Torob Scraper — Iran Price Comparison & Product Prices

Torob.com in rows: product name, price in toman as a real number, the shop quoting it, stock condition, image and product URL — Iran's price comparison index in bulk.

What does the Torob Scraper do?

This Actor collects products from Torob, the price comparison engine Iranians use before buying anything online. Torob indexes the same product across hundreds of Iranian shops and reports who is selling it and for how much, and this Actor exports that with the price as a sortable number and the shop named on every row.

That pairing — product plus shop plus price — is what makes the data worth having. A plain product export tells you what exists; this tells you what it costs and who is quoting it, which is the input a price monitor or a market study actually runs on.

Prices come back in Persian-Indic numerals as display text and as a number. Both are kept, so you can compute with one and verify against the site with the other.

Who is it for?

• Price monitoring teams tracking Iranian retail prices across shops.
• Brands and distributors checking what their products sell for and where.
• Market researchers studying Iranian e-commerce pricing and assortment.
• Economists and journalists using retail prices as an inflation signal.
• Sourcing and trade analysts mapping product availability in Iran.
• Comparison and catalogue platforms seeding Iranian product data.

Use cases

• Track a product category's prices across Iranian shops over time.
• Find the cheapest shop for a given product.
• Measure price dispersion for the same item across retailers.
• Build a retail price index from real listings.
• Separate new from used supply using the condition column.
• Monitor how fast prices move in a high-inflation market.
• Assemble a product catalogue with images and links.

Why use this Torob Scraper?

• The shop is on every row, not just the product — which is the column that makes price data actionable.
• Prices as numbers, transliterated from Persian numerals, with the original text kept.
• No API key, no account — the same search endpoint the site itself calls.
• English and Persian search terms both work, so you do not need Persian input to get started.
• Iran-pinned residential proxying, because Torob answers requests from inside the country.
• Nine columns with no filler. A field Torob declares but never fills was removed rather than shipped empty.

Tips for best results

• Leave the proxy pinned to Iran. Torob's search API does not answer from outside the country.
• Persian terms return more results than English ones, though both work.
• Use price for calculations and priceText for verification.
• stockStatus fills on roughly half the rows — Torob only notes a condition where the shop stated one.
• Compare shopText across rows for the same product to see the real price spread.

FAQ

Do I need a Torob account or API key?

No. The search endpoint this Actor calls is the public one the website uses.

How many products can one run return?

Popular searches page into the thousands. A narrow term naturally exhausts sooner.

Can I search in English?

Yes. Many Torob products carry Latin brand and model names, though Persian terms return more.

Why is secondaryName sometimes empty?

Torob only carries a second name where the product has one — usually the Latin-script version of a Persian title.

Why is stockStatus sometimes empty?

Because the shop did not state a condition. The Actor reports what was published rather than assuming "new".

Is the price the cheapest offer?

It is the price Torob shows for that product in the search results, together with the shop quoting it.

Can I export to CSV or Excel?

Yes — JSON, CSV, Excel, XML and RSS.

How fresh is the data?

Every run queries Torob live.

Why did my run return zero products?

Usually a search term with no matches. Try it on torob.com first to confirm it returns results.

Is it legal to scrape Torob?

This Actor reads publicly available price comparison data, which is generally lawful to collect. You remain responsible for how you use it — check Torob's terms, respect shop and manufacturer intellectual property in images, and do not republish the index wholesale.
