A Powerful Mobile App Scraping Solution for Smarter eCommerce Analytics

About Product

DxMinds partnered with a global brand monitoring platform to solve a growing challenge in eCommerce analytics: extracting accurate product data from mobile apps.
Traditional web scraping was no longer enough. Many marketplaces were displaying exclusive deals, unique images, and personalized promotions only inside their mobile apps—leaving blind spots for brands trying to monitor competitor pricing or product placement.
DxMinds built a robust Mobile App Scraping (MAS) engine that could mimic user behavior inside mobile apps, collect real-time pricing data, and deliver clean, structured insights to the client’s platform.

Problem Statement

The Blind Spot in Brand Monitoring

The client—one of the leaders in online brand protection—was facing difficulty in capturing accurate product data from mobile-first marketplaces.
Their existing tools could only scrape desktop or mobile web, but key promotions (like app-only discounts or limited-time bundle offers) were only visible inside mobile apps.

The challenge was to build a solution that could:

Access thousands of eCommerce apps globally
Extract price, image, and product metadata
Handle country-specific restrictions
Scale continuously without detection or ban

Planning

We worked with the client to define target markets and product categories, aiming to extract structured data like pricing, discounts, and SKUs while avoiding anti-scraping barriers.

Designing

Our team built a modular scraping system with session handling, gesture-based navigation, and OCR for complex app layouts.

Development

We used headless mobile setups with emulators and proxies to mimic real user behavior, extracting data through UI traversal, network sniffing, and screen parsing as fallback.

Testing

Each integration was tested across devices, regions, and app versions to ensure consistency, along with checks for ban resistance and scalable performance.

Launch

The system was deployed to extract and sync data daily across thousands of products and dozens of apps globally.

Maintenance

Ongoing support included updating scraping logic for app UI changes, rotating proxies, and monitoring API failure rates.

Solution

DxMinds Development Journey with Mobile App Scraping

Using Mobile App Scraping (MAS), our company was able to quickly collect a large amount of pricing data from multiple mobile apps. This helped us analyze pricing strategies more deeply and allowed us to focus on other important areas of our business.

Our Project Challenges

with the latest Technological
Innovations

App-Only Discounts and Dynamic Layouts

Apps used geo-targeted or user-specific logic to show deals, making uniform scraping difficult.

Accessing Apps from Different Countries

We needed to scrape from country-specific IPs to unlock localized content and pricing.

Anti-Bot Detection

Apps had mechanisms to detect automation—requiring human-like simulation, randomized timings, and frequent fingerprint changes.

Our Services

Conceptualization

We began by deeply understanding the client’s goals — to extract accurate, real-time data from eCommerce mobile apps that were previously inaccessible. This involved designing a roadmap for target app identification, regional content coverage, and secure automation.

Design

Our team architected a modular scraping framework that could mimic human behavior inside mobile apps. This included custom workflows for touch interactions, navigation sequences, and dynamic content loading — ensuring smooth data flow from app to dashboard.

Development and Launch

We built and deployed a powerful Mobile App Scraping engine that emulates mobile environments, bypasses anti-bot systems, rotates geo-targeted IPs, and delivers clean data through custom APIs—rolled out in phases across major global marketplaces.

Result

From Blind Spots to 360° Visibility

Geo-targeted scraping across 10+ countries
