Home Depot Data Extraction
Extract publicly available data from Home Depot at scale using AlterLab's API — JavaScript rendering, structured extraction, and automatic retries in one request.
Website Compatibility Notes
Home Depot uses moderate bot protections with JavaScript-heavy product pages. Browser rendering is required for complete product data including pricing and availability. Store-specific inventory requires a location cookie or parameter.
Technical Context
Home Depot product URLs contain a numeric product ID at the end (/p/{product-name}/{product_id}). Home Depot Pro pricing (contractor discount) differs from consumer pricing and requires login. Buy Online Pick Up In Store (BOPIS) availability requires a store location. Home Depot's product specs are particularly detailed for building materials and hardware.
