Scrape Cromwell without running anything yourself

  1. You send

    Cromwell pages, filters, fields and a schedule

  2. We run the scrapers

    Built, monitored and repaired by our team

  3. You receive the data

    API, JSON feed or CSV, XLSX and JSON files

We run the whole job. You choose the scope - one of the top-level departments such as Hand Tools or Personal Protection & Clothing, a list of Cromwell SKUs or MPNs, a brand, or the Clearance Hub - and the refresh rhythm. We build the crawlers, keep them running and fix them when cromwell.co.uk changes its pages; access and anti-bot handling are part of our side of the work.

Start with a free assessment and a sample on your own product list. The dataset arrives with documentation for every column, including which prices are ex VAT and which include it, and runs can be one-off or daily, weekly or on demand.

Cromwell product data: what each row holds

Cromwell product addresses end in /p/ and the SKU, and the SKU itself is readable: a three-letter brand code followed by the item code, KEN for Kennedy, WDF for WD-40. Next to it the page shows the manufacturer's MPN, which we keep in its own column.

  • IdentitySKU, MPN, brand, product name, URL and the breadcrumb from department to leaf category.
  • Prices in GBPthe price ex VAT, the same price inc VAT, and whether the page offers trade prices ("Sign in for trade prices", "Trade Prices Available - Apply Here").
  • Stock and deliverythe In stock figure, exact for small quantities and capped at 50+ above that, or Available to order, or Available to order, or Available to order, the delivery promise (Next day delivery, FREE Next day delivery or Delivery by a stated date) and the order cut-off countdown.
  • Badges and restrictionsEXCLUSIVE BRAND, CLEARANCE and NEW flags, and the Online Restrictions Apply notice on items only trade customers can buy online, such as several WD-40 aerosols.
  • Product Specificationthe attribute table: EAN, ECLASS Code and UNSPSC Code alongside category attributes such as Spanner Size, Material, Finish/Coating or Overall Length.
  • Description blocksFeatures and Benefits, Typical Applications, Standards and warranty text, kept as separate fields.
  • Technical Documentationlinks to the Datasheet and to Safety Information sheets for chemicals, with their file names.
  • Range contextthe number of variations in the product family, Recommended Accessories and Alternative Products.

The EAN and the classification codes make Cromwell rows easy to join with a supplier feed or another distributor's catalogue.

Cromwell product data: what each row holds
Cromwell price list, product families and price history

Cromwell price list, product families and price history

Cromwell groups sizes and versions into product families with their own addresses under /f/. A family page shows the shared description once and then every variation, with filters built from the specification table - Spanner Size, Metric or Imperial, Overall Length (mm), Brand, Material - and a Sort By control set to Most Popular. A Show Unavailable setting adds the items that cannot be ordered right now, which a full Cromwell price list needs.

Search and category pages carry the same price, stock and delivery lines as the product page. Departments run from Abrasives and Cutting Tools to Fasteners & Fixings, Flow Control, Site Safety and Welding, Brazing & Soldering.

Repeated runs on the SKU give price history in both VAT views, show when an item joins the Clearance Hub or loses its NEW badge, and record how stock moves between an exact count and 50+. The branch finder adds the UK branch network as a separate table.

Cromwell is a British distributor of tools, personal protective equipment and maintenance supplies. Its own history page dates the business to 1968, opens the first shop in Leicester in 1970 and places the group headquarters and central stores in Wigston, Leicester. Its customers are mostly businesses, served through the website, a UK branch network and trade accounts, with dedicated sections for aerospace and defence and for international and export orders.

The site is UK-first in every detail. Prices are in pounds sterling and shown ex VAT by default, with a switch in the header that redisplays the whole catalogue inc VAT. Anyone can browse and buy most lines; a trade account gives access to trade prices, and some items, aerosols among them, can only be bought online by trade customers.

Cromwell sells national brands such as Stanley, Bosch, DeWalt, uvex, 3M and Bott alongside its exclusive brands. Kennedy and Kennedy Pro cover tools and Halo covers PPE; their items carry an EXCLUSIVE BRAND badge on listings, which makes the own-brand share of any category easy to measure.

Who uses a Cromwell dataset

For anyone who sells or buys industrial supplies in the UK, Cromwell's public prices are a benchmark that is hard to ignore.

  • UK price benchmarkingDistributors and manufacturers compare their own GBP prices with Cromwell's for the same MPN or EAN, on an ex VAT basis that matches trade quotes.
  • Own-brand pressureKennedy and Halo items priced next to branded equivalents show where Cromwell undercuts the names it also stocks.
  • Stock and service monitoringIn stock counts, next day promises and delivery dates reveal availability gaps across a category.
  • Clearance trackingCLEARANCE badges and the Clearance Hub show which lines are being run down, a hint of range changes to come.
  • Catalogue enrichmentEAN, ECLASS and UNSPSC codes, specification tables and datasheet links fill product records in a purchasing or PIM system.
  • Safety documentationSafety Information sheets for chemicals help procurement and health and safety teams keep their files complete.

About ScrapeIt

ScrapeIt is a team that builds and operates web data collection for clients who would rather receive the data than run the tooling. UK trade catalogues bring their own details - VAT views, trade prices, delivery cut-offs - and we document each of them in the dataset. Delivery options include Excel, CSV, JSON and XML files, Dropbox or Google Drive, Amazon S3 and our hosted API; an MCP server is available on request. Plans start from EUR 169 a month, or EUR 199 for a one-time extract.

FAQ

Still unsure? Write to info@scrapeit.io

Do you offer a Cromwell API for price and stock data?

Yes. The ScrapeIt Cromwell API returns the SKU, MPN, EAN, price ex and inc VAT, In stock figure and delivery promise as JSON from an endpoint we host, refreshed on the schedule you set. The same data can also come as CSV or XLSX files, a JSON feed or a direct load into your database.

Is it legal to scrape Cromwell?

Yes. Prices in both VAT views, stock figures, specification tables and datasheets are open to any visitor of cromwell.co.uk. We collect only publicly available data - everything a visitor can see on Cromwell - and we collect it legally.

Can you scrape Cromwell trade prices?

The public dataset carries the standard ex VAT and inc VAT prices every visitor sees and flags where trade prices are available. Trade prices themselves belong to a customer's trade account, so we collect them only when the project runs on your own Cromwell account.

How often should Cromwell stock and prices be refreshed?

Stock figures and delivery promises are the fastest-moving fields - the page counts down to the next order cut-off - so availability monitoring usually runs daily. Prices and the CLEARANCE and NEW badges move more slowly, and weekly runs are often enough for a price list. Each run is dated, which turns the files into price and stock history.

Do you collect the datasheets and Safety Information files?

Yes. We record the document links from the Technical Documentation section with their type, Datasheet or Safety Information, and can also deliver the PDF files themselves in a folder keyed by SKU. That keeps a product record and its documents together.
