Under the hood

How our M&S pipeline handles the hard parts

Marks & Spencer relies on dynamic frontend frameworks and strict bot protection. Here is how we maintain pipeline stability.

Anti-bot layer
Akamai bypass with residential proxies

M&S uses advanced bot mitigation to block scraping. Our crawlers use UK residential ISP proxies with realistic browser fingerprints, randomised request timing, and full cookie session management to bypass these filters.

JavaScript rendering
Dynamic size and colour hydration

Stock availability for specific size and colour combinations is loaded dynamically via JavaScript. We run full Playwright browser sessions to trigger these network requests and capture the true stock status.

Schema stability
Resilient selectors for regular UI updates

M&S frequently updates its frontend for seasonal campaigns. Our selector strategy uses multiple fallback chains per field, including CSS selectors, XPath, and JSON-LD extraction, ensuring continuous data flow.

Change detection
Only re-scrape what has changed

For large product catalogues, we maintain a hash index of last-seen values per field. Subsequent runs only push diffs, reducing compute cost and downstream processing load.

Monitoring & alerting
24/7 pipeline health checks

Every run emits structured logs to our observability stack. We alert on null-rate spikes, missing price fields, and coverage drops, responding before the data reaches your warehouse.

Infrastructure

Infrastructure powering the M&S 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 for dynamic M&S pages.

Residential Proxy Infrastructure

We maintain pools of residential ISP proxies across UK regions. Rotation happens per-request with sticky sessions where required to bypass regional blocking.

Cloud-Native Orchestration

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

Common questions.

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

Ask us directly →
Can you extract data from the M&S Foodhall?

Yes. We extract full product details from the food sections, including weight, price per unit, ingredient lists, allergen warnings, and nutritional tables.

How do you handle out-of-stock variations?

Our pipeline maps every size and colour combination. If a specific variant is out of stock, it is recorded with a boolean flag, allowing you to track inventory depth and demand.

Do you bypass M&S bot protection?

Yes. We use UK-based residential proxies and humanised browser interaction patterns via Playwright to ensure high success rates against Akamai and other bot mitigation layers.

Can we track price changes and promotions over time?

Yes. Every pipeline run produces timestamped snapshots. We maintain a time-series record for base price, promotional discounts, and Sparks offers.

What is the minimum viable engagement?

Our packages typically start at a defined category list or 10,000 products with weekly delivery. For full catalogue extraction, we price based on volume and delivery frequency.

Do you extract customer reviews?

Yes. We capture paginated reviews including star ratings, fit and quality scores, review text, and helpful votes across all product categories.

Can I request a sample dataset?

Yes. We provide a sample run of up to 500 products as part of the pre-engagement scoping process so you can validate the schema and data quality.
