Surplus groceries and a membership boundary
Misfits Market is a United States online grocer selling surplus, imperfect and rescued food at a discount, delivered as a box built from a weekly rotating selection.
Two things shape any project here, and the first is a boundary. The shopping catalogue - the actual rotating inventory a member browses - sits behind a membership. It is not open to an unauthenticated request and we do not bypass memberships. A brief that assumes the full catalogue is collectable needs correcting before anybody is charged.
What is public is the programme structure: how the service works, category and product marketing pages, pricing structure, delivery coverage and the sustainability claims the business is built on. That is a smaller dataset and for several kinds of research it is the relevant one.
The second thing is rotation. Even behind the membership, the inventory is surplus-driven, which means it changes with what is available rather than following a fixed range. A conventional catalogue model does not describe it.
Crawl rules are published, allow the site broadly and ask for a one second delay between requests.
