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 ## Cdiscount Scraper Scrape products, prices, specifications, ratings, and availability from Cdiscount.com — France's second-largest e-commerce platform. ### Why use this actor? Cdiscount is one of France's biggest online marketplaces with millions of products across electronics, home, fashion, and more. This actor lets you extract structured product data at scale for price monitoring, competitor analysis, market research, and lead generation without building your own scraper infrastructure. ### Input | Field | Type | Required | Description | |-------|------|----------|-------------| | `startUrls` | Array | No | Category or product URLs to scrape | | `searchQuery` | String | No | Search for products by keyword (e.g., "iPhone 16", "aspirateur robot") | | `maxResults` | Integer | No | Maximum results to return (default: 100) | | `proxyConfiguration` | Object | No | Proxy settings (recommended for large runs) | If neither `startUrls` nor `searchQuery` is provided, the actor defaults to searching for "smartphone". ### Output Each result contains: | Field | Type | Example | |-------|------|---------| | `name` | String | `"Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra 256Go"` | | `brand` | String | `"Samsung"` | | `price` | Number | `1099.99` | | `currency` | String | `"EUR"` | | `originalPrice` | Number | `1299.99` | | `sku` | String | `"SAM-S25U-256"` | | `ean` | String | `"8806095577890"` | | `inStock` | Boolean | `true` | | `rating` | Number | `4.5` | | `reviewCount` | Number | `87` | | `url` | String | Full product URL | | `imageUrl` | String | Primary product image URL | | `imageUrls` | Array | All product image URLs | | `specs` | Object | `{"Stockage": "256 Go", "RAM": "12 Go"}` | | `category` | String | `"Téléphonie > Smartphones"` | | `description` | String | Product description text | | `seller` | String | `"Cdiscount"` | ### Example output ```json { "name": "Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra 256Go Bleu Titane", "brand": "Samsung", "price": 1099.99, "originalPrice": 1299.99, "currency": "EUR", "sku": "SAM-S25U-256BT", "inStock": true, "rating": 4.5, "reviewCount": 87, "url": "https://www.cdiscount.com/telephonie/telephone-mobile/samsung-galaxy-s25-ultra/f-1440404-sam8806095577890.html", "imageUrl": "https://www.cdiscount.com/pdt2/5/7/7/1/700x700/sam8806095577890/rw/samsung-galaxy-s25-ultra.jpg", "specs": { "Stockage": "256 Go", "RAM": "12 Go", "Taille d'ecran": "6.9 pouces" }, "category": "Téléphonie > Smartphones", "description": "Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra avec S Pen intégré...", "seller": "Cdiscount", "scrapedAt": "2026-04-03T14:30:00.000Z" } ```` ### 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 # Actor input Schema ## `startUrls` (type: `array`): Cdiscount category or product pages to scrape. Example: https://www.cdiscount.com/informatique/v-107-0.html ## `searchQuery` (type: `string`): Search for products by name or keyword (e.g., 'iPhone 16', 'aspirateur robot'). Used when no Start URLs are provided. ## `maxResults` (type: `integer`): Maximum number of products to return. ## `proxyConfiguration` (type: `object`): Proxy settings. Recommended: use Apify proxy with residential group for best results against Cloudflare. ## Actor input object example ```json { "startUrls": [ { "url": "https://www.cdiscount.com/informatique/v-107-0.html" } ], "maxResults": 100 } ``` # Actor output Schema ## `results` (type: `string`): No description # API You can run this Actor programmatically using our API.
