Case Study: Product Catalog Data Scraping from Coswick
The Challenge
Our client, a flooring distributor and design analytics firm, needed to extract complete product data, specifications, and images from the Coswick website. Their goal was to create a comprehensive product catalog for internal comparison, pricing analysis, and integration into their online retail system.
Hurdles We Faced
- Dynamic Product Pages: Product details and images were loaded asynchronously using JavaScript.
- Multiple Variations: Each product had different finishes, colors, and dimensions that needed to be grouped correctly.
- High-Resolution Assets: The site contained large media files requiring controlled download management.
- Anti-Bot Protection: Automated traffic was restricted, requiring advanced proxy and delay strategies.
Our Step-by-Step Approach
Requirement Analysis:
Identified key fields — product name, SKU, color, collection, finish, dimensions, and technical specifications.
Custom Scraper Development:
Developed a Python-based scraper that could parse product details, images, and variations efficiently while navigating dynamic elements.
Proxy Rotation & Anti-Bot Bypass:
Implemented rotating proxies, randomized request headers, and controlled crawling intervals to maintain stable performance.
Data Structuring & Cleaning:
Normalized all product data into a consistent, structured format, ready for direct integration into e-commerce systems.
WordPress Integration:
Created automation scripts to import products into WordPress, including product variations, gallery images, and specifications.
Results & Impact
- Extracted complete product catalogs with high-resolution images and full technical data.
- Enabled automated product imports, cutting manual workload by over 90%.
- Built a scalable pipeline for periodic catalog updates and pricing refreshes.
