Custom scraper

Boulanger Scraper

We do not have a dedicated Boulanger data API. What we do have is an AI scraper that reads a boulanger.com 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.

  • boulanger.com
Three stages of a Boulanger run: paste a boulanger.com URL billed on the render plus residential tier at EUR 3.75 per 1,000 pages; declare columns such as product_title and brand; and the 13 columns it returns.

How to scrape Boulanger

Boulanger 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. Boulanger and Darty are the French electronics duopoly, so the gap between them is the market's clearest competitive signal. The way to get the data is to read the page the way a customer sees it: point the AI scraper at a boulanger.com URL, declare the columns you want in plain English, and schedule it. Electronics is the category where price changes fastest and where a promotion, a bundle or an open-box price can undercut the shelf price without the shelf price moving at all.

What the AI scraper does with a boulanger.com link

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

  1. Paste the link

    Give it a boulanger.com 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. “product_title” and “brand” 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 give
  • Link to a Boulanger pagerequired

    Open the product or category page in your browser and copy the address. Any Boulanger country domain works the same way.

  • Your column listrequired

    Field name, type and one line of plain English per column. Written once, reused on every run.

    product_title, brand, sku, mpn
  • How often it runsoptional

    Hourly, daily, weekly or on demand through the API. Daily is what most price monitoring uses.

    Daily at 06:00 UTC
You get

One row per product on the page, 13 columns each

  • product_title
  • brand
  • sku
  • mpn
  • price
  • was_price
  • currency
  • availability
  • delivery_estimate
  • rating
  • review_count
  • product_url
  • +1 more, see all columns

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

The columns a Boulanger run comes back with

We are not going to print a table of invented electronics prices and call it real output. Boulanger does not answer an ordinary request at all, so we have no run of our own to quote from. So what is published here is the column list you declare before the run, which is the same list every run comes back with.

product_titleProduct title as the site writes it
brandBrand as the site labels it
skuSite's own article number
mpnManufacturer part number, where the page prints one
pricePrice the site is charging today
was_priceStrike-through price, only where the page shows one
currencyCurrency the page quoted
availabilityStock state as the page states it
delivery_estimateDelivery window shown on the page
ratingAverage rating, where shown
review_countHow many reviews back that rating
product_urlLink back to the page the row came from
checked_atWhen this run collected the page (UTC)

Every column here is one you name yourself in the schema. If a field is not on the page on the day of the run, it comes back empty rather than guessed.

What a Boulanger page costs

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

€3.75per 1,000 pagespay-as-you-go, no plan

Measured on 3 October 2026, not assumed. Boulanger did not answer a plain request at all — the connection is dropped rather than refused, which is the most restrictive case and the one that needs the full stack.

Worked example

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

about EUR 56.25 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 Boulanger endpoint

    There is no Boulanger API in our catalogue and no pre-built Boulanger 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.

  • Boulanger has one specific trap

    Store pickup and delivery prices differ on the same product page.

  • Not a bulk dump of the catalogue

    You give it the URLs you care about. It does not crawl boulanger.com 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 Boulanger 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.

Price and what is hiding behind it

In electronics the headline figure is frequently not the price a buyer pays, and the difference is printed on the page.

  • Current price
  • Strike-through or was-price, where the page shows one
  • Promotion, bundle or voucher wording
  • Open-box or refurbished price, where listed separately
  • Currency and market the price belongs to

Identity you can join on

Electronics is the one category where a manufacturer part number is usually on the page, which makes cross-retailer matching tractable.

  • Manufacturer part number, where printed
  • EAN or GTIN, where published
  • The site's own article number
  • Brand and model name
  • Category breadcrumb

Stock and delivery

A competitor who is cheaper and out of stock is not actually cheaper, and electronics stock turns over daily.

  • Stock state as the page states it
  • Delivery window shown
  • Click-and-collect availability, where the page shows it
  • Backorder or pre-order wording
  • Rating and review count

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 Boulanger publishes them.

What people use Boulanger data for

01

Daily competitor price tracking

The reason most people land here. A list of product URLs, a daily schedule, and a table you can diff against yesterday rather than a tab you check by hand.

02

Promotion and bundle detection

The shelf price can sit still while a voucher, a bundle or an open-box listing does the actual undercutting. Capturing the was-price and the promotion wording is what makes that visible.

03

Cross-retailer matching on part numbers

Electronics pages usually publish a manufacturer part number, which means one schema across several retailers produces a table that genuinely lines up rather than one that needs fuzzy matching.

04

Stock-out monitoring

Knowing a competitor is out of stock on a hero SKU is worth as much as knowing their price, and it is the same scrape.

05

Reseller price-floor checks

If you manufacture, this is how you see what your own products are actually listed at across the retailers that carry them, with the date attached.

06

Feeding your own repricing rules

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

What makes Boulanger harder than an ordinary storefront

Here is what the scraper is actually up against on boulanger.com, measured rather than assumed.

Access

  • Plain HTTP requests are dropped rather than answered, so there is nothing to parse
  • No named protection vendor on the response, which is why this one lands on a cheaper tier than most of the cohort
  • robots.txt carries a blanket disallow, so the scheduling decision is yours to make and document

The price is rarely one number

  • Strike-through prices, vouchers and bundles move the real price without moving the shelf price
  • Open-box and refurbished listings are separate pages with separate prices
  • Stock state changes faster than price and changes what a price means
  • Category pages are paginated and lazily loaded, 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
  • Store pickup and delivery prices differ on the same product page.
  • 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
