How to scrape Durchblicker data

Durchblicker.at is Austria's leading comparison portal ("Oesterreichs groesstes Tarifvergleichsportal") used by over 700,000 customers to compare household fixed costs. This actor reads the same comparison results a visitor gets, directly from the portal's calculation service, so runs are fast and reliable.

1. Choose a category: Energy (Strom + Gas) or Banking (Sparzinsen + Girokonto).
2. Enter a postal code: Any valid Austrian 4-digit PLZ (e.g. 1010 for Vienna, 5020 for Salzburg, 8010 for Graz). Energy tariffs and grid fees are regional, so the PLZ matters.
3. Set consumption (energy only): Annual energy consumption in kWh. Average Austrian household: ~3,500 kWh electricity, ~15,000 kWh gas.
4. Run the actor: The scraper resolves your local grid operator, requests the full comparison, and extracts all returned tariffs with pricing breakdowns.
5. Export data: Download results as JSON, CSV, or Excel. Integrate via Apify API for automated monitoring.

No login or cookies required. The actor accesses only publicly available comparison data.

Typical use cases

Energy price monitoring

Run this actor on a schedule (daily/weekly) to track electricity and gas prices in specific Austrian regions. Detect price drops and switching opportunities automatically. The savingsPerYear field shows the saving versus the regional default supplier tariff.

Banking product comparison

Monitor checking account fees and savings rates across Austrian banks. Track which banks offer the best conditions over time.

Regional price analysis

Energy prices in Austria differ by grid area. Run the actor for multiple postal codes (1010 Vienna, 5020 Salzburg, 8010 Graz, 4020 Linz...) to build a regional price map.

Automated switching alerts

Combine with Apify webhooks to get notified when cheaper tariffs become available at your postal code.

Cost estimate

This actor talks to Durchblicker's JSON calculation service directly — no headless browser. Runs finish in well under a minute:

• Single category run (e.g. energy): a few cents
• Daily monitoring of one region: well under 1 USD/month
• Multi-region monitoring: scales linearly with the number of postal codes

Proxy configuration

The default configuration uses Apify's residential proxy pool with Austrian IPs, which matches how real visitors reach the site. Datacenter proxies may also work; if you see failures, keep the default RESIDENTIAL + AT setting.

FAQ

Does this actor require login credentials? No. All comparison data on Durchblicker.at is publicly accessible without registration.

Which Austrian postal codes work? Any valid 4-digit Austrian PLZ. Popular ones: 1010 (Vienna), 5020 (Salzburg), 8010 (Graz), 4020 (Linz), 6020 (Innsbruck), 9020 (Klagenfurt). Note: not every PLZ has a gas grid — if there is no gas network at your PLZ, the gas subcategory is skipped.

What does the rating field mean? It is the Durchblicker product grade in the Austrian school grade system: 1.0 is the best possible grade, 5.0 the worst.

How often should I run this actor? For price monitoring, weekly runs are typically sufficient. Energy prices change less frequently than daily; savings rates change monthly.

Can I filter results by provider? Yes, use the searchQuery field to filter by provider name (e.g. "Wien Energie", "Verbund") or feature keyword (e.g. "Ökostrom").
