Use World Market Product Scraper with Python

Get product data from Cost Plus World Market, a US home decor, furniture, and specialty food retailer. Search by keyword or browse by department for price, brand, item number, category, images, availability, and ratings.

1. Choose the data you need

Review the published README for supported collection modes, examples, and limits. The recipe below uses the current published input definition.

2. Prepare a source-based input

This JSON contains published prefills and required-field defaults. Review every value for your task before running it; it is not a promise of successful collection.

{
  "includePickup": false,
  "includeVariants": true,
  "maxItems": 1,
  "mode": "search",
  "searchQuery": "candle"
}

Download input.example.json and save your reviewed copy as input.json.

Field	Type	Required	Description
`mode`	string	required	What to fetch. `search` uses a keyword, `byCategory` browses a department or collection, and `byProductUrls` reads the URLs you paste.
`searchQuery`	string	optional	Keyword to search for (mode=search), e.g. `candle`, `dining chair`, `chocolate`.
`category`	string	optional	A World Market department or curated collection. Use `categoryUrl` instead if you want a sub-category that is not listed here.
`categoryUrl`	string	optional	A worldmarket.com category or collection URL, e.g. `https://www.worldmarket.com/c/furniture/shop-all-furniture/`. Takes priority over `category`.
`productUrls`	array	optional	Direct worldmarket.com product-page URLs, e.g. `https://www.worldmarket.com/p/<slug>-<id>.html`. Up to 500 unique URLs per run.
`sortBy`	string	optional	Sort order for search and department results. `bestselling` and `newArrivals` keep World Market's own listing order.
`minPrice`	integer	optional	Drop products whose current price is below this amount.
`maxPrice`	integer	optional	Drop products whose current price is above this amount.
`maxItems`	integer	optional	Hard cap on emitted products (1–500). Search and department pages are read 120 tiles at a time.
`storeId`	string	optional	A World Market store ID such as `store398`. Used only when `includePickup` is enabled. If omitted, the nearest store is resolved from `postalCode`.
`postalCode`	string	optional	US ZIP code used to resolve the nearest store when `storeId` is not set and `includePickup` is enabled.
`includeVariants`	boolean	optional	Include the selectable color, size or fragrance options for products that have them (up to 20).
`includePickup`	boolean	optional	Add per-store pickup status, quantity and message. Requires `storeId` or `postalCode`.
`proxyConfiguration`	object	optional	Optional. The actor connects directly first and only uses a proxy fallback if World Market blocks a request. Choose your own proxy to use it as that fallback, or leave it unset.

3. Start an Actor run

Set APIFY_TOKEN in your environment. Python 3.10 or newer is sufficient; this recipe uses no third-party packages.

Execution may incur charges. Review current pricing on Apify. The request asks for a 120-second timeout and a charge limit; these settings are subject to Apify’s pricing and do not guarantee an all-inclusive spending cap.

import json
import os
import urllib.request

# Save the schema-derived example as input.json; review and edit it first.
with open("input.json", encoding="utf-8") as stream:
    actor_input = json.load(stream)

token = os.environ["APIFY_TOKEN"]
request = urllib.request.Request(
    "https://api.apify.com/v2/acts/rPjoYNtTrSUbx3aor/runs?timeout=120&maxTotalChargeUsd=0.50",
    data=json.dumps(actor_input).encode("utf-8"),
    headers={"Authorization": "Bearer " + token, "Content-Type": "application/json"},
    method="POST",
)
# This starts a potentially billable run. Do not automatically retry this POST.
with urllib.request.urlopen(request, timeout=40) as response:
    run = json.load(response)["data"]
print("Run ID:", run["id"])
print("Status:", run["status"])
# Inspect and download results in Apify Console once the run succeeds.

4. Inspect the actual results

Open the run in Apify Console and wait for a successful completion. Use the published output schema to locate results and the dataset schema to understand declared views. Missing or optional record fields must not be treated as guaranteed values.

World Market products with exact current price, original price and discount, sale badges, brand, SKU and master ID, rating, images, variants, category, availability and optional store pickup status.

Questions before you run

Which inputs are required?

The published required fields are mode

What does this guide verify?

The fields, prefills, and schema links are rendered from the published build. This is a usage recipe, not a paid live extraction test. Source availability and collection results can vary.

What if the run request times out?

Check Apify Console before retrying. The first request may already have created a run. Do not automatically repeat a run-creation POST.
