Case Study: Product Data Scraping from Happy Floors
The Challenge
Our client, a tile distribution and design analytics firm, wanted to extract complete product data from Happy Floors, including product names, series, colors, finishes, sizes, and technical specifications. The goal was to create a unified product catalog for competitive analysis and digital showroom integration. Manual extraction was time-consuming and unable to keep up with frequent updates to the site’s catalog.
Hurdles We Faced
- Dynamic Product Listings: Product data and images were loaded through JavaScript-based components.
- High Volume of Variations: Each collection had multiple tiles with unique sizes, textures, and finishes.
- Inconsistent Data Formatting: Product attributes varied across categories.
- Anti-Bot Measures: The platform restricted repetitive scraping activity.
Our Step-by-Step Approach
Requirement Analysis:
Defined key fields – product name, series, color, size, finish, images, and specifications.
Custom Scraper Development:
Built a Python-based scraping solution that systematically navigated through all product categories and extracted detailed tile data.
Proxy & Anti-Bot Handling:
Integrated rotating proxies and randomized request patterns to ensure smooth, uninterrupted scraping.
Data Cleaning & Structuring:
Standardized product attributes into a consistent schema for easier integration into the client’s database or WordPress store.
Automation & Scheduling:
Set up automated scraping schedules to refresh data and sync new product additions regularly.
