Alza Scraper – Catalog Builder (CZ, SK, HU, AT, DE)

Get Alza products as clean, structured catalog data, not just titles and prices.

Other Alza scrapers give you a list. This one gives you a catalog you can import, compare or analyze straight away: the real sale price next to the original price, the manufacturer part number, the full technical spec sheet as structured fields, and a clean category path.

What makes it different

	Typical Alza scraper	This Actor
Price	One price, often the strike-through one	Sale price, original price and discount %
Product identity	Alza order code	Alza code + manufacturer part number (MPN) + brand
Specs	Name and maybe a description	Full spec sheet as key-value fields (30–50 per product)
Categories	Alza breadcrumb	Clean category path + family / model, plus the original breadcrumb
Variants	Only the page you gave it	Colour and storage variants as separate rows (beta)

Why MPN matters: Alza does not publish EAN barcodes on its product pages. Brand + MPN is the identifier that lets you find the same product in other shops, in your supplier's price list, or in a product content database.

Who it's for

• E-shops building or refreshing a catalog (WooCommerce, Shoptet, PrestaShop): import-ready rows with categories and specs.
• Pricing and category managers tracking Alza's prices and discounts in a category.
• Brands and distributors checking how their products are listed, priced and rated on Alza.

Quick start

1. Paste one or more Alza category URLs, e.g. https://www.alza.cz/EN/lcd-monitors/18842948.htm.
2. Set how many products per category.
3. Run. Export the results as Excel, CSV or JSON, or pull them through the API.

Works on all five Alza shops: alza.cz, alza.sk, alza.hu, alza.at and alza.de, and you can mix countries in one run. Tested in the cloud on 25 Oct 2026 on every domain: each product comes with the right currency (CZK, EUR or HUF), sale and original price, MPN, brand and the full spec sheet. Category IDs are the same across countries, so …/18842948.htm is the monitor category on every domain. The /EN/ versions of alza.cz return English names and specs; the other domains return specs in their local language.

Content rights

By default the Actor returns factual data only: identifiers, prices, specs, categories, ratings. Descriptions and photos belong to Alza or the brand, so they are off by default. If you turn them on, reusing them in your own shop is your responsibility. For publishable content, use brand + MPN to get official images and texts from the manufacturer or a licensed content provider.

Good to know

• Alza protects its site against bots. The Actor uses real browsers, rotating sessions and Czech residential proxies (these worked for all five domains in testing), and retries blocked pages. Keep concurrency at 2–4.
• Images, fonts and trackers are not downloaded during the crawl, which keeps proxy traffic and cost low. Image URLs are still collected when you turn that option on.
• Prices are what Alza shows at the time of the run, in the domain's currency, VAT included.
• The category taxonomy covers electronics, gaming, toys, pet supplies and home appliances in depth. Other categories fall back to Alza's own breadcrumb.

Coming next

• Same product, other Czech shops: price comparison by brand + MPN
• Price-change tracking between scheduled runs
• Shoptet / WooCommerce column presets for direct import
