Case Study: Product Data Scraping from Cali Floors
The Challenge
Our client, a flooring and interior design marketplace, needed to extract product details, pricing, specifications, and images from the Cali Floors website. The objective was to compile a complete flooring product catalog for comparison, pricing analysis, and resale listing automation.
Hurdles We Faced
- Dynamic Product Pages: Product variants and specifications loaded through dynamic JavaScript components.
- High-Resolution Images: Image URLs were embedded in nested JSON scripts, requiring custom parsing.
- Data Standardization: Product attributes like color, finish, and dimensions varied by category.
- Anti-Bot Protection: The website implemented request rate limits to prevent automated scraping.
Our Step-by-Step Approach
Requirement Analysis:
Outlined key data points — product name, SKU, category, color, finish, dimensions, pricing, and image URLs.
Custom Scraper Development:
Built a Python-based scraper using headless browser automation to handle dynamic content and hidden elements.
Proxy Rotation & Anti-Bot Measures:
Used rotating residential proxies, randomized headers, and request delays to maintain stable sessions.
Data Structuring & Cleaning:
Standardized data across product types, ensuring all details were clean, complete, and ready for import into e-commerce platforms like Shopify or WooCommerce.
Automation & Import Integration:
Configured scripts to automatically import scraped data into WordPress, creating product variations and structured listings.
Results & Impact
- Extracted complete flooring product catalog with specifications and HD images.
- Enabled automated product import and pricing updates into the client’s platform.
- Reduced manual data entry by over 95%, boosting efficiency and accuracy.
