Pricing / Cost Estimation

Kilimall Scraper uses CheerioCrawler, which consumes 1–3 compute units per 1,000 products scraped (depending on concurrency). Most runs with default settings (50 products) cost under 1 compute unit. Apify provides a free monthly usage tier for new users.

To minimize costs:

• Set maxConcurrency to 5 or lower
• Use searchQuery to narrow results instead of scraping all products
• Set a reasonable maxProducts limit

Tips & Advanced Options

• Fastest results: Use default settings (Sitemap mode, newest first, 10 concurrency)
• Cheapest products: Set sortBy to Price: Low to High — finds the best deals first
• Full inventory: Set maxProducts to 0 for unlimited scraping (will scrape all matching products)
• Custom URLs: In Custom URLs mode, provide product listing URLs like https://www.kilimall.co.ke/listing/183465-samsung-galaxy-a14
• Respectful crawling: The scraper uses appropriate delays and respects Kilimall's server capacity

FAQ

Is scraping Kilimall legal?
Kilimall is a publicly accessible e-commerce website. This scraper extracts publicly available product information at a reasonable rate. Users are responsible for complying with Kilimall's Terms of Service and applicable laws.

Why are some fields null?
Fields like description, availability, and brand depend on JSON-LD structured data being present on the product page. Not all Kilimall product pages include this data. The scraper always extracts the fields that are available via text patterns as well.

Does this require a proxy?
No — the scraper will run without a proxy. On the Apify platform, Apify Proxy is automatically used when available (requires a paid Apify plan).

How many products can I scrape?
There are over 1 million product URLs in Kilimall's sitemap. The scraper handles any quantity — just be aware that larger runs consume more compute units.
