Overview
The Warehouse NZ Product Scraper
Scrape product listings from The Warehouse NZ by search term or category, up to a million per run. Each product comes with its price, availability, rating, and full details. No login or API key. Export to CSV, JSON, Excel, or XML.
The Warehouse NZ's website holds thousands of products across home, electronics, toys, and clothing, but browsing manually or checking stock one page at a time is slow. This scraper reads the public search and category feeds directly, so you can collect structured product data for price monitoring, assortment analysis, or market research. It returns every matched product in a consistent flat schema, ready for spreadsheets or databases.

| E-commerce managers | Monitor competitor assortment and stock availability in New Zealand. |
| Market researchers | Understand product trends and pricing strategies in the NZ retail market. |

Troubleshooting
Why am I getting no results?
Check your search term spelling or try a broader keyword. If using a category path, verify it matches a live URL on The Warehouse site. Some categories may have no products listed.
The scraper stopped before reaching my max items limit.
The scraper collects all products that match your query. If fewer products exist than your max items setting, it will finish early. This is expected behavior.
Some product prices are missing or show as zero.
The Warehouse website sometimes hides prices until you select a variant or size. The scraper captures the price as displayed on the search or category page. Check the product page directly if a price looks incorrect.
The sort order does not match what I see on the website.
The scraper sends the sort parameter to The Warehouse's API. Small differences can occur if the website applies additional client-side filtering. Try a different sort option or collect unsorted data and sort it yourself.
