Otto.de Product Scraper

Pull structured product data from Otto.de, one of Germany's largest online marketplaces — brands, EUR prices, compare-at prices, computed discounts, ratings, review counts, delivery availability, colour variants, images, and Otto's own sustainability badges. Search by keyword or paste any Otto.de search or category address. Built for pricing analysts, e-commerce teams, and market researchers who need a clean German marketplace dataset without babysitting a fragile in-house collector.

Why This Scraper?

• Six sort orders, including Biggest Discount — Topseller, Price: Low to High, Price: High to Low, Biggest Discount, New Arrivals, and Best Rated. Sorting by Biggest Discount surfaced products at 72–84% off in live testing — a ready-made deal feed you cannot build from a plain keyword dump.
• No result ceiling — a single shirt search reaches all ~27,300 matching products, and collection runs to the true end of Otto's ranked list rather than stopping at an arbitrary page. Up to 50,000 products per run.
• Sustainability badges on roughly 2 in 3 products — Otto's own eco labels (for example "Verbesserte Rohstoffbeschaffung") arrive as readable German text, not internal codes. Around 80 of every 120 products carry at least one — a genuinely differentiating signal for German market research.
• Discount percentage as a computed number, not a display badge — instead of relying on Otto's on-tile "-14%" tag, we calculate the exact percentage off against the compare-at price or the RRP. It populates on roughly 3 in 4 products in live testing, and on effectively every result once you sort by Biggest Discount — a numeric discountPercent column you can actually sort, threshold, and filter on.
• Ad-free by default, and labelled either way — Otto mixes roughly 1 in 10 paid placements into its results. They are excluded by default and never charged for; turn them on and every row is still marked organic or sponsored, so you can measure ad share on purpose.
• Price range narrowed by Otto itself — a 10–300 EUR range is applied on Otto's side, so products outside your range are never collected and never charged for. Verified live: a 10–30 EUR range returns 10,21 € to 29,99 € and nothing else.
• Category addresses resolve to Otto's real taxonomy — /damen/mode/shirts/ and /herren/mode/jeans/ sit under internal categories the address slug never reveals, and this scraper resolves them exactly as Otto does. Any facets already applied in a pasted address, such as a price band, are kept intact.
• 26 typed fields per product — including average rating, review count, delivery availability text, base colour plus every available colourway, and a From price flag that tells you when a price is a "starting at" figure rather than the exact one. German prices like 1.399,00 € arrive as real numbers (1399.0).
• German keywords, umlauts, and phrases all work — küchenmaschine and blaues hemd return full result sets, so you can search the way German shoppers actually search.

Input Reference

What to Scrape

Provide search keywords, paste Otto.de addresses, or both — at least one is needed to get results.

Parameter	Type	Default	Description
searchQueries	string[]	["shirt"]	Keywords to search on Otto.de, such as "shirt" or "kaffeevollautomat". Each keyword runs its own search and the search is built for you — no need to create addresses. Umlauts and multi-word phrases are fully supported.
startUrls	string[]	[]	Otto.de search or category page addresses, such as https://www.otto.de/suche/shirt/ or https://www.otto.de/damen/mode/shirts/. Both page types are collected exactly as Otto scopes them, and any filters already in the pasted address (for example a price range) are kept.

Filters

Otto applies the sort order and price range itself, so these also decide which products you get when you set a result limit.

Parameter	Type	Default	Description
sortBy	string	"topseller"	Order in which products are collected. One of topseller (Topseller), preis-aufsteigend (Price: Low to High), preis-absteigend (Price: High to Low), hoechste-reduzierung (Biggest Discount), neuheiten (New Arrivals), bewertung (Best Rated).
minPrice	integer	—	Only collect products priced at or above this amount, in euros. Leave empty for no lower limit.
maxPrice	integer	—	Only collect products priced at or below this amount, in euros. Leave empty for no upper limit.
includeSponsored	boolean	false	Otto mixes paid, sponsored products into its results (roughly 1 in 10). Leave off for a clean, ad-free product list. Turn on to get results exactly as a shopper sees them. Every product is labelled organic or sponsored either way.

Limits

Parameter	Type	Default	Description
maxResults	integer	100	Maximum number of products to return per search keyword or address. Set to 0 to collect everything available, up to a safety limit of 50,000 products per run. Products are collected about 120 at a time, so the final count is rounded up to the end of the last page.

Output

Each record is one product with up to 26 typed fields:

{
    "productId": "1795988188",
    "variationId": "1795988189",

Fields with no value are omitted from the record rather than returned as empty.

Product Identity

Field	Type	Description
productId	string	Otto's product identifier — stable across colourways of the same product.
variationId	string	Identifier for this specific variation (colour). Unique per record; results are de-duplicated on it.

name	string	Full product name, including pack and variant wording.

Tips for Best Results

• Use German keywords — Otto.de is a German marketplace, and its search matches German product wording. kaffeevollautomat returns a far richer result set than coffee machine. Umlauts and multi-word phrases such as blaues hemd work exactly as typed.
• Sort deliberately when you set a limit — Otto applies the sort order before you ever see the results, so a 500-product limit on Price: Low to High gives you the 500 cheapest matches, not 500 random ones. This is the single most useful lever in the whole input.
• Biggest Discount is the deal-hunter's sort — combined with a price band it produces a ready-to-use markdown feed. In testing, the top of a hoechste-reduzierung run sat at 82–84% off.
• Treat isStartingPrice: true with care — that price is a "from" figure across sizes or colours, not the exact price of that variation. Filter those rows out before doing exact price comparisons or you will understate the true price.
• Results arrive about 120 at a time — asking for 50 returns roughly 120, and you are charged for what you receive. Start with 100 to test the shape of the data, then raise the limit.
• Paste addresses with your filters already applied — click a brand or price facet on Otto.de in your browser, copy the address from the bar, and paste it in. Those facets are carried through, which is faster than recreating them here.
• Leave sponsored results off unless you want them — the default gives you a clean organic dataset. Turn them on only when measuring how much paid placement a category carries.

Pricing

From $1.20 per 1,000 results — a flat rate per product returned, cheaper than the German marketplace alternatives. Bronze, Silver, and Gold subscribers pay progressively less; the table below shows total cost at each discount tier.

Results	No discount	Bronze	Silver	Gold
100	$0.14	$0.135	$0.13	$0.12
1,000	$1.40	$1.35	$1.30	$1.20
10,000	$14.00	$13.50	$13.00	$12.00
100,000	$140.00	$135.00	$130.00	$120.00

A "result" is one product record in your dataset. No compute or time-based charges — you pay per result, plus a small fixed per-run start fee. Products filtered out before you receive them — those outside your price range, and sponsored placements you opted out of — are never charged for.
