Structured data vs raw scraping infrastructure
Oxylabs is excellent at what it does: reliable proxies and scraper APIs for collecting web data. But it returns raw results — for Google Shopping pricing you still build the parsing, country handling and product matching, and maintain them. ShoppingScraper returns structured, matched Google Shopping offers from a single endpoint — scheduled as standard, Real-Time on Enterprise.
- No parsers or matching to build and maintain
- We absorb Google's layout changes
- 40+ Google Shopping countries from one contract
The matching layer Oxylabs doesn't provide
Raw scraping infrastructure has no concept of your catalog. ShoppingScraper's resolver matches each EAN/GTIN to the correct Google Shopping product, so the offers you receive are the right ones. On Enterprise you also get the matched Google Shopping product ID to persist mappings.
- Real-time EAN/GTIN → correct product resolution
- Matched Google Shopping product ID on Enterprise
- Built for pricing platforms, repricers and large catalogs
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I scrape Google Shopping with Oxylabs?+
You can collect the pages, but you own the parsing, country coverage and product matching, plus maintenance. ShoppingScraper returns that as structured, matched data so your team consumes it directly.
Does Oxylabs match products by EAN/GTIN?+
No. Matching is a layer you would build on top. ShoppingScraper resolves EAN/GTIN to the right Google Shopping product.
Who manages proxies?+
Both manage proxy infrastructure. With Oxylabs you operate the collection on top; with ShoppingScraper the entire Google Shopping pipeline is managed and returned structured.
When is Oxylabs the better fit?+
If you need general-purpose proxies and scraper APIs across many sites with low-level control, Oxylabs is a strong choice. For matched Google Shopping data, ShoppingScraper is purpose-built.
