***
### ๐ฏ What this scrapes
Zalando.de is DE/EU's largest online fashion retailer, with no public product-listing API. This Actor scrapes any of Zalando's category pages โ sneakers, boots, dresses, and every other category the site exposes as its own URL path โ pulling the same structured product data the site itself renders per card: SKU, name, brand, price, silhouette (SNEAKER / BOOTS / etc.), gender, available sizes, and product images. Built on `curl-cffi` with browser TLS impersonation; no browser automation, no login required.
### ๐ฅ What we handle for you
- ๐ก๏ธ **Browser fingerprint rotation** โ `curl-cffi` impersonates real Chrome / Firefox TLS handshakes so the target sees a browser, not Python.
- ๐ **Proxy rotation** via Apify Proxy, pinned to Germany by default so a random exit can't silently swap in a different regional catalog.
- ๐ **Retries with exponential backoff** on `408 / 429 / 5xx` โ up to 5 attempts per page, `Retry-After` honoured.
- ๐งฑ **Per-category, per-page fault isolation** โ one bad category path or one failed page never crashes the whole run.
- ๐ง **Clean, typed dataset rows** โ Pydantic-validated, ISO-8601 timestamps, stable SKUs, JSON / CSV / Excel export straight from the Apify Console.
- ๐ฐ **Pay-Per-Event pricing** โ you only pay for results that hit your dataset. No data, no charge.
### ๐ก Use cases
- **Price monitoring** โ track price moves on specific categories or brands over time.
- **Assortment tracking** โ see what's newly listed, out of stock, or discontinued in a category.
- **Trend research** โ pull silhouette and brand mix across a category to spot fast-moving fashion trends.
- **Dropshipping sourcing** โ build a structured product feed with prices, sizes, and images ready to re-list.
- **Competitive benchmarking** โ compare your own catalog's pricing and assortment against Zalando's.

### ๐ง Limitations
This Actor browses Zalando's category pages, not its keyword search โ `zalando.de/catalog/?q=` returns a 404 on this site, so there is no free-text search input; supply the category path segments you want instead. v1 covers `www.zalando.de` only (Zalando runs ~20 separate country domains with distinct catalogs). Category pages surface the above-the-fold set of rendered product cards per page; very large categories should be paged with `maxPagesPerCategory`.
### โ FAQ
**How do I find a category path?**
Browse to any Zalando.de category (e.g. men's sneakers) and copy the path segment from the URL โ `zalando.de/herrenschuhe-sneaker/` becomes `herrenschuhe-sneaker`.
**Why is there no keyword/search input?**
Zalando's own `/catalog/?q=` search endpoint returns a 404 โ it is not a working entry point on this site. Category-path browsing is the reliable way to reach listings, so that's what this Actor offers.
**What currency are prices in?**
Whatever Zalando's German storefront lists โ almost always EUR, in `price_currency`. `price_amount` is a decimal value (already divided from cents).
**Why did a category return fewer rows than `maxResultsPerCategory`?**
Either the category itself has fewer products than the cap, or pagination stopped early because a page parsed to zero new products โ both are normal, successful outcomes.
**Is this a Zalando-sanctioned API?**
No. Zalando publishes no public product-listings API. This Actor scrapes the public website politely with browser TLS impersonation and proxy rotation.
