Epey Scraper — Turkey Prices & Spec Comparison

Epey Scraper — Turkey Prices & Spec Comparison

Scrape Epey.com's spec-comparison listings — phones, TVs, laptops, smartwatches and other electronics categories on the Turkish price-comparison site. For every product in a category page you get its name, brand, price in Turkish lira, how many sites/offers list it, a technical score, and the full spec table for that category (screen size, RAM, battery, panel type, etc. — whatever columns the category exposes).

What it scrapes

Epey.com renders each category (e.g. akilli-telefonlar for smartphones) as a server-rendered comparison table: one header row defining the spec columns for that category, and one row per product. The actor reads the header first, so the same parser adapts automatically to whatever spec columns a category shows — phones surface screen/storage/RAM/battery, TVs surface size/panel, and so on, with no per-category code changes needed. Pages are paginated (31 products per page) and the actor walks pages until it hits maxItems, runs out of products, or reaches an unknown-category soft-404.

Input

• Category slug (category, text) — the Epey category from the URL path, e.g. akilli-telefonlar (smartphones), televizyon (TVs), dizustu-bilgisayar (laptops), akilli-saat (smartwatches). Defaults to akilli-telefonlar.
• Max products (maxItems, number) — cap on how many products to return across all pages. Set to 0 for everything available. Default 31 (one page). You're charged per product returned, so this is your budget control.
• Proxy configuration (proxyConfiguration) — Apify Proxy, prefilled to RESIDENTIAL group with country TR. No external proxy account or key needed from you; it's wired in and ready out of the box.

Output fields

One dataset record per product:

• product_id, name, brand (inferred from the product name), variant
• price, currency (parsed from Turkish-format price text, e.g. "119.999,00 TL" → 119999.0 / "TL"), num_sites, num_offers (how many retailers/listings the price is aggregated from)
• score — Epey's technical comparison score for the product
• specs — a dynamic object of category-specific spec labels → values (e.g. "Ekran Boyutu", "Bellek (RAM)" for phones), taken straight from that category's own header row
• url, image_url
• category, page_number, scraped_at — provenance fields

Pricing

Pay-per-result (PPE) — billed per product record returned (event: product-item). Only successfully pushed products are charged; a blocked or empty run charges nothing. See the Store pricing tab for the current per-result rate.

Notes

The actor fetches pages through Apify's Residential proxy (Turkey exit) with a Chrome-impersonating HTTP client, which is what makes reading Epey's server-rendered tables reliable — no browser, no CAPTCHA-solving needed for this target. If a page comes back too small or with a blocking status code, the actor rotates its proxy session and retries rather than pushing partial or garbage data. Unknown category slugs are detected as Epey's own soft-404 page and reported as a clean "not found," not a silent empty result.
