PetSmart Scraper
We do not have a dedicated PetSmart data API. What we do have is an AI scraper that reads a petsmart.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.

How to scrape PetSmart
PetSmart does run a developer portal at {'url': 'https://api.petsmart.com/index.html', 'status': 200, 'signals': ['oauth', 'swagger']}. It is built for partners and sellers rather than for someone who wants to read prices, so the access you can get through it is not the access most people arrive here looking for. PetSmart is Chewy's main competitor and the main physical pet chain, so the pair defines US pet pricing. The way to get the data is to read the page the way a customer sees it: point the AI scraper at a petsmart.com URL, declare the columns you want in plain English, and schedule it. Pet retail runs on subscription pricing and pack size, so a shelf price next to an autoship price next to a price per kilo are three different numbers and all three are on the page.
What the AI scraper does with a petsmart.com link
The same three steps as any other page you point it at. Nothing about PetSmart is pre-built, which is exactly why it works on pages nobody wrote a connector for.
Paste the link
Give it a petsmart.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.
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.
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.
Set it up once
Add your ASINs, keywords, places or apps to a scraper in the web app. New accounts get 5 free requests.
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.
Saved in your database
Each run adds dated rows, so this week sits next to last week. Rows are kept for 90 days.
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 of my ASINs lost the Buy Box this week?
- 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.

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

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 PetSmart actually returned
This is real output, not a mock-up. 4 rows, collected on 3 October 2026 from live petsmart.com 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.

What a PetSmart page costs
Pay-as-you-go from your wallet. No plan, no monthly fee, no seat count.
Measured on 3 October 2026, not assumed. A plain request for a petsmart.com 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.
500 PetSmart 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.

We would rather say this here than in a support ticket.
No dedicated PetSmart endpoint
There is no PetSmart API in our catalogue and no pre-built PetSmart 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.
PetSmart has one specific trap
Size and flavour variants are priced separately under one product page.
Not a bulk dump of the catalogue
You give it the URLs you care about. It does not crawl petsmart.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 PetSmart 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.
Two price lists on one page
Pet retail quotes a one-off price and a subscription price side by side, and the subscription price is the one that sets the market.
- One-off price
- Autoship or subscription price where shown
- Subscription discount percentage, as stated
- Any was-price or promotional price
- Currency the page quoted
Pack size and per-unit price
Pet food is sold in bag sizes that differ between retailers, so per-kilo is the only comparable number.
- Pack or bag size exactly as printed
- Price per kilo or per unit where the page prints it
- Which unit the per-unit price is quoted in
- Multibuy conditions, where stated
- Which sizes are listed at all
Product identity
Pet catalogues are brand-dense with many near-identical variants, so brand plus pack size is the practical join key.
- Brand as labelled
- Site's own product code
- EAN or GTIN, where published
- Life stage or breed-size variant
- Category breadcrumb
- Rating and review count, where shown
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 PetSmart publishes them.
What people use PetSmart data for
Subscription price benchmarking
The headline price is not where pet retail competes. Capturing the autoship price next to it is what makes a comparison real.
Price per kilo comparison
Bag sizes differ between retailers, so shelf prices are not comparable until divided. Pack size as a column makes that computable.
Brand price-floor checks
If you own a pet brand, this is how you see what your products are actually listed at across the retailers that carry them, with the date attached.
Range and availability monitoring
Which of your lines are listed, in stock and findable, and which have quietly gone out of stock.
Promotion calendar reconstruction
When promotions land, on which lines, and how deep. Visible only if you collect daily.
Feeding your own pricing rules
The export is a normal REST API or CSV, so pack size, one-off price and subscription price land in whatever pricing model you already run.
What makes PetSmart harder than an ordinary storefront
Here is what the scraper is actually up against on petsmart.com, 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, Akamai
- robots.txt publishes sitemaps, which is the cheapest way to build the URL list a run works through
Subscription price and pack size
- Two prices sit on the page at once, and picking the wrong one skews a whole comparison
- Bag sizes differ between retailers, so comparison requires a per-unit conversion from a printed pack size
- Many near-identical variants per brand make titles a poor join key
- Large catalogues mean a category sweep is a list of URLs rather than one request
What the page publishes
- Structured data is published but not at product level (Organization, PostalAddress, WebSite), so price comes from the rendered page rather than a feed
- Size and flavour variants are priced separately under one 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
