Cobasi Pet Products Scraper

Search and export Cobasi pet products from Brazil as analysis-ready SKU records. Get product identity, EAN, brand, category, pack variant, current BRL price, list price, promotion status, public availability, image, and canonical Cobasi URL.

Use the Actor for one-time catalog research or schedule the same input to create repeatable assortment, price, promotion, and stock snapshots.

What does Cobasi Pet Products Scraper do?

The Actor accepts Portuguese search terms and public cobasi.com.br product, category, or search URLs. It reads Cobasi's public catalog data and saves one dataset row per SKU variant.

It supports:

• keyword search across the Cobasi Brazil catalog;
• category extraction from a Cobasi category URL;
• exact product extraction, including all returned pack variants;
• pagination up to a user-controlled item limit;
• deduplication when inputs overlap;
• scheduled snapshots for comparison in your own database or spreadsheet.

It does not require a Cobasi account. It does not add products to a cart, place orders, or access customer information.

Who is it for?

• Pet brands tracking how their products are listed and priced at Cobasi.
• Retail analysts comparing assortment, promotions, and availability over time.
• E-commerce teams collecting structured competitor catalog snapshots.
• Distributors checking SKU, EAN, pack-size, and public offer data.
• Data engineers loading Brazilian pet-retail data into BI or monitoring pipelines.

Why use this Actor?

The output is normalized at SKU-variant level instead of returning raw pages. A multi-pack product therefore produces separate rows with its own SKU, EAN, variant label, price, and availability.

The Actor uses a lightweight structured-data route rather than downloading images or running a browser for every page. That keeps normal runs fast, inexpensive, and suitable for recurring schedules. Requests have bounded retries for temporary network, HTTP 429, and server errors. Deterministic input and response errors fail clearly instead of returning a false empty success.

What Cobasi product data can I extract?

Field	Meaning
productId	Cobasi product-level identifier
sku	SKU/item identifier for one variant
ean	EAN barcode when exposed
name	Complete product and variant name
brand	Product brand
category	Most specific category path returned
categories	All returned Cobasi category paths
variant	Pack size, flavor, color, or other variant label
price	Current selling price in BRL
listPrice	Reference/list price in BRL
discountPercent	Calculated discount when list price exceeds price
onPromotion	Whether the current price is below list price
available	Public offer availability flag
availableQuantity	Public catalog quantity when exposed
seller	Seller attached to the selected offer
imageUrl	Primary product image
sourceUrl	Canonical Cobasi product page
searchSource	Search term or URL that found the row
scrapedAt	ISO timestamp for the snapshot

Fields may be null when Cobasi does not expose that value for a SKU. Prices are snapshots from the public catalog and may change after collection.

How to scrape Cobasi pet products

1. Open the Actor in Apify Console.
2. Add one or more Portuguese terms under Search queries.
3. Optionally add public Cobasi product or category URLs.
4. Set Maximum SKU records to control run size.
5. Click Start.
6. Open the Cobasi products dataset view.
7. Export JSON, CSV, Excel, XML, or connect the dataset API.

A small search input:

{
  "searchQueries": ["ração para cães"],
  "maxItems": 25
}

Input parameters

searchQueries

An array of non-empty search strings. Use words a shopper would enter on Cobasi, for example:

["ração para cães", "areia para gatos", "brinquedo para papagaio"]

At least one search query or start URL must be present. Duplicate search strings are removed.

startUrls

Optional public Cobasi URLs in Apify request-list format:

[
  { "url": "https://www.cobasi.com.br/cachorro/racao" },
  { "url": "https://www.cobasi.com.br/racao-gran-plus-choice-frango-e-carne-caes-adultos-3853925/p" }
]

Supported URL types:

• product pages ending in /p;
• category pages;
• Cobasi search pages containing terms or q.

Other hosts and direct internal API URLs are rejected. The Cobasi home page alone is not a catalog scope.

maxItems

Maximum number of SKU-variant records across all inputs. The allowed range is 1–5,000 and the default is 50. The limit applies after deduplication.

Output example

A current product variant has this shape:

{
  "productId": "3853925",
  "sku": "915700",
  "ean": "7896048918536",
  "name": "Ração GranPlus Choice Cães Adultos Frango e Carne 10,1 kg",
  "brand": "GranPlus",
  "category": "Cachorros/Alimentação/Ração seca",
  "categories": [
    "Cachorros/Alimentação/Ração seca",
    "Cachorros/Alimentação",
    "Cachorros"
  ],
  "variant": "10,1 kg",
  "price": 98.1,
  "listPrice": 119.99,
  "discountPercent": 18.24,
  "onPromotion": true,
  "currency": "BRL",
  "available": true,
  "availableQuantity": 100,
  "seller": "Cobasi",
  "imageUrl": "https://cobasi.vteximg.com.br/arquivos/ids/1000000/product.webp",
  "sourceUrl": "https://www.cobasi.com.br/racao-gran-plus-choice-frango-e-carne-caes-adultos-3853925/p",
  "searchSource": "search:ração para cães",
  "scrapedAt": "2026-09-01T12:00:00.000Z"
}

The example structure is representative. Values are source snapshots and should not be treated as a price guarantee.

How much does it cost to scrape Cobasi pet products?

Pay-per-event pricing has two parts:

• Actor start: $0.00045 once per run.
• Cobasi product variant: one event for each SKU row saved.

