Hey GZ Community,

 

As many of you already know me from the PB Tech Deals Scraper site, I'm thrilled to finally announce another project I've been working on: a dedicated tool for JB Hi-Fi.

 

With the holidays fast approaching and everyone looking to score the best gifts (and maybe a few treats for themselves!), I'm excited to officially launch the JB Hi-Fi Deals Filterer! This is perfect for snagging those last remaining deals from the Black Friday/Cyber Monday season and, more importantly, making your Christmas shopping a breeze. The goal is to transform JB's huge catalog into a highly searchable list so you can effortlessly find real clearance stock and genuine price drops, making your budget stretch further this Christmas.

JB Hi-Fi Deals Filterer — v1.0 Initial Launch

 

Welcome to the first official release! This scraper is built to help you slice and dice through the JB Hi-Fi catalog faster than ever, ensuring you don't miss any holiday bargains.

 

Key Features

 

  • Deep Discount Finder: The essential feature for any bargain hunters! - you can easily sort the entire list by % Off to find the items with the biggest percentage price drops first. This is crucial for spotting those hidden clearance items perfect for gifts.
  • Instant Search: Start typing any product name, brand, or description, and the list filters instantly. No slow page reloads—just immediate results across thousands of products.
  • Smart Categories: Focus your hunt with one click. Use the quick tabs to browse specific categories like Computers, Gaming, Audio, Phones, and more, helping you find gifts efficiently.
  • Mobile Optimized: Designed to feel like an app on your phone, making it super easy to check deals while you're out and about or hiding from the family. It's clean, fast, and eliminates horizontal scrolling.
  • Dark Mode Support: Saves your eyes during those late-night sessions of checking prices and planning your gift haul.
  • Quick Links: Each product title links directly to the JB Hi-Fi store page. Plus, there's a handy G icon next to each entry if you want to quickly Google the product for reviews or specs before buying.
  • If you genuinely like the site and find it useful for your bargain hunting, feel free to donate. **No stress at all, but any contribution helps cover the hosting costs and development time to keep the site running fast, updated, and completely ad-free (of course!). You can find the Buy Me a Coffee link at the top right of the page.

 

 

This data is scraped periodically to keep it fresh for the holiday rush. I've done my best to squash initial bugs (thanks to your guys feedback from the PBScraper Site comments), but please let me know in the comments if you spot any issues or have a great idea for a new feature.

 

 

Happy hunting, and Merry Christmas planning!

surely the next step is to feed them all into one site, and you've then made a replacement for pricespy/priceme.

What are the chances these sites block your access and break the tool? I could understand some reluctance from their side to have this information collated in this manner.

I think price comparison sites can accept a feed from the retailer e-commerce software system.

 

Although I seem to recall PB Tech have that virtual queue thing when their site is busy lol

No idea about PriceMe, but PriceSpy's FAQ makes reference to providing a feed to them (and many retailers, including PB Tech and JB Hi-Fi, actually pay per clickthrough to have PriceSpy link to their site/product pages).

This is exactly what I'm planning on doing sometime later - creating some sort of welcome page where u can select which store you want to browse. Thanks for the suggestion!

So with these catalogs that I'm scraping, they aren't sending requests to their backend meaning I gather the info visible on their frontend intermittently to update the deals catalog. I'd assume it's alright with most stores since the links are direct and ad free
