DNS-Shop Scraper

Scrape dns-shop.ru — one of Russia's largest electronics and appliance retailers, covering smartphones, laptops, PC components, TVs, home appliances, and more. Search by keyword, browse any category, or fetch full details for a single product: current price, rating, review count, stock status, images, and key specs.

What this actor does

• Three modes: search, byCategory, productDetails
• Full pricing: current price, monthly installment price, currency
• Ratings & reviews: aggregate rating (0–5), review count, and (in productDetails) a full star-count breakdown plus per-aspect sub-ratings
• Price history: weekly price points and min/max over the last several months (mode=productDetails)
• Stock status: in stock / out of stock / available soon
• Key specs: processor, display, memory, camera, etc. on every record; the complete grouped technical spec sheet (every characteristic DNS-shop publishes) on productDetails
• Sibling variants: for products sold in multiple colors/memory sizes/models, the full list of sibling SKUs with their own URL, stock status, and distinguishing attributes (mode=productDetails)
• Filters: price range, minimum rating, in-stock-only, sort order
• Empty fields are omitted

• recordType: "product", scrapedAt

Input

Field	Type	Default	Description
mode	string	search	search / byCategory / productDetails
searchQuery	string	iphone	Free-text query (mode=search)
category	string	–	Curated top-level category (mode=byCategory)
categoryUrl	string	–	Full category URL override, for sub-categories not in the curated list (mode=byCategory)
productUrl	string	–	Full product URL (mode=productDetails)
sortBy	string	popularity	popularity / priceAsc / priceDesc / rating / new — search/byCategory only
priceMin	int	–	Drop products cheaper than this (RUB) — search/byCategory only
priceMax	int	–	Drop products more expensive than this (RUB) — search/byCategory only
minRating	number	–	Drop products rated below this (0–5) — search/byCategory only
inStockOnly	bool	false	Only emit in-stock products — search/byCategory only
maxItems	int	20	Hard cap (1–500)
proxyConfiguration	object	Off (no proxy)	Optional — see "Do I need a proxy?" below

sortBy, priceMin, priceMax, minRating, and inStockOnly only apply to search/byCategory listing runs. mode=productDetails always looks up the exact product at productUrl and ignores all five — a single explicit lookup is never "filtered out" or reordered.

minRating/inStockOnly never drop a listing whose corresponding field the source card doesn't expose — an unknown value is treated as "not disqualified" rather than silently discarded, so those filters only ever remove listings that are known to be out of range. priceMin/priceMax are the one exception: dns-shop.ru's "similar/analog" substitute cards (discontinued items shown in place of an out-of-stock match) carry no price at all, so when a price filter is set those price-less listings are excluded rather than passed through — otherwise a price filter would be silently unable to rule them out.

Example: search for laptops under 80,000₽, sorted by price

{
  "mode": "search",
  "searchQuery": "ноутбук",
  "priceMax": 80000,
  "sortBy": "priceAsc",
  "maxItems": 30
}

Example: browse the Smartphones category, in stock only, min 4.5 rating

{
  "mode": "byCategory",
  "category": "17a8a01d16404e77|smartfony",
  "inStockOnly": true,
  "minRating": 4.5,
  "maxItems": 50
}

Example: single product lookup

{
  "mode": "productDetails",
  "productUrl": "https://www.dns-shop.ru/product/00eb38374882ed20/61-smartfon-apple-iphone-15-128-gb-cernyj/"
}

Use cases

• Price monitoring — track competitor pricing on electronics across categories
• Market research — analyze rating/review distribution for a product category
• Assortment tracking — monitor stock availability for specific SKUs
• Deal discovery — filter by price range and rating to surface the best-value products
• Catalog enrichment — pull the full spec sheet and images for a known product URL
• Price-drop / promo detection — compare priceHistoryMin/priceHistoryMax against the current price to spot real discounts vs. list-price theater
• Review-quality signals — use ratingBreakdown and subRatings to gauge review distribution and per-aspect sentiment before trusting the headline rating

FAQ

Is this affiliated with DNS? No — this is an independent third-party actor that reads dns-shop.ru's publicly visible product pages. It is not affiliated with or endorsed by DNS.

Do I need a proxy? No. The actor passes dns-shop.ru's Qrator anti-bot challenge automatically via a warm-up browser session — proxyConfiguration is optional and off by default. Only turn it on if your specific runs start getting consistently blocked (which would indicate your egress IP has been independently reputation-flagged).

What currency are prices in? Russian rubles (RUB), as shown on the site.

Why is specs a short list, not the full technical sheet? specs reads the "key highlights" spec block shown directly on the product/listing page — populated for every record in every mode. The full technical sheet (fullSpecs) lives on a separate sub-page per product, so it's only fetched for mode=productDetails (a single item); fetching it for every row of a search/category listing would multiply the number of page loads needed per run.

Why do some products lack installmentPrice, reviewCount, ratingBreakdown, or priceHistory? Not every product offers installment financing, not every product has reviews yet (so there's nothing to break down), and brand-new listings may not have accumulated any price history yet — these fields are only included when the site actually shows them.

What's in variants? DNS-shop sells each color/memory/model combination of a product as its own separate SKU with its own URL and stock status. variants (mode=productDetails only) lists all of them — so you can see, from one lookup, that (for example) the black 256GB configuration is out of stock while the blue 128GB one is available, without running a separate lookup per configuration. Omitted entirely for products that don't offer any configuration choice.

How fresh is the pricing data? Live — every run fetches current pages; prices reflect what's shown to a live visitor at scrape time.

Can I get products from a category not in the curated dropdown? Yes — use categoryUrl with the full dns-shop.ru category (or filtered category) URL instead of the category dropdown.