Per-item rates depend on your Apify pricing tier:

Tier	Price per SKU variant
FREE	$0.0004370
BRONZE	$0.0003800
SILVER	$0.0002964
GOLD	$0.0002280
PLATINUM	$0.0001520
DIAMOND	$0.0001064

At BRONZE rates, 25 records cost about $0.00995 including the start event. At BRONZE rates, 100 records cost about $0.03845 including the start event. At BRONZE rates, 1,000 records cost about $0.38045 including the start event.

Only rows saved to the dataset receive an item charge. Empty results do not create item charges. Apify platform usage is covered by the Actor's PPE model rather than billed to you separately.

Monitor assortment and prices on a schedule

A practical recurring workflow is:

1. Save a stable query or category URL as an Apify Task.
2. Schedule it daily or weekly.
3. Export each run's dataset to your warehouse, Google Sheets, or object storage.
4. Match snapshots by sku.
5. Compare price, listPrice, onPromotion, and available.
6. Alert from your own workflow when a SKU appears, disappears, or changes.

The Actor returns snapshots. It does not maintain history or send change alerts by itself.

Export Cobasi data to spreadsheets and pipelines

Every run uses the default Apify dataset, so standard integrations work without custom storage handling. You can:

• download CSV or Excel from Console;
• fetch JSON through the dataset API;
• connect Make, Zapier, n8n, or webhooks;
• load rows into BigQuery, Snowflake, PostgreSQL, or a data lake;
• create dashboards by brand, category, promotion, or availability.

Use sku as the variant key and retain scrapedAt as the observation time.

Use with Apify MCP

Add the Actor to Claude Code:

claude mcp add --transport http apify \
  "https://mcp.apify.com?tools=automation-lab/cobasi-brazil-pet-product-catalog"

Claude Desktop

Add this server to the mcpServers object in Claude Desktop's configuration:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "apify": {
      "url": "https://mcp.apify.com?tools=automation-lab/cobasi-brazil-pet-product-catalog"
    }
  }
}

Cursor

Open Settings → Tools & MCP → Add custom MCP and use the same Apify MCP URL:

https://mcp.apify.com?tools=automation-lab/cobasi-brazil-pet-product-catalog

VS Code

Add an HTTP MCP server named apify to your workspace or user MCP configuration, using the same URL shown above.

Example prompts:

• “Search Cobasi for ração renal and return the first 50 SKU variants.”
• “Extract every variant from this Cobasi product URL and compare price to list price.”
• “Run my Cobasi cat-litter Task and summarize unavailable SKUs.”

Reliability and retries

Normal runs use Cobasi's public structured catalog route. Each request has a 30-second timeout. The Actor retries temporary network failures, HTTP 429, and server errors up to three total attempts with bounded backoff.

It does not blindly retry:

• malformed inputs;
• unsupported domains;
• ordinary invalid-target HTTP errors;
• unexpected non-JSON responses;
• source schema changes that require an implementation update.

A nonsense search can validly return zero rows. A blocked or malformed upstream response fails the run instead of being reported as an empty catalog.

Tips and limitations

• Search in Portuguese for the most relevant Cobasi results.
• Use narrow queries or category URLs when monitoring a stable assortment.
• Product URLs are best when you need every currently exposed pack variant.
• availableQuantity is a public catalog value, not a warehouse guarantee.
• Availability and offers can vary after collection or by shopping context.
• Some fields are absent on some products and are returned as null.
• Results reflect the current public Cobasi Brazil catalog, not historical values.
• Large limits take more requests and may be affected by source rate limits.
• The Actor does not scrape reviews, customer data, orders, or account-only prices.
• The Actor does not promise that every public catalog item matches every search term.

Responsible use and legality

This Actor accesses public product information. You are responsible for ensuring your use complies with applicable laws, Cobasi's terms, contractual duties, and Apify's policies.

Do not use output to misrepresent prices or availability. Do not attempt to identify customers or combine product data with unlawfully obtained personal information. Use reasonable schedules and limits to avoid unnecessary load on the source.

Troubleshooting

Why did my run return no rows?

Check the spelling and try the same term on Cobasi Brazil. A highly specific or discontinued product phrase may have no current match. For an exact product, supply its public /p URL.

Why did my input fail immediately?

Confirm that maxItems is between 1 and 5,000 and every startUrls entry uses cobasi.com.br. At least one query or URL is required after defaults are resolved.

Why are price or EAN fields null?

Cobasi does not expose every field for every offer or variant. Null values preserve that distinction instead of inventing data.

Why are there fewer rows than the limit?

The source may have fewer matches, multiple inputs may overlap, or products may contain fewer valid SKU variants than requested. maxItems is a ceiling, not a promised minimum.

FAQ

Does it require a Cobasi login?

No. It reads public catalog information.

Does one product always equal one row?

No. One product can contain several SKU variants, and each variant is saved as a separate row.

Can I scrape a category instead of a search?

Yes. Add a public Cobasi category URL to startUrls.

Can it monitor changes automatically?

Schedule an Apify Task and compare datasets in your own workflow. The Actor creates timestamped snapshots but does not store history or send alerts itself.

Can I export to CSV or Excel?

Yes. Use the dataset export controls in Apify Console or a dataset API endpoint.

Does it use a proxy or browser?

The selected public catalog route works directly, so the Actor does not enable an automatic paid proxy or browser fallback. This keeps the supported workflow lightweight and avoids unmeasured proxy charges.

Are prices guaranteed?

No. They are public source snapshots collected at scrapedAt and can change afterward.
