Extract a Competitor's Product Catalogue
Pull structured product data from a competitor's catalogue — names, prices, descriptions, and images — for competitive analysis.
Quick answer: Use the Catalogue Scraper tool through ToolRouter to extract a competitor's product catalogue directly from Claude, ChatGPT, Microsoft Copilot, and OpenClaw — connect once, then drive it with plain-language prompts. No code required.
ToolUnderstanding a competitor's full product range, pricing structure, and how they describe their products is valuable intelligence — but manually copying data from hundreds of product pages is not a viable research method. Most teams end up with incomplete spot-checks instead of a complete picture.
Catalogue Scraper's `scrape_catalogue` skill extracts structured product data across an entire catalogue in one job: names, prices, descriptions, SKUs, categories, and images. The output is a clean dataset you can compare against your own range, analyze for pricing patterns, or feed into a competitive intelligence workflow.
Product managers, pricing analysts, and market research teams use this to build baseline competitor datasets, track product range changes over time, and identify positioning gaps between their catalogue and a competitor's.

Use Claude with Catalogue Scraper to extract a competitor's product data and immediately analyze the competitive landscape. Claude can identify pricing patterns, spot positioning differences, and compare extracted categories against your own product range without you needing to structure the analysis separately.
How to extract a competitor's product catalogue
Once connected (see setup above), use the Catalogue Scraper tool — the same steps work with Claude, ChatGPT, Microsoft Copilot, OpenClaw, and any MCP client:
- Provide the competitor's catalogue URL and specify the categories or product types you want to focus on.
- Ask Claude to use `catalogue-scraper` with `scrape_catalogue` to extract the product data.
- Ask Claude to analyze the extracted data for pricing patterns, product positioning, and category structure.
- Follow up with specific comparison questions against your own product range.
Example prompt
Try this with the Catalogue Scraper tool
Use catalogue-scraper to extract products from this competitor's catalogue: https://competitor.com/products. I sell mid-range kitchen appliances. Extract all product names, prices, categories, and descriptions. Then tell me: what price points do they cluster around, what categories do they have that I don't, and where do our ranges overlap?
Tips
- Provide context about your own product range so Claude can compare rather than just describe.
- Ask for pricing distribution (e.g., how many products are under £50, £50-£100, over £100) rather than individual prices.
- Look for description language patterns — how a competitor frames features often reveals their positioning strategy.
