The menards_search source is designed to retrieve Menards search result pages. We can return the HTML for any Menards page you like. To see the response example with retrieved data, download this sample output file in HTML format.
Request samples
The samples below illustrates how you can get a Menards search result.
import requests

# Structure payload.
payload = {
'source': 'menards_search',
'query': 'shower'
}
# Get response.
response = requests.request(
'POST',
'https://realtime.oxylabs.io/v1/queries',
auth=('USERNAME', 'PASSWORD'),
json=payload,
)
# Instead of response with job status and results url, this will return the
# JSON response with the result.
