AboutYou Scraper - Product, Price and Stock Data

AboutYou opens on a feed built for each visitor, so there is no fixed catalogue to walk. We assemble it from the category tree, brand pages and sitemaps, market by market.

Delivery, schedules and scope

We run the crawler and you receive the data. Deliveries come as CSV, JSON, XLSX or Parquet, through an API, or as a scheduled push to S3, Google Cloud Storage, SFTP or a warehouse table you name. Schedules run hourly, daily or weekly depending on how fast the fields you care about move; a weekly full assortment refresh with daily price and size availability passes is a common shape.

Scope is yours to set: one brand catalogue across every market, a single category tree in one country, the sale paths only, or the whole German storefront. Column names are fixed to your schema so the feed lands in an existing pipeline without a mapping step, and we watch for layout changes and repair the parsers before a scheduled run breaks.

What we extract from an AboutYou product listing

A product record carries the merchandising detail a fashion team actually works with, labelled in German on the German storefront and in the local language elsewhere. A standard AboutYou extract covers:

  • Identity - product name, brand, the numeric product id from the URL and the Artikelnummer (article number) shown on the listing, which is the SKU-level code we key rows on between runs.
  • Price - the current price with its currency, the struck-through reference price where an item is marked reduziert (reduced), and the discount percentage as displayed.
  • Size and stock - the Größe (size) list with per-size availability, so a row shows that a style is live but sold out in 38 and 40 rather than carrying a single in-stock flag, and picking up the Ausverkauft (sold out) marker where a size has gone.
  • Colour variants - the Farbe (colour) swatches and the sibling product URLs behind them, kept as linked rows so a colourway can be rolled up to the style or read on its own.
  • Product attributes - material composition, care instructions, fit and cut, pattern, sleeve length and the other structured attributes published per category.
  • Images - the full image set for each colourway, delivered as URLs or as downloaded files at the resolution you ask for.
  • Placement - the category tree path the item sits under, its brand page, and any sale or campaign path it appears in.
  • Market - the storefront and currency each row came from, so one style can be lined up across countries.
  • Run timestamp - which turns repeat collections into a price and availability history rather than a snapshot.

Collection covers public product and pricing data only. We do not collect customer data, account data or order data.

What AboutYou scraping has to solve across 26 markets

What AboutYou scraping has to solve across 26 markets

Three things decide the shape of the crawl, and all three are ours to handle.

Personalisation. Because every market opens on a per-visitor feed, coverage cannot come from following the front page. We drive collection from the category tree, brand indexes and the published sitemaps, which are split by type into product, category, brand, brand-category, filtered-category and outfit files. In September 2026 the German product sitemap listed 1,000,072 product URLs across 21 shards, alongside 2,016 category URLs. Working from that spine gives a repeatable frame instead of whatever a session happened to be shown.

Rendering. A plain request to a product URL returns the application shell rather than the record; name, price and size availability are assembled in the browser. Our crawlers take the rendered state or the JSON the page loads for itself, so the row you receive matches what a shopper sees on that storefront.

Access. The site sits behind a CDN that filters automated traffic, and its robots file keeps crawlers off site search, off filter parameters and off category pagination past page three. Proxy rotation, CAPTCHA solving and adaptive request pacing are part of the managed service, so you never build or maintain that layer. We work only on pages a visitor can open without signing in.

About AboutYou and how its catalogue is organised

AboutYou is a Hamburg fashion platform launched in 2014 inside the Otto Group and now controlled by Zalando, which took the majority of its shares in 2025. It sells clothing, shoes and accessories through separate country storefronts across 26 European markets, each on its own domain: aboutyou.de, aboutyou.at, aboutyou.ch, aboutyou.pl, aboutyou.fr, aboutyou.it and the rest. The company puts the catalogue at around a million items from roughly 5,000 brands, shopped by more than 15 million active customers, mostly in the app.

The first thing that shapes any AboutYou scraper is that the storefront is personalised. Open the root of any market and you land on a per-visitor feed: /dein-shop in Germany, Austria and Switzerland, /jouw-shop in the Netherlands, /twoj-sklep in Poland, /votre-boutique in France, /tuo-negozio in Italy. There is no fixed front-page grid to walk, and the recommendation rails below it differ from one session to the next. A complete assortment has to be assembled from the stable paths instead: the category tree under /c/, brand pages, sale paths and the sitemaps the site publishes.

