Onbuy Listings Scraper

🛒 OnBuy Listings Scraper

Extract product listings from OnBuy, the UK's fast-growing online marketplace with millions of products. The OnBuy Listings Scraper turns OnBuy product pages into clean, structured JSON — prices, brands, full category paths, availability, GTIN/SKU codes, descriptions and images — ready for price monitoring, market research, and competitor analysis.

Run it on the Apify platform to get API access, scheduling, integrations (Google Sheets, Make, Zapier, webhooks), automatic retries, and proxy rotation — no servers to manage.

💰 How much does it cost to scrape OnBuy?

This Actor uses a simple pay-per-result model: you pay $0.005 per product scraped (about $5 per 1,000 products). There are no subscription fees and no charge for delisted products that get skipped — you only pay for products that are actually returned. The price already covers proxy and platform costs, so there is nothing extra to pay.

The Apify Free plan includes monthly usage credits, so you can test the Actor and scrape your first products at no extra cost.

💡 Tips

• Start with a small Maximum products value to preview the data shape, then scale up.
• Leave Product URLs empty to collect a diverse cross-category sample of the marketplace.
• Schedule the Actor (daily/weekly) to track price and availability changes over time.
• Use the dataset's category field to filter products into the segments you care about after scraping.

❓ FAQ

Is scraping OnBuy legal? This Actor collects only publicly available product information. As with any scraping, you are responsible for how you use the data and for complying with OnBuy's Terms of Service and applicable laws (including data-protection rules). It does not collect personal data.

Why did I get fewer products than expected on a tiny limit? Marketplace catalogues contain some delisted items. The Actor skips those automatically (you are never charged for them) and keeps going until your target is met.

Can I scrape specific categories or sellers? Provide the relevant OnBuy product URLs via Product URLs, or scrape broadly and filter by the category field in the output.
