Scraping Tips

Coupang splits the content of the website into multiple product listing pages to display products. In order to collect as much product information as possible, you need to scrape each web page.

Click 1, 2, 3 ... web page one by one and check out how each page’s URL address changes. In general, page number parameters followed by page= would change in order (e.g. page=2, page=3, page=4 ...). You can simply change the parameters and create new URLs. You can also copy each page’s address and paste it one by one!


Just in a couple of seconds, all of your data will be automatically collected. REMEMBER! It only takes five seconds.
