Bol.com Scraper

Extract product data from Bol.com — the #1 online retailer in the Netherlands and Belgium — into structured JSON with prices, ratings, specs, stock status, and seller info.

What is Bol.com Scraper?

Bol.com Scraper lets you extract structured e-commerce data from the largest online marketplace in the Benelux region, helping you monitor prices, analyze competitors, and build product databases — all without manual browsing.

• Track competitor pricing: extract current and original prices across thousands of products to spot discounts, price drops, and margin opportunities in real time
• Monitor stock availability: check which products are in stock, which sellers carry them, and get alerts when inventory changes
• Build product catalogs: scrape full product details including specs, images, descriptions, and categories to populate your own catalog or comparison site
• Analyze market trends: collect pricing and review data over time to understand which products are gaining popularity or losing traction
• Feed your analytics pipeline: export structured data to Google Sheets, Airtable, Power BI, or any tool via Apify integrations

Bol.com has no public API for product data, no bulk export, and no price history feature. This scraper is the only way to get structured product data out of the platform at scale.

What data does Bol.com Scraper extract?

📦 Product name and full description 🏷️ Brand name 💰 Price and original price (discount detection) 💶 Currency — always EUR 📊 Rating (0-5) and review count 📦 Stock status — in stock or out of stock 🔢 Product ID and SKU 🖼️ Images — main image and all product photos 📋 Specifications — key-value pairs (screen size, memory, weight, etc.) 📂 Category — full breadcrumb path and category array 🏪 Seller — bol.com's own inventory vs. third-party marketplace sellers 🔗 Direct URL to the product on Bol.com

How to scrape Bol.com products

The input is simple: enter a search keyword or category URLs and hit run. You can configure the scraper through the Apify Console UI or programmatically via the API.

Input parameters

Parameter	Type	Default	Description
searchQuery	String	"laptop"	Search by keyword — e.g. "Samsung Galaxy", "LEGO", "AirPods"
categoryUrls	Array	—	One or more Bol.com category page URLs to scrape directly
maxResults	Integer	100	Maximum number of products to return (1 - 10,000)
proxyConfiguration	Object	—	Proxy settings (recommended — Bol.com rate-limits aggressively)

Tips for best results

• Use proxies for any serious volume: Bol.com rate-limits aggressively. Enable proxy configuration for reliable results beyond a handful of products.
• Combine search + categories: use searchQuery for discovery and categoryUrls to scrape entire product categories systematically
• Start with a small maxResults (e.g. 50) to verify output, then scale up to thousands
• Schedule daily runs to track price changes over time — great for building price history datasets or alerting on discounts

Output

Results are stored in a dataset that you can download in JSON, CSV, Excel, XML, or HTML format directly from the Apify Console.
