Client
The client, a fast-growing retail intelligence company, required a scalable system for Darkstore Product Mapping from Swiggy Instamart, Zepto & BlinkIt to support their competitive analytics workflows. Their internal teams were unable to Scrape Instamart, Zepto & BlinkIt Darkstore Pricing and Stock Data at the scale needed for daily reporting. They wanted reliable datasets produced through a Darkstore Product Data Scraper from Instamart that could auto-update, detect catalogue changes, and maintain 100% SKU accuracy. They approached us to build a dependable solution with structured outputs that aligned with their analytics models, dashboards, and decision-support tools.
Key Challenges
- Frequent Platform Layout Changes on Zepto: The client needed to Scrape Darkstore Product Data from Zepto, but the platform frequently updated layouts, blocking earlier crawlers and causing data gaps that disrupted pricing intelligence workflows and reduced the accuracy of comparative SKU analysis across monitored darkstores.
- High-Frequency Inventory Updates on BlinkIt: They struggled to Extract Darkstore Product Data from BlinkIt at scale, as inventory updates occurred multiple times daily, making it difficult to capture real-time price changes, stock-outs, and dynamic product variations across multiple store locations.
- Limited Internal Expertise in App Data Scraping: Their team lacked internal expertise in Grocery App Data Scraping services, resulting in inconsistencies in product mapping, missing fields, unstable scripts, and delays in producing daily datasets required by their analytics and supply-chain intelligence team.
Key Solutions
- Robust Real-Time Scraping Pipeline: We built a robust pipeline using Grocery Delivery Scraping API Services, capable of handling dynamic HTML, API-based extraction, and rotating proxies to ensure uninterrupted real-time data collection across all targeted darkstores without workflow failures.
- Centralized Grocery Price Dashboard: We implemented an automated Grocery Price Dashboard allowing centralized monitoring of daily price shifts, SKU availability, pack-size variations, and product additions or removals, helping the client visualize insights instantly across multiple cities.
- Real-Time Price Tracking Dashboard Integration: Our system integrated a live Grocery Price Tracking Dashboard which captured time-stamped changes, offering continuous tracking of stock-outs, promotions, and replenishments while delivering structured JSON outputs aligned with the client’s BI ecosystem.
Sample Data Table
| Darkstore | SKUs Tracked | Cities Covered | Daily Updates | Price Change Events |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Instamart | 4,200 | 18 | 6 | 1,240 |
| Zepto | 3,950 | 15 | 5 | 1,110 |
| BlinkIt | 4,500 | 20 | 7 | 1,380 |
Methodologies Used
- Modular and Resilient Data Pipelines: Implemented structured data pipelines using modular crawlers capable of handling dynamic interfaces, ensuring consistent extraction across multiple platforms without failure during UI or endpoint-level changes.
- Automated and Timely Extraction Schedules: Designed automated schedulers that executed extraction cycles at predefined intervals, capturing every relevant update without missing crucial real-time changes in darkstore inventories.
- Standardized Data Normalization Framework: Utilized data normalization processes to unify extracted fields, ensuring standardized SKU names, prices, pack sizes, and inventory statuses suitable for analytics, dashboards, and modeling.
- Multi-Layer Quality and Accuracy Validation: Ensured multi-layer validation checks to cross-verify data completeness, detect anomalies early, and maintain consistently high dataset accuracy across all marketplaces.
- Seamless BI and API Integration Delivery: Delivered datasets in multiple formats, integrating smoothly with the client's BI tools while supporting seamless API ingestion for internal applications.
