Jumia Product Scraper - Prices, Discounts & Ratings

What does Jumia Product Scraper do?

Jumia Product Scraper extracts product data from public Jumia category pages: prices, old prices and discounts, ratings, review counts, brands, seller IDs, images and badges. It works on the Jumia storefronts in Nigeria, Kenya, Egypt, Morocco, Ghana, Uganda, Senegal, Cote d'Ivoire, Tunisia and Algeria, and it is a practical Jumia API alternative for teams that need structured marketplace data without an official feed.

The Actor reads only public, logged-out pages. It follows Jumia's published scraping policy: it identifies itself honestly as a bot (with a contact URL), stays well below the 200 requests per minute limit Jumia asks for, and obeys robots.txt. It does not log in, does not solve CAPTCHAs and does not try to defeat bot protection.

Why scrape Jumia?

Jumia is the largest e-commerce marketplace in Africa. Product and price data helps with:

• Price monitoring and repricing across Nigeria, Kenya, Egypt and Morocco.
• Market research: which brands dominate a category, how deep discounts go, how many sellers compete.
• Catalogue enrichment and lead lists for brands, distributors and logistics partners.
• Trend tracking: schedule the Actor daily and compare snapshots to spot price drops.

Running on Apify gives you scheduling, API access, webhooks, integrations (Make, Zapier, Google Sheets), run monitoring and dataset export in JSON, CSV, Excel and HTML.

What data can Jumia Product Scraper extract?

Field	Type	Description
productId	string	Jumia SKU (for example XI363MP809NCTNAFAMZ)
title	string	Full product title
url, imageUrl	string	Product page and main image
price, priceMax, currency, priceText	number / string	Current price (lowest price when a range is shown), ISO currency, text as displayed
oldPrice, discountPercent	number	Crossed-out price and discount shown on the card
rating, reviewCount	number	Average rating (0-5) and number of ratings
brand, category, categoryPath	string	Brand and category taxonomy
sellerId	string	Seller identifier from the listing
isOfficialStore, isJumiaExpress, badges	boolean / array	Official Store, Jumia Express and campaign badges
country, domain, page, position, listingUrl, scrapedAt	mixed	Where and when the row was collected

With Include product details switched on, each row is enriched from the product page: seller (name), sellerUrl, availability, description, images (gallery), sku, breadcrumbs and an exact rating / reviewCount.

How to scrape Jumia

1. Open the Actor and go to the Input tab.
2. Paste one or more Jumia category URLs, for example https://www.jumia.com.ng/smartphones/ or https://www.jumia.co.ke/televisions/. You can mix countries in one run.
3. Set Maximum products (default 100).
4. Optional: enable Include product details to add seller names, descriptions and image galleries (one extra request per product).
5. Click Start, then download the dataset as JSON, CSV or Excel, or read it through the API.

Can I search Jumia by keyword?

Not with this Actor. Jumia's robots.txt disallows its search URLs (/catalog/ and q=), so the Actor refuses them. Use category URLs instead; Jumia's category tree is deep (for example /smartphones/, /laptops/, /televisions/, /sneakers/). Facet and sort URLs are also disallowed by Jumia's robots.txt, so the Actor reads the default ordering of each category.

How many products can I get per category?

Jumia shows about 40 products per page and exposes up to 50 pages per category, so roughly 2,000 products per category URL. Use several category or sub-category URLs for more.

How much does it cost to scrape Jumia?

The Actor is designed for pay per result: one billable event for each product row saved to the dataset. The exact price per 1,000 results is shown in the Pricing tab of the Actor. Set Maximum products to cap your spend; the Actor also stops by itself when your configured maximum charge for the run is reached. Pages are fetched at a polite pace (about 40 products every few seconds), so runs of a few hundred products finish in under a minute.

Input

See the Input tab for every option. The main fields:

{
  "startUrls": [{ "url": "https://www.jumia.com.ng/smartphones/" }],
  "maxItems": 100,
  "includeProductDetails": false
}

• startUrls: category listing pages, or a single product page URL for one product.
• maxItems: maximum unique products across all URLs.
• maxPagesPerUrl: pages to read per URL (Jumia allows up to 50).
• maxConcurrency and maxRequestsPerMinute: politeness limits (defaults 3 and 60).
• contactUrl: added to the User-Agent so Jumia can contact the bot owner. Replace it with your own site if you like.
• proxyConfiguration: optional. A proxy changes only the IP the requests come from.

Output

You can download the dataset in various formats such as JSON, HTML, CSV or Excel. Example rows from real runs on jumia.com.ng/smartphones/ and jumia.co.ke/smartphones/:

A RUN_SUMMARY record in the key-value store lists pages fetched, products saved, blocked requests and why the run stopped.

Tips

• Add sub-category URLs (for example /smartphones/samsung/) to go beyond the 50-page limit of one category. Brand pages containing -- are disallowed by Jumia's robots.txt.
• Keep Include product details off unless you need seller names or descriptions; it multiplies the request count.
• Schedule daily runs and compare price per productId to build a price history.
• If a run reports that Jumia refused access (a Cloudflare challenge page), do not retry in a loop. The Actor stops by design after three consecutive blocked responses and never attempts to bypass the challenge.

FAQ, disclaimers and support

Is scraping Jumia legal? Jumia's robots.txt states that scraping is permitted for clearly identified bots below 200 requests per minute, and this Actor follows those conditions. You remain responsible for how you use the data and for complying with Jumia's terms and local law.

Our Actors are ethical and do not extract any private user data, such as email addresses, gender, or location. They only extract what the user has chosen to share publicly. We therefore believe that our Actors, when used for ethical purposes by Apify users, are safe. However, you should be aware that your results could contain personal data. Personal data is protected by the GDPR in the European Union and by other regulations around the world. You should not scrape personal data unless you have a legitimate reason to do so. If you're unsure whether your reason is legitimate, consult your lawyers.

Seller names are business names shown publicly on product pages. The Actor does not collect reviewer names or review text.
