Use Wholesale Marine Parts & Pricing Scraper with Python

Search or browse Wholesale Marine's boat parts, electronics, and outdoor gear catalog by keyword, category, or brand, with live pricing, stock status, SKUs, images, and ratings per product.

1. Choose the data you need

Review the published README for supported collection modes, examples, and limits. The recipe below uses the current published input definition.

2. Prepare a source-based input

This JSON contains published prefills and required-field defaults. Review every value for your task before running it; it is not a promise of successful collection.

{
  "extraBrandSlugs": [],
  "extraCategoryPaths": [],
  "extraSearchQueries": [],
  "inStockOnly": false,
  "includeDescriptionHtml": false,
  "includeDetails": true,
  "includeRatings": false,
  "maxItems": 3,
  "maxItemsPerQuery": 50,
  "mode": "keyword_search",
  "productUrls": [],
  "searchQuery": "propeller",
  "sortOrder": "relevance"
}

Download input.example.json and save your reviewed copy as input.json.

Field	Type	Required	Description
`mode`	string	required	What to fetch.
`searchQuery`	string	optional	Free-text product, part-number or UPC search (mode=keyword_search), e.g. `propeller`, `8M0097854`, `652480100512`.
`extraSearchQueries`	array	optional	Optional additional keyword queries for the same run (mode=keyword_search). Duplicates are removed.
`categoryPath`	string	optional	Pick a category to browse (mode=category_browse). Full paths work, e.g. `boat-anchors/claw-anchors`.
`extraCategoryPaths`	array	optional	Any additional category slug, path or URL (mode=category_browse), including subcategories not in the dropdown.
`brandSlug`	string	optional	Pick a brand to browse (mode=brand_browse).
`extraBrandSlugs`	array	optional	Any additional brand slug, name or URL (mode=brand_browse).
`productUrls`	array	optional	Wholesale Marine product URLs or slugs to fetch in full detail (mode=direct_product_url).
`sortOrder`	string	optional	Order for keyword/category/brand results. `relevance` is the site's best-match order for keyword search; category and brand use featured order for it. Ignored by full_catalog.
`fullCatalogSort`	string	optional	Order for mode=full_catalog: newest, best selling, featured, or the store's default catalog order.
`minPrice`	integer	optional	Drop products priced below this amount.
`maxPrice`	integer	optional	Drop products priced above this amount.
`inStockOnly`	boolean	optional	Drop products whose inventory says they are out of stock. Listing pages already show in-stock products only; this also affects brand, full-catalog and product-URL runs.
`includeDetails`	boolean	optional	Enrich listing results with SKU, stock, specifications, variants, images and description. Adds Storefront API requests; turn off for a faster, card-only run.
`includeRatings`	boolean	optional	Fetch each product's customer rating and review count from the store's review widget. Adds one request per product.
`includeDescriptionHtml`	boolean	optional	Add the original (cleaned) product description HTML, including specification and fitment tables. Increases record size.
`maxItems`	integer	optional	Hard cap on emitted product records.
`maxItemsPerQuery`	integer	optional	Cap for each keyword query or category batch. Brand and full-catalog runs use maxItems instead.

3. Start an Actor run

Set APIFY_TOKEN in your environment. Python 3.10 or newer is sufficient; this recipe uses no third-party packages.

Execution may incur charges. Review current pricing on Apify. The request asks for a 120-second timeout and a charge limit; these settings are subject to Apify’s pricing and do not guarantee an all-inclusive spending cap.

import json
import os
import urllib.request

# Save the schema-derived example as input.json; review and edit it first.
with open("input.json", encoding="utf-8") as stream:
    actor_input = json.load(stream)

token = os.environ["APIFY_TOKEN"]
request = urllib.request.Request(
    "https://api.apify.com/v2/acts/3TB30kbBWMkj0uRW7/runs?timeout=120&maxTotalChargeUsd=0.50",
    data=json.dumps(actor_input).encode("utf-8"),
    headers={"Authorization": "Bearer " + token, "Content-Type": "application/json"},
    method="POST",
)
# This starts a potentially billable run. Do not automatically retry this POST.
with urllib.request.urlopen(request, timeout=40) as response:
    run = json.load(response)["data"]
print("Run ID:", run["id"])
print("Status:", run["status"])
# Inspect and download results in Apify Console once the run succeeds.

4. Inspect the actual results

Open the run in Apify Console and wait for a successful completion. Use the published output schema to locate results and the dataset schema to understand declared views. Missing or optional record fields must not be treated as guaranteed values.

Questions before you run

Which inputs are required?

The published required fields are mode

What does this guide verify?

The fields, prefills, and schema links are rendered from the published build. This is a usage recipe, not a paid live extraction test. Source availability and collection results can vary.

What if the run request times out?

Check Apify Console before retrying. The first request may already have created a run. Do not automatically repeat a run-creation POST.
