That's why the best course of action is to run a test scrape with a small sample of input data and limited output. You’ll get your price per scrape, which you’ll then multiply by the number of scrapes you intend to do.

⚙️ Is it legal to scrape Jumia?

Our scrapers are ethical and do not extract any private user data, such as email addresses, gender, or location. They only extract what the user has chosen to share publicly. We therefore believe that our scrapers, when used for ethical purposes by Apify users, are safe. However, you should be aware that your results could contain personal data. Personal data is protected by the GDPR in the European Union and by other regulations around the world. You should not scrape personal data unless you have a legitimate reason to do so. If you're unsure whether your reason is legitimate, consult your lawyers. You can also read Apify blog post on the legality of web scraping.

⚙️ How to Use the Jumia Scraper?

You need to provide the scrape type with either "category_url", "product_urls", or "search" fields to start with.

• If you chose "category", you must provide "category_url".
• If you chose "product", you must provide "product_urls" which is a list of product urls.
• If you chose "search", you must provide "search" field with the search keyword.

You can sort products by their popularity, price (highest or lowest), newest first, or rating. You can optionally choose to scrape reviews (defaults to true), and provide maximum of reviews to scrape. Note that if a product has a lot of reviews, then scraping them will take longer. So, if you just want a quick scraping, you can set a maximum reviews count such as 100. You can also choose your image resolution (defaults to medium resolution), and set a price range if you want.
