🏠 Briscoes Scraper
🚀 Export the whole Briscoes New Zealand catalog in seconds. 23 fields per product, 690 shoppable categories, roughly 51,500 live SKUs, and up to 10,000 products per query.
Briscoes is one of New Zealand's largest homeware, kitchenware and manchester retailers. This Actor reads the store's own public catalog service directly, so every row is the same data the website itself renders: the product image, the current NZD price, the was-price when an item is marked down, the brand, the stock status, the shopper rating, the GTIN-13 barcode and every colour or size variant with its own price.
Coverage is the full public catalog: 690 categories across Kitchen, Bed and Bath, Bath, Dining, Living, Outdoor, Electrical, Cleaning and Laundry, Kids and Nursery, Travel, plus 284 brand pages and the Sale, Clearance and Online Only ranges. Across a 150 product sample, 100 percent carried a brand and a category breadcrumb, 98 percent a full marketing description, 72 percent a real product photo, 62 percent a GTIN-13 barcode and 11 percent a shopper rating with a review count.
| 🎯 Target Audience | 💡 Primary Use Cases |
|---|---|
| 🛒 Retail and category buyers | Track competitor assortment, price points and markdown depth in the NZ homeware market |
| 📊 Price intelligence teams | Build a daily NZD price feed with was-price and discount percentage per SKU |
| 🏷️ Brands and distributors | Check how a brand's range is listed, priced and rated at one of NZ's biggest retailers |
| 🤖 Data and AI teams | Feed a product catalog with images, barcodes, descriptions and variants into a model or search index |
| 📦 Dropshippers and marketplaces | Import a clean product catalog with images, specs and stock status |
| 🎓 Researchers and analysts | Study NZ retail price levels, assortment breadth and consumer ratings over time |
📋 What the Briscoes Scraper does
Point it at Briscoes category pages, individual product pages, keyword searches, or any mix of the three. It reads the store's public catalog service, pages through the results, and writes one clean row per product.
- 🖼 Images first. Primary image plus the whole gallery, straight from the Briscoes media CDN.
- 💲 Real NZD prices. Current price, price range for multi-size products, was-price and the discount percentage.
- 🏷 Identity that survives a redesign. SKU, GTIN-13 barcode, MPN and the canonical product URL.
- ⭐ Shopper ratings. Rating value and review count for the products that carry published reviews.
- 🎨 Variants. Each colour and size variant with its own SKU, price and stock status.
- 🗂 Category breadcrumbs. The merchandising path the product sits under, for example
Kitchen > Kitchenware > Bakeware. - 🔎 Every filter the store itself offers. Category, keyword, price range, sort order and an in-stock-only switch, all applied by the catalog service before a single row is billed.
💡 Why it matters: New Zealand retail data is thin on the ground. Briscoes lists tens of thousands of SKUs with prices that move weekly, and there is no public feed. This Actor turns that storefront into a spreadsheet you can diff week over week.

Three real records from a live run:
✨ Why choose this Actor
- ⚡ Fast and cheap to run. It talks to the store's own catalog service instead of rendering pages, so a thousand products cost a handful of requests and no browser memory.
- 🎯 690 verified categories. The category picker is generated from the live Briscoes category tree, so there are no invented slugs to 404 on.
- 🧾 Barcodes and MPNs. GTIN-13 and manufacturer part numbers let you join Briscoes rows to your own catalog or to another retailer's feed.
- 🎨 Variant level detail. Multi-size and multi-colour products come back with each variant's SKU, price and stock status instead of a single blended price.
- 🔁 Slug-proof product URLs. Product pages are resolved by SKU, so a URL you saved last month still returns the right product after Briscoes renames the slug.
- 🧹 No junk rows. Delisted records that linger in the index with a zero price and a dead product page are dropped instead of shipped as empty rows.
- 📤 Any format. Download as CSV, Excel, JSON or XML, or pull it through the Apify API.
📈 How it compares to alternatives
| Approach | Setup | Fields | Coverage | Honest limits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| This Actor | Paste a category, keyword or URL | 23 per product | Full public catalog, roughly 51,500 SKUs | 10,000 results per query, so very large jobs are split by category |
| Manual copy and paste | Hours per category | Whatever you retype | A page at a time | Stale the moment prices move |
| A generic web crawler | Selector tuning, breaks on redesign | Whatever the HTML shows | Depends on the crawl | No barcodes, no variants, no was-price |
| A headless browser scraper | Heavy, 4 GB per run | Similar | Similar | Slow and expensive for the same rows |
| Briscoes affiliate or partner feeds | Approval process | Feed dependent | Partner catalog only | Not open to the public |

