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:

FieldDescription
productIdStable Chitai-Gorod product id — the key used for change-tracking.
nameBook title.
priceCurrent price, ₽.
oldPricePrice before discount, ₽.
discountPctDiscount percent.
availabletrue if buyable, else false.
quantityStock quantity signal.
statusRaw availability status (e.g. canBuy).
authors / publisher / bindingBook metadata.
code / pages / yearPublishingISBN-style code, page count, year.
ratingScore / ratingReviewsAverage rating and review count.
picture / urlCover image and product page URL.
scrapedAtTimestamp 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:

  • changeTypenew / price_up / price_down / stock_change / unchanged
  • previousPrice — the price last run
  • priceLow30 / 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

ParameterDescription
categoryUrlsChitai-Gorod category pages (full URL or catalog/<slug>-<id> path).
searchQueriesKeywords to search (e.g. гарри поттер) — scrapes the search results the same way, with price & stock. Use alone or with categoryUrls.
maxPagesPerCategoryResult pages per category / search (~60 books each). 0 = until it ends.
maxItemsCap on output rows (0 = unlimited).
maxConcurrencyPages fetched in parallel (1–12, default 4).
monitorModeTrack price & availability changes vs the previous run. Off by default.
onlyChangesMonitor: output only changed / new products.
proxyConfigurationApify 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.
