Capabilities

Component data extraction at scale

Our Arrow scraper handles complex tabular layouts, deep category pagination, and dynamic pricing updates, delivering structured BOM data directly to your warehouse.

Full Component Metadata

Extract Manufacturer Part Numbers (MPN), descriptions, technical attributes, package types, and physical dimensions.

Tiered Pricing Capture

Scrape dynamic pricing tables across all quantity breaks, minimum order quantities (MOQ), and currency options.

Real-Time Inventory Tracking

Monitor stock levels across different Arrow warehouses, factory lead times, and availability status.

Datasheet & CAD Aggregation

Extract direct URLs for PDF datasheets, 3D CAD models, PCB footprints, and product training modules.

Lifecycle & Compliance

Track lifecycle status (Active, NRND, Obsolete) and environmental compliance (RoHS, REACH).

Cross-Reference Mapping

Capture suggested alternatives, drop-in replacements, and upgrade paths for obsolete components.

Manufacturer-Level Scraping

Target specific manufacturers to audit their entire Arrow catalogue, pricing strategy, and stock depth.

Lead Time Monitoring

Track factory lead time fluctuations to forecast supply chain bottlenecks before they impact production.

Scheduled + Streaming Modes

Run one-off bulk exports or configure continuous pipelines at daily or real-time cadences with change-detection.

Under the hood

How our Arrow pipeline handles the hard parts

Distributor websites deploy aggressive anti-bot measures to protect pricing data. Here is how we ensure reliable delivery.

Anti-bot layer
Residential proxy rotation

Arrow uses strict bot management. Our crawlers use residential ISP proxies with realistic browser fingerprints and automated CAPTCHA solving to maintain access without IP bans.

JavaScript rendering
Dynamic pricing table hydration

Pricing tiers and real-time stock levels are loaded dynamically via JavaScript. We use Playwright to execute page scripts and capture the final rendered DOM state.

Pagination handling
Deep category tree traversal

Component categories contain hundreds of thousands of parts. Our crawlers manage deep pagination state, ensuring zero data loss across extensive catalogue sections.

Change detection
Only push price and stock diffs

For large BOM lists, we maintain a hash index of last-seen values. Subsequent runs only push diffs, reducing downstream processing load and storage costs.

Monitoring & alerting
24/7 pipeline health

We monitor for null-rate spikes, layout changes, and coverage drops. Automated fallback selectors ensure schema stability when Arrow updates their frontend.

Applications

Who uses Arrow data — and how

Teams across industries use arrow.com data to build competitive products and smarter operations.

01
BOM Cost Optimisation

Hardware engineering teams track component pricing across tiers to optimise Bill of Materials costs before mass production.

02
Supply Chain Visibility

Procurement teams monitor real-time stock levels and factory lead times to mitigate component shortages.

03
Competitor Price Monitoring

Other electronic distributors track Arrow's pricing strategy to adjust their own margins and promotional offers.

04
Obsolescence Management

Lifecycle management platforms ingest NRND and Obsolete statuses to alert engineers to redesign requirements.

05
Market Research

Analysts track semiconductor availability and pricing trends to gauge broader industry supply chain health.

06
Component Search Engines

Aggregators ingest Arrow's catalogue to provide unified search across multiple distributors.

Why DataFlirt

"Arrow Electronics holds critical supply chain metadata — but querying millions of MPNs for real-time stock and pricing requires dedicated infrastructure."

Most teams underestimate the investment required: reliable Arrow scraping requires residential proxies, full JavaScript rendering for dynamic pricing tables, CAPTCHA handling, and anomaly monitoring. DataFlirt absorbs that complexity so your engineers can focus on the analysis — not the infrastructure.

Infrastructure

Infrastructure powering the Arrow pipeline

Open-source tooling on proven cloud infra — no vendor lock-in, full observability.

ScrapyPlaywrightPython 3.12RedisPostgreSQLApache AirflowAWS LambdaS3CloudWatch2CaptchaCapSolverResidential ProxiesDockerKubernetesGrafanaPrometheus
Scrapy + Playwright Stack

Scrapy handles crawl orchestration, deduplication, and retry logic. Playwright handles JavaScript rendering, cookie sessions, and interaction flows. Combined via scrapy-playwright middleware.

Residential Proxy Infrastructure

We maintain pools of residential ISP proxies. Rotation happens per-request with sticky sessions where required. IP score monitoring prevents blacklisted pool contamination.

Cloud-Native Orchestration

Pipelines run on AWS Lambda (burst) and ECS (sustained). Airflow handles scheduling, dependency management, and SLA alerting. All state stored in managed Postgres.

Common questions.

About arrow.com scraping, legality, and pipeline operations.

Ask us directly →
Is scraping Arrow legal?

Scraping publicly available information from Arrow is generally permissible under applicable law. DataFlirt targets only public, non-authenticated component, pricing, and stock data. We do not extract personal data or circumvent authentication walls. Clients should review Arrow's ToS and consult legal counsel for specific use cases.

How do you handle Arrow's anti-bot systems?

We use residential ISP proxies, full Playwright browser sessions with realistic fingerprints, and automated CAPTCHA solvers. We monitor for rate spikes in real time and trigger pool rotation automatically.

Can you extract tiered pricing?

Yes. We capture all quantity breaks, minimum order quantities (MOQ), and unit prices displayed on the component page.

How fresh is the inventory data?

Real-time streaming pipelines achieve sub-60-minute latency for stock and pricing signals on a defined MPN list. Full catalogue refreshes operate on daily or weekly schedules.

Do you download datasheets or just URLs?

Our standard schema provides direct URLs to the PDF datasheets hosted on Arrow. If required, we can configure a pipeline to download and store the actual PDF files in your S3 bucket.

What is the minimum viable engagement?

Our smallest packages start at a defined MPN list (typically 1,000-50,000 parts) with weekly delivery. For larger catalogues, we price based on volume and delivery frequency.

Can you track part obsolescence?

Yes. We extract lifecycle statuses such as Active, Not Recommended for New Designs (NRND), and Obsolete, allowing you to manage component end-of-life transitions.
