Dealabs.com Scraper

Extract live deals and coupon codes from dealabs.com, France's largest deals community (part of the Pepper Group network, alongside mydealz.de, pepper.pl and hotukdeals.com).

Why use this actor?

dealabs.com has no public API and its own keyword-search backend is off-limits to crawlers (disallowed in robots.txt). This actor reads the site the way a real category browser does — pulling the same structured deal data dealabs.com's own frontend uses to render each card — so you get clean, structured deals, discount codes, prices and community heat scores without scraping raw HTML by CSS selector. Useful for price-monitoring tools, deal-alert bots, market research on French ecommerce discounting, or feeding a broader European deals aggregator.

How to scrape Dealabs data

1. Pick a category or product-keyword slug from the dealabs.com URL bar — visit dealabs.com/groupe/{slug} in a browser and copy the slug (e.g. high-tech, maison-habitat, auto-moto, sports-plein-air, or gratuit for free deals).
2. Set category to that slug, or leave it empty to pull the site-wide homepage deals feed instead.
3. Set maxResults (results load 30 at a time).
4. Run the actor. Each dealabs.com deal thread becomes one row in the output dataset: title, price, original price, discount %, merchant, shop domain, image, heat score, comment count, category, voucher code, and expiry when the poster set one.
5. Export the dataset as JSON, CSV, or connect it via API to your own pipeline.

There is no login, no cookie banner to dismiss, and no CAPTCHA in the way — dealabs.com's category pages are plain server-rendered HTML, and its Cloudflare protection is passive (no JS challenge encountered).

A note on dealabs.com's own data

dealabs.com is a community-posted deals board, not a retailer's own product feed. Two things follow directly from that and aren't scraper bugs:

• price is what the poster typed in, and on a meaningful share of threads it doesn't exactly match the price mentioned in the title text itself. Always treat the title as the human-readable source of truth and price/originalPrice as the structured (but occasionally imprecise) numeric fields.
• price is legitimately empty on a lot of deals. Freebies, coupon-code-only posts, and press-release-style deals (merchantName also null on these) often carry no numeric price or registered merchant at all — that's the real shape of the data, not a missing DOM fallback.

Input

Field	Type	Required	Description
category	String	No	dealabs.com category/keyword slug from /groupe/{slug} (e.g. high-tech, maison-habitat, auto-moto, gratuit). Empty = site-wide homepage deals feed.
maxResults	Integer	No	Maximum deals to return (default: 50, loads in pages of 30).
proxyConfiguration	Object	No	Proxy settings. Defaults to residential, France — dealabs.com's Cloudflare passes plain HTTP requests but intermittently blocks Apify's automatic/datacenter proxy IPs.

Cost estimate

This actor uses approximately 1 request per 30 results (one listing page = 30 deals), making it one of the cheapest scrapers in the fleet per item — well under $0.01 per 30 deals in Apify compute alone.

Limitations

• No robots.txt-compliant keyword search exists on dealabs.com (its /search route and REST/GraphQL API are all disallowed for crawlers). This actor browses by category/keyword slug instead — the same path a visitor takes from the site's own category menu.
• price and discountPercentage are community-entered fields and are sometimes absent, approximate, or (rarely) inconsistent with the deal title — see the note above.
• merchantName is null on deals with no registered merchant page (blog posts, press releases, some freebies) — shopDomain is populated more reliably and is the better "who sells this" field.
• A run's usage cost only settles after the run reports SUCCEEDED — checking cost mid-run under-reports actual spend.
• Data is scraped from the public website and may change without notice.
