Custom scraper

About You Scraper

We do not have a dedicated About You data API. What we do have is an AI scraper that reads a aboutyou.de page you point it at, turns it into the columns you asked for and hands them back by REST, CSV or Excel — on a schedule, priced per page.

  • aboutyou.de
  • aboutyou.com
Three stages of a About You run: paste a aboutyou.de URL billed on the render tier at EUR 1.50 per 1,000 pages; declare columns such as brand and product_title; and the 13 columns it returns.

How to scrape About You

About You publishes no read API for its catalogue. There is no key to apply for and no endpoint to call, which is why the page is the interface. About You is the main German-language fashion marketplace alongside Zalando, so the two together cover most of DACH fashion pricing. The way to get the data is to read the page the way a customer sees it: point the AI scraper at a aboutyou.de URL, declare the columns you want in plain English, and schedule it. In fashion the shelf price is almost beside the point. What moves the market is when an article goes on markdown, how deep, and which sizes are still available when it does.

What the AI scraper does with a aboutyou.de link

The same three steps as any other page you point it at. Nothing about About You is pre-built, which is exactly why it works on pages nobody wrote a connector for.

  1. Paste the link

    Give it a aboutyou.de product or listing URL. Market, currency and assortment all come from the page itself, so there is no region setting to get wrong — the URL decides.

  2. Declare the columns

    Name each field, give it a type and write a line telling the AI what to look for. “brand” and “product_title” are the two most people start with. The schema is yours and you can change it between runs.

  3. Schedule it and collect

    Run it hourly, daily or on demand. Every run returns the same columns in the same order with a timestamp on each row, so the history builds itself.

Set it up once. The data keeps coming.

Save your search once and it runs by itself. Every run lands in your own Scrapewise database, and you pick how to read it.

  1. Set it up once

    Add your ASINs, keywords, places or apps to a scraper in the web app. New accounts get 5 free requests.

  2. Runs on your schedule

    Pick daily, weekly on the days you choose, every few days, or the first or last day of the month. Scheduled runs start at night, European time. Need it more often? Start runs from your own code.

  3. Saved in your database

    Each run adds dated rows, so this week sits next to last week. Rows are kept for 90 days.

  4. Use it your way

    Open the table in the web app and download the latest run as an Excel file. Ask your own AI assistant about it. Or pull the rows into your code with an API key.

Ask your AI assistant about your own data

Connect Claude Desktop or Claude Code with a read-only key. The assistant reads the rows you've already collected, at no extra cost on Scrapewise. With a full-access key it can start a run for you too.

  • Which competitor cut prices the most since Monday?
  • Show the keywords where I dropped out of the top 10.

What you send and what you get

You send a link and a column list. Everything else — market, currency, which products are on the page — comes from the page, so there is nothing to configure twice.

You get

One row per article, 6 columns each

  • product_title
  • price
  • currency
  • availability
  • brand
  • source_url

REST API, CSV or Excel. The column set stays the same between runs, so downstream jobs do not re-map fields.

What a run on About You actually returned

This is real output, not a mock-up. 1 row, collected on 3 October 2026 from live aboutyou.de product pages through our own engine, the same way one of your runs would. Prices move, so treat the numbers as a sample of shape rather than a current price list.

All 6 columns

  • product_title
  • price
  • currency
  • availability
  • brand
  • source_url

1 sample row, all 6 columns seen across sample calls.

Column names are ones we chose when declaring the schema for this run. Yours can be named whatever your downstream job already expects. We pointed the run at 14 About You product pages and 1 came back with a readable price. The rest returned something other than a product page, which is ordinary on this storefront and the reason the tier named above is what it is. We publish what we measured, not what we expect. Columns not shown here — sku — are ones these pages did not publish. An empty cell would have been the honest answer on every row, so we left them out rather than pad the table.

What a About You page costs

Pay-as-you-go from your wallet. No plan, no monthly fee, no seat count.

per 1,000 pagespay-as-you-go, no plan

Measured on 3 October 2026, not assumed. A plain request for a aboutyou.de page returns a document rather than a refusal, but Cloudflare is in front of it, and the parts of the page that carry price are filled in by JavaScript after load, so a browser is what makes the run reliable.

Worked example

500 About You pages checked once a day for a month is 15,000 pages.

about EUR 22.50 for the month

You are charged for what a run actually used, not what it was expected to need, and your balance never expires.

