Product

Learn how to get Target search results using the Web Scraper API. Find out more about its request parameters and structured data output.

The target_product source is designed to retrieve Target product result pages. We can return the HTML for any Target page you like. Additionally, we can deliver structured (parsed) output for Target product pages.

Request samples

The example below illustrates how you can get a parsed Target product page result.

curl 'https://realtime.oxylabs.io/v1/queries' \
--user 'USERNAME:PASSWORD' \
-H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
-d '{
        "source": "target_product", 
        "product_id": "91936637", 
        "render": "html",
        "parse": true
    }'

# Get response.
response = requests.request(
    'POST',
    'https://realtime.oxylabs.io/v1/queries',
    auth=('user', 'pass1'),
    json=payload,

# Instead of response with job status and results url, this will return the
# JSON response with the result.
