"https://api.scrapeunblocker.com/getPageSource?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.lowes.com%2F&parsed_data=true"import requests
resp = requests.post(
"https://api.scrapeunblocker.com/getPageSource",
headers={"X-ScrapeUnblocker-Key": SU_API_KEY},
params={"url": "https://www.lowes.com/", "parsed_data": True},
)
print(resp.text)import { ScrapeUnblockerClient } from 'scrapeunblocker';
const su = new ScrapeUnblockerClient({ apiKey: process.env.SU_API_KEY });
const results = await su.getPageSource({

console.log(results); Requests are POST and take their parameters in the query string. Browser rendering always happens - there is no flag to enable.
Frequently asked questions
Is it legal to scrape Lowe's?
Collecting publicly available Lowe's data such as prices, specifications and store inventory is lawful in many jurisdictions, but the rules depend on your country, the data you collect and how you use it. ScrapeUnblocker returns the public page; what you collect and how you use it is your responsibility.
How do I scrape Lowe's without getting blocked?
Lowe's is protected by Akamai, and the challenge adds time before content is served. ScrapeUnblocker renders the page in a real browser, rotates residential and ISP exits and handles the challenge for you. In ScrapeUnblocker's benchmark it returned real content on 99.4% of 6,000 calls, about 28.3s per call.
What Lowe's data can I get?
Product pages give you the title, model number and item number, price, was-price and bulk pricing, store-level inventory and aisle location, the specifications table, and the rating and review count. Request structured JSON with parsed_data=true, or take the rendered HTML and parse it yourself.
Do I need a Lowe's API or account?
No. ScrapeUnblocker returns the public Lowe's page as HTML, or structured JSON with parsed_data=true, from one /getPageSource call with your ScrapeUnblocker key. No Lowe's account is involved. If content needs a click, typing or scrolling to appear, add steps to do that before the page is captured.
Can I monitor Lowe's prices at scale?
Yes. Send /getPageSource calls for Lowe's product and category pages in parallel up to your plan's concurrency limit: 20 to 100 concurrent requests on Pay as you go, Starter and Pro, and 200 to 400 on Business, Scale and Ultimate. Lowe's takes around 28 seconds per page, so size your concurrency for that response time.
How much does it cost to scrape Lowe's?
Each /getPageSource call is one request, and 1 request = 1 credit: EUR 1.00 per 1,000 on pay as you go, down to about EUR 0.55 per 1,000 on the Ultimate plan. A 403 block, a timeout, a 523 origin unreachable and errors on ScrapeUnblocker's side are not billed; delivered pages are, including Lowe's's own 404 page. The free trial includes 500 requests, no card.
