Americanas Scraper — $0.50/1k · Pix Price

Scrape products from Americanas.com.br, Brazil's #2 e-commerce marketplace, by search term or search URL. Returns live price, discount, Pix price, seller and stock, no browser required.

Why use this scraper

Americanas.com.br does not publish a public product-search API, and prices, discounts and stock change by the hour on a marketplace with thousands of third-party sellers. Price monitoring tools, market-research teams and price-comparison sites need a fast, cheap way to pull the current state of a search result or category, not a one-off manual check.

This Actor queries the same VTEX Catalog API that powers the Americanas.com.br search box directly, so it returns clean structured JSON (price, original price, discount percentage, Pix price, seller, stock) without rendering a single page in a browser.

Americanas.com.br runs on the VTEX commerce platform, the same one used by many other large Brazilian retailers. Reading the public Catalog API directly instead of the rendered HTML page means fewer moving parts to break when the site's front end changes, and no anti-bot friction to work around, which keeps runs fast and the per-item cost low.

Overview

Input is a search term or a search URL from Americanas.com.br; output is one row per product found, with current price, discount, Pix price, seller and availability. Because it calls the VTEX Catalog API directly instead of a browser, a run typically finishes in a few seconds. Priced at $0.0005 per product, the cheapest of the Americanas scrapers on the Apify Store (see comparison below).

Supported inputs

Field	Type	Description
searchTerm	string	Product or category to search, e.g. notebook, smartphone, camiseta. Use this OR searchUrl.
searchUrl	string	A Americanas.com.br search URL, e.g. https://www.americanas.com.br/busca/notebook. Alternative to searchTerm.
maxItems	integer	Maximum number of products to extract. Default 50.
onlyAvailable	boolean	When true, returns only products currently in stock. Default false.

Use cases

1. Price monitoring — track how a product's price, discount and Pix price move over time, by re-running on a schedule.
2. Market and competitor research — compare prices across different sellers listing the same product on the marketplace.
3. Category and catalog research — pull every product under a search term or category to map assortment and pricing.
4. Price-comparison feeds — feed current Americanas.com.br prices into a comparison site or BI dashboard.
5. Pix-pricing analysis — many Brazilian shoppers pay via Pix for the extra discount; compare price vs pixPrice across a catalog to see which sellers offer the deepest Pix incentive.

How it works

1. The Actor builds a search request against Americanas.com.br's own VTEX Catalog API (/api/catalog_system/pub/products/search/{term}), the same backend the site's own search box calls.
2. It paginates automatically through the API's result pages until maxItems is reached.
3. For each product, it reads price, original (list) price, discount percentage and Pix price directly from the API's payment-options data, along with stock quantity and the seller with available stock.
4. When onlyAvailable is true, products with no stock are filtered out before being returned.

Output sample

Real output from a production run (searchTerm: "notebook"), unedited:

  "scrapedAt": "2026-10-08T09:17:35.344Z"
}

Note: searchTerm: "notebook" also matches furniture listed under that keyword (desks sized for a laptop), as seen above — this reflects Americanas.com.br's own search matching, not a parsing error. Use a more specific term (e.g. "notebook samsung", "notebook dell") to target laptops specifically.

What makes this richer than the competition

Compared with the two highest-traffic listings on the Apify Store for Americanas.com.br:

• vs. latinamericadata/americanas-brasil ("Americanas Brazil Product & Price Scraper", 4 users/30d, $0.003/product): this Actor is 6x cheaper per product for the same core data (price, discount, stock, seller), with no JSON/CSV/Excel export options or webhook integrations that the other listing offers.
• **vs. abotapi/americanas-com-br-scraper ("Americanas Brazil - Products, Prices, Sellers & Reviews", 1 user/30d, $0.0015 to $0.0025/product tiered): that Actor also extracts variants, specs and customer reviews and supports an incremental change-tracking mode; this Actor is 3 to 5x cheaper but limited to the core catalog fields above, with no reviews or variant data.

Notes & limitations

• Search term matches Americanas.com.br's own search, including unrelated categories. A broad term like notebook can return furniture (desks) alongside laptops, exactly as the site's own search box would. Use a more specific term to narrow results.
• No customer reviews, product variants (size/color) or detailed specs are returned, only the core catalog fields listed above.
• description is truncated to roughly 500 characters; it is not the full product description page.
• brand is null for listings where the seller did not fill in a brand field on the marketplace.
• The same physical product can appear more than once in the results under different productId/skuId values (observed in the sample above: two identical desks, same seller and price, different IDs), because Americanas.com.br itself lists them as separate catalog entries. Deduplicate downstream by name + price if you need one row per physical product.

FAQ

Do I need an Americanas.com.br account or API key? No. The Actor calls the same public VTEX Catalog API the site's own search box uses.

Can I filter out out-of-stock products? Yes, set onlyAvailable: true.

Does the price include Pix discount? price is the regular price; pixPrice is the separate, usually lower price when paying via Pix, when the seller offers it.

Why did my search for "notebook" return desks instead of laptops? Because Americanas.com.br's own search matched the keyword in furniture titles too. Use a more specific term like "notebook dell" or "notebook samsung".

How fast is a run? A 5-product run typically finishes in 2 to 3 seconds since it is a direct API call, not a browser page load.

Can I target a specific category instead of a keyword? Yes, use searchUrl with a category URL from Americanas.com.br instead of a free-text searchTerm.

Does this work for sponsored/ad listings too? It returns whatever products the VTEX Catalog API itself returns for the search, which is the same ranked list a shopper sees; it does not separately flag sponsored placements.

Can I run this on a schedule to track price history? Yes, schedule the Actor on Apify and append each run's price/pixPrice/discountPct by productId to build a price-history table over time.
