Key features

• 💵 Structured pricing: structured price, regularPrice, currency and discountPercent on every product — numbers you can sort and compare without parsing price text.
• 🏷️ Deals and discounts: promotion show which products are on offer and by how much.
• 🏷️ Brand and identifiers: brand on every product, ready to join against your own catalog.
• 🖼️ Images: imageUrl on every product, ready for a catalog or a feed.
• 🗂️ Category path: category place each product in penny.de's own category tree.
• 🔍 Keyword search: search penny.de by keyword with the query input.
• 🔗 Paste-mode: paste penny.de URLs into startUrls to scrape exactly the pages you picked in the browser.
• 💰 Price range filter: limit results to a budget with priceMin and priceMax.
• 🗂️ Category filter: narrow a run to one category with the categories input.
• ♻️ Incremental mode: daily runs emit only products whose price, campaign flag, or validity window changed since the prior run — the rest stay UNCHANGED and are filtered out by default. Perfect for price-tracking apps and tilbud-alert pipelines. Saves 80–95% on recurring monitoring.
• 🔔 Notifications: Telegram, Slack, Discord, WhatsApp Cloud API, generic webhook — out of the box. Pair with incremental + notifyOnlyChanges for "new tilbud" alerts the moment campaigns drop, without polling the flyer.

What data can you extract from penny.de?

Each result includes Core product fields (productId, offerId, slug, title, brand, category, url, and portalUrl, and more) and extended fields (detailFetched). In standard mode, all fields are always present — unavailable data points are returned as null, never omitted. In compact mode, only core fields are returned.

Input

The main inputs are a search keyword and a result limit. Additional filters and options are available in the input schema.

Key parameters:

• mode — Weekly offers = the current and next flyer. Full catalog = every flyer category (same data, all categories). Search = only products whose name matches your keywords. (default: "weeklyOffers")
• query — Search mode only: product keywords matched against the product name. Use a JSON array for several, e.g. ["kaffee","butter"].
• categories — Category slugs to collect, e.g. kuehlregal, obst-und-gemuese, top-angebote. Leave empty for every category. (default: [])
• regions — Optional PENNY selling-region codes. Each region is collected separately and every record carries its sellingRegion. Leave empty for the nationwide flyer. (default: [])
• maxResults — Maximum products in total (0 = everything in the flyer). (default: 100)
• startUrls — Optional: paste penny.de offer or category page URLs. Each URL becomes its own task; results are de-duplicated by product. (default: [])
• onlyOffers — Drop flyer products shown at their normal price (no reduction, no PENNY-app price). (default: false)
• priceMin — Lowest offer price (EUR) to keep.
• priceMax — Highest offer price (EUR) to keep.
• compact — Core fields only (for AI-agent/MCP workflows). (default: false)
• excludeEmptyFields — Drop null, empty-string, and empty-array fields from each record before push. Smaller payloads for AI agents and dashboards. (default: false)
• incrementalMode — Compare against previous run state — new offers, ended offers and price changes only. stateKey is optional: it defaults to a value derived from your search inputs (mode, categories, keywords, regions and filters) so different filter sets never share state. (default: false)
• ...and 18 more parameters

Input examples

Basic search — Keyword-driven search with a result cap.

→ Full payload per result — all standard fields populated where the source provides them.

{
  "mode": "search",
  "query": "kaffee",
  "maxResults": 50
}

Incremental tracking — Only emit products that changed since the previous run with this stateKey.

→ First run builds the baseline state. Subsequent runs emit only records that are new or whose tracked content changed. Set emitUnchanged: true to include unchanged records as well.

{
  "mode": "search",
  "query": "kaffee",
  "maxResults": 200,
  "incrementalMode": true,
  "stateKey": "kaffee-tracker"
}

Compact output for AI agents — Return only core fields for AI-agent and MCP workflows.

→ Small payload with the most important fields — ideal for piping into LLMs without token overhead.

{
  "mode": "search",
  "query": "kaffee",
  "maxResults": 50,
  "compact": true
}

Output

Each run produces a dataset of structured product records. Results can be downloaded as JSON, CSV, or Excel from the Dataset tab in Apify Console.

Incremental fields

When incremental mode is on, each record also carries:

• changeType — one of NEW, UPDATED, UNCHANGED, REAPPEARED, EXPIRED. Default output covers NEW / UPDATED / REAPPEARED; set emitUnchanged: true or emitExpired: true to opt into the others.
• isRepost, repostOfId, repostDetectedAt — populated when a new listing matches the tracked content of a previously expired one. Set skipReposts: true to drop detected reposts from the output.

How much does it cost to scrape penny.de?

Penny Germany Scraper uses pay-per-event pricing. You pay a small fee when the run starts and then for each result that is actually produced.

• Per result: $0.00108 per product record

Example costs:

• 10 results: $0.015

• 200 results: $0.22
• 500 results: $0.54

Example: recurring monitoring savings

These examples compare full re-scrapes with incremental runs at different churn rates. Churn is the share of products that are new or whose tracked content changed since the previous run. Actual churn depends on your query breadth, source activity, and polling frequency — the scenarios below are examples, not predictions.

Example setup: 250 products per run, daily polling (30 runs/month). Costs scale linearly with the number of products.

Churn rate	Full re-scrape run cost	Incremental run cost	Savings vs full re-scrape	Monthly cost after baseline
5% — stable niche query	$0.27	$0.02	$0.26 (93%)	$0.54
15% — moderate broad query	$0.27	$0.04	$0.23 (84%)	$1.35
30% — high-volume aggregator	$0.27	$0.09	$0.19 (69%)	$2.57

Full re-scrape monthly cost at the same cadence: $8.24. First month with incremental costs $0.80 / $1.58 / $2.75 for the 5% / 15% / 30% scenarios because the first run builds baseline state at full cost before incremental savings apply.

Platform usage is included in the per-result fee shown above.
