Case Study: Product & Design Data Scraping from Thibaut Design
The Challenge
Our client, a luxury interior decor retailer, wanted to extract wallcovering, fabric, and furniture data from the Thibaut Design website. The goal was to compile a complete catalog with details like patterns, colors, materials, pricing, and images for integration into their eCommerce and design platforms. Manual data collection was time-consuming and unsustainable given Thibaut’s extensive catalog and frequent updates.
Hurdles We Faced
- Dynamic Product Pages: Many items were loaded dynamically through JavaScript and pagination.
- High-Quality Images: Each product featured multiple HD images that needed proper handling.
- Product Variations: Patterns and fabrics often had multiple colorways and finishes.
- Anti-Scraping Measures: The site used protection systems to restrict automated access.
Our Step-by-Step Approach
1. Requirement Analysis
Identified all necessary data points – product name, SKU, material, pattern, dimensions, colorway, price, and image URLs.
2. Custom Scraper Development
Built a Python-based scraper using Selenium for dynamic content rendering and BeautifulSoup for structured data extraction.
3. Proxy & Anti-Bot Setup
Integrated rotating proxies and intelligent delays to avoid detection and ensure uninterrupted data flow.
4. Data Cleaning & Structuring
Standardized all data into a clean, relational format ready for import into WordPress or custom databases.
5. Automation & Update Scheduling
Implemented automated scraping at regular intervals to keep product listings current with the latest releases.
Results & Impact
- Successfully scraped the complete Thibaut Design catalog, including all fabrics, wallpapers, and furnishings.
- Reduced manual data entry time by over 90%.
- Delivered well-structured, high-quality data ready for analytics and website integration.
