Dynamic Deal Widgets
Playwright execution for affiliate prices

T3 relies on third-party JavaScript widgets (like Hawk) to display live prices and retailer links. Standard HTTP requests miss this entirely. We use Playwright to execute the page, wait for the widget to hydrate, and extract the rendered pricing data.

Editorial variability
Resilient selectors for bespoke layouts

Journalistic content often breaks standard template structures. Our parsers use multi-layered selectors and NLP-assisted text extraction to identify pros, cons, and ratings even when the DOM layout changes.

Pagination handling
Infinite scroll and lazy loading

Category pages and search results on T3 use lazy-loaded infinite scroll. Our crawlers simulate user scroll behaviour to trigger API calls, ensuring full catalogue coverage without missing older articles.

Anti-bot layer
CDN and WAF bypass

Future PLC (T3's publisher) employs strict CDN caching and WAF rules. We route requests through residential proxies with realistic browser headers to maintain access without triggering rate limits.

Change detection
Only scrape updated buying guides

T3 frequently updates existing buying guides rather than publishing new ones. We maintain state on article modification dates, ensuring we only re-scrape and deliver guides that have actually changed.

Applications

Who uses T3 data - and how

Common questions.

About t3.com scraping, legality, and pipeline operations.

Ask us directly →
Is scraping T3 legal?

Yes. We extract only publicly available editorial content, reviews, and pricing data. We do not access user accounts, scrape personal data, or bypass authentication walls.

Can you extract prices from the embedded retailer widgets?

Yes. T3 uses third-party JavaScript widgets to display live prices. Our Playwright integration renders these widgets fully before extraction.

How frequently can you update buying guides?

We typically run daily diffs on buying guides, monitoring the 'last updated' timestamp to capture structural changes or new top picks.

Do you capture historical reviews?

Yes. We can traverse the site archive to extract years of historical reviews and T3 Awards data for longitudinal analysis.

What is the difference between buying guides and reviews in your schema?

Reviews focus on single products with deep technical specs and verdicts. Buying guides are listicles with rankings, top picks, and comparative summaries. We use distinct schemas for each.

What is the minimum viable engagement?

We start at targeted category extraction (e.g., all smartphone reviews) delivered weekly. Contact us to scope your specific data requirements.
