What does Penny.de Offers Scraper do?

Penny.de Offers Scraper is a Penny scraper and unofficial Penny API for the weekly supermarket offers published on penny.de/angebote. It collects every offer tile for the current week, the next week or a specific week, across all categories or only the ones you pick. Each row has the title, the offer price, the original price and discount when the tile shows them, the pack size, the unit price, the image and the link to the offer page.

The data comes from public pages, no login needed. The Actor reads the category list and the current week from the offers page, then requests one JSON list per category. That is roughly one request per category, so a full run over all categories is about 25 requests, sent at a modest pace.

Typical uses are building a weekly price list for German grocery deals, tracking which products are discounted and by how much, comparing Penny offers with other retailers, and feeding a deal newsletter or a spreadsheet. Results export as JSON, CSV, Excel, XML or HTML from the dataset, and you can schedule the Actor to run every week.

What data can you get from Penny.de?

Every record contains the fields below. Some fields are empty when a tile does not show them, for example originalPrice and discount are only present on discounted offers.

Field	Description	Example
id	Stable offer UUID assigned by Penny	322b3a83-659a-4156-8b7b-83ada0379292

category	Offer category slug	top-angebote
price	Offer price in euros, footnote markers removed	0.99
originalPrice	Crossed-out or recommended price in euros, when shown	1.49
discount	Discount percentage, when shown	33%
quantity	Pack size or quantity text	je 250 ml
basePrice	Price per unit as displayed	(1 l = 3.96)
imageUrl	URL of the offer image	https://cdn.penny.de/dam/jcr:a06ab81f-3df6-44c4-a8a5-8c07a4f3bc00/55748200.png?impolicy=penny&imwidth=600

How to use Penny.de Offers Scraper

1. Open the Actor in Apify Console and go to the Input tab.
2. Choose the week: current, next, or a week slug such as 2026-41.
3. Optionally list categories, one per line: slugs, German names such as Obst & Gemüse, or links to penny.de/angebote. Leave the list empty to scrape every category.
4. Set maxItems to cap the number of offers.
5. Click Start, then export the dataset as JSON, CSV or Excel when the run finishes.

Tips: category slugs are the last part of the URL on penny.de/angebote, for example top-angebote, fleisch-und-wurst, getraenke or kuehlregal. Some categories have numbered variants for different offer periods, such as getraenke1 for offers from Thursday; asking for getraenke includes them. Common English words like drinks or dairy are mapped to the matching Penny category. The same product can appear in more than one category with a different id. The next week is only available once Penny has published it; until then the run returns the current week and says so in the log, and the week field of each row shows the week you actually got.

Choosing the week

The week input accepts three kinds of values. The value current makes the Actor read the current week from the offers page, so a scheduled run always follows the live offers without you changing anything. The value next uses the following week when Penny has already published it, which is handy for planning a shopping list or preparing a newsletter before the offers start. A slug such as 2026-41 (also written 2026-W41 or KW41) asks for that exact week. The site only serves the live week and, shortly before it starts, the next one. If you ask for a week one or two weeks away that is not online, the run returns the current week instead and logs a warning; a week further away ends with zero results and a status message.

Working with the output

Each row is one offer tile. The price and originalPrice fields are numbers in euros, so you can sort, filter and compute savings directly in a spreadsheet or a database. The discount field keeps the percentage text as a string. The quantity and basePrice fields are kept exactly as displayed on the tile, which means they contain the German wording, for example je 250 ml for a single can or (1 l = 3.96) for the price per litre. If you need the unit price as a number, parse the figure after the equals sign.

Because the id is the offer identifier assigned by Penny, you can use it to join runs from different weeks or to detect new offers between two runs. The offerUrl points to the product offer page on penny.de, and imageUrl points to a large version of the product image.

Filtering by keyword

Set searchTerms to keep only offers whose title contains one of the keywords, for example {"week": "current", "searchTerms": ["Kaffee", "Butter"], "maxItems": 50}. The filter runs on the categories you chose (or all categories when none is given), so it also works for price monitoring of a single product.

Penny.de Offers Scraper is charged per result. You pay only for the results returned, and maxItems caps how many that can be. See the Pricing tab for the current price.

FAQ

How fresh is the data? Each run reads the live offers on penny.de at the time it runs. Penny changes its offers weekly, so a weekly schedule is usually enough.

Why did my run return 0 results? Either a category slug does not exist this week, or the week you asked for is far from the current one. The run status message says what to change. Check slugs on penny.de/angebote.

Why is originalPrice or discount empty? Only discounted tiles show an original price and a percentage. Other offers have these fields empty.

Why do prices have no footnote marks? Some tiles show prices like 0.69 followed by a footnote symbol. The scraper keeps the number only.

Can I get all categories at once? Yes. Leave categories empty and every category listed on the offers page is scraped until maxItems is reached.

Do I need a proxy? Usually not. If requests get blocked, enable Apify Proxy in the proxy settings; blocked requests are retried on a new IP automatically.

Are store-specific offers included? No. The Actor collects the national weekly offers listed on the offers page, not offers for a single store.

Does it collect prices for a specific store or postcode? No. Penny publishes national weekly offers on this page, and that is what the Actor collects. Store specific stock and prices are not part of the data.

Can I run it on a schedule? Yes. Use the Schedules feature in Apify Console and run it once a week with week set to current. Combine it with a webhook or an integration to push the new rows into your tools automatically.

What happens if a category name is wrong? The Actor logs which category was not found, continues with the other categories, and finishes successfully. If none of the categories exist, the run ends with zero results and a message that tells you to check the slugs on the offers page.

How many requests does a run make? One request for the offers page and one per category, sent about once per second. A run over every category therefore makes about twenty-five requests in total, which keeps the load on the site small.

Is it legal to scrape Penny.de?

This Actor collects only publicly available offer data that anyone can see on the website without logging in. You are responsible for how you use the data, including compliance with applicable laws and the site's terms. This is not legal advice. This Actor is an independent tool and is not affiliated with or endorsed by Penny or its owner.
