Universal VTEX Store Scraper

What does Universal VTEX Scraper do?

Point it at any store built on VTEX — the platform behind hundreds of major retailers in Brazil and Latin America — and get structured product data: current price, list price, interest-free installments, stock status, seller, brand, EAN barcode and image.

No configuration, no selectors. The Actor auto-detects the store's catalog API, including headless FastStore setups where the API lives on a different domain than the storefront.

Works out of the box on stores like Carrefour BR, Americanas, C&A, Cobasi, Pague Menos, Vivara, Tok&Stok, Hering, Ri Happy, Telhanorte, Pernambucanas, Época Cosméticos and many more.

Why scrape VTEX stores?

• Price monitoring across retailers — one Actor, every VTEX competitor.
• Repricing — feed live Brazilian/LatAm market prices into your engine.
• Market research — assortment, brands and installment strategies.
• Catalog matching — EAN barcodes included for exact product matching.

How do I use it?

1. Click Try for free — the prefilled example works as-is.
2. Enter the store domain (e.g. cea.com.br) and a search keyword.
3. Set Max products to control cost. Run, download JSON/CSV/Excel.

To monitor several stores, create one Task per store and schedule them.

How much will it cost?

$2.50 per 1,000 products ($0.0025 each) plus a $0.005 start fee. A daily run tracking 200 products across 3 stores ≈ $4.60/month. The Apify free plan covers roughly 1,900 products per month.

Limitations & fair use

• The store must run VTEX. If it doesn't (or firewalls its catalog API), the run fails immediately with a clear message — you're not charged for products that don't exist. Not sure? Just try: detection takes seconds.
• A single search returns at most ~2,500 products (VTEX API limit). Use more specific keywords for deep categories.
• price can be null for out-of-stock items; prices belong to the store's default seller.
• Public catalog data only — no personal data, no logged-in areas.

FAQ

How do I know if a store runs VTEX?

Big Brazilian/LatAm retail is full of VTEX. Run the Actor with the store's domain: if it's VTEX, you get products; if not, a clear error in seconds (only the $0.005 start fee is spent).

Is it legal?

This Actor collects publicly available, non-personal catalog data (prices, titles, stock), in line with GDPR/LGPD. Review the store's terms and your local rules for your use case.
