🔥 Slickdeals Scraper

Extract deals from Slickdeals, the biggest deal-sharing community in the US. Search by words or browse all deals, filter by category, store, brand, forum, price, discount, date, thumbs up, comments and views, and get each deal's price, list price, savings, discount %, store, thumbs up, views, comments and Frontpage, Popular and Fire badges. Turn on Deal details to also get exact prices to the cent, the coupon code, when the offer ends, the store website, the full description, editor notes, every category, the brand, all images, the poster's reputation and the comments (with the comment each one replies to). Goes past Slickdeals' 1,000-result cap, and can run on a schedule to send you only new deals.

✨ What it does

• Search or browse. Type search words, or leave them empty to get every deal, newest first. Several searches in one run.
• Or paste links. Deal links (slickdeals.net/f/...), search links (with the filters you picked on the site) or forum links. Filters are ignored with links.
• Filters: 293 categories and subcategories, stores and brands by name, forums (Hot Deals, Freebies, Free Digital Goods, Marketplace, Grocery, Travel, Deal Talk, Contests), minimum and maximum price, minimum discount, posted within (24 hours to 3 years), Frontpage, Popular or Fire deals only, skip expired deals, minimum thumbs up, minimum comments and minimum views.
• 8 sort orders: newest, best match, most thumbs up, latest comment, biggest discount, price low to high, price high to low, oldest.
• Past the 1,000 cap. Slickdeals shows at most 1,000 deals per search. This Actor reads the search again by category and in other orders, without duplicates, to collect more.
• Deal details add-on: exact prices, coupon code, offer end date, store website and deal link, description, editor notes, categories, brand, images, poster stats and up to 500 comments per deal.
• Monitoring: run it on a schedule with Only new deals and each run saves only deals you haven't received yet.

🏆 Why this scraper

• Every filter Slickdeals has, and more. Store, brand, price, discount and date filters on top of the categories, forums and sorts, plus minimum comments and views.
• Fast. 1,000 deals in about 7 seconds. 1,000 deals with full details in about 40 seconds. 3,000 deals in about 25 seconds.
• Exact prices. Slickdeals' deal cards round prices ("$300" for $299.99). With Deal details on, prices come to the cent.
• Comments you can analyse. Each comment comes with its author, level, likes, helpful votes, date, and the comment it quotes split out on its own.
• Clean, typed data. Prices and savings as numbers, dates in ISO format, yes/no fields as true/false.
• No proxy needed. Nothing extra to set up or pay for.

⚙️ How the input is organised

Section	What it's for
Maximum results	Always first, caps the whole run. Empty means no limit.
What to scrape	Search words (or none for all deals) and sort order.
Filters	Deal type, thumbs up, categories, stores, brands, forums, price, discount, date, expired, comments, views.
Add-ons	Deal details and comments per deal.
Monitoring	Only new deals, with a monitor name per schedule.
Links	Slickdeals deal, search or forum links instead of the fields above. Filters are ignored with links.

💰 Pricing

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

Your Apify plan	Price per deal
Free	$0.015
Bronze	$0.013
Silver	$0.012
Gold / Platinum / Diamond	$0.011

Approximate total cost:

Deals collected	Free	Bronze	Silver	Gold+
100	$1.50	$1.30	$1.20	$1.10
1,000	$15.00	$13.00	$12.00	$11.00
10,000	$150.00	$130.00	$120.00	$110.00

Deal details add-on: when Deal details is on, each deal saved with its details adds one more charge, comments included, however many you ask for:

Your Apify plan	Deal details, per deal
Free	$0.006
Bronze	$0.005
Silver	$0.0045
Gold / Platinum / Diamond	$0.004

So 1,000 deals with details cost $15 on Gold ($11 + $4). Deals whose details didn't load pay only the base price. No proxy costs. New Apify accounts start with $5 in free credit. On the Free plan a run saves up to 10 deals.

🚀 Run it

1. Create a free Apify account with $5 in credit.
2. Open the Slickdeals Scraper.
3. Type search words (or keep the prefilled one), add filters, 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 to get new deals every hour.

🤖 Use with AI agents (MCP)

Give an AI agent live access to Slickdeals deals through the Model Context Protocol:

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

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

🔧 Troubleshooting

A store or brand was skipped. Use the name as Slickdeals writes it ("Costco Wholesale", "Best Buy"). The log says which names Slickdeals doesn't know.

My filters did nothing. Filters are ignored with links. Remove the links, or put the filters in the Slickdeals search link itself.

Some deals have no price. Deals like "40% off" or "$50 off $500" have no single price. priceText keeps what the deal card shows. A price filter leaves them out.

Prices differ by a few cents from the deal card. Slickdeals' cards round prices. Turn on Deal details to get them to the cent.

The run stopped with "Slickdeals kept refusing this Apify server's IP address". Slickdeals sometimes blocks one Apify server. The Actor restarts on another server by itself; if it still fails, run it again.

Some rows have an error. That deal's page didn't load. The base fields are complete and the details are empty.

❓ FAQ

Question	Answer
Do I need a Slickdeals account?	No. Only public data is read.
Does it need a proxy?	No.
Can I get more than 1,000 deals?	Yes. Leave the maximum empty or set it high; the Actor reads the search by category and in other orders, without duplicates.
Can I get only new deals every hour?	Yes. Turn on Only new deals, give the schedule a monitor name, and schedule the run.
Where is the store's own product link?	dealLinkUrl is Slickdeals' "See Deal" link, which leads to the store, and merchantDomain is the store's website.
Are coupon codes always found?	When the deal text mentions a code, yes. Many deals have no code.
