Coolblue Scraper — NL / BE / DE Product Data & Price Monitoring

Scrape Coolblue product data from the Netherlands (coolblue.nl), Belgium (coolblue.be) and Germany (coolblue.de): prices, discounts, stock & delivery status, ratings, review counts, pros/cons, specifications and images. Built for price monitoring, competitor analysis, catalog building, and reseller research.

Track Coolblue Prices, Stock & Discounts Across Three Countries

Coolblue has no public API — this actor extracts product intelligence from their Next.js site using CheerioCrawler (pure HTTP, no browser). Switch between NL, BE, and DE with a single input field.

Key Use Cases

• Price monitoring — track current prices, list prices, and discount percentages across product categories
• Competitor analysis — compare Coolblue pricing against bol.com, Amazon.nl, MediaMarkt, and Idealo
• Catalog building — extract full product catalogs with specs, images, and availability data
• Reseller research — identify discounted products, open-box (Tweedekans) deals, and stock availability
• Market intelligence — analyze product ratings, review counts, and pros/cons across categories
• E-commerce analytics — build pricing datasets for Dutch, Belgian, and German electronics markets

How It Works

1. You provide search queries, category URLs, or direct product URLs and pick a country (NL/BE/DE)
2. The actor fetches pages using CheerioCrawler (plain HTTP) — no browser rendering required
3. Product data is extracted from Next.js RSC flight data and embedded JSON-LD blobs
4. With scrapeDetails: true, each product page is visited for full specs, pros/cons, and discount data
5. Results are saved as structured JSON with 30+ fields per product

FAQ

Why use this actor instead of the official API?

Coolblue has no public API — no Algolia, Meilisearch, or GraphQL endpoint is exposed. This actor reads product data from the same Next.js RSC flight data and JSON-LD blobs the website uses, giving you structured access without browser automation.

What's the difference between fast mode and detail mode?

• Fast mode (scrapeDetails: false, default): Scrapes product cards directly from category/search pages. Returns name, price, availability, rating, and image. Much faster, far fewer 403 errors. Ideal for price monitoring.
• Detail mode (scrapeDetails: true): Visits each product page for full description, specification table, pros/cons, discount data, and per-store availability. Slower but comprehensive.

Can I scrape all three Coolblue countries in one run?

Set country to nl, be, or de for a single run. For multi-country monitoring, schedule three separate runs with different country settings.

How do I monitor price drops?

Schedule daily runs with scrapeDetails: false and compare the price and listPrice fields across runs. Products where discountPercent > 0 are currently on sale.

Is scraping Coolblue legal?

Scraping publicly available product data is generally permitted, but you are responsible for complying with Coolblue's Terms of Service and applicable law. This actor is not affiliated with or endorsed by Coolblue.

How much does it cost?

The actor uses pay-per-event pricing: $0.002 per category card (fast mode), $0.006 per full product detail. A 1,000-product fast-mode run costs $2.00; full details cost $6.00. Free accounts get a 10-item preview.

For AI Agents & LLM Apps

Purpose: Extract product data from Coolblue (NL/BE/DE) including prices, discounts, stock status, ratings, specs, and pros/cons — no public API available.

Minimal working input:

{
  "searchQueries": ["iphone"],
  "country": "nl",
  "maxItems": 20
}

Variant inputs:

• Category scrape: { "categoryUrls": ["https://www.coolblue.nl/smartphones"], "maxItems": 100 }

Behaviors an agent should know:

• scrapeDetails: false (default) returns listing cards only — no specs/pros/cons/description
• scrapeDetails: true visits each product page — 10x slower but returns full data
• country accepts nl, be, or de — each is a separate Coolblue store
• Category URLs are the most reliable entry point for full catalog coverage
• Fast mode reads from Next.js RSC data — far fewer 403 errors than detail mode
• Residential proxy recommended for detail mode; optional for fast mode

Billing model: Pay-per-event ($0.002 per fast-mode card, $0.006 per full detail, $0.00005 per actor start)
