Alternate Scraper
Pull product listings from Alternate.de, one of Europe's biggest PC hardware and electronics shops. GPUs, CPUs, RAM, SSDs, monitors, peripherals -- if it plugs in, Alternate probably sells it.
This scraper works differently from most: it parses Alternate's a.productBox card layout directly from listing pages using got-scraping, so you get name, brand, price, delivery status, specs, and star ratings without visiting every individual product page. Fast and efficient.

How pagination works
Alternate shows ~24 items per page. The scraper reads the "X von Y Ergebnisse" counter on the first page to calculate total pages, then fetches each page sequentially. Failed pages get one retry after a 2-second wait.
Cost
Only listing pages are fetched (no product detail pages), making this one of the cheapest scrapers around. ~0.2 compute units per 1,000 products.
Gotchas
- German-language site. All product names, specs, and delivery info come in German.
- Prices are in EUR with German formatting (comma for decimals, dot for thousands).
- Specs come from the listing card bullet list, not the full product page. You get the key highlights but not every detail.
- Datacenter proxies recommended for runs over 500 products.
