Option 2: Build Your Own Subito Scraper

No pre-built Subito scraper API? No problem. Bright Data's AI Scraper Builder generates a custom Subito scraper in just a few clicks — no coding required.

Build your Subito scraper in minutes

Open the Subito AI Scraper Builder →

Choose the domain, outline your data requirements, and let our AI scraper builder automatically create the API.

1. Describe data needs in plain English
2. AI instantly generates the scraper API
3. Run API requests for immediate results
4. Edit the code in the built-in IDE, if needed

Once built, your scraper gets a Web Scraper ID (gd_xxxxxxxxxxxx) — copy it for the Setup step below.

Prerequisites

• Python 3.9 or higher
• A Bright Data account (free trial available)
• A Bright Data API token (how to get one)
• A Web Scraper ID for Subito (from the build step above)

Setup

1. Clone this repository

   git clone https://github.com/luminati-io/subito-price-tracker.git
   cd subito-price-tracker

2. Install dependencies

   pip install -r requirements.txt

3. Configure credentials

   Copy .env.example to .env and fill in your values:

   cp .env.example .env

   BRIGHTDATA_API_TOKEN=your_api_token_here
   BRIGHTDATA_DATASET_ID=your_dataset_id_here

   Your Web Scraper ID Paste the Web Scraper ID from your AI Scraper Builder dashboard into BRIGHTDATA_DATASET_ID (format: gd_xxxxxxxxxxxx).

Usage

Once your Subito scraper is built and your Web Scraper ID is configured in .env, the Python interface works the same way:

1. Track Specific Products by URL

Pass a list of Subito product URLs to retrieve structured price data:

from price_tracker import track_prices

urls = [
    "https://www.subito.it/product/sample-item-123456",
    # Add more product URLs here
]

results = track_prices(urls)
for item in results:
    print(f"{item.get('title')} - {item.get('final_price', item.get('price'))} {item.get('currency', '')}")

Or run directly:

python price_tracker.py

2. Discover Products by Keyword

Find products matching a keyword search:

from price_tracker import discover_by_keyword

results = discover_by_keyword("laptop", limit=50)

3. Browse Products by Category URL

Collect all products from a Subito category page:

from price_tracker import discover_by_category

results = discover_by_category(
    "https://subito.it/category/example",
    limit=100,
)

---
