M.Video Scraper

What this actor does

• Three modes: search, byCategory, productDetails
• 89 curated categories — TVs, smartphones, laptops, kitchen appliances, and more, plus a free-text override for any sub-category
• Price, discount, and rating filters — plus server-side brand and seller filters for byCategory
• Full specifications — flattened spec tables (screen size, resolution, capacity, etc.) for every product in search/productDetails mode
• Customer reviews — up to 20 of the most helpful reviews per product (text, pros/cons, recommendation, star rating breakdown, % who recommend)
• Similar products — alternate SKUs in the same model line (e.g. other screen sizes/colors of the same TV), with a productUrl and a description of how each differs
• Seller info — legal entity name, brand/marketing name, INN, OGRN, phone, address
• Category breadcrumb trail — both plain names and {name, categoryId} objects (the categoryId is directly usable as categoryUrl input)
• Empty fields are omitted

Output: per-product listing (mode = byCategory)

• productId, name
• productUrl / sourceUrl

• salePrice, basePrice, discountPercent, currency (RUB), bonusAmount

FAQ

Do I need to provide a proxy? No — proxyConfiguration defaults to the free Apify datacenter pool. The actor only escalates to a paid residential proxy session internally, and only if the free tier gets blocked on every attempt.

Why do some products have fewer fields than others? Fields are only included when mvideo.ru actually returns a value for that product (e.g. not every product has a customer rating yet, or a discount).

What currency are prices in? Russian rubles (RUB) — mvideo.ru only sells in the Russian market.

How do I find the right value for brands/sellers? These map to mvideo.ru's own category filter facets (verified live against the site's /bff/products API). For brand/seller names written in Latin script — the vast majority (Samsung, LG, Sony, Xiaomi, MediaMarkt, etc.) — just use the lowercase name with spaces replaced by hyphens; the actor normalizes this for you. If a value doesn't narrow results as expected, open the category page on mvideo.ru in a browser, expand the "Бренд" (Brand) or "Продавец" (Seller) filter, and use the exact slug shown there. Cyrillic brand/seller names (e.g. Самсунг) are not auto-translated to their Latin slug — if none of your brands/sellers values resolve to a usable slug, that filter is skipped entirely (a warning is logged) rather than the run returning zero results, so always use the Latin slug.

What sort order does priceAsc/priceDesc guarantee? It's passed straight through to mvideo.ru's own sortBy=price facet — the actor does not re-sort results itself. In practice the site interleaves a small number of promoted/sponsored listings into the feed regardless of the requested sort, so the emitted order may not be perfectly monotonic by price; this is a property of the retailer's own ranking, not a scraping defect.

Can I get more than 10 results from mode=search? Not directly — mvideo.ru's own search API caps at around 10 matching products per query, and the actor passes results through as-is rather than re-ranking or padding them. For broad discovery, find the product's category via one search, then switch to mode=byCategory with that category for full pagination.

How fresh is the data? Real-time — every run fetches current prices, stock status, and ratings directly from mvideo.ru.

Is this actor affiliated with mvideo.ru? No — this is an independent, third-party actor that reads mvideo.ru's own publicly reachable product data. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or operated by M.Video.
