## Pricing

from $10.00 / 1,000 products

This Actor is paid per event. You are not charged for the Apify platform usage, but only a fixed price for specific events.
Since this Actor supports Apify Store discounts, the price gets lower the higher subscription plan you have.

## What's an Apify Actor?

An Actor is a serverless cloud program that runs on the Apify platform. It has two run modes.
In Batch mode, an Actor accepts a well-defined JSON input, performs an action which can take anything from a few seconds to a few hours,
and optionally produces a well-defined JSON output, datasets with results, or files in key-value store.
In Standby mode, an Actor provides a web server which can be used as a website, API, or an MCP server.

Apify vocabulary and the platform model are defined once, in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md.

## How to integrate an Actor?

If asked about integration, you help developers integrate Actors into their projects.
You adapt to their stack and deliver integrations that are safe, well-documented, and production-ready.

Do not guess an integration path. Every one of them is in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md: the Apify MCP server, Agent Skills with the Apify CLI, the JavaScript and Python clients, the REST API, and the account-free path for an agent with no human to sign in. It also carries the rule on stating cost before the first paid run.

For examples already wired to this Actor's own input schema, see the [API](#api) section below.

Each client library has reference documentation the quickstart does not restate: [JavaScript/TypeScript](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md) (`npm install apify-client`) and [Python](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md) (`pip install apify-client`).

## 🏷️ Hinnavaatlus Scraper - Estonia Price Comparison

Extract products and prices from **Hinnavaatlus.ee**, the Estonian price comparison site. Pick from the site's **537 categories** or type search terms, filter by **store, brand, price range and stock**, and get each product's **lowest price, last price change, number of offers, brand, model, SKU and GTIN (EAN)**. Turn on **Details** to add **every store offer** (store, price, price change, **monthly instalments**, live stock, delivery note, the store's own SKU, GTIN and category, and the shop link) with the **store's registration code, phone, e-mail, address, logo and rating**, plus the highest price, the cheapest store, specs, **authorized resellers with their contacts** and the date the product was added. It reads **every product of a category**, not only the first 5,000 the site shows, and can run on a schedule to send you **only new products**.

> 👉 **Try it now:** press **Start**. The ready-made input gives you 10 products in a few seconds.<br>
> 💰 **$0.013 per product** on the Free plan (10 products per run), from $0.012 on paid plans. [See pricing](#-pricing)

### ✨ Why this scraper?

> - **Every offer with the store behind it**<br>
>   Price, monthly instalments, stock, delivery note and shop link, next to the store's registration code, phone, e-mail and address.
>
> - **Live stock**<br>
>   With Details, stock comes from the product page, which is fresher than the site's search list.
>
> - **Every product, not the first 5,000**<br>
>   Automatic price-band splitting for big categories.
>
> - **Fast**<br>
>   About 1,000 products in 6 seconds without details and 36 seconds with details, with no proxy needed.
>
> - **Clean, typed data**<br>
>   Prices as numbers in euros, GTIN as text, stock as "in stock", "arriving soon" or "not in stock", dates as YYYY-MM-DD, tracking tags removed from every shop link.
>
> - **537 categories to pick from**<br>
>   (in Estonian: Mobiiltelefonid, Sülearvutid, Telerid...), or any **search terms** you type, like the site's search box, alone or inside each category.
>
> - **Apify platform**<br>
>   Schedule runs, get only new products, export to Excel or CSV, use the API, or connect Google Sheets, Zapier and Make.

### ❓ FAQ and troubleshooting

#### Is there a Hinnavaatlus API? Do I need an API key?

> Hinnavaatlus has no public data API for this. This Actor works as a Hinnavaatlus API alternative: it reads the public pages and gives you clean JSON, CSV or Excel, with no API key, no login and no code to maintain. You can also call it from your own code with the Apify API, or from an AI agent through MCP.

#### Why do I get only 10 products?

> On the Apify free plan each run saves up to 10 results, so you can try it before paying. Any paid plan removes the limit.

#### Is there a limit per search?

> The site shows at most 5,000 products per search. The scraper splits bigger categories by price, so you get all of them. When more than 5,000 products share one exact price, the log says so.

#### What is in the base price and what is in Details?

> The base row has the name, brand, model, categories, SKU, GTIN, lowest price, price change, offer count, stock, description, photos and flags. Details adds every store offer (with instalments, live stock and the store's own SKU and GTIN) with the store contacts, the highest price, the cheapest store, the store count, specs, authorized resellers and the date added.

#### Why are prices in a different order when I pick a sort?

> Searches over 5,000 products are read by price band, cheapest band first, with your sort inside each band.

#### Few or no results

> The site is in Estonian: try "kõrvaklapid" instead of "headphones", or pick a category from the list. The log shows how many products each search has.

#### A brand was skipped

> The log says when no product of that brand was found. Check the spelling as the site writes it (for example "Samsung", "Apple").

#### Is this an official Hinnavaatlus tool?

> No. It is independent and not affiliated with Hinnavaatlus. It reads only data Hinnavaatlus publishes on its public pages, at a moderate pace. Use the data in line with Hinnavaatlus's terms and the laws that apply to you.
