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 ## Biltema Norway Scraper Scrape products from biltema.no, the Norwegian arm of the Nordic chain selling tools, car parts, DIY materials, leisure equipment, home and garden goods, and electrical supplies. Prices are returned in Norwegian kroner (NOK). ### Input | Field | Type | Required | Description | |-------|------|----------|-------------| | `categoryUrl` | String | No | Category URL, e.g. `https://www.biltema.no/verktoy/bor/trebor/` | | `searchQuery` | String | No | Norwegian keyword, e.g. `"verktøy"`, `"motorolje"`, `"grill"` | | `maxResults` | Integer | No | Product cap (default: 100) | | `scrapeDetails` | Boolean | No | Visit product pages for full specs, descriptions, and image galleries (slower but richer data) | | `proxyConfiguration` | Object | No | Proxy settings (Apify residential, country `NO` recommended) | Norwegian slugs fold diacritics, so `verktøy` in the category tree becomes `verktoy` in the URL. The scraper normalises your keyword automatically, so `"verktøy"` and `"verktoy"` both match. ### Output | Field | Type | Example | |-------|------|---------| | `name` | String | `"Spiralbor, 20 mm"` | | `brand` | String | `"Biltema"` | | `price` | Number | `179.00` | | `currency` | String | `"NOK"` | | `articleNumber` | String | Biltema article number | | `articleNumberFriendly` | String | Human-readable article number | | `originalPrice` | Number | Previous price when reduced | | `priceExVAT` | Number | Price excluding VAT | | `imageUrl` | String | Product image | | `imageUrls` | Array | All images | | `description` | String | Product description | | `specs` | Object | `{"Effekt": "750 W", "Vekt": "2.3 kg"}` | | `category` | String | `"Verktøy > Bor"` | | `categories` | Array | Full category path | ```json { "name": "Spiralbor, 20 mm", "brand": "Biltema", "price": 179.00, "currency": "NOK", "articleNumber": "16484", "url": "https://www.biltema.no/verktoy/bor/trebor/spiralbor-20-mm-2000068152", "category": "Verktøy > Bor > Trebor", "scrapedAt": "2026-07-07T10:00:00.000Z" } ```` ### Pricing format Norwegian prices are returned as plain numbers in NOK (`179.00`). The scraper reads the structured product JSON embedded in each page, so it does not depend on fragile on-page price formatting. ### Cost Without detail scraping: **~$0.10 per 1,000 products.** With `scrapeDetails` enabled: **~$0.30 per 1,000.** ### Notes - Many Biltema products are their own private-label brand - The `scrapeDetails` flag controls whether individual product pages are visited for full spec tables and descriptions - Discovery works via Biltema's product sitemap, filtered by keyword or category path - The English `/en-no/` mirror is skipped so you get Norwegian names and one clean item per product ### Why use Biltema Norway Scraper - **Price monitoring** — Track prices, stock, and promotions across biltema.no at scale - **Competitive intelligence** — Compare your catalog against Biltema Norway pricing and assortment - **Market research** — Analyze category trends, new arrivals, and assortment breadth - **Lead generation** — Build product datasets for affiliate sites, comparison tools, or feeds - **No login or cookies required** — Authenticated access not needed; works out of the box ### How to use Biltema Norway Scraper 1. Open the **Input** tab and provide a search query or category URL 2. Adjust optional filters such as `maxResults` or proxy settings 3. Click **Start** and wait for the run to complete 4. Download results from the **Output** tab in JSON, CSV, Excel, XML, or HTML 5. Schedule recurring runs from the **Schedule** tab if you need ongoing data ### How to scrape Biltema data This Actor automates the process of extracting structured product data from Biltema Norway. You can run it directly from the Apify console, the Apify API, or any of the official SDKs (JavaScript, Python). The scraper handles retries and rate limiting so you can focus on the data, not the plumbing. Typical workflows: - **One-off export**: paste a category URL or Norwegian keyword, set `maxResults`, and run - **Scheduled monitoring**: set a daily cron in the Schedule tab to track prices over time - **Programmatic integration**: trigger runs from your backend via the Apify API and pull the dataset when finished - **Webhook automation**: receive a callback the moment a run completes and pipe the results into Zapier, Make, n8n, BigQuery, or Google Sheets ### Tips for best results - **Start small** — run with `maxResults: 10` before launching large jobs - **Use Norwegian proxies** — Apify residential proxies scoped to country `NO` reduce blocking - **Keep concurrency modest** — 5–10 is stable for this site - **Schedule runs** — daily runs are usually enough for price monitoring - **Inspect the dataset schema** — the Storage tab shows the full output structure ### FAQ and support **Is it legal to scrape Biltema?** This Actor extracts publicly available data. Always review the website's Terms of Service before scraping at scale, and respect rate limits. **Why am I getting fewer results than expected?** Narrow keywords match fewer sitemap URLs. Broaden your `searchQuery` or raise `maxResults`. **Can I extract data for a single product?** Yes — provide the full product URL as a category filter and the scraper will return the matching item. **The site blocks me — what should I do?** Enable Apify residential proxies scoped to Norway in the input. Datacenter IPs are blocked by many e-commerce sites. For issues, feature requests, or bug reports, open a ticket in the Issues tab on the Actor page or contact support@apify.com. We monitor every actor and ship fixes quickly when sites change. # Actor input Schema ## `categoryUrl` (type: `string`): A biltema.no category page URL to scrape.
