Cervera Scraper

Gets product data from Cervera.se, Sweden's specialist retailer for kitchen, table, and homeware. Think Le Creuset, Iittala, and Royal Copenhagen -- the premium Scandinavian kitchen brands.

How it works

Cervera renders its category, brand and campaign listings server-side, 40 products per page, with name, brand, both prices, stock count, image and article number already attached. This scraper reads those listings directly, so there are no detail-page visits and no CSS selectors to break when the site restyles.

Cervera's robots.txt disallows its own /search pages, so this scraper never requests them. A search term is matched against Cervera's category and brand pages instead, taken from Cervera's own sitemap, and the products those pages list are filtered on the term. Searching for kastrull reads the Grytor & Kastruller category and its sub-categories; searching for Le Creuset reads that brand's page.

Input

Field	Type	Required	Description
categoryUrl	String	No	A category, brand or campaign listing, e.g. https://www.cervera.se/produkter/i-koket/grytor--kastruller or https://www.cervera.se/varumarken/le-creuset
searchQuery	String	No	Swedish product word or brand name (default: kastrull). Ignored when categoryUrl is set.
maxResults	Integer	No	Default 100, maximum 50000
proxyConfiguration	Object	No	Proxy settings (default: Apify datacenter proxy)

categoryUrl and searchQuery never combine. Set a URL and the search term is ignored, so a category run returns that listing only. A categoryUrls array is also accepted if you prefer to pass several listings in one run.

Cost

$0.02 per run (start fee, based on its 4 GB memory allocation) plus $0.002 per result — 1,000 products costs about $2.02. Products arrive 40 per page request, so 1,000 products cost 25 requests and finish in well under a minute. A run's usage cost only settles after it reports SUCCEEDED.

Notes

• Swedish-language content; search terms are Swedish words
• Prices are in SEK and include Swedish VAT
• Sale items show price, originalPrice and discount
• inStock is null when Cervera publishes no stock figure. A missing value is never reported as out of stock.
• Cervera publishes no product ratings on its listings, so there is no rating field
