Actors are a software tools running on the Apify platform, for all kinds of web data extraction and automation use cases. 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. Actors are written with capital "A". ## 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. The best way to integrate Actors is as follows. In JavaScript/TypeScript projects, use official [JavaScript/TypeScript client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js.md): ```bash npm install apify-client ``` In Python projects, use official [Python client library](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python.md): ```bash pip install apify-client ``` In shell scripts, use [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md): ````bash # MacOS / Linux curl -fsSL https://apify.com/install-cli.sh | bash # Windows irm https://apify.com/install-cli.ps1 | iex ```bash In AI frameworks, you might use the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/platform/integrations/mcp.md). If your project is in a different language, use the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md). For usage examples, see the [API](#api) section below. For more details, see Apify documentation as [Markdown index](https://docs.apify.com/llms.txt) and [Markdown full-text](https://docs.apify.com/llms-full.txt). # README ## Geizhals Price Comparison Scraper Scrape product prices from [Geizhals.at](https://geizhals.at) and [Geizhals.de](https://geizhals.de), the leading tech price comparison platform in Austria and Germany with 500,000+ products and 1,000+ merchants. ### How it works 1. Enter a product name (e.g., "iPhone 16", "RTX 4090") or paste a Geizhals category URL 2. Choose the market: Austria (`at`) or Germany (`de`) 3. Run the actor The actor finds matching products and extracts the best prices from all available merchants. ### Output | Field | Description | |-------|-------------| | `name` | Product name | | `price` / `currency` | Best price in EUR | | `availability` | Stock status | | `merchant_count` | Number of merchants offering this product | | `merchant_name` | Cheapest merchant (with detail mode) | | `mpn` | Manufacturer Part Number | | `image_url` | Product thumbnail | | `category` | Product category path | | `source_url` | Link to product on Geizhals | ### Pricing No start fee -- pay only for results: | Event | Cost | |-------|------| | Product | $0.003 | **100 products = $0.30** | **1,000 products = $3.00** ### Examples #### Search by keyword ```json { "searchQuery": "iPhone 16", "country": "at", "maxResults": 10 } ```` #### Multiple searches ```json { "searchQueries": ["RTX 4090", "Samsung Galaxy S24", "Sony WH-1000XM5"], "country": "de", "maxResults": 20 } ``` #### Category URL ```json { "categoryUrl": "https://geizhals.at/?cat=spoutbht", "maxResults": 50 } ``` ### Issues & Feedback Missing something or not working as expected?

Each query runs independently. ## `categoryUrl` (type: `string`): Direct category URL (e.g., 'https://geizhals.at/?cat=spoutbht'). Overrides search queries. ## `country` (type: `string`): Which Geizhals domain to search. 'at' = geizhals.at (Austria), 'de' = geizhals.de (Germany). ## `maxResults` (type: `integer`): Maximum number of products to scrape per query ## `includeOffers` (type: `boolean`): Fetch product detail pages to extract individual merchant offers (slower but includes all merchants and exact prices) ## `proxyConfiguration` (type: `object`): Apify proxy settings. RESIDENTIAL proxy required to bypass Cloudflare. ## Actor input object example ```json { "searchQuery": "iphone 16", "country": "at", "maxResults": 5, "includeOffers": false, "proxyConfiguration": { "useApifyProxy": true, "apifyProxyGroups": [ "RESIDENTIAL" ] } } ``` # Actor output Schema ## `productPrices` (type: `string`): Dataset containing scraped product prices # API You can run this Actor programmatically using our API. Below are code examples in JavaScript, Python, and CLI, as well as the OpenAPI specification and MCP server setup. ## JavaScript example ```javascript import { ApifyClient } from 'apify-client'; // Initialize the ApifyClient with your Apify API token // Replace the '' with your token const client = new ApifyClient({ token: '', }); // Prepare Actor input const input = { "searchQuery": "iphone 16", "maxResults": 5 }; // Run the Actor and wait for it to finish const run = await client.actor("santamaria-automations/geizhals-scraper").call(input); // Fetch and print Actor results from the run's dataset (if any) console.log('Results from dataset'); console.log(`💾 Check your data here: https://console.apify.com/storage/datasets/${run.defaultDatasetId}`); const { items } = await client.dataset(run.defaultDatasetId).listItems(); items.forEach((item) => { console.dir(item); }); // 📚 Want to learn more 📖?
