Sam's Club

Learn how to start scraping Sam's Club.

Sam's Club has no dedicated source. You scrape its pages on samsclub.com (United States) and sams.com.mx (Mexico) with the universal source by passing the page url. The response returns the page HTML in content, in the standard response structure described in Realtime and Push-Pull.

For some targets our system forces JavaScript rendering even if you do not set render; those requests count as rendered traffic. The list of force-rendered targets and how to switch rendering off are in Forcing rendering on specific pages.

Page type	URL format
Search page	https://www.samsclub.com/search?q=<search-term>, https://www.sams.com.mx/search?q=<search-term>
Product page	https://www.samsclub.com/ip/<product-name>/<product-id>, https://www.sams.com.mx/ip/<product-name>/<product-id>

Besides the parameters listed below, you can include additional parameters such as user_agent_type, geo_location, render, and more to customize your scraping request. Read more here.
