DxOMark Camera, Lens & Sensor Score Scraper

Extract objective lab-bench scores for cameras, lenses, and sensors from DxOMark — the world's leading independent image quality measurement authority since 2008.

What this actor does

This actor scrapes scored products from DxOMark, discovering them via the site's sitemap (3,500+ products). For each product it fetches:

• The test/review page to get the overall DxOMark score, protocol type, and review date
• The product page to get the brand and full set of sub-scores

Camera sensors — sub-scores extracted:

• Portrait (Color Depth, in bits)
• Landscape (Dynamic Range, in EV)
• Sports (Low-Light ISO)

Lenses — sub-scores extracted:

• Sharpness (P-Mpix)
• Transmission (TStop)
• Distortion (%)
• Vignetting (EV)
• Chromatic Aberration (µm)
• Tested-on camera body

Input configuration

Parameter	Type	Required	Description
maxItems	integer	Yes	Maximum number of products to scrape
startUrls	array	No	Specific DxOMark test/review page URLs to scrape. Leave empty to discover all products via sitemap.

Scrape specific products

To scrape specific products, provide their DxOMark test/review page URLs:

{
  "maxItems": 10,
  "startUrls": [
    { "url": "https://www.dxomark.com/sony-a9-iii-sensor-test/" },
    { "url": "https://www.dxomark.com/sigma-90mm-f2-8-dg-dn-for-sony-lens-test/" }
  ]
}

Discover and scrape all products (sitemap crawl)

Leave startUrls empty to walk the DxOMark sitemap and discover all scored products:

{
  "maxItems": 500
}

Use cases

• Gear recommendation tools — build recommendation engines using objective sensor scores
• Affiliate content sites — programmatically enrich product pages with lab-measured scores
• Price-intelligence platforms — correlate DxOMark scores with market pricing
• ML training datasets — build computer vision and image quality models with ground-truth measurements
• Camera comparison apps — power comparison tools with the same data DxOMark uses

Notes

• No proxy required — DxOMark serves plain HTML with no anti-bot challenges
• launch_price_usd and rank_in_category are loaded via JavaScript on the product page and are not available in the static HTML; both fields output null
• Smartphone camera tests are filtered out; only camera sensors (-sensor-test/) and lenses (-lens-test/, -lens-review/) are included
• The sub_scores field is a JSON-encoded string; parse it with JSON.parse() in your downstream code
