Cost estimate

This actor uses Playwright (browser-based) to bypass Cloudflare protection. It charges $0.04 per run (start fee, based on its 4 GB memory allocation) plus $0.005 per result scraped. 100 results costs about $0.54; 1,000 results about $5.04. A run's usage cost only settles after it reports SUCCEEDED.

Tips

• Use proxies — Cdiscount has Cloudflare protection. Apify proxy (residential group) is recommended for reliable scraping.
• Start with search — Searching by keyword is the easiest way to find products.
• Category pages — Paste category URLs directly from cdiscount.com for targeted scraping.
• Keep maxResults reasonable — Start with 50-100 to test, then scale up.

Limitations

• Cloudflare protection means the actor requires a browser (Playwright), making it slower than HTTP-based scrapers
• Very large runs (1000+ products) may need residential proxies for consistent results
• Some marketplace seller pages may have different HTML structures
• Data is scraped from the public website and may change without notice
• Respect the website's terms of service and use responsibly
