Scrape products, prices, specifications, ratings, and availability from Cdiscount.com — France's second-largest e-commerce platform.

Why use this actor?

Cost estimate

This actor uses Playwright (browser-based) to bypass Cloudflare protection. Expect approximately 5-8 compute units per 100 results. At standard Apify pricing, that's roughly $0.25-0.40 per 100 products.

Using residential proxies increases cost but improves reliability significantly.

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
