Bol.com Product Scraper

Scrape product data from bol.com, the largest e-commerce platform in the Netherlands and Belgium (13.7M customers, 41M+ products).

What it does

This scraper extracts structured product data from bol.com search results and individual product pages using a headless browser (Playwright) to handle bol.com's bot protection.

Data extracted

• Product title, description, and URL
• Price (euros and formatted display)
• Star rating and review count
• Stock/availability status
• Seller/brand name
• EAN/barcode
• Product images
• Detailed specifications (when include_specs is enabled)

Proxy requirements

Bol.com blocks non-Dutch IP addresses. You must use a residential proxy with country set to NL (Netherlands) for this scraper to work. The default configuration uses Apify's residential proxy with NL targeting.

How to use

Search by keyword

Enter search terms and the scraper will find products matching your query:

{
    "search_queries": ["wireless headphones", "python book"],
    "max_products_per_query": 50,
    "max_pages": 3,
    "proxy_config": {
        "useApifyProxy": true,
        "apifyProxyGroups": ["RESIDENTIAL"],
        "apifyProxyCountry": "NL"
    }
}

Scrape specific products

Provide direct product URLs for detailed data:

{
    "product_urls": [
        { "url": "https://www.bol.com/nl/nl/p/fluent-python/9300000009223498/" }
    ],
    "include_specs": true
}

Combine both

You can mix search queries and direct URLs in a single run.
