Actors are a software tools running on the Apify platform, for all kinds of web data extraction and automation use cases. In Batch mode, an Actor accepts a well-defined JSON input, performs an action which can take anything from a few seconds to a few hours, and optionally produces a well-defined JSON output, datasets with results, or files in key-value store. In Standby mode, an Actor provides a web server which can be used as a website, API, or an MCP server. Actors are written with capital "A". ## How to integrate an Actor? If asked about integration, you help developers integrate Actors into their projects. You adapt to their stack and deliver integrations that are safe, well-documented, and production-ready. The best way to integrate Actors is as follows. In JavaScript/TypeScript projects, use official [JavaScript/TypeScript client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js.md): ```bash npm install apify-client ``` In Python projects, use official [Python client library](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python.md): ```bash pip install apify-client ``` In shell scripts, use [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md): ````bash # MacOS / Linux curl -fsSL https://apify.com/install-cli.sh | bash # Windows irm https://apify.com/install-cli.ps1 | iex ```bash In AI frameworks, you might use the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/platform/integrations/mcp.md). If your project is in a different language, use the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md). For usage examples, see the [API](#api) section below. For more details, see Apify documentation as [Markdown index](https://docs.apify.com/llms.txt) and [Markdown full-text](https://docs.apify.com/llms-full.txt). # README ## Cdiscount Price Tracker Track product prices, ratings, availability, and deals on Cdiscount (France's largest e-commerce platform) with automated browser scraping. Works **without proxy** using advanced anti-detection techniques. ### Features - **French Marketplace Focus**: Optimized for Cdiscount.fr with support for Belgian, German, Italian, and Spanish marketplace sellers - **Multi-URL Tracking**: Track unlimited product URLs in a single run - **Keyword Search Mode**: Search Cdiscount by keyword and extract top results with prices - **Smart Price Parser**: Handles French price format (29,99 €) with non-breaking spaces - **Discount Detection**: Automatically detects and calculates discount percentages - **Rating & Reviews**: Star rating and review count extraction - **Seller Information**: Extract seller name from product pages - **Stock Monitoring**: Availability status on every product - **Anti-Detection**: Random delays, user-agent rotation, stealth scripts, navigator overrides - **Price Alerts**: Check if price drops below threshold with webhook notifications - **Price History**: Store price data points in KV store for trend tracking ### Use Cases - **Price comparison** across Cdiscount marketplace sellers - **Deal hunting** — find the lowest price for any product - **Competitive intelligence** — monitor competitor pricing on Cdiscount - **Price history tracking** — run periodically to build price datasets - **Price alerts** — get notified when a product drops below your target price - **Stock alerts** — monitor availability across marketplace sellers ### Input | Parameter | Type | Required | Description | |-----------|------|----------|-------------| | `productUrls` | `string[]` | Yes* | Cdiscount product page URLs to track | | `searchKeywords` | `string[]` | Yes* | Keywords to search for on Cdiscount | | `maxResults` | `number` | No | Max results per keyword (default: 10, max: 50) | | `marketplaces` | `string[]` | No | Marketplaces: FR, BE, DE, IT, ES (default: FR) | | `maxConcurrency` | `number` | No | Concurrent browsers (default: 2) | | `delayMin` | `number` | No | Min delay ms between requests (default: 2000) | | `delayMax` | `number` | No | Max delay ms between requests (default: 5000) | | `priceAlerts` | `string` | No | JSON array of alert rules | | `webhookUrl` | `string` | No | Webhook URL for price alert notifications | *at least one of `productUrls` or `searchKeywords` required #### Price Alerts Format ```json [ { "email": "user@example.com", "maxPrice": 50.00, "productUrl": "https://www.cdiscount.com/...", "keywords": ["iphone", "samsung"] } ] ```` ### Output Each result includes: ```json { "productId": "iphone-15-pro-128go", "name": "Apple iPhone 15 Pro 128 Go - Titane Noir", "marketplace": "FR", "price": 1099.00, "currency": "EUR", "originalPrice": 1229.00, "discountPercentage": 10.6, "rating": 4.5, "reviewCount": 1234, "seller": "Amazon Marketplace", "inStock": true, "availability": "En stock", "url": "https://www.cdiscount.com/le-monde/iphone-15-pro.html", "imageUrl": "https://img.cdiscount.com/...", "scrapedAt": "2025-01-15T10:30:00.000Z" } ``` ### Anti-Detection Measures This actor is designed to work **without proxy** by implementing: 1. **Random delays** between requests (2-5 seconds by default) 2. **User-agent rotation** across 8 different browser profiles 3. **Navigator overrides** to hide webdriver detection 4. **Plugin and language faking** to appear as a real browser 5. **Chrome runtime object injection** to bypass fingerprinting 6. **French language preference** for realistic Cdiscount browsing ### Setup ```bash ## Install dependencies npm install ## Run locally (requires Apify account) npm start ## Run tests npm test ``` ### Docker ```bash docker build -t cdiscount-price-tracker . docker run -e APIFY_TOKEN=your_token cdiscount-price-tracker ``` ### 💰 Pricing Pay-per-use, no monthly fees: | | Price | |---|---| | **Actor start** | $0.01 | | **Per result** | $0.01 | > 💡 Example: A run returning 500 results costs **$5.01** total ($0.01 start + 500 × $0.01). ### Notes - Works **without proxy** thanks to anti-detection measures - Respects rate limits with configurable delays (default 2-5s) - Supports both direct URL tracking and keyword search discovery - Results are stored in Apify Dataset — export as JSON, CSV, or Excel - Price history is stored in KV store for trend tracking ### Keywords Cdiscount, price tracker, France, e-commerce, price comparison, deals, Cdiscount.fr, marketplace, shopping, deal finder, price alert, French marketplace, product tracker, price monitor # Actor input Schema ## `productUrls` (type: `array`): Cdiscount product page URLs to track ## `searchKeywords` (type: `array`): Keywords to search for on Cdiscount ## `maxResults` (type: `integer`): Maximum number of search results per keyword ## `marketplaces` (type: `array`): Cdiscount marketplaces to search ## `priceAlerts` (type: `string`): Alert when price drops below threshold.
