Overview
Chewy.com Product Scraper
Scrape Chewy.com product listings by keyword, up to a million per run. Every result includes the price, autoship savings, rating, review count, and stock status. No login or API key. Export to CSV, JSON, Excel, or XML.
Chewy.com has no public product API, so tracking prices, ratings, and autoship deals across thousands of pet supplies means manual browsing or brittle custom scripts. This Actor searches Chewy by keyword, reads every matching product card, and returns a clean dataset you can filter and export in minutes. It handles pagination and rate-limiting so you get consistent results without building a scraper yourself.

| E-commerce analysts | Track autoship discount patterns across pet food categories. |
| Dropshippers and resellers | Build a product feed of in-stock Chewy items with current prices. |
| Pet industry journalists | Gather pricing data for market reports on pet supplies. |

Use with AI agents (MCP)
Give an AI agent live access to Chewy.com through the Model Context Protocol. Add the Actor to Claude, Cursor, or any MCP client:

Then prompt it in plain language to run the scraper and read back the results.
Troubleshooting
Why am I getting no results?
Chewy may not carry products matching that exact keyword. Try a shorter or more general term, like "dog food" instead of "grain-free senior small-breed kibble".
The run stopped before reaching my maxItems limit.
Chewy returned fewer search results than your limit. The Actor collects every available match and stops. Try a broader keyword to get more products.
Some products are missing the autoship price.
Not every product on Chewy offers an autoship discount. When the search results page shows no autoship price, that field is left empty in your dataset.
The rating or review count is blank for some products.
Products with no reviews yet will have empty rating and review count fields. This is expected for new or unrated items.
My run timed out.
Large searches with a high maxItems value can take time. Increase the run timeout in your Actor settings, or lower maxItems and run multiple searches.
FAQ
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Can I scrape a specific Chewy category or URL instead of a search term? | This Actor is built for keyword search. To scrape a category page, pass the category name as your search term. Direct URL input is not supported in this version. |
| Does it collect product descriptions and images? | The Actor returns the data visible on the search results page: price, autoship price, rating, review count, and stock status. Full descriptions and image URLs require a product-page scraper. |
| How many products can I scrape in one run? | You set the maximum with the maxItems field, up to 1,000,000 products. The Actor stops when it hits your limit or runs out of search results. |
| Is the autoship price always included? | Yes, when Chewy shows an autoship discount on the search results page, the Actor captures both the regular price and the autoship price. If no autoship price is displayed, that field will be empty. |
| Does this Actor handle Chewy's rate limiting? | Yes, it manages request timing and retries automatically so your run completes without manual intervention. |
| Can I run this on a schedule? | Yes, you can set up an Apify schedule to run the Actor hourly, daily, or weekly with the same search term and item limit. |
| What output formats are supported? | You can export your dataset as CSV, JSON, Excel, or XML from the Apify run detail page or via the API. |
| Does it work for Chewy's Canadian site or other regions? | This Actor targets the US Chewy.com site. Regional domains are not currently supported. |
| Can I filter results by brand or price inside the Actor? | The Actor returns all search results up to your maxItems limit. Filtering by brand, price range, or rating happens after export, in your spreadsheet or database. |
| What happens if my search term returns no results? | The run completes with an empty dataset. Check your spelling or try a broader keyword. |
