SPAR Austria Scraper — Grocery Prices & Products

What does SPAR Austria Scraper do?

SPAR Austria Scraper extracts structured grocery product data from spar.at — product name, brand, pack size, shelf price in EUR, price per unit, promotion flag, stock status and GTIN. It supports keyword search and controllable result limits, so you can run the same query consistently over time. Incremental mode returns only the products whose price or availability changed since the last run, and detail enrichment adds full descriptions where the source provides them.

How to use this actor

• 👉 Register for a free Apify account — no credit card required.
• 🎉 Just click Sign up free on Apify → and complete a quick signup.
• 💰 A free Apify account includes $5 in monthly credits — enough to test this actor.
• ⏳ Scrape during the free trial, with no commitment or upfront payment required.

Key features

• 🔔 Notifications — Telegram, Slack, Discord, WhatsApp Cloud API, and generic webhook out of the box. Pair with incremental for daily new-listing alerts without pipeline glue.
• 🔗 Paste-mode — paste any spar-at URL straight from your browser — single-listing pages, search-results URLs, or category SEO URLs. Mix freely with keyword and IDs in the same run; results dedupe by ID.
• 📋 Detail enrichment — toggle two-stage scraping: first collect listings, then enrich each with full description + detail-page-only fields. Off by default to keep runs fast; flip on when you need the deep payload.
• 🎯 Batch searches — pass ["term1", "term2"] for query, location, or city to batch multiple searches in one run — shared dedup state, single dataset, one Actor-Start charge instead of N.
• 📧 Email + phone extraction — best-effort regex extraction of contact emails and phone numbers from descriptions — emitted as extractedEmails[] and extractedPhones[] on every record.
• 🔗 URL + social-profile extraction — every record carries extractedUrls[] plus a structured socialProfiles { linkedin, twitter, instagram, facebook, youtube, tiktok, github, xing } parsed from the description.
• 📦 Compact mode — AI-agent and MCP-friendly payloads with core fields only.
• ✂️ Description truncation — cap description length with descriptionMaxLength to control LLM prompt cost and dataset size — set 0 for full descriptions, or any char-limit to trim.
• 📌 Change classification — each record carries a changeType of NEW / UPDATED / UNCHANGED / REAPPEARED / EXPIRED. Default emits NEW + UPDATED + REAPPEARED; opt into the others with emitUnchanged / emitExpired.
• 🔌 MCP connectors — export your results into Notion via Apify's MCP connectors — a clean run-summary page, no glue code. Opt-in via the App connector field; deterministic field-mapping, no AI. Built on Apify's connector framework, so more destinations open up as their catalog grows.
• 📝 Description format selection — pick a single description representation — text, html, or markdown — and the unused variants are dropped from each record. Halves payload size when your pipeline only consumes one format.

What data can you extract from spar.at?

Each result includes Core product fields (listingId, productNumber, gtin, name, fullName, brand, packSize, and salesUnit, and more) and detail fields when enrichment is enabled (description and 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.

Enable detail enrichment in the input to get richer fields such as full descriptions where the source provides them.

Input

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

Key parameters:

• query — Product search keywords, e.g. "Karotten", "Milch", "SPAR Naturpur". Use "" to browse the whole assortment. Paste a JSON array for multiple searches, e.g. ["Milch","Butter"].
• maxResults — Maximum total products (0 = unlimited). (default: 25)
• descriptionMaxLength — Truncate the product marketing text to N chars. 0 = no truncation. (default: 0)
• compact — Core product fields only (id, name, brand, pack size, prices, stock, URL) — 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 — emit only new and changed products (price changes, pack changes, stock changes). stateKey is optional and defaults to a value derived from your search inputs. (default: false)
• stateKey — Optional. Stable identifier for the tracked product universe. Leave empty to auto-generate from search inputs.
• emitUnchanged — When incremental mode is on, also emit products whose data has not changed since the last run. (default: false)
• emitExpired — When incremental mode is on, also emit products that were seen before but are no longer in the assortment. (default: false)
• skipReposts — When incremental, skip products whose content matches a delisted product from a prior run (cross-run duplicate detection). (default: false)
• telegramToken — Telegram bot token (from @BotFather). Required for Telegram notifications.
• telegramChatId — Telegram chat or channel ID (e.g. "-100123456789"). Required when telegramToken is set.
• ...and 14 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.

{
  "query": "Karotten",
  "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.

{
  "query": "Karotten",
  "maxResults": 200,
  "incrementalMode": true,
  "stateKey": "karotten-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.

{
  "query": "Karotten",
  "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 spar.at?

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

• Run start: $0.005 per run
• Per result: $0.002 per product record

Example costs:

• 10 results: $0.025
• 25 results: $0.055
• 100 results: $0.21
• 200 results: $0.41
• 500 results: $1

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: 100 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	$0.21	$0.01	$0.19 (93%)	$0.45
15% — moderate broad query	$0.21	$0.03	$0.17 (83%)	$1.05
30% — high-volume aggregator	$0.21	$0.07	$0.14 (68%)	$1.95

Full re-scrape monthly cost at the same cadence: $6.15. First month with incremental costs $0.64 / $1.22 / $2.09 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.
