Galaxus Scraper & Digitec API — Swiss Product Data, Prices & Price History in CHF

Extract product prices, ratings and specifications from galaxus.ch and digitec.ch — Switzerland's #1 online retailer (Migros-owned) — for Swiss price monitoring, market research and e-commerce product feeds. No official Galaxus or Digitec API exists; this actor gives you one.

Main Use Cases

• Swiss online price monitoring — track CHF prices and price history across Galaxus and Digitec
• Market research & competitor analysis — enumerate entire categories or brand catalogs with ratings and review counts
• Building structured product databases — clean per-product records for feeds, marketplaces and internal tools
• Electronics price tracking — smartphones, notebooks, GPUs and more, sorted by price or rating
• Product catalog exports for AI & LLM datasets — structured Swiss retail data for RAG, AI training and agent workflows
• Retailer price comparison — the same chipsets, phones and appliances across the two biggest Swiss web shops

How It Works

Instead of rendering pages in a browser, the actor talks directly to the shops' internal GraphQL API (Relay persisted queries) — the same endpoint the galaxus.ch / digitec.ch frontend uses. No browser, no CAPTCHAs, no HTML parsing, no anti-bot workarounds. You can scrape by search keyword, category, brand, or individual product URLs, in English, German, French or Italian. The result is a clean structured dataset (JSON, CSV, Excel, XML) in the Apify Dataset.

How to Scrape Galaxus & Digitec Product Data

1. Open the actor in the Apify Console and click Start.
2. In the Input tab, pick the site (galaxus.ch or digitec.ch) and language (en, de, fr, it).
3. Provide at least one selector: Search queries, Category IDs, Brand IDs, or Product URLs.
4. Optionally enable Include full product details to also fetch specifications, gallery images, price history lows/highs, warranty, return policy and seller info per product.
5. Click Start and download the results from the Dataset tab in JSON, CSV, Excel or HTML.

Monitor CHF Prices & Track Price History for Market Research

Galaxus publicly discloses the lowest and highest price of a product over the last 3 months — with includeDetails you get priceHistoryLow and priceHistoryHigh per product. That makes this actor a practical base for:

• Price drop monitoring — watch a product's price history and react to dips (schedule runs daily)
• Seasonal pricing analysis — identify when Swiss retailers discount electronics, home appliances and more
• Dynamic-pricing research — Galaxus adjusts prices several times a day; a scheduled scraper records these movements
• Competitive positioning — compare Galaxus vs Digitec prices on the same item to see which shop is cheaper

Build E-commerce Product Databases & Product Feeds From Galaxus Data

Every dataset item is one product with stable identifiers you can join on: id, gtin, brand, category and canonical URL. With includeDetails you also get full specifications (grouped), gallery images, seller types (RETAIL, RESALE marketplace) and warranty/return policy — everything needed to build or refresh a Swiss e-commerce product feed.

Input — Configuring a Galaxus / Digitec Scraper Run

Field	Type	Required	Default	Notes
site	string	No	galaxus.ch	galaxus.ch (general merchandise) or digitec.ch (electronics)
language	string	No	en	en, de, fr or it
searchQueries	string[]	No *	—	Keywords to search, e.g. iphone 15, ssd 1tb
categoryIds	string[]	No *	—	Product-type IDs from the category URL, e.g. 24 = Smartphones, 62 = Notebooks
brandIds	string[]	No *	—	Brand IDs from the brand URL, e.g. 47 = Apple
productUrls	string[]	No *	—	Full product page URLs to scrape individually
maxItems	integer	No	100	Max products in total (1–100,000). Free users are capped at 10
includeDetails	boolean	No	false	Premium add-on: spec sheets, images, price history, seller info (billed per product)
sortOrder	string	No	RELEVANCE	RELEVANCE, LOWEST_PRICE, HIGHEST_PRICE, RATING, NEWEST, AVAILABILITY
minPrice	integer	No	—	Only products priced at least this many CHF
maxPrice	integer	No	—	Only products priced at most this many CHF
proxy	object	No	—	Apify proxy configuration (normally not needed)

* At least one of searchQueries, categoryIds, brandIds, or productUrls must be provided.

Finding IDs: category URLs end in -<id> (e.g. galaxus.ch/en/s1/producttype/smartphones-24 → category 24); brand URLs end in -<id> (e.g. galaxus.ch/en/s1/brand/apple-47 → brand 47).

Output — Structured Swiss Product Data Fields

Field	Description
id	Galaxus/Digitec product ID (stable identifier)
name / nameWithProperties	Product name (with variant properties when details are enabled)
brand	Brand name, e.g. Apple
price / priceExclusive	Price in CHF including / excluding VAT
currency	Always CHF
averageRating / ratingCount	Customer rating and number of reviews
availability	Delivery classification, e.g. ONE_DAY, WITHIN4_DAYS
url	Canonical product URL
imageUrl / images	Preview image / full gallery (details mode)
category / categoryRank	Product category and sales rank within it (details mode)
gtin	Global Trade Item Number (details mode)
priceHistoryLow / priceHistoryHigh	Lowest/highest price in the last 3 months (details mode)
sellerTypes	Offer types, e.g. RETAIL, RESALE marketplace (details mode)
warranty / returnPolicy	Warranty and return conditions (details mode)
specifications	Grouped technical specifications (details mode)
scrapedAt	Timestamp of the scrape

Without includeDetails you get the list-level fields (id, name, brand, price, currency, rating, availability, url, imageUrl, category, scrapedAt) — ideal for fast, cheap full-category dumps. With includeDetails: true every product is enriched on a detail-page request.

