Idealo Price Scraper

Disclaimer: Unofficial tool — not affiliated with, sponsored by, or endorsed by idealo internet GmbH or its affiliates. Data is read from publicly accessible product and search pages only. No login.

Idealo Price Scraper looks up a GTIN, a product URL, or a search term and returns the price, offer count, and shop. Product and GTIN lookups also include the merchant offers on that page: shop name, price, total with shipping, and delivery. Search stays on the result cards so a keyword run does not open every product.

Use it for repricing checks, catalog enrichment, and a first pass before you compare the same product on Amazon or eBay.

Use cases

• Repricing: refresh a list of GTINs and read the lowest price and the shop count.
• Catalog match: confirm a barcode resolves to a title, brand, and image.
• Assortment research: search a keyword and export the first page of cards.
• Offer check: open one product URL and keep every shop on that page.

FAQ

Does a search return every shop?

No. Search saves the result card: title, price, offer count, and the shop shown on the card. Pass a GTIN or a product URL when you need the offer list.

Which countries work?

Germany and Austria. Other Idealo markets are not part of this Actor.

What if the barcode is missing?

The run still succeeds. That code is skipped and nothing is saved for it.

How many rows can one run save?

50. A search term uses a single results page, which is about 30 cards, and then stops at your max items.
