Idealo Price Comparison Scraper

Copying prices off idealo by hand is a slow afternoon. Paste a search or category link and the products land in your dataset in seconds: titles, best prices, shops, ratings, and how many merchants are listing each one.

Engineering Excellence & Reliability 🚀

• Six markets, one actor: Germany, Austria, France, the UK, Spain, and Italy. Use the link from the site you already shop on.
• Pagination is handled for you. Large categories keep going up to your maxItems.
• We bypass the website limitation and go beyond it. Duplicate listings are skipped.
• Optional full product pages. Turn on fetchFullDetails when you want the product page record instead of the search card.
• Ready to use. Clean JSON, CSV, Excel, or API.

🛠️ How to Play

Field	Type	Description
startUrl	String	(Required) Search, category, or product URL from idealo.de, idealo.at, idealo.fr, idealo.co.uk, idealo.es, or idealo.it. Copy it from the browser address bar.
maxItems	Number	How many products to save. Default 100. Free accounts are capped at 5 per run.
fetchFullDetails	Boolean	false keeps the search card. true opens each product page and saves that record instead.

Example 1: Smartphones on idealo.de

{
    "startUrl": "https://www.idealo.de/preisvergleich/ProductCategory/19116.html",
    "maxItems": 100,
    "fetchFullDetails": false
}

Example 2: A keyword search on idealo.fr

{
    "startUrl": "https://www.idealo.fr/prechcat.html?q=iphone",
    "maxItems": 50,
    "fetchFullDetails": true
}

🆓 Free tier limitations

We want you to see how this actor works before you commit. On the free tier:

• 5 items per run
• 5 runs per day
• at least 60 seconds between runs

Paid plans remove these limits. Upgrade here.

📦 What’s in the Box?

Each row is the site's own search-card record. With fetchFullDetails on, or when your start URL is already a product page, the row is that product page's record instead.
