idealo Scraper — Prices, Shop Offers & Specs, 6 Countries

Turn any idealo category page, product page or keyword into clean rows: lowest price, number of offers, cheapest shop and its shipping, specs, test rating, review count and bestseller rank for every product, plus, if you want it, each shop's offer with item price, total price including shipping and delivery estimate. Works on idealo.de, idealo.at, idealo.co.uk, idealo.fr, idealo.it and idealo.es. Pure HTTP, no browser.

Input	Row(s) emitted
Category URL (/preisvergleich/ProductCategory/…, /cat/…)	one row per product, 36 per page, paginated
Product URL (/OffersOfProduct/…, /compare/…, /prix/…, /confronta-prezzi/…, /precios/…)	one full product row: brand, GTIN/EAN, price range, rating, variants and shop offers
Search query (laptop, waschmaschine, iphone 16)	one row per product from the first 5 matching categories, or from the matching products when the term names a product

Why Use This Scraper?

• Six country sites, one input. Germany, Austria, the UK, France, Italy and Spain. Paste URLs from several sites in one run; each URL's domain decides the site and currency.
• Structured data, not screen scraping. Product rows come from the JSON idealo embeds in its own pages, so prices are numbers and specs arrive as a clean list.
• The cheapest shop on every row. Lowest price, shop name, shop id and shipping costs come with each product without any extra request.
• Per-shop offers on demand. Turn on Fetch shop offers to add each shop's item price, total price including shipping, delivery estimate, payment methods and position.
• Bestseller and test data. idealo's bestseller rank, test rating, user review count and energy efficiency class are included where idealo shows them.
• Keyword search. Type a keyword and the actor picks the matching idealo categories for you.

Overview

Built for price monitoring tools, e-commerce and marketplace teams, brand managers and retail analysts who need public idealo price comparison data without an official API.

The dataset has one row per product. Category and search rows carry the product summary idealo shows in its listings. Rows from product URLs, and every row when Fetch shop offers is on, also carry the product page's data (brand, GTIN/EAN, highest price, rating and every variant with its own GTIN) and an offers array with up to 20 shop offers in idealo's default order (cheapest total first). Apify's CSV and Excel exports flatten nested values into columns.

idealo protects its site with Akamai bot protection that refuses plain datacenter and residential proxies. The actor fetches pages through a scraping API that solves the challenge on its side, with Apify's Unblocker proxy as a switchable alternative. You do not need to set up a proxy.

Use Cases

• Price monitoring: track the lowest price and offer count for a category or a list of products on a schedule.
• Competitor and shop research: see which shops win the cheapest spot, at what total price and with what delivery time.
• Assortment mapping: pull every product in a category with specs, ratings and bestseller rank.
• Market entry analysis: compare the same products across six European markets.
• Repricing input: feed per-shop item and total prices into your own pricing rules.

How It Works

1. You give it idealo URLs or a keyword. A keyword is matched to idealo categories through idealo's own search suggestions, and the first 5 categories are used.
2. Category pages are read page by page (36 products each), following idealo's own next-page links until Max results, Max pages per URL or the last page. Products seen in more than one category are kept once.
3. With Fetch shop offers on, each product's page is fetched (one extra request per product) for its offers, brand, GTIN/EAN and variants. Product URLs always get this.
4. Rows land in the dataset. Export as JSON, CSV, Excel or through the API.

FAQ

Which idealo sites are supported?

idealo.de, idealo.at, idealo.co.uk, idealo.fr, idealo.it and idealo.es.

Can I mix sites in one run?

Yes. Each pasted URL uses its own domain's site and currency. The Country site field only applies to Search query.

How many offers does each product get?

Up to 20, the first page of idealo's offer list in its default order (cheapest total first). offerCount on the product row tells you how many idealo lists in total.

Why is price on an offer sometimes lower than totalPrice?

price is the shop's item price; totalPrice adds shipping, which is what idealo displays in the offer list.

Why is an offer's price empty while totalPrice is set?

A few shops do not publish a separate item price in idealo's offer data. The total including shipping is still returned.

Why is testRating or energyEfficiencyClass empty?

idealo only shows them for products that have test results or an energy label.

How does Search query choose what to scrape?

It asks idealo's own search suggestions for the keyword. A general term (laptop) matches categories, and the first 5 are scraped. A product term (iphone 16) often matches only products, and then those products are scraped as full product rows. For full control, paste category or product URLs instead.

Do I get EAN / GTIN barcodes?

Yes, from product pages: product URLs always, and every product when Fetch shop offers is on. A single-variant product has gtin; a product with variants lists each variant's GTIN in variants[]. EAN lookup as an input (barcode in, product out) is not supported.

Do I need a proxy?

No. The default fetch mode handles idealo's bot protection without proxy setup, and any page it cannot load is retried through Apify Unblocker automatically. If a run still fails to reach idealo, it ends as failed with the reason, instead of returning an empty dataset.

Is anything different on the free Apify plan?

Yes. On the free plan the first 3 rows of a run are complete. Later rows hide the shop offers, the cheapest shop's id and its redirect link, show only the first 3 characters of the shop name, and carry a freePlanNote field saying so. Prices, offer counts, specs and ratings stay visible. Any paid Apify plan returns every field in full.

What does the actor not scrape?

Full technical spec sheets, user review texts, price history charts, and anything behind an idealo login.

🤖 For AI Agents & LLM Apps

Compact reference for AI agents calling this actor via the Apify MCP server or the Apify API (actor: memo23/idealo-scraper).

Purpose: idealo price comparison data from idealo.de, .at, .co.uk, .fr, .it and .es: products with lowest price, offer count, cheapest shop, specs and ratings, and optionally every shop's offer.

Minimal input:

{ "searchQuery": "iphone", "country": "DE", "maxItems": 20 }

Output: one dataset row per product. Product: productId, title, categoryId, url, price, formattedPrice, currency, offerCount, usedOnly, shopName, shopId, shippingCosts, imageUrl, subheading, characteristics, testRating, userReviewCount, isBestseller, bestsellerRank, energyEfficiencyClass, leadoutUrl, scrapedAt. With fetchOffers: true, or for product URLs: brand, gtin, highPrice, rating, variants[] (productId, title, gtin, price, highPrice, offerCount, url) and offers[] with shopName, shopId, offerKey, productName, price, totalPrice, formattedTotalPrice, deliveryTime, paymentMethods, offerPosition, leadoutType. Product-URL rows carry productId, title, brand, gtin, url, price, highPrice, currency, offerCount, rating, userReviewCount, imageUrl, variants, offers, scrapedAt.

Behaviors an agent should know:

• Always set maxItems; it caps rows across the run. Category pages hold 36 products each.
• startUrls take priority; searchQuery is ignored when URLs are given. country applies only to searchQuery.
• fetchOffers adds one request per product, so runs take noticeably longer; offers are capped at 20 per product.
• Prices are numbers; currency is EUR, or GBP on idealo.co.uk.
• A run with no matches writes one row with noResults: true and a message.
• On the free Apify plan, rows after the first 3 hide offers, shopId and leadoutUrl, truncate shopName and add freePlanNote. Paid plans get full rows.
• Billing is per product row, plus one offers charge per product whose offer list comes back, plus the actor start. See the Pricing tab for amounts.
