Scrape the Chitai-Gorod (Читай-город) book catalog by category — and, in monitor mode, track exactly how prices, discounts and stock change between runs. No API key, no login.
What it does
Point it at one or more category pages (e.g. https://www.chitai-gorod.ru/catalog/books-18030) and get a clean row per book:
| Field | Description |
|---|---|
productId | Stable Chitai-Gorod product id — the key used for change-tracking. |
name | Book title. |
price | Current price, ₽. |
oldPrice | Price before discount, ₽. |
discountPct | Discount percent. |
available | true if buyable, else false. |
quantity | Stock quantity signal. |
status | Raw availability status (e.g. canBuy). |
authors / publisher / binding | Book metadata. |
code / pages / yearPublishing | ISBN-style code, page count, year. |
ratingScore / ratingReviews | Average rating and review count. |
picture / url | Cover image and product page URL. |
scrapedAt | Timestamp of the scrape. |
Monitor mode — track price & stock changes
Turn on monitorMode and every run is compared to the previous one (same categories). Each row gains:
changeType—new/price_up/price_down/stock_change/unchangedpreviousPrice— the price last runpriceLow30/priceHigh30— rolling 30-day low & high (spot a fake "discount" back to a price the book already had)firstSeenAt/lastConfirmedAt— data-freshness stamps
Set onlyChanges to output only what changed since the last run — a clean delta for alerts or a dashboard. Run it on a schedule and you have a book price & availability monitor. This is the wedge: plenty of tools dump a catalog once — this one tells you what changed.
Input
| Parameter | Description |
|---|---|
categoryUrls | Chitai-Gorod category pages (full URL or catalog/<slug>-<id> path). |
searchQueries | Keywords to search (e.g. гарри поттер) — scrapes the search results the same way, with price & stock. Use alone or with categoryUrls. |
maxPagesPerCategory | Result pages per category / search (~60 books each). 0 = until it ends. |
maxItems | Cap on output rows (0 = unlimited). |
maxConcurrency | Pages fetched in parallel (1–12, default 4). |
monitorMode | Track price & availability changes vs the previous run. Off by default. |
onlyChanges | Monitor: output only changed / new products. |
proxyConfiguration | Apify datacenter proxy is enough (cheap) — residential not required. |
Notes
- Data comes from the page's server-rendered payload — stable and clean.
- Only public catalog data is collected. Do not scrape personal data without a legitimate reason.
