URL

Scrape any Menards URL of your choice.

You can get Menards results by providing your own URLs to our service using the menards source. The API returns the HTML for any Menards page you like.

Currently, our API only provides HTML output for this page type. However, you can easily build your own parser if you would like to get JSON-structured data.

Request samples

The samples below illustrate how you can get Menards pages.
