🛒 Buscapé & Zoom Price Scraper

Extract product prices from Buscapé and Zoom, Brazil's two biggest price comparison sites. For every product you get the lowest price, the cheapest store, how many stores sell it, installments and cashback, plus every store's offer (Magazine Luiza, Amazon, KaBuM!, Casas Bahia, Fast Shop and hundreds more) with price, installments, interest-free flag, stock and a link. Turn on details for the last 40 days of prices, the full spec sheet, photos and the editors' pros and cons. About 1,000 products in under 15 seconds, with no browser and no proxy.

🎯 Who uses it?

🏪 Retailers and e-commerce teams

Watch what every competitor charges for the products you sell, how many installments they give and whether they offer them interest-free.

🏭 Brands and manufacturers

Check how your products are priced across Brazilian stores, spot sellers going under your suggested price and track marketplace sellers.

📈 Market and pricing analysts

Build price indexes by category, follow how prices move over 40 days, and compare price levels between stores.

🛍️ Deal hunters and affiliate sites

Find products at their lowest price in 40 days, or well below their recent average, and publish them with the store link.

✨ What it does

• Search by one or more product names, or paste links: a search, a category (like /celular) or a single product page.
• Both sites: Buscapé (buscape.com.br) and Zoom (zoom.com.br).
• Every store's offer for each product, cheapest first, from the same source the product page uses for "ver mais ofertas".
• Price history (optional): 40 days of daily lowest prices, with the minimum, maximum, average, how today's price compares (priceVsAverage40d) and isLowestPrice40d.
• Specs, photos and review (optional): the full spec sheet as clean name and value pairs, every photo, and the editors' summary, pros and cons.
• Sort by relevance, lowest price or highest price. Optionally keep only products compared across stores.

🏆 Why this scraper

• The whole comparison in one row. Most scrapers stop at the search card (one price, one store). Here each product carries every store's offer, so you see the full price spread.
• Price history without waiting. You don't need to run it daily for weeks to see a trend: 40 days of prices come with the first run.
• Fast and light. About 1,000 products with all store offers in 12 seconds in our tests. No browser, no proxy.
• Clean numbers. Prices, installments and cashback are numbers in BRL, never text like "R$ 5.698,80".

⚙️ How the input is organised

Section	What it's for
Maximum products	Always first, caps the whole run. Empty means no limit.
Search	Site, search terms, pasted links, sort order, compared-only filter.
What to include	Store offers (on by default) and price history, specs and review (off by default).

💰 Pricing

Pay-per-event: a one-time $0.003 when the run starts, plus a price per product saved to your dataset. The price depends on your Apify plan tier:

Your Apify plan	Price per product
Free	$0.014
Bronze	$0.0125
Silver	$0.011
Gold / Platinum / Diamond	$0.01

Approximate total cost (includes the $0.003 start fee):

Products collected	Free	Bronze	Silver	Gold+
100	$1.40	$1.25	$1.10	$1.00
1,000	$14.00	$12.50	$11.00	$10.00
10,000	$140.00	$125.00	$110.00	$100.00

One product row carries every store's offer, so you pay once per product, not once per store. Offers and details cost nothing extra. New Apify accounts start with $5 in free credit. On the Free plan a run saves up to 10 products.

🚀 Run it

1. Create a free Apify account with $5 in credit.
2. Open the Buscapé & Zoom Price Scraper.
3. Type a product (or keep the prefilled one), or paste links, set Maximum products, then click Start.
4. Export the results as CSV, Excel, JSON, or XML from the Dataset tab.

Run it programmatically through the Apify API (run-sync-get-dataset-items) or the ApifyClient for JavaScript and Python, and schedule it with Apify's built-in Scheduler.

🤖 Use with AI agents (MCP)

Give an AI agent live access to Brazilian prices through the Model Context Protocol:

claude mcp add --transport http apify "https://mcp.apify.com?tools=normdata/buscape-price-scraper"

Then prompt it in plain language to run the scraper and read back the results.

🔧 Troubleshooting

The log says "Buscapé asked to slow down". Buscapé limits how fast one connection can load pages. The run pauses about 45 seconds and carries on by itself; nothing is lost. It mostly happens on big runs with price history and specs turned on, since each product page is one more request.

Fewer products than the site's counter. The sites stop paging at about 10,000 results, and the same product can appear twice in results (it's kept once). Split a big search into narrower terms or categories.

Some rows have no offers list or details. Rows of type offer are a single store's listing, so they have one offer and no price history or spec sheet. Turn on "Only products compared across stores" to skip them.

A row has an error field. That product's offers or details didn't load; the row keeps the search card data (price, store, link).

Search finds nothing. Search in Portuguese, the way shoppers type it ("geladeira", not "refrigerator").

❓ FAQ
