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 ## Elgiganten.se Scraper Scrapes Sweden's largest electronics retailer, Elgiganten.se (part of the Elkjop/Elgiganten Nordic group). The scraper renders the live storefront and extracts structured product data from the search and category result pages, returning clean, normalised records. This is the Swedish sibling of the Elgiganten.dk (Denmark) scraper. It runs on the same platform and extraction approach, tuned for the Swedish market: Swedish-krona (SEK) prices, Swedish stock and rating labels, and Swedish category paths. ### What it extracts Elgiganten.se is a client-rendered storefront. The scraper loads each result page, dismisses the Swedish cookie banner, and reads product cards after hydration. For every product it returns the name, brand, current price, availability, rating, category, and image. Swedish shops display both an incl-VAT consumer price and an excl-VAT price (`Exkl. moms`). The scraper always returns the marketed incl-VAT price, so figures match what a shopper sees. Where a product is on offer, it also captures the previous price (`Ord. pris`) and the saving. ### Input | Field | Type | Required | Description | |-------|------|----------|-------------| | `searchQuery` | String | Conditional | e.g. `"mobiltelefon"`, `"kylskåp"`, `"samsung tv"` | | `categoryUrl` | String | Conditional | e.g. `https://www.elgiganten.se/datorer-kontor/datorer/baerbara-datorer` | | `maxResults` | Integer | No | Default: 100 | | `proxyConfiguration` | Object | No | Proxy settings (Sweden residential recommended) | | `sbrWsCdp` | String | No | Scraping Browser CDP endpoint for anti-bot bypass | One of `searchQuery` or `categoryUrl` is required. When both are empty the scraper falls back to a default search so an empty run still returns data. ### Output | Field | Type | Example | |-------|------|---------| | `name` | String | `"iPhone 15 128GB Black"` | | `brand` | String | `"Apple"` | | `price` | Number | `8990` | | `currency` | String | `"SEK"` | | `originalPrice` | Number | `9990` | | `discount` | String | `"Spara 1000 kr"` | | `inStock` | Boolean | `true` | | `rating` | Number | `4.7` | | `category` | String | `"mobil surfplatta smartwatch > mobiltelefon"` | | `categories` | Array | `["mobil surfplatta smartwatch", "mobiltelefon"]` | | `imageUrl` | String | Product image URL | | `url` | String | Full product page URL | | `scrapedAt` | String | ISO 8601 timestamp | ### Cost Listing mode reads roughly 48 products per result page, so cost per product is low. Run with a small `maxResults` first to gauge the cost for your query, then scale up. ### Notes - Prices are the incl-VAT consumer price in Swedish kronor (SEK) - Ratings are only present for products that have been reviewed; unrated items omit the field - Availability reflects the Swedish stock labels (`I lager online`, `Slutsåld`) - Category is derived from the product URL path (Swedish category slugs) - The site is anti-bot protected. A Scraping Browser endpoint (`sbrWsCdp` input or `SBR_WS_CDP` environment variable) is required for reliable runs - No login or cookies required — the scraper works against publicly available pages ### Why use Elgiganten.se Scraper - **Price monitoring** — Track prices, stock, and promotions across Elgiganten.se at scale - **Competitive intelligence** — Compare your catalogue against Swedish electronics pricing and assortment - **Market research** — Analyse category trends, new arrivals, and rating distributions in Sweden - **Lead generation** — Build product datasets for affiliate sites, comparison tools, or feeds - **No login or cookies required** — Authenticated access not needed; works out of the box ### How to use Elgiganten.se Scraper 1. Open the **Input** tab and provide a search query or a category URL 2. Adjust optional settings such as `maxResults` or proxy configuration 3. Click **Start** and wait for the run to complete 4. Download results from the **Output** tab in JSON, CSV, Excel, XML, or HTML 5. Schedule recurring runs from the **Schedule** tab if you need ongoing data ### How to scrape Elgiganten.se data This Actor automates the process of extracting structured product data from Elgiganten.se. You can run it directly from the Apify console, the Apify API, or any of the official SDKs (JavaScript, Python). The scraper handles pagination, cookie consent, and rendering so you can focus on the data, not the plumbing. Typical workflows: - **One-off export**: paste a category URL or keyword, set `maxResults`, and run - **Scheduled monitoring**: set a daily cron in the Schedule tab to track prices over time - **Programmatic integration**: trigger runs from your backend via the Apify API and pull the dataset when finished - **Webhook automation**: receive a callback the moment a run completes and pipe the results into Zapier, Make, n8n, BigQuery, or Google Sheets ### Tips for best results - **Start small** — run with `maxResults: 10` before launching large jobs - **Use Swedish proxies** — a Sweden residential proxy returns local pricing and stock - **Use native keywords** — Swedish terms like `kylskåp`, `bärbar dator`, `tv` match best - **Schedule runs** — daily runs are usually enough for price monitoring - **Inspect the dataset schema** — the Storage tab shows the full output structure ### FAQ and support **Is it legal to scrape Elgiganten.se?** This Actor extracts publicly available data. Always review the website's Terms of Service before scraping at scale, and respect rate limits. **Why am I getting fewer results than expected?** Some categories load more on scroll or have hidden pagination. Increase `maxResults` and verify your query. **Which currency are prices in?** Swedish kronor (SEK), and always the incl-VAT consumer price shown to shoppers. **The site blocks me — what should I do?** Provide a Scraping Browser endpoint via the `sbrWsCdp` input or the `SBR_WS_CDP` environment variable, and enable Sweden residential proxies. Datacenter IPs are blocked by many e-commerce sites. ### Related Scrapers - [Elgiganten.dk Scraper](https://apify.com/studio-amba/elgiganten-dk-scraper) — the Danish market (Elgiganten.dk), same platform, prices in DKK - Browse more **electronics** and e-commerce scrapers from Studio AMBA on the Apify Store for other Nordic and European retailers For issues, feature requests, or bug reports, open a ticket in the Issues tab on the Actor page or contact support@apify.com.
