Vergelijk Product Search Scraper: Compare Prices Across Retailers

---

What Is Vergelijk?

Vergelijk.be (varusok.se, sammenlign.dk, sammenlign.no, vergelijk.nl, comparer.be, comparer.fr, bestekauf.de) is leading product comparison platform, aggregating prices and offers from dozens of online retailers. Whether searching for beauty products, electronics, or home goods, Vergelijk consolidates shop prices, discounts, and availability in one place. For businesses needing competitive pricing data, manually checking dozens of product pages is impractical — the Vergelijk Product Search Scraper automates extraction, delivering structured price intelligence at scale.

---

Overview

The Vergelijk Product Search Scraper extracts product listings and pricing data from Vergelijk.be search results pages. It is ideal for:

• E-commerce businesses monitoring competitor pricing and discounts
• Price comparison platforms feeding Vergelijk data into aggregators
• Market researchers analyzing product availability and retail landscapes
• Deal hunters identifying best offers programmatically
• Data analysts building historical price datasets for trend analysis

The scraper handles pagination, shop offer aggregation, and deal detection — all with configurable limits and error tolerance.

Input Format

The scraper accepts a JSON configuration object:

{
  "urls": [
    "https://www.vergelijk.be/geuren_voor_haar/p/2/"
  ],
  "ignore_url_failures": true,
  "max_items_per_url": 200
}

Input Parameters Explained

Parameter	Type	Description
urls	Array	URLs of Vergelijk.be (varusok.se, sammenlign.dk, sammenlign.no, vergelijk.nl, comparer.be, comparer.fr, bestekauf.de) product search/category pages to scrape. Paste search results pages (e.g., category pages, filtered searches). Supports pagination URLs.
ignore_url_failures	Boolean	If true, the scraper continues running even if some URLs fail. If false, a single failure stops the entire run. Default: true (recommended for large batches).
max_items_per_url	Integer	Maximum number of products extracted per URL (e.g., 200). Limits data volume and run duration. Set higher for exhaustive collection, lower for quick samples.

Tip: Search result pages typically show 20–50 products per page. Set max_items_per_url to 100–200 for complete category coverage.

How to Use

1. Get Vergelijk.be URLs — Navigate to Vergelijk.be (varusok.se, sammenlign.dk, sammenlign.no, vergelijk.nl, comparer.be, comparer.fr, bestekauf.de), search for a product category, and copy the search results page URL (e.g., https://www.vergelijk.be/geuren_voor_haar/p/2/).
2. Prepare your input — Paste URLs into the urls array. You can add multiple category pages or filtered search results.
3. Set scraping limits — Choose max_items_per_url based on your needs (e.g., 200 for complete categories, 50 for quick samples).
4. Enable fault tolerance — Set ignore_url_failures: true to skip broken or temporarily unavailable pages without stopping the run.
5. Execute and export — Run the scraper and download results as JSON, CSV, or Excel.

Best practices:

• Test with a single URL first to verify output quality.
• For bulk category scraping, use ignore_url_failures: true to handle dynamic content.
• Schedule regular runs to track price changes over time.

Troubleshooting:

• If no products return, verify the URL points to a Vergelijk.be product listing page (not a single product detail page).
• If shop offers are incomplete, Vergelijk may be still loading data; retry after a few minutes.
