Good to know

• Books are listed from Casa del Libro's own "new and recently reissued books" sitemap (last 30 days for printed books, ebooks and audiobooks, last 7 days for textbooks, last 90 days for pre-orders), not a paginated listing: the site's robots.txt blocks every listing, sort and search path (/libros/p1*.../p9*, /libros/ordenar*, /libros/*?*, /fichas*, /libreria*), so the sitemap is the only discovery path available. A typical run has several thousand book URLs to pick from.
• inStock reflects the edition's real-time availability on the site: a false value means the edition is currently out of stock, not a scraping error.
• author is the book's own published bibliographic credit (the same kind of public attribution as a film's director), never a private individual's contact data. Co-written books list every credited author.
• category is the most specific category Casa del Libro's own breadcrumb gives for the book (e.g. "Derecho civil", "Poesía contemporánea española del XIX al XXI").
• price and numberOfPages are numbers, not text, even though the site publishes them as strings.
• A handful of listed editions occasionally come back 404 between the sitemap being generated and the page being fetched (taken off sale, merged into another ISBN); those are skipped rather than failing the run.
• No browser and no proxy needed: runs are fast and cheap.
• The dataset contains public book catalog information only. No personal data of any individual (buyer, reviewer, or bookstore staff) is collected.

Monitor new books daily and connect your tools

1. Schedule it. Schedule a daily run with Apify Schedules and compare price and inStock for the same isbn between runs. Tick Only new results in the input and each run returns, and charges, only the books that earlier runs of the same search did not deliver.
2. Push the results where you work. Add an Apify integration or a webhook to the task: Google Sheets, Slack, Make, Zapier, n8n or your own endpoint, triggered at the end of every run.
3. Call it from your stack. The API and the JavaScript and Python clients return the dataset as JSON, CSV or Excel.
4. Let an AI agent use it. Through the Apify MCP server, assistants such as Claude or ChatGPT can search the Store, read this page and run the actor as a tool.
