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 ## 🛒 Almanea Scraper – Saudi Electronics, Appliances & Price Data (almanea.sa) ### ❓ What is this scraper? This scraper extracts structured product data from **[Almanea](https://www.almanea.sa/en)** (المنيع), one of Saudi Arabia's largest retailers of smartphones, laptops, TVs, home and kitchen appliances, and air conditioners. Scrape **prices, discounts, stock, brands, models, GTIN barcodes, specifications and images** for any category, brand or filtered listing, and export to JSON, CSV, Excel or HTML. The extracted data is normalized into a structured format, making it easy to use for price monitoring, analysis, integrations, or storage. *** ### ⚡ Why this scraper? - Monitor electronics and appliance prices in the Saudi market - Track discounts, original prices and promotion windows - Check stock availability and delivery options - Compare brands, models and technical specifications - Build product catalogs and market-research datasets Perfect for: - Price comparison and e-commerce analytics teams - Retail and brand managers - Market researchers - Deal and affiliate sites - Data engineers building product feeds *** ### 📥 Input ```json { "startUrls": [{ "url": "https://www.almanea.sa/en/mobiles-tablets-c-7423/mobiles-c-7424" }], "maxItems": 5, "proxyConfiguration": { "useApifyProxy": false } } ``` - **startUrls** – Almanea category URLs (any URL ending in `-c-`, including brand and sub-category pages). - **maxItems** – maximum number of products to collect **per start URL**. #### Filters and sorting Copy a filtered listing URL straight from the Almanea website, the Actor applies the same filters: | Query parameter | Example | Meaning | | -------------------------------------------------------- | ------------------ | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | `brand`, `network`, `hard_capacity_computer_filter`, ... | `?brand=117,541` | Filter options of the category (comma-separated option IDs; the IDs are shown in the storefront URL after you tick a filter) | | `price` | `?price=1000,3000` | Minimum and maximum price in SAR | | `fast_delivery` | `?fast_delivery=1` | Only fast-delivery products | | `p` | `?p=4` | Scrape the products shown on storefront page 4, in the same order, up to `maxItems` | | `sort` | `?sort=price-ASC` | `position-ASC` (recommended), `price-ASC`, `price-DESC`, `special_price-DESC` (highest discount) | Filters can be combined, e.g. `?brand=117&network=314&price=1000,3000&sort=price-DESC`. - **proxyConfiguration** – optional Apify proxy settings. *** ### 📤 Output Each product is returned as a structured JSON object: ```json { "scrapedAt": "2026-10-15T08:44:14.144Z", "url": "https://www.almanea.sa/en/product/samsung-galaxy-s26-ultra-256gb-12gb-ram-5g-dual-sim-black-p-170100502030065", "sku": "170100502030065", "name": "Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra, 256GB, 12GB RAM, 5G, Dual SIM - Black", "brand": "Samsung", "model": "SM-S948BZKIMEA", "gtin": "8806097866473", "color": "Black", "category": "Mobiles & Tablets", "price": 4749.01, "originalPrice": 5499, "discountPercentage": 13.64, "currency": "SAR", "inStock": true, "stockQuantity": 415, "fastDelivery": true, "labels": ["Cashback 400 SAR"], "specifications": { "RAM": "12GB", "Storage": "256GB", "Network": "5G" }, "images": ["https://imgs.dev-almanea.com/media//catalog/product/..."] } ``` *** ### ❓ FAQ **Which Almanea pages can I scrape?** Any category, sub-category or brand page whose URL ends in `-c-`, for example `https://www.almanea.sa/en/mobiles-tablets-c-7423/mobiles-c-7424`. **Are prices in Saudi riyals?** Yes. `price` is the current price including VAT, `originalPrice` is the price before discount, and `currency` is `SAR`. **Do I need a proxy?** No. The Actor works without a proxy; you can enable Apify Proxy in the input if you prefer. **How many products can I scrape?** Use `maxItems` to cap results per start URL, or set a high value to collect a whole category. **Can I schedule it for price monitoring?** Yes. Schedule the Actor on Apify and compare `price` and `originalPrice` between runs. **Is the data Arabic or English?** It follows the URL, exactly like the website: URLs starting with `/en` (for example `https://www.almanea.sa/en/gaming-c-519`) return English data, and URLs without `/en` (for example `https://www.almanea.sa/gaming-c-519`) return Arabic data. **Can I scrape one specific page of results?** Yes. Paste a URL with `?p=N`, for example `https://www.almanea.sa/gaming-c-519?p=4`, and the Actor returns the products shown on that page of the website, in the same order. `maxItems` still applies, so set it to 32 or more to get the whole page. *** ### 🔗 Related Actors More Saudi Arabia electronics and retail scrapers from the same author: - [eXtra Scraper](https://apify.com/boring_internet_explorer/extra-scraper) – extra.com products and prices - [Jarir Scraper](https://apify.com/boring_internet_explorer/jarir-scraper) – jarir.com products and prices - [Redsea Scraper](https://apify.com/boring_internet_explorer/redsea-scraper) – Red Sea electronics prices - [Dukan Scraper](https://apify.com/boring_internet_explorer/dukan-scraper) – Dukan electronics prices - [Hnak Scraper](https://apify.com/boring_internet_explorer/hnak-scraper) – Hnak products and prices - [Noon Scraper](https://apify.com/boring_internet_explorer/noon-scraper) – Noon products in Saudi Arabia, UAE and Egypt - [Sharaf DG Scraper](https://apify.com/boring_internet_explorer/sharafDG-scraper) – Sharaf DG multi-market products *** ### 🛠️ Need a custom scraper?
