Rockwell Automation Scraper Suite
Crawloop provides production-grade Apify Actors for the Rockwell Automation and Allen-Bradley hardware catalog — structured JSON and CSV export for procurement teams, system integrators, and BOM engineering workflows.
Extract catalog numbers, technical specifications, product lifecycle status, replacement SKUs, literature PDFs, and parsed TD datasheet specs — without manual copy-paste from vendor portals.

specs from TD PDFs
Rockwell’s public site uses an Elasticsearch-backed product-details servlet. There is no global OneSearch-style API — the Full Catalog Crawler walks sitemap family pages and paginates PIM category IDs.
Which Rockwell Apify Actor do I need?
| Your goal | Actor |
|---|---|
| Build a full Allen-Bradley SKU list from catalog families | Full Catalog Crawler |
| Get specs, literature PDFs, dimensions, accessories per catalog number | Product Scraper |
| Bulk BOM lifecycle and replacement catalog numbers | Lifecycle Tracker |
| Download TD PDFs, manuals, and drawings to Key-Value Store | Document Downloader |
| Parse TD PDFs to structured JSON (no browser) | Datasheet Parser |
Use cases
Allen-Bradley BOM obsolescence audit
Run the Lifecycle Tracker on your catalog number list. Filter discontinued parts and replacements. Enrich migration parts with the Product Scraper.
Procurement catalog export
Discover SKUs with the Full Catalog Crawler. Export deduplicated catalog numbers with breadcrumbs for ERP or PIM import.
Technical documentation pack
Download literature PDFs via the Document Downloader. Extract specification tables with the Datasheet Parser.
High-volume TD datasheet extraction
Document Downloader → Datasheet Parser. HTTP download plus parse-only chain — no browser on the parse step.
Pricing
Pay-per-event on Apify. Billed only for successful results — not for NOT_FOUND or FAILED rows.

|---|---|
| Full Catalog Crawler, Product Scraper, Lifecycle Tracker, Document Downloader | from $2–5 / 1,000 results |
| Datasheet Parser (parse-only) | $10 / 1,000 PDFs |
Exact pricing is shown on each Actor page before you run.
Quick start
- Create a free Apify account.
- Open an Actor from the table above.
- Paste Allen-Bradley catalog numbers or configure discovery mode.
- Download results as JSON, CSV, or PDFs from Key-Value Store.
Lifecycle check example — run on Lifecycle Tracker:
{
"catalogNumbers": ["1756-L81E"],
"concurrencyLimit": 1
}
Full product record — run on Product Scraper:
{
"catalogNumbers": ["1756-L81E", "25B-E027N104"],
"includeAccessories": true,
"concurrencyLimit": 5
}
API integration
All Actors support the Apify API and apify-client (Python / JavaScript).
pip install apify-client
from apify_client import ApifyClient
client = ApifyClient("YOUR_APIFY_TOKEN")
run = client.actor("crawloop/rockwell-lifecycle-tracker").call(
run_input={"catalogNumbers": ["1756-L81E"], "concurrencyLimit": 1}
)
for item in client.dataset(run["defaultDatasetId"]).iterate_items():
print(item["lifecyclePhase"], item.get("replacementCatalogNumber"))
Frequently asked questions
What is a Rockwell Automation scraper?
A Rockwell Automation scraper automates extraction of product data from the Allen-Bradley hardware catalog — catalog numbers, specifications, lifecycle status, and document links — into structured JSON or CSV for downstream ERP, PIM, or analytics systems.
How do I export Allen-Bradley catalog numbers?
Use the Full Catalog Crawler to discover SKUs from sitemap family pages and the public product-details API. Output is deduplicated catalog numbers with breadcrumbs and PDP URLs.
How do I check Rockwell product lifecycle and replacement parts?
The Lifecycle Tracker bulk-checks lifecycle phase and replacement catalog numbers — faster and lower cost than scraping full product pages.
Can I download Rockwell datasheet PDFs automatically?
Yes. Use the Document Downloader for literature PDFs from literature.rockwellautomation.com. Parse TD PDFs to JSON with the Datasheet Parser.
Is this official Rockwell software?
No. These are unofficial integrations by Crawloop. Not affiliated with, sponsored by, or endorsed by Rockwell Automation Inc.
