Smartprix Product Search Scraper: Extract Electronics Pricing Data

---

What Is Smartprix.com?

Smartprix.com is a leading electronics price comparison platform aggregating thousands of products — smartphones, laptops, tablets, and accessories — across multiple online retailers. It provides real-time pricing, user ratings, specifications, and availability data. Manually tracking price changes and competitor offerings is inefficient; the Smartprix Product Search Scraper automates product data collection at scale, enabling data-driven pricing and market intelligence strategies.

Overview

The Smartprix Product Search Scraper extracts product listings from Smartprix search and category pages, capturing essential pricing, specification, and availability metadata. It is designed for:

• E-commerce businesses monitoring competitor prices and market positioning
• Price aggregators building comprehensive product databases
• Market researchers analyzing electronics pricing trends
• Retailers tracking product availability and consumer ratings
• Data analysts feeding pricing data into forecasting models

The scraper excels at high-volume collection with configurable limits, flexible URL handling, and graceful failure management — ensuring continuous data pipeline operation even when some listings become unavailable.

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 product/category page URLs.

{
  "urls": [
    "https://www.smartprix.com/mobiles",
    "https://www.smartprix.com/laptops",
    "https://www.smartprix.com/search?q=iphone"
  ],
  "ignore_url_failures": true,
  "max_items_per_url": 200
}

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

{
  "keyword": "a",
  "sort_by": "price",
  "price_min": 100,
  "price_max": 12000,
  "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 product search or category page 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)	Product search or category page URLs to scrape. You can paste URLs one by one, or use the Bulk edit section to add a prepared list.
ignore_url_failures	boolean	true	If true, the scraper continues running when a URL fails instead of stopping the entire run. If false, the run stops on the first failed URL. Recommended for bulk jobs.

URL types you can use:

• Category pages: https://www.smartprix.com/mobiles, https://www.smartprix.com/laptops
• Search results: https://www.smartprix.com/search?q=samsung
• Filtered pages: https://www.smartprix.com/mobiles?price_min=10000&price_max=50000
• Brand pages: https://www.smartprix.com/mobiles/apple

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_b	string ("", price, date, rating, price_drop)	—	Sort results by Relevance (empty), Price, Published date, Rating, or Price drop.
price_min	string	—	Minimum price filter. Select from preset values ranging from Min (₹0) up to ₹1.25 Lakh.
price_max	string	—	Maximum price filter. Select from preset values ranging from ₹100 up to Max (unlimited).

3. General settings

Applies to both scraping modes above.

Field	Type	Default	Description
max_items_per_url	integer	20	Maximum number of products to extract per URL/search (1–500, typically 20–200).

Tip: Use ignore_url_failures: true for bulk runs to prevent a single broken URL from halting the entire job.
