Scrape Google Shopping Product Results with Python
Contents: intro, imports, what will be scraped, process, code, links, outro.
This blog post is a continuation of Google's web scraping series. Here you'll see how to scrape Product Results using Python using beautifulsoup, requests, lxml libraries. An alternative API solution will be shown.
import requests, lxml, json
from bs4 import BeautifulSoup
from serpapi import GoogleSearch
- Found a container will all data.
- Used nested
forloops whenever data is not extracted fully. Note that nestedforloops could be pain in the neck if you want to get a structuredjson, e.g..update()existingdict(), but I could be wrong here. These words are based on my experience.

I will start by saying I am usually a huge fan of all things Google. My wife and I had the original Pixel for several years and raved about them to anyone who would listen. The batteries were finally starting to fail and it was time to get new phones. We both went for the Pixel 4 thinking we would get the same great phone we had loved for years. Even though I was disappointed right away, I waited a few months to leave a review to see if I just needed to get used to it. Now, months later, I can safely say I'm disappointed. I still cannot get over the loss of the backside fingerprint scanner. The facial recognition that took its place is useless 80% of the time (it won't work if you're wearing a face mask or in low lighting), 10% of the time it unlocks my phone unintentionally ... More

Waste of money, google removed key features just to put them in cheaper next gen phones.

One of the worst phones i have ever owned. Getting rid of the fingerprint scanner was a big mistake with this phone. The face unlock is such a stupid feature, and unnecessary when people already expect and like the fingerprint scan. The battery life is abysmal. My phone doesnt last even for 1 whole day with light usage. I have an iphone 8 plus for work and that phone has a great battery life even though it is much, much much older. That iphone lasts for 3 days with regular use, and a full day if i am streaming videos all day. The photos on the pixel are okay, i dont like that it applies a ton of blurring to faces. It will blue the heck out of your face to smooth everything and i dont like that. My selfies dont even look like me. And the night photos were the main draw, but ... More

Like another user said, face recognition is just not as good as a fingerprint scanner. With my fingerprint, I can unlock the phone whenever I'm holding it, no matter what position. With face recognition is has to be right up to my face. It's such a pain, and now that we're wearing masks all the time, it's really a problem. If there's low lighting, it also can't see me. As someone who was a fan of the Huawei Mate before the company was banned from the US, I'm glad the Pixel finally has an Ultra/Extreme Battery Saving mode. That was one of my favorite features as someone who always has low battery because I'm always on my phone. The latest update made the phone worse in my opinion. At first, the Messenger bumbles were messing up, but they fixed that. Now, every time I try ... More

'''You can go even further by applying Selenium that will click on More reviews button until there's nothing to click on in order to extract all review results.
SerpApi is a paid API with a free plan.
The difference I like the most is that it comes with structured JSON output and all you have to do is just to iterate over it.
Besides that, if you want to done things quickly, API is a way to go since you don't have to build everything from scratch by searching the right CSS selector or something else.
import json
from serpapi import GoogleSearch
params = {
"api_key": "YOUR_API_KEY",
"engine": "google_product",
"product_id": "14506091995175728218",
"gl": "us",
"hl": "en"
}
search = GoogleSearch(params)
results = search.get_dict()
title = results['product_results']['title']
prices = results['product_results']['prices']
reviews = results['product_results']['reviews']
rating = results['product_results']['rating']
extensions = results['product_results']['extensions']
description = results['product_results']['description']
user_reviews = results['product_results']['reviews']
reviews_results = results['reviews_results']['ratings']
print(f'{title}\n{prices}\n{reviews}\n{rating}\n{extensions}\n{description}\n{user_reviews}\n{reviews_results}')

'''You can also extract more reviews results using SerpApi by simply adding reviews parameter to params dictionary, e.g. "reviews": "1", which by default is 0 (OFF) and 1 (ON).
