Zalando scraper for prices, sizes and stock across country shops

Zalando data: what each article row holds

A Zalando article page looks short, and most of its detail sits in folded sections - Material & care, Details and Size & fit. We open all of them. Typical fields:

• Identity - article number, shop, URL, brand, product name, product type such as Low-top trainers or Tapered fit jeans, colour name and the other colours of the style.
• Price - current price with VAT included, the crossed-out original price, discount percentage, the last lowest price Zalando shows before a reduction, from prices when sizes differ, and the up to discount on catalogue cards.
• Sizes - every size in the grid, in EU and manufacturer sizing where both exist, marked available, sold out or low in stock when only one to three items remain.
• Badges - Deal, New, Bestseller, Top rated, Designer, Exclusive, Popular item, Sponsored, Mix and match, and product standard notes such as the share of recycled material.
• Delivery - the partner-article notice where Zalando shows one, the standard delivery window, free delivery and returns, the return period.
• Material - outer fabric or upper material, fabric type, sole, insole and care instructions.
• Details - fastening, pockets, rise, heel type, shoe tip, extras such as belt loops, and description text.
• Size and fit - fit, shape, length, inner leg length, outer leg length, stretch level, shoe width, model height and the size the model wears, plus fit feedback such as Customers say this item runs large.
• Ratings and media - average rating, number of ratings and reviews, image links.

Labels arrive in the language of each shop and are mapped to one English schema, so the German Statt price and the crossed-out price on zalando.co.uk land in the same column.

Zalando price history and catalogue coverage

A single article says little about a fashion range. The value sits in the catalogue as a whole and in how it moves.

• Full category runs - every article in a category or brand with its position under the sort order you pick, so you see which items Zalando places first and which slots are marked Sponsored.
• Price history - repeated runs give each article and size a dated price series, showing when a markdown started, how deep it went and whether the last lowest price label matches your own record.
• Size depletion - which sizes go low or sell out, run by run, is the closest public signal of sell-through for a style.
• Shop comparison - one article number read on zalando.de, zalando.fr and zalando.co.uk at the same hour shows price and assortment gaps between countries.
• New arrivals - articles that appear under New for the first time, with the date we first saw them.
• Pre-owned - the second-hand section as a feed of its own, priced against new stock of the same brands.
