Jumia Scraper

Jumia Scraper extracts data from any Jumia product, catalog or category pages - parses and converts the data to structured formats: HTML table, JSON, CSV, Excel and XML.

By providing a search term (keyword) and/or category URL, you can extract prices, product descriptions, images, stock availability, brand, category, sku, etc.

Why scrape Jumia products?

The extracted data can be useful in the following ways:

• Optimize product prices
• Monitor practices employed by your competitors
• Understand market dynamics to boost productivity
• Harness the power of prevailing trends, etc.

Cost of usage

Apify generously offers you $5 free usage credits monthly. From our tests, you can scrape upto 400,000 results. This should be good enough for most of your use cases but you can upgrade to a higher plan to extract even more data.

Sample input parameter

Below is a sample of the input

{
  "searchTerms": ["microwave"],
  "maxCrawledProducts": 2000,
  "country": "nigeria",
  "proxyConfig": {
    "useApifyProxy": false
  },
  "maxConcurrency": 1,
  "handlePageTimeoutSecs": 30000,
  "maxRequestRetries": 3,
  "startUrls": [

• searchTerms: An array of the keywords you want to scrape.
• maxCrawledProducts: this specifies the maximum number or results you want to extract for a given run.
• country: Jumia has presence in a number of countries. This field allows you to select any of those supported countries.
• proxyConfig: This field provides you with the option to use a proxy for the run or not. You can set the value to {"useApifyProxy": true} if you are getting blocked. By default, the scraper will use Apify's datacenter proxies but you can provide one instead, manually.
• maxConcurrency: This specifies the number of concurrent operations. To get your results quickly, set this to a higher number.

Limitation and solution

Category and Catalog pages can return a maximum of 2,000 results (this is a hard limit by Jumia). To extract more data, you can apply several filters e.g by price, brand, etc.

Pagination

The scraper handles category and catalog pages pagination automatically, in a bid to extract as much data as possible. You can then use the maxCrawledProducts parameter to set the maximum number of the results to be obtained.
