---

About Conforama.ch

Conforama is Switzerland's leading furniture and home goods retailer, offering thousands of products across entertainment systems, bedroom, kitchen, and living room categories. Manually tracking product availability, pricing, and promotions across the site is inefficient — the Conforama Product Search Scraper automates product data extraction, delivering clean, structured records from search result pages.

Input Format

The Actor supports two scraping modes — use only one at a time:

1. Scrape by URLs — scrape data directly from a list of Conforama category or search result URLs.

{
  "urls": [
    "https://www.conforama.ch/de/entertainment/c/entertainment"
  ],
  "ignore_url_failures": true,
  "max_items_per_url": 200
}

2. Scrape by search filters — scrape data using a keyword and additional filters (sorting, price range, page) instead of providing URLs.

{
  "keyword": "tv",
  "sort_by": "ec_price asc",
  "price_range": "729-8965",
  "page": 1,
  "max_items_per_url": 200
}

There is also a General settings group that applies to both modes.

1. Scrape by URLs

Use this mode when you already have specific category or search result URLs. When this mode is used, all options in the "Scrape by search filters" section will be disabled.

Field	Type	Default	Description
urls	array	(required)	Direct links to Conforama category or search result pages. Supports /de/, /fr/, and /it/ language variants. You can paste URLs one by one, or use the Bulk edit section to add a prepared list. You may scrape multiple categories by adding more URLs to the array.
ignore_url_failures	boolean	true	If true, the scraper continues running when a URL fails instead of stopping the entire run. If false, it stops on the first error. Recommended true for bulk jobs.

Tip: Use category URLs (e.g., /entertainment/c/entertainment) rather than individual product pages for best results.

2. Scrape by search filters

Use this mode when you want to search using a keyword and additional filter attributes instead of scraping by URLs. If you use this mode, leave the urls field above empty.

Field	Type	Default	Description
keyword	string	—	The keyword to search for.
sort_by	string	—	Sort results by: Relevance (empty), Price low to high (ec_price asc), Price high to low (ec_price desc), Discount low to high (cf_product_price_percentagediscount asc), Rating high to low (cf_product_bazaarvoiceaveragerating desc), Availability (cf_product_nb_stores desc), Best Seller (cf_product_sell desc).
price_range	string	—	Price range to filter by, in min-max format (e.g. 100-200).
page	integer	—	The page number to start scraping from.

3. General settings

Applies to both scraping modes above.

Field	Type	Default	Description
max_items_per_url	integer	20	The maximum number of products to extract per URL/search. Useful for limiting API usage or testing (e.g., 200).

How to Use

1. Find category URLs — Browse Conforama.ch and copy the URL of a product category (e.g., /de/entertainment/c/entertainment).
2. Prepare input JSON — Populate the urls array with one or more Conforama category or search URLs.
3. Set scraping limits — Adjust max_items_per_url based on your needs (higher = more data, longer runtime).
4. Enable fault tolerance — Set ignore_url_failures: true for batch jobs to skip broken links gracefully.
5. Run the scraper — Execute the actor and monitor progress in the logs.
6. Export results — Download output as JSON, CSV, or Excel for analysis or integration.

Best practices:

• Language-specific URLs (/de/, /fr/, /it/) scrape the correct language variant.
• Filter by color or gender before scraping for targeted datasets.
• Use max_items_per_url: 200 to balance data volume with execution time.

Handling errors:

• If a URL returns no products, verify it is a valid category page, not a product detail page.
• Empty EC Images or EC Thumbnails may indicate unloaded media; re-run if needed.
