Jumia Scraper

Jumia Scraper extracts data from any Jumia product, catalog or category pages - parses and converts the data to structured formats: HTML table, JSON, CSV, Excel and XML.

By providing a search term (keyword) and/or category URL, you can extract prices, product descriptions, images, stock availability, brand, category, sku, etc.

Why scrape Jumia products?

The extracted data can be useful in the following ways:

• Optimize product prices
• Monitor practices employed by your competitors
• Understand market dynamics to boost productivity
• Harness the power of prevailing trends, etc.

Cost of usage

Apify generously offers you $5 free usage credits monthly. From our tests, you can scrape upto 400,000 results. This should be good enough for most of your use cases but you can upgrade to a higher plan to extract even more data.

Sample input parameter

Below is a sample of the input

1{
2  "startUrls": ["https://www.jumia.com.ng/health-beauty/"],
3  "maxItems": 2000,
4  "proxyConfig": {
5    "useApifyProxy": false
6  },
7  "maxConcurrency": 1,
8  "handlePageTimeoutSecs": 30000,
9  "maxRequestRetries": 3
10}

• maxItems: this specifies the maximum number or results you want to extract for a given run.
• proxyConfig: This field provides you with the option to use a proxy for the run or not. You can set the value to {"useApifyProxy": true} if you are getting blocked. By default, the scraper will use Apify's datacenter proxies but you can provide one instead, manually.
• maxConcurrency: This specifies the number of concurrent operations. To get your results quickly, set this to a higher number.
• handlePageTimeoutSecs: Number of seconds elapsed to mark a page as timeout.
• maxRequestRetries: Number of times the scraper will retry handling a failed page. The default value is 3 times.
• startUrls: This is an array of static URLs to be added to the request queue. It can be a product or category page.

Supported URL types

Limitation and solution

Category and Catalog pages can return a maximum of 2,000 results (this is a hard limit by Jumia). To extract more data, you can apply several filters e.g by price, brand, etc.

Pagination

The scraper handles category and catalog pages pagination automatically, in a bid to extract as much data as possible. You can then use the maxCrawledProducts parameter to set the maximum number of the results to be obtained.
