## Pricing

from $0.80 / 1,000 results

This Actor is paid per event. You are not charged for the Apify platform usage, but only a fixed price for specific events.
Since this Actor supports Apify Store discounts, the price gets lower the higher subscription plan you have.

## What's an Apify Actor?

An Actor is a serverless cloud program that runs on the Apify platform. It has two run modes.
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.

Apify vocabulary and the platform model are defined once, in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md.

## 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.

Do not guess an integration path. Every one of them is in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md: the Apify MCP server, Agent Skills with the Apify CLI, the JavaScript and Python clients, the REST API, and the account-free path for an agent with no human to sign in. It also carries the rule on stating cost before the first paid run.

For examples already wired to this Actor's own input schema, see the [API](#api) section below.

Each client library has reference documentation the quickstart does not restate: [JavaScript/TypeScript](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md) (`npm install apify-client`) and [Python](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md) (`pip install apify-client`).

# README

## 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

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

#### Example 2: A keyword search on idealo.fr

```json
{
    "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](https://apify.com/pricing?fpr=cbgdsf).

### 📦 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.

  "maxItems": 100,

## MCP server setup

```json

            "type": "http",
            "url": "https://mcp.apify.com/?tools=fetch-actor-details,azzouzana/idealo-scraper"
        }
    }
}
```

The hosted server signs you in with OAuth on first connect, so no API token belongs in this config. Clients without OAuth support can send an `Authorization: Bearer <APIFY_API_TOKEN>` header instead, using a token from API & Integrations in Apify Console (https://console.apify.com/settings/integrations).