Example Input

{
  "site": "galaxus.ch",
  "language": "en",
  "searchQueries": ["iphone 15"],
  "maxItems": 50,
  "includeDetails": true

FAQ — Galaxus API, Price Tracking & Alternatives

Does Galaxus have an official API? No. Neither Galaxus nor Digitec offers a public product API. Programmatic access to their product data is what this actor provides — without scraping the HTML pages.

Why use this actor instead of an official API? Because there is no official public API for Galaxus product data, price history, or catalog exports. This actor talks to the same internal GraphQL endpoint the shops' own frontend uses, so you get accurate, up-to-date data in structured form.

What are alternatives to Galaxus and Digitec for Swiss online shopping? The main Swiss online retailers are Brack.ch, Interdiscount, Microspot, MediaMarkt.ch, Zalando (fashion) and melectronics; price-comparison sites like toppreise.ch and Cheapify (Swiss) and idealo/Geizhals (EU) aggregate Swiss product prices. For Amazon in Switzerland you can use the Amazon Scraper.

What is the difference between Galaxus and Digitec? Both shops are run by Digitec Galaxus AG (Migros Group). Digitec focuses on consumer electronics; Galaxus is the general-merchandise marketplace with millions of products across every category. They share a catalog backbone and both run this actor's GraphQL endpoint — so you pick per site with the site input.

How can I track Galaxus prices over time? Run the actor with includeDetails: true and store price, priceHistoryLow and priceHistoryHigh per product in your own database. Schedule it daily via the Apify scheduler and compare snapshots — that gives you a full Swiss price-history dataset.

When is the best time to buy electronics in Switzerland? Galaxus/Digitec adjust prices dynamically, sometimes several times a day, and run promotions around Black Friday, seasonal sales and product launches. The 3-month priceHistoryLow field tells you whether today's price is near a known low.

How do I scrape Galaxus without getting blocked? The actor never renders pages in a browser and works against the shop's internal GraphQL API, so there are no CAPTCHAs to solve. A proxy is optional and normally not required; if you ever hit rate limits, enable Apify proxy in the input.

Does this actor work for galaxus.de? No — this actor covers galaxus.ch and digitec.ch (Swiss sites, prices in CHF) only.

What does the free tier give me? Free Apify users can scrape up to 10 items per run — enough to validate the output shape and data quality before upgrading.

How does this actor compare with other Galaxus scrapers on the Apify Store? See the Competitive Positioning table below for the differences we verified against other public Galaxus actors.

Competitive Positioning

We verified the following differences against other public Galaxus/Digitec actors on the Apify Store (as of September 2026):

Capability	Other Galaxus actors	This actor
Price per 1,000 list results (FREE tier)	e.g. santamaria-automations/galaxus-ch-scraper at $3.00 / 1,000	$1.00 / 1,000 (result event $0.001)
Sites covered	Single site (usually only galaxus.ch)	Both galaxus.ch and digitec.ch
Full details incl. price history, specs, sellers	Varies (some price details separately)	Built-in includeDetails add-on ($0.0015/product)
GraphQL (no browser)	Some use it	Yes — no CAPTCHAs, no HTML parsing
Language support	Mostly en/de	en, de, fr, it

For AI Agents & LLM Apps

What it returns: One dataset item per product from galaxus.ch or digitec.ch, with price in CHF, brand, ratings, availability, URL and (in details mode) specs, gallery images, GTIN and 3-month price history lows/highs.

Minimal working input:

{
  "site": "galaxus.ch",
  "language": "en",
  "searchQueries": ["iphone 15"],
  "maxItems": 10
}

Variant inputs (distinct modes):

{
  "site": "digitec.ch",
  "categoryIds": ["24"],
  "sortOrder": "LOWEST_PRICE",
  "maxItems": 50
}

{
  "site": "galaxus.ch",
  "brandIds": ["47"],
  "includeDetails": true,
  "maxItems": 25
}

{
  "site": "galaxus.ch",
  "productUrls": ["https://www.galaxus.ch/en/s1/product/apple-iphone-15-128-gb-black-610-sim-esim-5g-smartphones-38606678"],
  "includeDetails": true
}

Output fields (list mode): id, name, brand, price, priceExclusive, currency, averageRating, ratingCount, availability, url, imageUrl, category, scrapedAt. Output fields (details mode adds): nameWithProperties, categoryRank, gtin, priceHistoryLow, priceHistoryHigh, sellerTypes, warranty, returnPolicy, specifications, images.

Behaviors an agent should know:

• Provide at least one of searchQueries, categoryIds, brandIds, or productUrls; otherwise the run cannot start.
• Free users are capped at 10 items regardless of maxItems. Paid plans can scrape up to maxItems (default 100, max 100,000).
• includeDetails is a paid add-on billed per product (one galaxus-product-details event each) and roughly doubles the number of HTTP requests — don't enable it for large inventories unless the extra fields are actually needed.
• minPrice / maxPrice are CHF filters. sortOrder applies to search and category results.
• On a rare Galaxus frontend rebuild the actor may return HC0020: The specified persisted operation key is invalid — the maintainer re-extracts the persisted-query hashes from the live CDN bundles, so retry later or open an issue.
• Currency is always CHF; prices are integers in Swiss francs.

Billing model (pay-per-event): result event $0.001 per dataset item at FREE tier (≈ $1 per 1,000 list results) + galaxus-product-details event $0.0015 per product when includeDetails: true, both discounted on Bronze+ plans; plus Apify platform compute (one actor-start event per GB memory, min 1).
