Pack Sizes On The Same Page

Sometimes retailers will have multiple pack size variations on the same product page. When this happens, if the product URL changes when different options are selected we are fine, however when the URL doesn't change we have to add something to the end of the URLs to tell our scrapers which variant to take data for.


One example is Home Depot Pro (website is supplyworks.com). Here's an example of what we do:


https://www.supplyworks.com/Sku/REN05240/renown-medium-yellow-latex-flock-lined-gloves-741224052405-ren05240 - This product has multiple options (PR, PK, CA or Pair, Pack, Case).




When selecting the options the URL doesn't change so instead we'd load into our system like this.....

https://www.supplyworks.com/Sku/REN05240/renown-medium-yellow-latex-flock-lined-gloves-741224052405-ren05240?uomCode=PR

https://www.supplyworks.com/Sku/REN05240/renown-medium-yellow-latex-flock-lined-gloves-741224052405-ren05240?uomCode=PK

https://www.supplyworks.com/Sku/REN05240/renown-medium-yellow-latex-flock-lined-gloves-741224052405-ren05240?uomCode=CA


If the VPN doesn't change then we'd just addend this with '-PR' or something similar to differentiate
