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 ## Bricomarche Scraper Extract product data, prices, and availability from bricomarche.com -- the French cooperative DIY chain with 700+ stores across France, part of the Les Mousquetaires group (alongside Intermarche). Covers tools, garden equipment, paint, building supplies, bathroom fixtures, and home decor. ### What is Bricomarche Scraper? Bricomarche is France's largest cooperative DIY retailer by store count. Part of the Groupement Les Mousquetaires -- the same cooperative behind Intermarche supermarkets -- Bricomarche operates on a model where each store is run by an independent owner-operator. This cooperative structure means prices can vary between stores, but the online catalog provides a baseline reference for the full product range. Bricomarche fills a specific niche in the French DIY landscape: it targets the rural and suburban consumer, often in areas where Leroy Merlin and Castorama do not have a presence. This makes their pricing data especially interesting for regional market analysis. Here is how teams use this scraper: - **Rural France price intelligence** -- Bricomarche often serves markets where it is the only DIY option. Understand pricing in these areas and compare against urban-focused competitors - **Cooperative pricing analysis** -- Study how the Mousquetaires cooperative model affects retail pricing compared to corporate chains like Leroy Merlin (Adeo Group) or Brico Depot (Kingfisher Group) - **Cross-border comparison** -- Benchmark French cooperative DIY prices against Belgian (Brico, Hubo), German (Hagebau -- also a cooperative), and Nordic (Byggmax, K-Rauta) equivalents - **Seasonal promotion tracking** -- Monitor promotional cycles: spring garden, summer outdoor, autumn heating, and winter decoration campaigns across the cooperative network - **Brand distribution mapping** -- Identify which tool, paint, and garden brands are available through the cooperative channel versus corporate chains ### What data does Bricomarche Scraper extract? Each product includes the following fields when available: - 🏷️ **Product name** -- Full product title in French - 🏢 **Brand** -- Manufacturer name - 💰 **Price** -- Current price in EUR - 🔖 **Original price** -- Pre-sale or "prix barre" for discounted items - 🔢 **SKU** -- Product reference code - 📦 **In stock** -- Availability status - ⭐ **Rating** -- Customer rating - 💬 **Review count** -- Number of customer reviews - 🖼️ **Image URL** -- Main product image - 📝 **Description** -- Product description text - 📂 **Category** -- Product category from breadcrumbs ### How to scrape Bricomarche #### Search by keyword ```json { "searchQuery": "tondeuse", "maxResults": 100 } ```` Useful French search terms: `"tondeuse"` (lawn mower), `"peinture"` (paint), `"perceuse"` (drill), `"etagere"` (shelf), `"salle de bain"` (bathroom), `"barbecue"`, `"abri de jardin"` (garden shed), `"radiateur"` (radiator). #### Scrape category pages ```json { "categoryUrls": [ { "url": "https://www.bricomarche.com/jardin/tondeuses-et-robots.html" } ], "maxResults": 200 } ``` #### Input reference | Field | Type | Description | |-------|------|-------------| | `categoryUrls` | Array | One or more bricomarche.com category or search page URLs | | `searchQuery` | String | French keyword (default: `"peinture"`) | | `maxResults` | Integer | Product limit (default: 100) | | `proxyConfiguration` | Object | Proxy settings (Apify proxy recommended) | **Tip:** If you leave both inputs empty, the scraper defaults to searching for `"peinture"` (paint). The scraper visits each product detail page individually to extract full data including ratings, stock status, and descriptions. ### Output ```json [ { "name": "Tondeuse thermique 140 cc coupe 46 cm", "brand": "Bricomarche", "price": 199.00, "currency": "EUR", "originalPrice": 249.00, "sku": "BM-TOND-140CC", "inStock": true, "rating": 4.1, "reviewCount": 23, "imageUrl": "https://www.bricomarche.com/media/products/tondeuse-thermique-140cc.jpg", "description": "Tondeuse a gazon thermique avec moteur 140 cc, largeur de coupe 46 cm, bac de ramassage 50L, hauteur de coupe reglable 25-75 mm", "category": "Tondeuses & Robots", "url": "https://www.bricomarche.com/tondeuse-thermique-140cc-46cm.html", "scrapedAt": "2026-04-03T11:30:00.000Z" }, { "name": "Peinture murs et boiseries blanc satin 10L", "brand": "Luxens", "price": 54.90, "currency": "EUR", "inStock": true, "rating": 4.3, "reviewCount": 67, "imageUrl": "https://www.bricomarche.com/media/products/luxens-peinture-blanc-satin-10l.jpg", "description": "Peinture acrylique monocouche pour murs et boiseries interieurs.

