stc Data Scraping

A Saudi plan price with VAT and one without differ by 15%. The page says which, and so does the record.

stc data scraping covers published mobile plans in Saudi Arabia from stc. Saudi VAT is 15%, and a price may be shown including or excluding it, so the VAT basis is recorded as shown for every plan and a missing statement is flagged, not guessed. The group's other countries are scoped separately. Plans are compared on total cost over the contract, not the advertised monthly price, and no order, credit check or sign-in is ever made.

A tax basis that is assumed rather than read is a 15% error waiting to happen.

stc at a glance

How we handle stc specifically

Platform-specific handling, not a generic retail template pointed at a different domain.

Operator: stc — Saudi Arabia
VAT: 15%
So: vat_basis as shown; missing flagged
Plans: Postpaid, prepaid, data-only
Regulator: Communications, Space and Technology Commission
Group: Other countries scoped separately
Currency: SAR
Refresh: Weekly

Platform specifics

The tax basis first

These are the reasons a stc dataset needs its own handling rather than a shared retail schema.

VAT as shown

Comparisons across Gulf operators mix VAT rates and display practices; the Saudi rate is 15%, the UAE rate 5%.

vat_basis — included, excluded, not_stated — per plan.
price_incl_vat_derived only where the basis is stated, labelled.
Cross-country views state each country's VAT rate.
Plans per brand and type.

Plans, and what we do not do

Plans

Commitment and device terms are recorded as stated. See our Zain page for another Saudi operator.

Total cost

Total cost over the contract is derived from the published terms and labelled, as the telecom hub describes.

What we do not do

Assume a VAT basis, compare Gulf prices without stating VAT rates, place orders, or collect customer data.

Scope

What we collect on stc, and what we do not

The right column matters more than the left. Anyone can list fields; the limits are what tell you whether the dataset will hold up.

✅ What we collect

vat_basis as shown per plan
Missing VAT statements flagged
Derived VAT-inclusive prices labelled
Cross-country views state VAT rates
Postpaid, prepaid and data-only apart
Commitment and device terms
Group countries scoped separately

Weekly refresh

❌ What we do not, and why

VAT basis assumed
Gulf prices compared without VAT rates
Orders or applications
Customer or account data
Coverage claims presented as measurements

How we engage

Three ways to engage us

Same collection pipeline and QA underneath. The difference is who holds the schedule and how the data reaches you.

Managed service (most common)

We own the collection, the QA and the delivery. You receive clean data on a schedule and never touch a scraper.

Dedicated engineer assigned to your account
Site changes fixed by us, not reported to you
Scheduled delivery to your warehouse or S3
Named contact on Slack or email

Best fit: Teams who need the data, not the infrastructure.

API access

The same collection pipeline exposed as an authenticated REST endpoint your systems query directly.

On-demand and scheduled endpoints
Rate limits agreed to your load profile
Sandbox keys for integration testing
Versioned schema with deprecation notice

Best fit: Product and engineering teams building on live data.

One-time or project extraction

A defined pull for a specific question — market sizing, diligence, a pitch, a one-off audit.

Fixed scope agreed in writing upfront
Single delivery with full QA report
Methodology documented for your records
Converts to managed if you want continuity

Best fit: Research, strategy and diligence work with a deadline.

Pricing

Every engagement is quoted individually, because the honest answer depends on your scope: how many sources, how many records, how often, and how the data reaches you. We scope it with you, run a free pilot on your own sources, and then quote a fixed monthly figure — no per-request metering and no overage billing when volumes move. Request a quote and you will have a number after one call.

stc is usually collected alongside its competitors

Almost nobody buys a single platform in isolation. stc data becomes useful when it sits next to the competitor set on one schema, refreshed on one schedule, so a price index or availability comparison is genuinely like-for-like.

That is what telecom data covers, and a stc-only engagement can be expanded into it without rebuilding. If you already know you need several platforms, start there instead — it is the same pipeline and usually the better scoping conversation.
