B&H Photo Pro Audio Catalog Scraper

Scrapes B&H Photo's Pro Audio catalog and returns structured product data including SKU, pricing, stock status, ratings, specs, and features. Supports microphones, studio monitors, audio interfaces, mixers, headphones, signal processors, and podcast gear. Also optionally scrapes used and B-stock inventory.

What it does

This actor crawls B&H Photo Video Pro Audio (bhphotovideo.com) catalog pages across multiple Pro Audio sub-categories. For each product, it:

1. Crawls sub-category listing pages to discover product URLs
2. Fetches each product detail page
3. Extracts structured data from JSON-LD product schemas and HTML selectors

Cloudflare protection on B&H is bypassed via CapSolver's AntiCloudflareTask — the clearance cookie is obtained once and reused for the entire run.

Notes

• B&H Photo requires Cloudflare bypass via CapSolver — run costs include captcha-solving fees priced into the PPE coefficient
• Product images are CDN-hosted and may not be permanently accessible at the returned URLs
• Used/B-stock listings are available via the includeUsed flag and populate is_b_stock_used: true
• The actor respects B&H's rate limits with 500ms delays between detail page fetches
