Bizrate Scraper

Bizrate (bizrate.com) is a US shopping comparison platform. This actor collects structured product listing data from Bizrate category pages.

Introduction

The Bizrate scraper starts from category URLs, paginates through listing pages, and extracts product data such as title, link, description, price, shipping, merchant, and image.

Use Cases

• Market research: Track pricing, merchants, and shipping patterns across Bizrate categories.
• Catalog monitoring: Detect listing changes for products over time.
• Lead generation: Build structured product datasets for outreach or enrichment workflows.
• Analytics pipelines: Feed BI dashboards and internal reporting systems.

Input

Provide the following fields:

• startUrls (array, required): Bizrate category URLs.
• maxItems (integer, optional): Maximum number of listing items to extract per start URL.
• proxyConfiguration (object, optional): Apify proxy settings.

Notes:

• The actor is designed for Bizrate listing/category URLs.
• Bizrate is a comparison website, so this actor only extracts data from listing cards. Product detail pages are redirected to external merchant websites and are not scraped by this actor.
• Pagination is handled automatically (for example index__start--40.html, index__start--80.html).
• Crawling stops per source URL when maxItems is reached.

Input Examples

1) Start URLs

{
  "startUrls": [
    {
      "url": "https://www.bizrate.com/motorcycle-apparel/"
    }
  ],
  "maxItems": 120,
  "proxyConfiguration": {
    "useApifyProxy": true
  }
}

Output

Each dataset item contains fields like:

{
  "title": "Z1R Ace/Ace Starbrite Helmet Top Inner Liner Pad Black MD",
  "link": "https://rd.bizrate.com/rd2?t=...",
  "description": "Z1R Ace and Ace Starbrite Helmet Liner...",
  "price": "$32.66",
  "shipping": "FREE shipping",
  "merchant": "Walmart",
  "image": "https://d7.cnnx.io/image/obj/..."
}

The scraper paginates listing results and stops when maxItems is reached per start URL or when no more result items are found.
