Usage Examples

Basic Category Extraction

Extract products from a category page:

{
    "start_url": "https://www.jumia.com.ng/android-phones/",
    "results_wanted": 50
}

Large-Scale Collection

Collect extensive product data for analysis:

{
    "start_url": "https://www.jumia.com.ng/laptops/",
    "results_wanted": 500
}

Search Results Extraction

Extract products from search queries:

{
    "start_url": "https://www.jumia.com.ng/catalog/?q=samsung+galaxy",
    "results_wanted": 100
}

With Proxy Configuration

For the most reliable results, use the Unblocker proxy group, which handles anti-bot challenges automatically:

{
    "start_url": "https://www.jumia.com.ng/electronics/",
    "results_wanted": 200,
    "browser_profile": "auto",
    "proxyConfiguration": {
        "useApifyProxy": true,
        "apifyProxyGroups": ["UNBLOCKER"]
    }
}

Jumia's anti-bot check is only cleared through the Unblocker group. Residential and datacenter proxies are tested and do not work for this site, so leave the proxy setting on Unblocker.