Each store is independently owned. This gives them strong coverage in rural and suburban France where Leroy Merlin and Castorama have limited presence. For market researchers, this means Bricomarche pricing reflects a different competitive dynamic. **How does Bricomarche pricing compare to Brico Depot?** Brico Depot (Kingfisher Group) focuses on trade and bulk pricing. Bricomarche targets the consumer and light DIY market. Brico Depot is usually cheaper on building materials, while Bricomarche often competes more on garden, outdoor, and home decor. **Are the prices consistent across all Bricomarche stores?** The online catalog prices represent the baseline. Individual store owners may run local promotions or adjust pricing. The scraper extracts online catalog prices only. **Can I track garden furniture seasonally?** Yes. Schedule weekly runs targeting the garden category URL. Bricomarche typically launches garden promotions in March/April and clears inventory in September, making it possible to spot pricing patterns. **What format are the prices in?** French format: comma as decimal separator, space or period as thousands separator. The scraper normalizes these to standard numeric values (e.g., `199.00` instead of `"199,00 EUR"`). **Can I compare Bricomarche with the Intermarche supermarket range?** While both are Mousquetaires group, Bricomarche specializes in DIY/hardware and Intermarche in groceries. There is minimal product overlap. For DIY comparison, pair this with our other French scrapers (Leroy Merlin, Brico Depot, Bricorama, Castorama). ### Limitations - All data is in French from bricomarche.com - The scraper visits each product detail page individually, so larger runs take proportionally longer - Prices are from the online catalog and may differ from in-store pricing at individual cooperative locations - Some products may have limited data if the detail page does not use standard microdata markup - Pagination follows `rel="next"` links; categories without clear pagination may return fewer results ### Other DIY & hardware scrapers Build complete French and European DIY market coverage: - [Gamma Scraper](https://apify.com/studio-amba/gamma-scraper) -- Netherlands - [Leroy Merlin Scraper](https://apify.com/studio-amba/leroymerlin-scraper) -- France - [Brico Scraper](https://apify.com/studio-amba/brico-scraper) -- Belgium - [Praxis Scraper](https://apify.com/studio-amba/praxis-scraper) -- Netherlands - [OBI Scraper](https://apify.com/studio-amba/obi-scraper) -- Germany - [Hornbach Scraper](https://apify.com/studio-amba/hornbach-scraper) -- Germany/Europe - [Bauhaus Scraper](https://apify.com/studio-amba/bauhaus-scraper) -- Germany/Europe - [Castorama Scraper](https://apify.com/studio-amba/castorama-scraper) -- France/Poland - [Hubo Scraper](https://apify.com/studio-amba/hubo-scraper) -- Belgium/Netherlands - [Toom Scraper](https://apify.com/studio-amba/toom-scraper) -- Germany - [Hagebau Scraper](https://apify.com/studio-amba/hagebau-scraper) -- Germany - [Globus Baumarkt Scraper](https://apify.com/studio-amba/globus-baumarkt-scraper) -- Germany - [Bricorama Scraper](https://apify.com/studio-amba/bricorama-scraper) -- France - [Brico Depot Scraper](https://apify.com/studio-amba/bricodepot-scraper) -- France - [Byggmax Scraper](https://apify.com/studio-amba/byggmax-scraper) -- Sweden - [Clas Ohlson Scraper](https://apify.com/studio-amba/clasohlson-scraper) -- Scandinavia - [Jula Scraper](https://apify.com/studio-amba/jula-scraper) -- Sweden - [K-Rauta Scraper](https://apify.com/studio-amba/krauta-scraper) -- Finland ### Your feedback We maintain this scraper actively.
