Collect product names, prices in rand and stock status from supplied South African shopping pages. Get a table for competitor price research, spreadsheet analysis or scheduled snapshots.
Quick start
- Paste one or more product page URLs.
- Keep Only South African rand prices enabled to retain ZAR offers.
- Run the Actor and export the Product prices dataset as CSV, JSON or Excel.
The included example is a public Rooibos Products detail page. A local test on 5 November 2026 returned one ZAR product offer. This is limited evidence of compatibility, not a guarantee of complete coverage of that store.
Input
- startUrls: required public page URLs.
- maxPages: maximum fetched pages, default 50.
- followLinks: off by default; enable to discover pages on seed origins. This follows general site links and may use the page limit before reaching all products.
- zarOnly: default true. Keep offers explicitly marked ZAR.
- proxyConfiguration: optional Apify proxy settings; proxies can consume additional credits.
Output
One row per distinct product offer: name, price, lowPrice/highPrice for aggregate offers, currency, availability, SKU, productUrl, sourceUrl and collectedAt. Missing values stay null. Prices are advertised values, not guaranteed checkout totals. Currency does not prove geographic origin; supply South African source URLs.
Coverage
Reads Product JSON-LD embedded in the returned HTML. No browser rendering, login or anti-bot bypass. A blocked page or a page without supported structured data cannot be extracted. No claim of support for Takealot, Checkers or every South African retailer.
Rows are deduplicated within a run. SUMMARY records result/failure counts; failed pages are logged in FAILURE records. Zero results fails the run with guidance instead of pretending success. Mixed success can still have failed pages; inspect SUMMARY.
Automation
After deployment, save an input as an Apify task and schedule repeated runs. Each run produces a snapshot; this Actor does not calculate changes between runs or send alerts.
Local development
Node.js 22+, npm ci, then npm start. Save input in storage/key_value_stores/default/INPUT.json.
