Appliances Online Australia Products & Reviews Scraper

Scrape Appliances Online Australia (appliancesonline.com.au) product listings, specifications, stock and customer reviews. Browse a whole category, a keyword the storefront resolves itself, or paste product links. Every product comes back as one flat record with the AUD price, the recommended retail price and the saving, stock status, the storefront's own spec keys, media, the aggregate customer rating with its star breakdown, badges and care plans.

Why This Scraper?

• One browse read returns a category's complete product list, so a run collects hundreds of products in a few requests instead of walking page after page.
• Two modes: browse categories or keywords, or paste product links and product ids; each pasted entry is one fully enriched record.
• Filters narrow the results whichever mode you run: brand, reduced-only, in-stock-only, price range and result ordering, and products dropped by a filter are never collected and never charged.
• Full detail extraction: specification table, manuals, feature bullets, delivery services and the on-sale flag from the product's own document.
• Customer reviews with star rating, review text, author and syndication source, plus the review tags (best and worst features) and the what-customers-say recap.
• Warehouse-level stock counts when the storefront exposes them, care plans, efficiency labels, badges and the green-product flag on every record.

stateKey	text	empty	Name a monitoring campaign, or share state deliberately.
emitUnchanged	boolean	false	Also return (and bill) unchanged rows.
emitExpired	boolean	false	Also return rows gone after a COMPLETE scan.
proxy	proxy	Apify proxy on	Keep the default; the read runs through a proxy connection.

notionParentPageUrl	text	empty	Notion parent page for the Notion connector.
maxNotifyListings	number	50	Cap on items written to each connector per run.

Resume and recurring updates

Resume continues ONE interrupted run: products already collected there are skipped, not returned and not billed again. Incremental mode is for schedules: the actor remembers each scope's baseline itself, and a recurring run returns only NEW, UPDATED (with changedFields naming what moved, for example price or stock), REAPPEARED and optionally EXPIRED rows. UNCHANGED rows are suppressed by default so daily monitoring bills only what changed. Reviews are detected through the review count, the star breakdown and the rating, so a new review classifies the product UPDATED without listing every review body in changedFields. EXPIRED rows only appear after a complete scan; a capped run never tombstones anything.

Plan Requirement

Authorize one MCP connector under Apify, Settings, API & Integrations, then select it in mcpConnectors; Notion also needs notionParentPageUrl. The connector export is a best-effort side channel: it writes a condensed summary per item and never changes the dataset output. Any Apify account that can start a run can use this actor; the storefront read ships through the Apify proxy connection by default, so no separate proxy configuration is required.

Send results into your apps (MCP connectors)

Authorize one MCP connector in Apify (Notion, Linear, Airtable or Apify), set the mcpConnectors input (and notionParentPageUrl for Notion item pages), and each run writes a condensed summary per item into your tool via mcpConnectors, with the write count capped by maxNotifyListings. The complete record always stays in the Apify dataset, and a connector failure never affects the scrape.
