## Pricing

from $4.00 / 1,000 product listings

This Actor is paid per event and usage. You are charged both the fixed price for specific events and for Apify platform usage.
Since this Actor supports Apify Store discounts, the price gets lower the higher subscription plan you have.

## What's an Apify Actor?

An Actor is a serverless cloud program that runs on the Apify platform. 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`).

## Jumia Scraper — Prices, Ratings & Official Stores

> **Disclaimer:** Unofficial tool — not affiliated with, sponsored by, or endorsed by Jumia or its affiliates. Data is read from publicly accessible search pages only. No login. You are responsible for complying with applicable law and the site’s terms. No warranty on accuracy or availability. Provided for informational and research use.

Search Jumia by **keyword** or **category URL** and extract **product cards** with **SKU**, **title**, **local price**, **old price**, **discount**, **rating**, **rating count**, and the **Official Store** badge. This **Jumia scraper** is an **API alternative** for **price monitoring** and **catalog research** across Nigeria, Kenya, Egypt, and other Jumia markets. Run it from **Python**, **Node.js**, or **MCP**; export JSON / CSV / dataset. **HTTP** only — no headless browser.

> **Crawloop Marketplace & E-commerce Suite** — Jumia search cards, then Amazon, AliExpress, Flipkart, or Walmart for the same product outside Africa.

| Jumia keyword / category cards, local price, Official Store | Amazon keyword SERP, badges, sponsored | AliExpress prices, sold count, Choice | Flipkart INR price, MRP, Assured | Walmart ZIP-local prices |

***

### When to use this Actor

- **Africa price checks** — local selling price, old price, and percent off on a keyword
- **Catalog pulls** — SKU, title, rating, and image from search or category URLs
- **Official Store shortlists** — keep only cards flagged Official Store
- **Scheduled refresh** — same query, compare `price` and `discountPercent` over time

### When not to use this Actor

- **Product page specs, gallery, or seller name** — search cards only. The card has an Official Store badge, not a seller profile
- **Review text** — rating and rating count are on the card; review bodies are not
- **Amazon, AliExpress, Flipkart, or Walmart** — use the sibling Actors in the table above

***

### Key Features

- **Keyword search** — `query` or batch `queries` (up to 4 in parallel)
- **Country** — Nigeria, Kenya, Egypt, Ghana, Morocco, Côte d'Ivoire, Uganda, Senegal. Pasted URLs keep their own domain
- **Paste search or category URLs** — pagination updates `page`. Product page URLs are rejected
- **Pagination + caps** — up to **20 pages** per query, or stop at `maxItems`
- **Price and rating filters** — `minPrice`, `maxPrice`, `minRating`, `officialStoreOnly`
- **HTTP** — Chrome TLS impersonation, 256 MB. Catalog pages use the Apify unblocker proxy

***

### How to scrape Jumia search results

1. Set a keyword in `query`, or paste search/category URLs in `searchUrls`.
2. Pick `country` for keyword searches (default Nigeria).
3. Cap volume with `maxItems` and `maxPages`.
4. Run the Actor. Download the default dataset as JSON, CSV, or Excel — or call it from Python, Node.js, or MCP.

***

| :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- |
| `query` | String | — | Primary search keyword |
| `queries` | Array | — | Extra keywords (same country and filters) |
| `searchUrls` | Array | — | Search or category URLs. Product pages are rejected |
| `country` | String | `NG` | Market for keyword searches |
| `maxPages` | Integer | `1` | Pages per query/URL (1–20) |
| `maxItems` | Integer | — | Product cap **per** query or URL |
| `startPage` | Integer | `1` | First page |
| `minPrice` / `maxPrice` | Number | — | Drop cards outside this local-currency range |
| `minRating` | Number | — | Minimum average rating (0–5) |
| `officialStoreOnly` | Boolean | `false` | Keep Official Store cards only |
| `deduplicateIds` | Boolean | `true` | One row per `productId` in the run |

### FAQ

**Does this open product pages?**
No. One search or category document per page. Specs, reviews, and seller names that are not on the card are not collected.

**Which countries work?**
Keyword search supports Nigeria, Kenya, Egypt, Ghana, Morocco, Côte d'Ivoire, Uganda, and Senegal. A pasted URL uses the domain in that URL.

**What if the run saves nothing?**
An empty keyword or a blocked page finishes without rows and without a crash. Check the status message.

**Can I schedule it?**
Yes. Save a task with the same keyword and run it on a schedule. Compare `price` across runs.

# Actor input Schema

Jumia keyword (for example phone).

## `queries` (type: `array`):

## `country` (type: `string`):

Jumia market for keyword searches. Pasted URLs keep their own domain.

## `maxPages` (type: `integer`):

Search pages per query or URL (1–20). Stops earlier when maxItems is reached.

## `maxItems` (type: `integer`):

Optional cap on products saved per keyword or search URL.

## `startPage` (type: `integer`):

First results page (1-based).

## `minPrice` (type: `number`):

Drop cards cheaper than this amount in the local currency shown on the card.

## `maxPrice` (type: `number`):

Drop cards more expensive than this amount in the local currency shown on the card.

## `minRating` (type: `number`):

Keep cards with at least this average rating (0–5). Cards without a rating are dropped when this is set.

## `officialStoreOnly` (type: `boolean`):

Keep only cards flagged Official Store.

## `deduplicateIds` (type: `boolean`):

Save each productId once across the whole run.

## `maxConcurrency` (type: `integer`):

The hosted server signs you in with OAuth on first connect, so no API token belongs in this config. Clients without OAuth support can send an `Authorization: Bearer <APIFY_API_TOKEN>` header instead, using a token from API & Integrations in Apify Console (https://console.apify.com/settings/integrations).
