Product link patterns

The scraper detects Bruna product links by path patterns:

• /boeken/ -- books
• /product/ -- general products
• /cadeau/ -- gifts
• /kantoor/ -- office supplies

Links containing /zoeken (search) or /categorie are treated as listing pages.

How it handles books

For books, the brand field contains the author name (since books don't have a "brand" in the traditional sense). The ean field contains the ISBN. JSON-LD ItemList data on listing pages is also parsed as a secondary source of product links.

Cost

CheerioCrawler. ~$0.25 per 1,000 products.

How to scrape Bruna data

This Actor automates the process of extracting structured product data from Bruna. You can run it directly from the Apify console, the Apify API, or any of the official SDKs (JavaScript, Python). The scraper handles pagination, retries, and rate limiting so you can focus on the data, not the plumbing.

Typical workflows:

• One-off export: paste a category URL or 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 proxies — residential proxies reduce blocking on protected sites
• Throttle on big jobs — keep maxConcurrency modest (5–10) for stability
• 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 Bruna? 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? Some categories have hidden pagination or load more on scroll. Increase maxResults and verify your filters.

Can I extract data for a single product? Yes — provide the full product URL in startUrls and the scraper will return one item.

The site blocks me — what should I do? Enable Apify residential proxies in the input. Datacenter IPs are blocked by many e-commerce sites.
