Actors are a software tools running on the Apify platform, for all kinds of web data extraction and automation use cases. In Batch mode, an Actor accepts a well-defined JSON input, performs an action which can take anything from a few seconds to a few hours, and optionally produces a well-defined JSON output, datasets with results, or files in key-value store. In Standby mode, an Actor provides a web server which can be used as a website, API, or an MCP server. Actors are written with capital "A". ## How to integrate an Actor? If asked about integration, you help developers integrate Actors into their projects. You adapt to their stack and deliver integrations that are safe, well-documented, and production-ready. The best way to integrate Actors is as follows. In JavaScript/TypeScript projects, use official [JavaScript/TypeScript client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js.md): ```bash npm install apify-client ``` In Python projects, use official [Python client library](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python.md): ```bash pip install apify-client ``` In shell scripts, use [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md): ````bash # MacOS / Linux curl -fsSL https://apify.com/install-cli.sh | bash # Windows irm https://apify.com/install-cli.ps1 | iex ```bash In AI frameworks, you might use the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/platform/integrations/mcp.md). If your project is in a different language, use the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md). For usage examples, see the [API](#api) section below. For more details, see Apify documentation as [Markdown index](https://docs.apify.com/llms.txt) and [Markdown full-text](https://docs.apify.com/llms-full.txt). # README ## BILLA Austria Scraper Scrape the BILLA Austria online shop (shop.billa.at) by keyword and get clean, structured product data: names, brands, prices, unit prices, promotions, categories, SKUs and images. BILLA is one of Austria's largest supermarket chains. This actor reads its public product catalogue directly, so you get fast, reliable grocery data without a login, cookies or a browser. ### Why use this actor? If you track grocery prices, build a price-comparison tool, monitor promotions, or feed a market-research dataset, you need structured product data you can rely on. This actor turns any BILLA search into a table of products with prices in EUR, unit prices, and promotion details. Typical users: - Price-intelligence and price-comparison platforms tracking Austrian retail. - Brands and suppliers monitoring how their products are listed and promoted. - Market researchers and analysts building grocery datasets. - Developers who need a clean product feed instead of scraping HTML themselves. ### How to scrape BILLA data 1. Open the actor in the Apify Console. 2. Enter a **search query** in German — for example `milch`, `kaffee`, `schokolade` or `bio`. 3. Set **maxResults** to how many products you want (BILLA caps each query at 1000 results). 4. Leave the proxy on the default Apify setting and click **Start**. 5. When the run finishes, download the results as JSON, CSV, Excel or feed them to an API. The actor calls BILLA's own product-discovery API, paginates through every result page for your query, de-duplicates by article number, and writes one clean record per product. ### Input | Field | Type | Required | Description | |-------|------|----------|-------------| | `searchQuery` | String | No | Keyword to search in German (default: `milch`) | | `maxResults` | Integer | No | Maximum products to return, 1–1000 (default: 100) | | `proxyConfiguration` | Object | No | Apify proxy settings (default Apify proxy works) | #### Example input ```json { "searchQuery": "milch", "maxResults": 20, "proxyConfiguration": { "useApifyProxy": true } } ```` ### Output Each result contains: | Field | Type | Example | |-------|------|---------| | `productName` | String | `"Clever Haltbar-Vollmilch 3.5%"` | | `brand` | String | `"CLEVER"` | | `price` | Number | `0.94` | | `currency` | String | `"EUR"` | | `unitPrice` | String | `"€0.94/Liter"` | | `originalPrice` | Number | `2.89` | | `discount` | String | `"-31% · ab 4 Flaschen"` | | `category` | String | `"Kühlwaren > Milchprodukte > Milch > Haltbar Milch"` | | `sku` | String | `"00-746506"` | | `productId` | String | `"49e95946-1d50-4f84-9b4d-fbac7b0f623b"` | | `inStock` | Boolean | `true` | | `imageUrl` | String | Primary product image URL | | `url` | String | Full product page URL | | `scrapedAt` | String | ISO 8601 timestamp | `originalPrice` and `discount` are present only on promoted products. ### Example output ```json { "productName": "Clever Haltbar-Vollmilch 3.5%", "brand": "CLEVER", "price": 0.94, "currency": "EUR", "unitPrice": "€0.94/Liter", "category": "Kühlwaren > Milchprodukte > Milch > Haltbar Milch", "sku": "00-746506", "productId": "49e95946-1d50-4f84-9b4d-fbac7b0f623b", "inStock": true, "imageUrl": "https://images.cdn.europe-west1.gcp.commercetools.com/.../00-746506.jpg", "url": "https://shop.billa.at/produkte/clever-haltbarvollmilch-35-00746506", "scrapedAt": "2026-07-12T09:00:00.000Z" } ``` ### Notes and limitations - Prices are the current online-shop prices in EUR. Store prices may differ by region. - BILLA caps every search query at 1000 results. To cover a whole catalogue, run several targeted keyword or category searches. - EAN / barcode is not exposed by the BILLA search API, so it is not included. - `originalPrice` and `discount` appear only when a product is on promotion. ### Cost Pricing is pay-per-result. A typical keyword search of 100–1000 products completes in well under a minute, so most runs cost only a few cents in Apify platform usage plus the per-result fee. ### Related Scrapers Build a complete view of European grocery retail with these sibling scrapers from Studio AMBA: - **[Esselunga IT Scraper](https://apify.com/studio-amba/esselunga-it-scraper)** — Italian supermarket products and promotions (esselunga.it). - **[Continente PT Scraper](https://apify.com/studio-amba/continente-pt-scraper)** — Portuguese groceries with EAN barcodes (continente.pt). - **[Dia ES Scraper](https://apify.com/studio-amba/dia-es-scraper)** — Spanish supermarket products and prices (dia.es). - **[Mercadona Scraper](https://apify.com/studio-amba/mercadona-scraper)** — Spain's largest supermarket (mercadona.es). - **[Colruyt Scraper](https://apify.com/studio-amba/colruyt-scraper)** — Belgian grocery prices (colruyt.be). - **[Delhaize Scraper](https://apify.com/studio-amba/delhaize-scraper)** — Belgian supermarket products (delhaize.be). - **[Tesco Scraper](https://apify.com/studio-amba/tesco-scraper)** — UK groceries and Clubcard offers (tesco.com). # Actor input Schema ## `searchQuery` (type: `string`): Keyword to search the BILLA catalogue in German (e.g. 'milch', 'kaffee', 'schokolade'). ## `maxResults` (type: `integer`): Maximum number of products to return. BILLA caps each query at 1000 results. ## `proxyConfiguration` (type: `object`): Apify proxy settings. The default Apify (datacenter) proxy works — the BILLA API is not geo-locked. ## Actor input object example ```json { "searchQuery": "milch", "maxResults": 20, "proxyConfiguration": { "useApifyProxy": true } } ``` # API You can run this Actor programmatically using our API. Below are code examples in JavaScript, Python, and CLI, as well as the OpenAPI specification and MCP server setup. ## JavaScript example ```javascript import { ApifyClient } from 'apify-client'; // Initialize the ApifyClient with your Apify API token // Replace the '' with your token const client = new ApifyClient({ token: '', }); // Prepare Actor input const input = { "searchQuery": "milch", "maxResults": 20, "proxyConfiguration": { "useApifyProxy": true } }; // Run the Actor and wait for it to finish const run = await client.actor("studio-amba/billa-at-scraper").call(input); // Fetch and print Actor results from the run's dataset (if any) console.log('Results from dataset'); console.log(`💾 Check your data here: https://console.apify.com/storage/datasets/${run.defaultDatasetId}`); const { items } = await client.dataset(run.defaultDatasetId).listItems(); items.forEach((item) => { console.dir(item); }); // 📚 Want to learn more 📖?
