Quickstart

This guide walks you through the essential steps to get started with MrScraper. Whether you’re new to web scraping or already experienced, you’ll learn how to create and run your first scraper in just a few minutes.

Scenario

Imagine you want to collect data on the top-selling laptops on Amazon to analyze market trends or compare pricing. For this example, you’ll scrape data from the following category page:

https://www.walmart.com/search?q=laptop&typeahead=laptop

Using General Mode, your goal is to extract:

Product name
Price
Rating
Number of reviews
Product link

This example shows how you can gather structured e-commerce data using AI Scraper — no coding required.

How to Scrape

Step 1: Create a New Scraper

Log in to MrScraper, then click Scraper in the left sidebar.
Click New Scraper + at the top to create a new scraper.
Select General mode and enter the following URL to scrape:

Note

Click Submit to begin.
In the prompt box, enter the following instruction:

Scrape the top 3 laptop products on this page and return the following information in JSON format:

product_name

price

rating

number_of_reviews

product_link

Step 2: Check the Result

The AI Scraper supports four output formats. In this example, we select the JSON format, which returns results like the sample below:

{
  "products": [
    {
      "price": "$347.99",
      "rating": "4334.3 out of 5 Stars",
      "product_link": "https://www.walmart.com/sp/track?bt=1&eventST=click&plmt=sp-search-middle~desktop~primary-exact&pos=1&tax=3944_1089430_3951_8835131_1737838&rdf=1&rd=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.walmart.com%2Fip%2F2024-Newest-Laptop-15-6-Inch-FHD-Display-Laptop-Intel-Quad-Core-12th-N100-Up-3-4GHz-16GB-RAM-1TB-ROM-Business-Laptop-Computer-Fingerprint-Type-C-Wind%2F8487662020%3FclassType%3DVARIANT%26athbdg%3DL1800%26adsRedirect%3Dtrue&adUid=c657f451-02c8-42ae-b60c-62612d807f3c-0-0&mloc=sp-search-middle&pltfm=desktop&pgId=lap…",

    }
  ]
}

Note

The actual results may vary depending on the current Walmart listings.

Step 3: Rerun the Scraper Using the API

You can also trigger a rerun of the scraper you’ve created using the API with a new URL to scrape.

Ensure that you’ve generated an API Token. If not, follow the steps here.
Go to Settings → Enable AI Scraper API Access.
Call the following endpoint using Postman or via our API Reference:

Note

In this example, we change the URL to: https://www.amazon.com/s?k=laptops.

curl -X POST "https://api.v3.app.mrscraper.com/api/v1/scrapers-ai-rerun" \
  -H "accept: application/json" \
  -H "x-api-token: atk_01aa6d4628c1770ef8968fb95a39b0095b444e32757f861d6053785df783976c" \
  -H "content-type: application/json" \
  -d '{
  "scraperId": "f9146f33-d01d-4f14-aefa-22c500d7cd19",
  "url": "https://www.amazon.com/s?k=laptops"
}' \
  -k

The endpoint returns a JSON response similar to the example below:

{
    "success": true,
    "data": {
        "products": [
            {
                "product_name": "Lenovo IdeaPad 2025 15.6” FHD Laptop, Intel 4-Core CPU, 12GB RAM, 256GB SSD, Wi-Fi 6, Win11",
