## What's an Apify Actor?

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.

# README

## Conrad.be Scraper

Scrape product data, prices, stock levels, and technical specifications from [Conrad.be](https://www.conrad.be) — Belgium's specialist B2B electronics and components supplier. No cookies or login required.

### Why use this actor?

Conrad is Belgium's go-to B2B supplier for electronics components, test equipment, industrial sensors, and consumer electronics. If you need component pricing for procurement, stock monitoring for supply chain management, technical spec extraction for product databases, or competitive analysis in the Belgian B2B electronics market, this actor delivers rich, structured data directly from Conrad's APIs.

### Features

- **API-driven** — calls Conrad's search and offer APIs directly for faster, richer data than HTML scraping
- **Bilingual** — supports both Dutch (`nl`) and French (`fr`) versions
- **B2B pricing** — includes unit prices (excl. VAT), VAT percentage, and calculated price incl. VAT
- **Real-time stock data** — actual warehouse quantities, not just "in stock" / "out of stock"
- **Delivery estimates** — promised delivery dates from the offer API
- **Technical specifications** — full spec tables (operating voltage, memory, dimensions, etc.)
- **No cookies, no login required** — works out of the box

### Input

| Field | Type | Required | Description |
|-------|------|----------|-------------|
| `searchQuery` | String | Conditional | Search term (e.g. `"arduino"`, `"multimeter"`, `"raspberry pi"`) |
| `category` | String | Conditional | Category ID to browse |
| `maxResults` | Integer | No | Maximum products to return (default: 100) |
| `language` | String | No | `nl` (default) or `fr` |
| `proxyConfiguration` | Object | No | Proxy settings |

At least one of `searchQuery` or `category` must be provided.

### Output

Each result contains:

| Field | Type | Example |
|-------|------|---------|
| `name` | String | `"Arduino Uno Rev3"` |
| `brand` | String | `"Arduino"` |
| `price` | Number | `22.49` (excl. VAT) |
| `priceInclVat` | Number | `27.21` |
| `vatPercentage` | Number | `21` |
| `currency` | String | `"EUR"` |
| `ean` | String | `"7630049200050"` |
| `sku` | String | `"A000066"` |
| `productId` | String | `"1927518"` |
| `inStock` | Boolean | `true` |
| `stockLevel` | Number | `156` |
| `deliveryInfo` | String | `"Delivery by 2026-04-08"` |
| `seller` | String | `"Conrad Electronic"` |
| `isSpecialOffer` | Boolean | `false` |
| `rating` | Number | `4.7` |
| `reviewCount` | Number | `23` |
| `url` | String | Full product URL |
| `imageUrl` | String | Product image URL |
| `specs` | Object | `{"Operating Voltage": "5V", "Flash Memory": "32 KB"}` |
| `category` | String | `"Development Boards > Arduino"` |

### Cost estimate

Pure API calls, no browser needed. This actor uses approximately **0.15 compute units per 1,000 products** — one of the cheapest scrapers to run. A 10,000-product extraction costs roughly **$0.15**.

### How it works

Instead of scraping HTML, this actor calls two Conrad APIs directly:

1. **Search API** — returns product names, brands, EANs, technical specs, ratings, and images
2. **Offer API** — returns live pricing, VAT details, stock quantities, delivery dates, and seller info

Offers are fetched in batches of 20 products per API call for efficiency. The two data sources are merged to produce a complete product record.

### Limitations

- Requires either a `searchQuery` or `category` — cannot scrape the full catalog without a starting point
- Prices are B2B (excluding VAT) by default; the `priceInclVat` field adds Belgian 21% VAT
- Stock levels are real-time warehouse quantities and can change rapidly
- Data is scraped from the public API and may change without notice
