## What's an Apify Actor?

Actors are web data automations that power AI and operations. They run on the Apify platform to scrape websites, process data, connect APIs, and automate workflows.
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.
Actors are written with capital "A".

## 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.
The best way to integrate Actors is as follows.

- **AI agents and MCP clients** — the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/integrations/mcp.md) at `https://mcp.apify.com` (remote, streamable HTTP, OAuth on first use).
- **Agentic workflows and local Actor development** — [Agent Skills](https://apify.com/.well-known/agent-skills/index.json) with the [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md): `npm install -g apify-cli`, then `apify login`.
- **JavaScript/TypeScript projects** — the official [JS/TS client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md): `npm install apify-client`.
- **Python projects** — the official [Python client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md): `pip install apify-client`.
- **Any other language** — the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md).

For usage examples, see the [API](#api) section below.

# README

## dm Germany Products, Ingredients & Store Availability Scraper

Search dm Germany products, extract rich product details such as ingredients and warnings, find real stores, and check online or pickup availability. Use it for catalog enrichment, assortment research, price monitoring, local availability checks, and beauty or pharmacy product research.

This is an unofficial scraper and is not affiliated with or endorsed by dm-drogerie markt.

### Supported operations

- **search** — keyword search with pagination, sorting, ratings, prices, images, and optional rich-detail enrichment.
- **category** — category products using a dm category ID.
- **product** — exact rich product details by DAN or dm.de product URL.
- **stores** — nearby stores by coordinates or exact store details by real internal store IDs.
- **availability** — online availability and store-specific pickup status by DAN.

The default input is intentionally small and returns non-empty shampoo results:

```json
{
  "operation": "search",
  "query": "shampoo",
  "maxItems": 20,
  "includeDetails": false,
  "proxyMode": "auto"
}
```

#### Rich product details

```json
{
  "operation": "product",
  "dans": ["3058454", "3043247"],
  "proxyMode": "auto"
}
```

Product records use stable retail fields such as id, barcode, name, brand, price, currency, breadcrumbs, source\_url, image, and images. Exact detail responses can also include description, ingredients, usage\_instructions, warnings, hazard\_information, benefits, and product attributes. Empty fields are omitted.

#### Category products

```json
{
  "operation": "category",
  "categoryId": "060502",
  "maxItems": 25,
  "sort": "editorial_relevance"
}
```

Category IDs are dm's internal public identifiers. A category URL alone is not accepted unless it contains an allCategories.id query parameter.

#### Nearby stores

```json
{
  "operation": "stores",
  "latitude": 52.52,
  "longitude": 13.405,
  "maxStores": 10
}
```

Store rows contain the internal store\_id, customer-facing store\_number, structured address, coordinates, opening hours, services, and express-pickup support. Preserve store\_id for availability requests.

#### Store pickup availability

```json
{
  "operation": "availability",
  "dans": ["3043247"],
  "storeIds": ["D20D"],
  "availabilityMode": "both"
}
```

Online, pickup, and both modes are supported. Pickup results are source-reported status labels for the selected store; they do not represent a guaranteed shelf quantity. Global product prices are never presented as store-specific prices.

### Filters and enrichment

Search and category stay lightweight by default. Use includeDetails only when ingredients, warnings, or other product-detail sections are required, because it performs one additional request per returned product.

Listing filters include exact brands, minimum or maximum price, minimum rating, and optional pharmacy exclusion. Sorting supports relevance, editorial relevance, ascending or descending price, newest, and rating.

### Proxy modes and failures

Auto tries direct access first and rotates through supplied custom proxies on retryable blocks. Direct, custom, and German Apify proxy modes are also available. Requests retry HTTP 403, 429, and transient server failures, reject non-JSON responses, and verify product/store identity before publishing.

Invalid input or exhausted request retries fail the Actor run after writing a structured OUTPUT summary. A source failure is not reported as a successful empty scrape.

Respect dm.de's terms, robots policy, and applicable law. Keep result limits proportionate and avoid unnecessary detail enrichment.