💼 Business use cases
🛒 Competitive price monitoring
Run the Kitchen, Bed and Bath and Electrical categories every morning and diff price, wasPrice and discountPercent by SKU. You get markdown depth and timing for one of New Zealand's largest homeware chains without a partner agreement.
🏷️ Brand and distributor audits
Filter to a brand's category page and check that every model is listed, priced correctly and in stock. gtin13 and mpn let you match Briscoes rows against your own ERP export line by line.
📦 Assortment and gap analysis
Pull two categories side by side and compare breadth, price bands and average rating. categoryPath gives you the retailer's own taxonomy, which is usually more useful than your internal one for merchandising decisions.
🤖 Product data enrichment

❓ Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need a Briscoes account or an API key?
No. Everything the Actor reads is public catalog data that any visitor to briscoes.co.nz can see.
How many products can one run return?
As many as your Max Items allows, up to 1,000,000. A single category or keyword query is capped at 10,000 results by the store itself, so bigger jobs should be split across several categories. Adding more categories in one run raises the total.
How big is the catalog?
Roughly 51,500 products across 690 categories with stock, spread over Kitchen, Bed and Bath, Bath, Dining, Living, Outdoor, Electrical, Cleaning and Laundry, Kids and Nursery, Travel, plus 284 brand pages.
Why do some products have no image?
Briscoes publishes new arrivals before their photography is ready and serves a placeholder in the meantime. Those rows come back with imageUrl set to N/A rather than a placeholder image URL. About 72 percent of a 150 product sample carried a real photo.
Why is rating often Not Disclosed?
Only products with published shopper reviews carry a rating. That was about 11 percent of a 150 product sample. Popular appliances tend to have hundreds of reviews, long tail homeware usually has none.
Does it capture sale prices?
Yes. price is the current price, wasPrice is the pre-markdown price when the item is discounted, and discountPercent is the markdown percentage. Products at full price return N/A for wasPrice and 0 for discountPercent.
What about products that come in several sizes or colours?
Configurable products return every variant in the variants array with its own SKU, price and stock status. price and priceMax give you the range at a glance.
Can I scrape a single product page?
Yes. Paste the product URL into Start URLs. The Actor resolves it by the SKU in the URL, so it still works after Briscoes changes the slug.
Do I need a proxy?
No. The catalog service answers normally from Apify's own network, so the proxy input defaults to off. Turn it on for very large jobs or many parallel runs.
What currency are the prices in?
New Zealand dollars. The currency field is always NZD.
How fresh is the data?
Every row is fetched live at run time and stamped with scrapedAt. There is no cache and no stored snapshot.
Can I filter to in stock products only?
Yes. Switch off Include Out Of Stock Products and only products Briscoes currently shows as in stock are returned.
What happens if a category returns nothing?
The run finishes with a warning instead of an error. Check the category slug and any price filters, then run again.
🔌 Integrate with any app
Datasets are available through the Apify API in JSON, CSV, Excel and XML, so anything that can call an HTTP endpoint can read them. Native integrations cover Make, Zapier, Airbyte, Keboola, Google Drive, Slack, GitHub and webhooks that fire the moment a run finishes.
