🔍 How it works

tienda-solar.es is a PrestaShop store protected by Cloudflare's managed challenge. That challenge is TLS-fingerprint based and is satisfied by TLS impersonation alone (a Chrome fingerprint via curl_cffi) — so this Actor needs no headless browser, no residential proxies and no CAPTCHA solver. Every product page ships clean schema.org/Product + BreadcrumbList JSON-LD, so the Actor:

1. Reads each language sitemap (/1_<lang>_0_sitemap.xml).
2. Keeps real product URLs (/<category>/<id>-<slug>), excluding manufacturer/CMS pages.
3. Fetches each page with Chrome TLS impersonation (8 in parallel).
4. Parses the JSON-LD into a normalized record, taking id_product from the URL (the page HTML also lists cross-sell product ids, which are not the product itself).

📊 Performance & cost

Metric	Value
Speed	~0.04 s per product page (8 concurrent)
Full Spanish catalog (~1,060)	~1 minute
All 6 languages (~6,360)	a few minutes
Memory	512 MB
Proxy	none required

A 10-product test run uses well under 0.01 compute units.

🔄 Integrations & scheduling

• Schedule daily/weekly runs from the Apify Console for automated price monitoring.
• Push results to Google Sheets, Supabase, a database, or a webhook via Apify integrations.
• Call the Actor and read the dataset through the Apify API from any stack.

Result views included: Overview, Pricing & stock, Media, and By category & brand.

⚠️ Limitations & notes

• Prices and availability reflect what the storefront publishes in JSON-LD and may differ from the final checkout price (taxes/shipping/login-based pricing are not computed).
• gtin is only present when the store publishes it (not all products).
• A few categories are generic buckets ("Misc Products", "Featured Products") where the store files products without a specific subcategory.
• Product counts shift as the store adds or removes items.

📜 Legal & responsible use

This Actor collects only publicly available catalog pages via the store's own sitemap and the structured data the store publishes for search engines; it does not log in, place orders, or access private data. You are responsible for using the data in compliance with the site's Terms of Service and applicable laws (including GDPR where relevant). Use reasonable rates and do not overload the source site.

❓ FAQ

Do I need a proxy? No. The site is reached with TLS impersonation from a single IP. Proxy is an optional advanced setting for very large jobs.

Why scrape multiple languages? Prices and product names are localized per market — multi-language runs capture true per-country pricing.

Can I get just one category or brand? Yes — use the Categories and Brands filters. They work together and across all selected languages.

What export formats are supported? JSON, CSV, Excel, JSONL, plus the Apify API and integrations.
