Dunelm Scraper

Extracts product data from Dunelm.com, the UK's largest homewares retailer. Curtains, bedding, furniture, bathroom accessories, and lighting -- if it furnishes a home, Dunelm probably sells it.

How it works

The scraper uses a Cheerio router with two handlers: LIST for search/category pages and DETAIL for individual product pages. Product links are discovered from HTML (/product/ and /p/ URL patterns) and JSON-LD ItemList data. Product detail extraction prioritizes JSON-LD Product schema, with fallback to HTML selectors and data-testid attributes.

Cost

$0.02 per run plus $0.002 per product scraped (HTTP only, no browser) — a run of 1,000 products costs about $2.02. Usage cost only settles once a run reports SUCCEEDED.

Notes

• Prices in GBP (British pounds)
• Dunelm uses /product/ and /p/ URL patterns for product pages
• The scraper increments the page query parameter for pagination
• Default search is curtains when no input is given
