Under the hood

How our Samash pipeline handles the hard parts

Extracting structured data from retail sites requires handling dynamic inventory and inconsistent specification formats. Here is how we manage it.

Anti-bot layer
Residential proxy rotation

Retail sites monitor traffic patterns. Our crawlers use residential ISP proxies with realistic browser fingerprints and randomised request timing to maintain access without triggering rate limits.

JavaScript rendering
Playwright execution for dynamic content

Inventory status and pricing updates often load via JavaScript. We run full Playwright browser sessions to ensure we capture the final rendered state of the product page.

Schema stability
Normalising inconsistent spec tables

Specification formats differ wildly between guitars, drum kits, and audio interfaces. We map these varying DOM structures into a normalised relational schema.

Used gear tracking
Unique identifier generation

Used items cycle quickly and lack standard SKUs. We generate stable synthetic IDs based on listing URLs and timestamps to track used inventory lifecycle accurately.

Change detection
Only re-scrape what changed

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

Applications

Who uses Samash data

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

01
Competitor Pricing

Musical instrument retailers monitor Samash pricing, discounts, and financing offers to adjust their own pricing strategies.

02
Used Gear Arbitrage

Buyers track the used gear section for underpriced vintage or high-demand instruments to flip on secondary markets.

03
MAP Monitoring

Manufacturers audit Samash listings to ensure compliance with Minimum Advertised Price policies across all product lines.

04
Brand Catalogue Auditing

Brands verify that their products are represented correctly with accurate specifications and high-resolution images.

05
Market Research

Analysts track new product introductions, category expansion, and out-of-stock rates to gauge consumer demand.

06
Supply Chain Tracking

Distributors monitor inventory levels across specific categories to anticipate wholesale ordering needs.

Why DataFlirt

"The musical instrument retail market relies on precise specification data and real-time inventory signals. Building the pipeline to extract this at scale is a massive infrastructure challenge."

Most teams underestimate the investment required to normalise messy specification tables across diverse product categories like guitars, synths, and recording gear. DataFlirt absorbs that complexity so your engineers can focus on the analysis, not the infrastructure.

Infrastructure

Infrastructure powering the Samash 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 and deduplication. Playwright handles JavaScript rendering and interaction flows for dynamic inventory.

Residential Proxy Infrastructure

We maintain pools of residential ISP proxies across US regions. Rotation happens per request to prevent IP bans from retail firewalls.

Cloud-Native Orchestration

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

Common questions.

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

Ask us directly →
Is scraping Samash legal?

Scraping publicly available product and pricing information is generally permissible. DataFlirt targets only public, non-authenticated catalog data. We do not extract personal data or circumvent authentication walls. Clients should review terms of service and consult legal counsel for specific use cases.

How do you handle inconsistent specification formats?

Musical instruments have vastly different specs than pro audio gear. We build category-specific parsers that map unstructured or semi-structured HTML tables into a strict, normalised JSON schema.

Can you track the used gear section specifically?

Yes. We can isolate crawls to the used inventory pages, capturing unique items, condition ratings, and specific store locations. We use URL hashing to track when unique used items are sold or removed.

How fresh is the data?

We typically run full catalogue refreshes at a daily cadence. For specific high-value categories or used gear monitoring, we can configure hourly pipeline runs.

Do you extract high-resolution images?

We extract the direct URLs to the highest resolution images available on the product page. We do not download and host the image files directly, but provide the links in the structured output.

Can I request a sample dataset before committing?

Absolutely. We provide a sample run of up to 500 products as part of the pre-engagement scoping process so you can validate schema fit and data quality before signing any contract.
