: <h1> tag with data-za="product-name".
  • Price: <div> tag with data-za="product-price".
  • Product Description: <div> with class product-description, nested <div> with class description-text.
  • Specifications: Rows in a <table> within <div class="product-details-info">, with two <td> elements per row.
  • Product Images: <img> tags in <div class="product-images">, with class product-image.
