Frequently Asked Questions

Why is Walmart hard to scrape?

Walmart uses Akamai Bot Manager, one of the most sophisticated anti-bot solutions available. Akamai collects device sensor data, analyzes browser fingerprints, detects automation frameworks, and blocks suspicious traffic patterns. Bypassing Akamai requires quality proxies, proper fingerprinting, and realistic behavioral simulation.

What proxy type works for Walmart?

Residential proxies are essential for Walmart—datacenter proxies are blocked immediately by Akamai. Use high-quality residential providers with good IP reputations. Mobile proxies and ISP proxies also work well. Match proxy locations to target store locations for accurate local pricing and inventory data.

How do I bypass Akamai on Walmart?

Bypass Akamai by using quality residential proxies, proper browser automation with realistic fingerprints, solving or avoiding sensor data challenges, maintaining consistent session behavior, implementing human-like mouse movements and scrolling, and handling JavaScript challenges properly. Budget solutions rarely work against Akamai.

What Walmart data can I scrape?

Walmart scraping yields product details including prices, descriptions, and specifications, inventory availability by store location, seller marketplace information, customer reviews and ratings, search results and category data, and promotional pricing. Local inventory data requires location-specific requests.

How do I scrape Walmart store inventory?

Store inventory requires location-specific requests using store IDs or ZIP codes. Walmart's website shows pickup availability and in-store stock levels. Use proxies from relevant geographic regions, set appropriate location parameters, and scrape product pages with store context to get local availability data.

Does Walmart have an API I can use?

Walmart has affiliate and developer APIs (Walmart IO) providing product data for approved partners. Access requires application and approval, with specific use case restrictions. Many competitive intelligence and price monitoring use cases require web scraping rather than API access due to terms restrictions.
