Flipkart Product Scraper & Price Monitor (search, specs, stock)

Flipkart Product Scraper & Price Monitor

Search Flipkart by keyword or feed it product URLs and get one flat row per product: price, MRP, discount, rating, stock and category — with the full spec table, seller and delivery date on request. No login, no cookies, India exit so prices are the real INR prices an Indian shopper sees.

Try it: the prefilled example returns 20 rows in about 20 seconds and costs about $0.030. Results cost $1.50 per 1,000.

What you get

Real rows from the example dataset (searches: ["headphones"]):

title	price	mrp	discountPercent	rating	inStock
Skullcandy Crusher Bluetooth Headset with Mic	6999	39999	82	4.4 (1098 ratings, 209 reviews)	true

With fetchDetails: true the same product also gets seller: "SuperComNet", sellerRating: 4.1, delivery: "Delivery by Wednesday, 16 Sep", highlights: ["Up to 40 hrs of Battery Life", "With Deep Bass", "Bluetooth Connectivity"] and a 22-key specs dictionary.

Full row: id/productId, url, title, brand, price, mrp, currency, discountPercent, rating, ratingCount, reviewCount, inStock, imageUrl, category, highlights, specs, seller, sellerRating, delivery, query, rank, page, source, scrapedAt.

Use cases

• Price tracking — run a saved task in monitor mode on a list of product URLs or a keyword; you get rows only when price, stock or rating changed, plus a webhook or Telegram message.
• Competitor and catalogue research — pull 120+ products for a keyword with MRP, discount and rating counts and see where a category really prices.
• Assortment and spec sheets — fetchDetails gives the full specification table as a dictionary, ready for a spreadsheet.

Try it in 10 seconds

Hit Start/Try it — the input already works: searches: ["headphones"], maxPagesPerSearch: 1, maxItems: 20, nothing required. Add fetchDetails: true for specs, seller and delivery date.

To track price and stock changes instead of a one-off pull: save as a task, set Mode to monitor, give it a monitorStateId, and schedule it (Apify → Schedules → cron 0 6 * * * for daily) with a webhookUrl or Telegram target.

Why this actor

• Half the price per product of the other Flipkart scrapers on the Store.
• Search rows are already rich: price, MRP, discount, rating, both counts, stock and image come from the search page itself, so a 120-product sweep is 3 requests, not 123.
• Built-in monitor mode with webhook and Telegram alerts — price, stock and rating are the change fingerprint.
• The exit is pinned to India, so prices are INR and availability is the one Indian shoppers see.

Limits (read these)

• Flipkart never returns an empty search page. A keyword that matches nothing gets a generic catalogue page of unrelated products. With strictQueryMatch on (the default) the actor recognises such a page — no breadcrumb category, and none of the first five titles containing a word of your keyword — skips it, stops paging that keyword and charges you nothing. A run like that ends with zero rows and no_matches in the run summary. Broad keywords whose products really do match (birthday gift) are kept.
• Flipkart repeats a card or two inside a page and between pages; rows are de-duplicated by product id, so a 3-page sweep usually yields a little under 120 rows. rank is the position Flipkart gave the card on the page, so it skips the numbers of the removed duplicates and is not a dense 1..N counter.
• seller, sellerRating, delivery, specs and highlights exist only on rows fetched with fetchDetails or from productUrls.
• delivery is the date Flipkart quotes for a generic Indian address, without a pincode; the exact date for your pincode can differ.
• Prices exclude bank/card offers and exchange discounts. price is the selling price, mrp the struck-through maximum retail price.
• No buyer reviews, no reviewer names, no seller contact details — only aggregate rating, ratingCount and reviewCount.

FAQ

Do I need a Flipkart account or cookies? No. Every request is made as a logged-out visitor.

Why are some prices different from what I see? Flipkart personalises by location and shows bank-offer prices on the page; this actor returns the plain selling price from an Indian exit, without offers.

My keyword returned nothing at all — is the actor broken? No. Flipkart answers an unmatchable keyword with a page of unrelated products instead of an empty page; the actor drops that page rather than billing you for 40 irrelevant rows. Check your spelling, or set strictQueryMatch: false to see exactly what Flipkart returned.

What happens when a product URL is dead? Flipkart answers 200 with an empty shell. The row is skipped, not charged, and the run summary says why.

How do I track prices? Save the actor as a task with mode: monitor and your product URLs or keyword, schedule it, and set webhookUrl or the Telegram fields. Rows come back only when price, inStock or rating changed.

Changelog

• 0.1: initial release — keyword search with 40 products per page, product-page details (specs, highlights, seller, delivery), price range filter, unrelated-result pages skipped and unbilled, monitor mode.
