Biltema Scraper

What does Biltema Scraper do?

Biltema Scraper reads any Biltema.se leaf category page and returns, for each product, the article number, name, current price in SEK, previous price when discounted, a discount flag, stock status and quantity, whether it's a new product, and an image URL. Give it one or more category URLs and it returns the products in that category up to the limit you set.

Why use Biltema Scraper?

• Covers Biltema, a major Nordic automotive, tools and hardware chain not covered by most product-data tools.
• Returns both current and previous price, with a ready-made discount flag.
• Stock quantity included per product, not just an in-stock flag.
• Works on any leaf category URL across Biltema's full catalog.
• No account or API key.

What makes this different

Most hardware/automotive scrapers focus on US/UK chains. This Actor reads Biltema's own category listing API directly, returning clean structured pricing and stock data for the Swedish market specifically.

Who can use the Biltema Scraper and how?

• Price trackers: Monitor Biltema prices and discounts across categories over time.
• DIY buyers and contractors: Compare tool and hardware prices before a purchase.
• Market researchers: Study pricing patterns in the Swedish automotive and hardware market.
• Deal and comparison sites: Source current Biltema pricing for a Swedish audience.

How it works

1. Your input — add one or more Biltema.se leaf category URLs, plus a max results count
2. The Actor collects it — the Actor resolves each category's internal ID and calls Biltema's own listing API
3. Your output — you get one row per product, with price, discount and stock status

What data can you extract?

The dataset has 11 fields per row:

Tips for Best Results

• Make sure the category URL is a leaf category (one that lists actual products) rather than a top-level department page.
• Re-run on a schedule and compare priceSek over time to catch price changes.
• Default is 5 results for a fast test. Set the max to 0 to return everything available.

Known Limitations

• Only category listing pages are supported, not free-text search.
• Technical specs and store-pickup availability are on the product page itself and are not included in this listing-level data.

Integrations

Run it from the Apify API, on a schedule, or from a webhook. Send results straight to Google Sheets, Make, Zapier, Slack or your own database with Apify's built-in integrations.

Export Formats

Download the dataset as JSON, CSV, Excel, XML, HTML table or RSS from the Output tab or the API.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does it need a Biltema account?

No. The Actor reads Biltema's public category listing API and needs no account or key.

Does this work for car parts too?

Yes - any Biltema.se leaf category URL works, including automotive parts, not only tools.

What's a leaf category URL?

The deepest-level category page that actually lists products, e.g. /verktyg/handverktyg/hammare/ rather than the top-level /verktyg/ department page.

Do I need an account or login?

No. The Actor reads public data and needs no account or key.

Am I charged for failed runs or empty results?

You are only charged for results that are actually written to the dataset.

Can I run it on a schedule?

Yes. Create a Task with your input and add a schedule in Apify Console. With monitor mode on, each scheduled run returns only what changed since the previous one.
