What does the Best Buy Products Scraper collect?

It collects product names, SKUs, URLs, and available prices, images, specifications, ratings and reviews from Best Buy.

Which URLs should I use?

Use a BestBuy.com search or product URL, or a BestBuy.ca category or product URL. Paste the full HTTPS URL into startUrls.

Can I run more than one URL?

Yes. Add multiple entries to startUrls. maxProductsCnt limits saved rows across the whole run.

Will the run always return the requested product count?

maxProductsCnt sets a maximum. The saved count depends on what Best Buy returns, which rows qualify, and whether requests succeed.

Does the actor include reviews?

US products can include recent review entries in reviewsList. Use addTopReviews to control review text and maxReviews to limit it per product.

Why is a price or stock field blank?

Best Buy can omit price or availability for a SKU or region. Treat blank fields as unavailable for that run. Set skipZeroPrice to false to keep products explicitly priced at zero.

Do I need a proxy or API key?

The example runs use direct access without a Best Buy API key. You can supply your own proxy URLs through proxyConfig.proxyUrls if needed.

How can I export the dataset?

Export the Products dataset as JSON or CSV, or read it using the Bytewells API. JSON preserves nested fields such as reviews and specifications.

How is the rental billed?

The Actor rents for $19.99 USD per month. Bytewells bills compute separately, and your proxy provider bills any optional proxy usage.

What does Best Buy Products Scraper do?

Best Buy Products Scraper collects public product data from BestBuy.com and BestBuy.ca. Use the dataset to compare catalog entries, track prices where available, and analyze US product ratings and reviews.

What Best Buy data can you extract?

Product names, SKUs and product URLs.
Current, regular and sale prices when Best Buy supplies them. Keep US and Canadian prices separate.
Image URLs, brand, model, descriptions and specifications when the source provides them.
Availability, ratings, review counts and recent review entries where exposed. US review entries are stored in reviewsList on the product row.

How to use Best Buy Products Scraper

Paste one or more Best Buy links into Start URLs. Start with a US search or product page, or a Canadian category or product page.
Set Maximum products to 3 for a first run. The cap applies across the input URLs. Set 0 for all discovered products.
Run the Actor and open its Products dataset.

  "salePrice": 949.99,
  "regularPrice": 1199.99
}

Reviews, proxies and exports

addTopReviews controls US review text. maxReviews defaults to 10. Set it to 0 to request all available review pages, which can make a run longer.
skipZeroPrice defaults to true. Set it to false to include free promotions. A product can still have a missing price.
Bytewells runs can use direct access. If your network requires a proxy, supply your own URLs in proxyConfig.proxyUrls.
Export the dataset as JSON or CSV. Use JSON to preserve nested review and specification fields.

Coverage and limitations

The requested cap is a maximum. US prices can be blank even when product details and reviews are present. Some legacy promo or collection pages may return no rows. Availability reflects the data Best Buy exposes for the request and can vary by store. This is an independent tool.

Input

Preview of the input form. Rent the Actor to fill it in and start runs from the console.

Fields

Start URLs

startUrls

Enter full HTTPS URLs. Start with BestBuy.com search or product URLs, or BestBuy.ca category or product URLs. Some legacy promo and collection pages may return no results.

Proxy configuration

proxyConfig

Use direct access on Bytewells by default, or enter your own proxy URLs. Enable Apify Proxy only when the runtime has a compatible proxy configured.

Maximum products

maxProductsCnt

products≥ 0

Maximum number of products to save across all start URLs. Use 3 for a quick test, 100 for a normal run, or 0 to scrape all discovered products.

Add images

addImages

When enabled, product pages can include image URLs or image objects returned by Best Buy.

Add reviews

addTopReviews

When enabled, the actor fetches customer reviews for each product from Best Buy's reviews API in addition to the rating and review count.

Maximum reviews per product

maxReviews

reviews≥ 0

How many customer reviews to collect per product when Add reviews is enabled. Default 10 returns the most recent reviews from the first page. Set 0 to scrape ALL reviews (paginates through every review page - slower and more requests for products with thousands of reviews).

Skip free / zero-price items

skipZeroPrice

Skip products explicitly priced at zero. Products with an unavailable price can still be saved.

Best Buy Developer API key (optional)

bestBuyApiKey

Optional. Price is scraped from Best Buy's public priceBlocks endpoint by default, so a key is not required. If you provide a free key from https://developer.bestbuy.com/, the official Products API is used for price instead.

Max request retries

maxRequestRetries

times0–10

How many times a failed page, listing API, or product detail request is retried. Default 3 is recommended because Best Buy can occasionally return 403 or reset requests.

Minimum concurrency

minConcurrency

requests1–50

Minimum number of parallel requests. Keep this at 1 for stable small runs.

Maximum concurrency

maxConcurrency

requests1–50

Maximum number of parallel requests. Default 4 is conservative for Best Buy. Increase only with reliable US proxies.

Request timeout seconds

handleRequestTimeoutSecs

seconds5–120

Maximum seconds allowed for a single HTTP request and its handler. Increase this if Best Buy responds slowly through your proxy.

Legacy request timeout seconds

requestTimeoutSecs

seconds5–120

Backward-compatible alias for request timeout. New runs should use Request timeout seconds.

Legacy maximum products

maxProducts

products≥ 0

Backward-compatible alias for Maximum products. New runs should use maxProductsCnt.

Legacy proxy configuration

proxy

Backward-compatible alias for proxyConfig. New runs should use Proxy configuration.

API

Bytewells speaks the Apify API. Existing integrations keep working: point apify-client at https://bytewells.com/api and use your Bytewells API token (Console → Settings → API access). The Actor ID is codemasterdevops/bestbuy-products-actor (or codemasterdevops~bestbuy-products-actor in URLs).

JavaScript · apify-client

import { ApifyClient } from 'apify-client';

const client = new ApifyClient({
  token: process.env.BYTEWELLS_TOKEN,
  baseUrl: 'https://bytewells.com/api',
});

const input = {
  "startUrls": [
    {
      "url": "https://www.bestbuy.ca/en-ca/category/laptops-macbooks/20352"

  "skipZeroPrice": true,
  "maxRequestRetries": 3,
  "minConcurrency": 1,
  "maxConcurrency": 4,
  "handleRequestTimeoutSecs": 20
};

const run = await client.actor('codemasterdevops/bestbuy-products-actor').call(input);
const { items } = await client.dataset(run.defaultDatasetId).listItems();
console.log(items);

Python · apify-client

import os
from apify_client import ApifyClient

client = ApifyClient(os.environ["BYTEWELLS_TOKEN"], api_url="https://bytewells.com/api")

run_input = {
    "startUrls": [

    "skipZeroPrice": True,
    "maxRequestRetries": 3,
    "minConcurrency": 1,
    "maxConcurrency": 4,
    "handleRequestTimeoutSecs": 20
}

run = client.actor("codemasterdevops/bestbuy-products-actor").call(run_input=run_input)
items = client.dataset(run["defaultDatasetId"]).list_items().items
print(items)

Runs are billed as compute from your credit balance. Paid Actors need an active rental or trial; otherwise the API answers 402 rental-required.
