JSON / CSV / Parquet pushed to your S3 bucket, BigQuery dataset, or Snowflake stage on agreed cadence.
Apparel scraping involves complex variant matrices and aggressive bot protection. Here is how we stay resilient.
Retailers use strict WAF rules to block scrapers. Our crawlers use residential ISP proxies with realistic browser fingerprints, randomised request timing, and full cookie session management trained on real user behaviour patterns.
Sports Direct size grids and stock statuses are heavily JavaScript-rendered. We run full Playwright browser sessions with JavaScript execution to trigger size selection and capture accurate stock data.
Retail DOM structures change frequently. Our selector strategy uses multiple fallback chains per field so a layout change does not break your data pipeline overnight.
For large apparel catalogues, we maintain a hash index of last-seen values per field. Subsequent runs only push diffs reducing compute cost, storage bloat, and downstream processing load.
Every run emits structured logs to our observability stack. We alert on null-rate spikes, price outliers, schema drift, and coverage drops and respond before you notice.
Sporting goods retailers track Sports Direct pricing and promotional offers to optimise their own pricing strategies.
Merchandising teams analyse brand presence, category depth, and size availability to inform buying decisions.
Apparel brands monitor retail prices to ensure compliance with Minimum Advertised Price agreements.
Analysts track clearance velocity and multi-buy mechanics to understand promotional effectiveness.
Supply chain teams correlate stock depth indicators and size sell-outs with market demand.
Investment analysts track category expansion and brand distribution to estimate retail market share.
"Sports Direct holds one of the largest multi-brand sporting apparel catalogues in Europe, but extracting structured size and stock data requires continuous pipeline maintenance."
Apparel scraping involves complex parent-child variant relationships. Managing size grids, colour variations, and dynamic promotional flags across hundreds of thousands of SKUs requires full JavaScript rendering and strict schema validation. DataFlirt handles the infrastructure so you can focus on retail analytics.
Everything supported by our sportsdirect.com scraper — rendered SPA elements, auth walls, rate-limit evasion and beyond.
Open-source tooling on proven cloud infra — no vendor lock-in, full observability.
Scrapy handles crawl orchestration, deduplication, and retry logic. Playwright handles JavaScript rendering, cookie sessions, and interaction flows. Combined via scrapy-playwright middleware.
We maintain pools of residential ISP proxies across UK regions. Rotation happens per-request with sticky sessions where required. IP score monitoring prevents blacklisted pool contamination.
Pipelines run on AWS Lambda (burst) and ECS (sustained). Airflow handles scheduling, dependency management, and SLA alerting. All state stored in managed Postgres.
Data delivered to where your team already works — no new tooling required.

We use residential ISP proxies, full Playwright browser sessions with realistic fingerprints, and request timing modelled on human behaviour. Our selectors have multi-layer fallback chains so DOM changes do not break the pipeline.
Yes. We can scope the pipeline to target specific brand pages like Nike, Adidas, or Under Armour, ignoring the rest of the catalogue to reduce compute costs and delivery time.
Yes. We extract all available sizing formats presented on the product page and map them to standard columns in the delivery schema alongside stock availability flags.
Pipelines can be configured to run daily or hourly depending on your requirements. Change detection ensures you only receive updates when a price drops or stock status changes.
Absolutely. We provide a sample run of up to 500 SKUs or specific category pages as part of the pre-engagement scoping process so you can validate schema fit and data quality.
