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.

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

Supported URL types

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.
