Elektra Mexico Scraper & API

Extract Elektra Mexico products, MXN prices and marketplace sellers for recurring retail price monitoring. Compare phones, appliances, computers, furniture and other public catalog listings by brand, SKU and EAN. Export JSON, CSV or Excel through Apify.

Independent tool by Latin America Data. Not affiliated with or endorsed by Elektra.

Quick start

{"term":"refrigerador","maxItems":3,"maxRuntimeSecs":90}

For searches without a product or page cap:

{"searchTerms":["refrigerador","lavadora"],"maxRuntimeSecs":600}

Automatic access recovery requires no customer proxy settings. There is no default product/page cap. Searches stop when the source ends, its pagination boundary is reached, or the time/spending budget expires. Earlier results are preserved.

Commercial uses

• Monitor competitor prices, advertised discounts and assortment changes.
• Compare marketplace seller offers for the same SKU.
• Match products across retailers using EAN, brand and SKU where available.
• Build your own history through scheduled exports; historical prices are not supplied.

Search relevance follows Elektra's public catalog search. Multiple words can broaden matching; this is not exact-phrase filtering. Accessories and related products may be included.

Output and price interpretation

One row per unique parent product_id per run, with title, brand, selected SKU/EAN, MXN price, list price, discount percentage, availability, selected seller, categories, description, specifications, images, original URL, search term, page, rank and timestamp.

offers retains each SKU/seller price and availability. variants retains SKU names, EANs, images and source unit information. The headline price selects an available source-default seller first, then another available offer, then a priced unavailable offer, in source order. It is not necessarily the lowest price. No additional product fee is charged for nested offers or variants.

When all offers lack a published price and are unavailable, price is null and price_status is unavailable, never a fabricated zero-price offer. Such genuine catalog products are still delivered and charged. Source availability is for the public sales channel, not guaranteed stock or delivery to a postal code. No exact stock quantity is claimed. Financing installments are not the cash price and are not substituted for it. Shipping, conditional coupons and personalized prices are excluded.

Pricing

USD 0.004 per delivered unique product, plus customer-paid Apify usage including compute, storage and automatic proxies when needed. 1,000 products cost USD 4.00 in product fees. Empty searches and diagnostics have no product fee; platform usage still applies. Set an Apify spending limit to control costs.

Completeness and errors

Products are uploaded page by page. RUN_SUMMARY and DIAGNOSTICS are free records:

• success: genuine rows; inspect complete and stop_reason for limits.
• no_results: the source explicitly reports zero matching rows.
• partial: earlier rows preserved after an error or time/spending/source limit.
• blocked or failed: no valid rows obtained; the run fails visibly.

The actor uses Elektra's public VTEX JSON catalog, 50 products per page, sales channel 1. Range/count headers are verified. This endpoint limits starting offsets to 2,500. Larger searches stop explicitly with source_pagination_limit rather than pretending the whole catalog was retrieved; use more specific terms. Changing catalogs can also cause incomplete pages, which are reported rather than silently accepted.

The source can repeat products across pages. Duplicates are removed before billing and counted in the run summary, so the number delivered can be lower than the source's advertised total. An explicit successful empty JSON array is valid even when the source cache omits its count header. Completion means the returned search pages were exhausted, not guaranteed coverage of every product sold by Elektra.

See VTEX's public search documentation for the underlying pagination contract. No login or private customer information is used. Source availability and unchanged responses cannot be guaranteed.

API and scheduled exports

Use Apify's API or schedules for repeated price and seller comparisons. Keep the source URLs and timestamps for auditing. Respect applicable source terms and rules.