Those stable paths are well formed and worth knowing. Category URLs end in a numeric id, as in /c/frauen/accessoires/guertel-20218, and product URLs pair a brand slug with a numeric product id, as in /p/0039-italy/kleid-jakarta-9428645. That id is the join key that makes a price series line up week after week, even when a title or a category path is edited.

Why brand and retail teams scrape AboutYou

Most of the catalogue is third-party brands, so the same garment sits on shelves at other retailers too. For a brand's own commercial team that makes this a channel to watch: whether an agreed price is being held across 26 markets, how far the shelf price for the same article moves between Poland and France, which colourways a partner actually stocked and in which sizes. MAP and pricing policy checks run off the same feed. Retail competitors read it the other way, as a standing view of a rival assortment and its competitor pricing.

The own labels are a different exercise. EDITED, the ABOUT YOU label, RÆRE by Lorena Rae, ÉVOIR by Alena Gerber and the rest of the exclusive roster of more than twenty labels sell nowhere else, so there is no shared product code to match on. Lining those up against your own range runs on attributes instead: category, material, colour family, cut and price band. That is the work behind a private label comparison set.

Beyond price monitoring, buyers use the feed for assortment and gap analysis, brand catalogue completeness, size curve and stock level reads, new-arrival tracking by category, and sourcing images and copy for their own merchandising.

Working with ScrapeIt

ScrapeIt is a managed web scraping agency. We build the crawler, run it on your schedule, monitor it and fix it when the site changes. There is no library to install and no proxy pool to rent. You describe the fields and the cadence, we send a sample file within a few days, and once the schema is signed off the feed arrives on its own. Pricing is per project and scales with volume and frequency. Tell us the markets and categories you need and we will scope it.

FAQ

Does AboutYou have a public API for product data?

No. AboutYou does not publish an open product API that an outside company can query for its catalogue. SCAYLE, the commerce engine AboutYou built and licenses to other retailers, does document a Storefront API, but that serves merchants running their own SCAYLE shop rather than third parties who want aboutyou.de product and price data. A marketplace seller programme and affiliate feeds exist, and both are narrow in scope and tied to a commercial relationship. For a full assortment feed across categories and markets, scraping is the practical route, and we run it as a managed service.

Is it legal to scrape AboutYou?

AboutYou's terms of use are written for shoppers and deal with accounts, orders and returns; they are not a data licence and they neither grant nor withhold rights for a commercial data buyer. What we collect is the same public catalogue any visitor can open without signing in, and facts such as a price or a size are not themselves copyrightable. Images and product copy remain the property of the brand or the retailer, so how you use those is worth checking. Most clients run their own legal review before a project starts, and we are glad to answer questions from your counsel about method, scope and retention.

How often can you refresh AboutYou prices?

As often as the project needs. Price and per-size availability are the fields that move, so most feeds run a daily pass over the tracked set and a fuller assortment sweep weekly. Hourly is workable on a narrow watchlist, for example the sale paths of one brand in three markets. Wider scopes take longer per cycle simply because there are more pages to visit, and we size the crawl to the cadence you ask for rather than the other way round.

Can you scrape AboutYou in several countries at once?

Yes, and that is a common request. Each market runs on its own domain with its own assortment, currency and pricing, so aboutyou.de, aboutyou.pl and aboutyou.fr are collected as separate passes and merged on the product id. The result is one table with a market column, which is what you need to see the same article priced differently in two countries, or stocked in one and absent from another. Local field labels are normalised to your English column names on the way in.

What formats do you deliver AboutYou data in?

CSV, JSON, XLSX or Parquet, plus an API endpoint if you prefer to pull. Scheduled deliveries can land in Amazon S3, Google Cloud Storage, an SFTP drop or straight into a warehouse table. Images can come as URLs or as downloaded files. The schema is agreed before the first full run, so column names, currency handling and the way size availability is flattened are all set to match the system that will read the file.

How does it Work?

Step 1 - Make a Request

You share your needs, expectations, and desired timeframe. We’ll suggest the best solution based on your request and budget.

Step 2 - Configuring Custom Web Crawlers

Our specialists configure the crawlers and extract a sample dataset for your review before proceeding with the full-scale extraction.

Step 3 - Collect and Deliver

Once you approve the sample, we launch the project and start full data collection. We gather, filter, and structure the data for easy use, delivering it on time in your preferred format.

Step 4 - Maintain and Support

Our team manages ongoing processes, monitors website changes, and supports all data extraction cycles. We can also help integrate data into your systems or create dashboards to simplify analysis.
