The walmart_search source is designed to retrieve Walmart search result pages. We can return the HTML for any Walmart page you like. Additionally, we can deliver structured (parsed) output for Walmart search pages.
Request samples
The example below illustrates how you can get a parsed Walmart search page result.
import requests
from pprint import pprint
# Structure payload.
payload = {
'source': 'walmart_search',
'query': 'iphone',
'parse': True,
}
# 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.
pprint(response.json())
# The whole string you submit has to be URL-encoded.
