Capabilities

Confectionery intelligence from sees.com

Our scraper handles the complexities of the See's Candies platform: dynamic custom mix configurators, unstructured ingredient lists, volume pricing matrices, and store locator APIs.

Product Catalogue Extraction

Extract SKUs, titles, descriptions, weights, piece counts, and imagery across all categories including chocolates, lollipops, and gifts.

Ingredient and Allergen Parsing

Tokenise complex ingredient strings and extract structured allergen warnings, Kosher certifications, and gluten-free flags.

Custom Mix Data Capture

Execute JavaScript to render the Custom Mix tool and extract available individual pieces, weights, and constraints.

Volume Pricing Matrices

Capture base prices alongside corporate gifting volume tiers and discount eligibility rules.

Store Locator Scraping

Poll the backend store locator API to extract all physical retail locations, operating hours, and available services.

Seasonal Availability Tracking

Monitor limited-time holiday items, seasonal packaging changes, and out-of-stock statuses across the calendar year.

Customer Review Aggregation

Paginate through product reviews to capture ratings, text, verified buyer flags, and helpful vote counts.

Nutritional Panel Extraction

Parse nutritional fact tables to structure calories, macros, and serving sizes for dietary analysis.

Automated Change Detection

Run recurring pipelines that only emit updated records when prices, ingredients, or stock levels change.

Under the hood

Handling sees.com technical constraints

Extracting structured data from a modern eCommerce frontend requires handling dynamic hydration and API rate limits. Here is our approach.

Dynamic rendering
Playwright execution for Custom Mix

The Custom Mix configurator relies heavily on client-side JavaScript. We run full Playwright browser sessions to hydrate the application state and extract the individual piece inventory.

Data normalisation
Ingredient and allergen structuring

Ingredient lists on sees.com are often unstructured text blocks. Our pipeline applies regex tokenisation to split ingredients and normalise allergen warnings into queryable arrays.

API extraction
Store locator polling

Physical store data is hidden behind a locator search interface. We bypass the frontend and query the underlying location APIs directly, iterating through US zip codes to build a complete retail footprint.

Change detection
Seasonal catalogue tracking

The See's Candies catalogue changes drastically during holidays. We maintain a hash index of all active SKUs, emitting diffs when seasonal items are introduced or retired.

Anti-bot layer
Residential proxy rotation

To prevent IP bans during full catalogue crawls, we route requests through US-based residential proxies, matching our crawl rate to standard user behaviour.

Applications

Who uses See's Candies data

Infrastructure

Infrastructure powering the pipeline

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

ScrapyPlaywrightPython 3.12RedisPostgreSQLApache AirflowAWS LambdaS3CloudWatch2CaptchaCapSolverResidential ProxiesDockerKubernetesGrafanaPrometheus
Scrapy and Playwright Integration

Scrapy orchestrates the catalogue traversal while Playwright handles JavaScript execution for dynamic components like the Custom Mix tool.

Residential Proxy Management

We route requests through US residential IPs, rotating per request to avoid rate limits while polling store locator APIs and product pages.

Cloud-Native Orchestration

Pipelines execute on AWS Lambda and ECS. Airflow manages scheduling and dependency trees, with all pipeline state stored in managed PostgreSQL.

Common questions.

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

Ask us directly →
Is scraping sees.com legal?

Scraping publicly available product, pricing, and location data is generally permissible. DataFlirt targets only public, non-authenticated endpoints. We do not extract personal user data or circumvent authentication walls. Clients should review applicable terms of service and consult legal counsel.

How do you extract data from the Custom Mix tool?

We use Playwright to execute the client-side JavaScript required to render the Custom Mix configurator. This allows us to extract the individual pieces, associated weights, and box constraints that are not present in the static HTML.

Can you parse unstructured ingredient lists?

Yes. We apply regex tokenisation to the raw ingredient text blocks, separating individual ingredients and structuring allergen warnings into distinct, queryable JSON arrays.

How fresh is the data?

Full catalogue crawls typically execute daily or weekly depending on your requirements. Store location APIs can be polled at higher frequencies if tracking specific retail footprint changes.

Do you track seasonal product changes?

Yes. Our change detection system maintains a hash index of the catalogue. When holiday items are added or removed, the pipeline emits a diff highlighting the seasonal inventory shifts.

Can you extract volume discount tiers?

Yes. We capture base prices alongside any visible volume discount matrices, including minimum purchase quantities required for corporate gifting rates.

What is the minimum engagement?

We offer managed pipelines starting with weekly deliveries of the full product catalogue and store locations. Contact us with your specific data requirements for a scoped proposal.