What this page is not promising

We would rather say this here than in a support ticket.

  • No dedicated About You endpoint

    There is no About You API in our catalogue and no pre-built About You schema. The AI scraper reads the page you point it at — that is the whole mechanism, and it is why it works on pages nobody built a connector for.

  • Nothing behind a login

    It reads what a visitor can see. Account pricing, contract pricing and anything behind a sign-in are out of scope.

  • No field the page does not show

    If the page does not print it, the scraper cannot return it. Identifiers like EAN or GTIN only come back where the retailer publishes them.

  • A price is a point in time

    Every row carries the timestamp of the run that collected it. A price without one is not evidence, which is why the column is in the default schema.

  • About You has one specific trap

    Each country has its own domain and price, and the sale price is shown as the primary number with the original struck through.

  • Not a bulk dump of the catalogue

    You give it the URLs you care about. It does not crawl aboutyou.de end to end, and a schedule that tried to would cost more than the answer is worth.

Typical fields the AI scraper extracts from a About You page

Treat this as a starting point rather than a fixed schema. What comes back is whatever the page actually shows on the day of the run.

Markdown, not price

The interesting number is the distance between the original price and today's price, and how fast that distance is growing.

  • Current price
  • Original price, where the page shows one
  • Markdown percentage as stated
  • Campaign or sale badge wording
  • Currency and market the price belongs to

Size run and availability

The column fashion teams actually ask for, and the one most price monitoring tools do not collect.

  • Every size listed for the variant
  • Which sizes are still available
  • Which sizes are marked as few left, where the page says so
  • Whether the variant is sold out entirely
  • Delivery window shown for the article

Article identity

Fashion sites issue their own article code per colour variant, which is the most reliable thing on the page to key a comparison on.

  • Site's article code
  • Brand
  • Colour variant
  • Category breadcrumb
  • Material and care text, where printed
  • Rating and review count, where shown
  • Product image URLs

The column list is one you write: name each field, give it a type and a line telling the AI what to look for. The schema belongs to your run, not to us. How Custom Schema works →

What it cannot give you If a field is not visible on the page, the scraper cannot invent it. Identifiers such as EAN or GTIN only come back when About You publishes them.

What people use About You data for

01

Markdown cadence tracking

When competitors start discounting, how deep they go and how fast. That is a curve you build by scraping daily, and it is invisible to a weekly check.

02

Size availability as a competitive signal

An article at minus fifty percent with two sizes left is clearing stock, not attacking you. The same discount with a full size run is. Most monitoring tools collect the price and miss the distinction.

03

Full-price sell-through estimation

Sizes disappearing from a size run at full price, read daily, is the closest public proxy for sell-through there is.

04

Brand protection in fashion

If you sell through partners, this is how you see what your articles are actually listed at, per market, per colour. That is the evidence a channel conversation needs.

05

Assortment and range research

Which brands, colours and price points a category actually carries, rather than what a trend report says it carries.

06

Feeding your own markdown rules

The export is a normal REST API or CSV, so it drops into whatever markdown logic you already run.

What makes About You harder than an ordinary storefront

Here is what the scraper is actually up against on aboutyou.de, measured rather than assumed.

Access

  • Plain HTTP requests are answered, but the answer is the shell of the page rather than the priced version of it
  • Named protection on the response: Cloudflare
  • robots.txt carries a blanket disallow, so the scheduling decision is yours to make and document

Variants are the whole problem

  • Every colour variant is usually a separate URL with its own article code and its own price
  • Size availability changes daily and independently of price, and it decides whether an article is really competing
  • A size hidden rather than marked out of stock is simply absent from the page
  • Category pages are lazily loaded and infinitely scrolled, so a category sweep is a list of URLs rather than one request

What the page publishes

  • No product-level structured data is published, so every field is read off the rendered page
  • Each country has its own domain and price, and the sale price is shown as the primary number with the original struck through.
  • Price is one of the last things the page settles on, so a read taken too early records the placeholder rather than the number

Keeping a history

  • A single read is a snapshot; the value is in the series, which means the run has to be scheduled and the rows kept
  • Every row carries the timestamp of the run that produced it, so two days can be compared without guesswork
  • Columns stay stable between runs, so a dashboard written once does not break when the site redesigns
