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 ## Farmacia Tei Scraper -- Romania's Largest Online Pharmacy: Products, Prices & Discounts Extract products, prices, discounts, brands, availability, and descriptions from [Farmacia Tei](https://comenzi.farmaciatei.ro) -- Romania's largest online pharmacy with over 50,000 products spanning OTC medications, supplements, cosmetics, veterinary products, and medical devices. ### What is Farmacia Tei Scraper? Farmacia Tei has been a pioneer in Romanian e-commerce pharmacy since 1992. With 500+ employees and one of the highest-traffic health e-commerce sites in Romania, it serves as the primary pricing reference for the Romanian pharmacy and health products market. The platform offers everything from prescription-free medications and vitamins to dermatological cosmetics, baby care, diet supplements, and pet health products. This actor uses Playwright-based browser automation to extract structured product data from Farmacia Tei's search results and category pages. No login or account is needed -- all data comes from publicly accessible product listings. What people build with it: - **Pharmacy pricing intelligence** -- competing Romanian pharmacies and health retailers monitor Farmacia Tei's prices to maintain competitive positioning in the local market. - **Health product market research** -- pharmaceutical companies and supplement brands track how their products are priced, described, and positioned on Romania's largest online pharmacy. - **Product catalogue enrichment** -- health tech platforms and comparison sites use Farmacia Tei's structured product data to populate their Romanian product databases. - **Discount and promotion tracking** -- retailers and consumers track sales, discount percentages, and promotional campaigns across health product categories. - **Consumer trend analysis** -- market researchers analyze Farmacia Tei's bestsellers, pricing patterns, and category structure to understand Romanian consumer health preferences. ### What data does Farmacia Tei Scraper extract? Each product record includes: - **Product name** -- full product name including dosage, form, and manufacturer - **Brand** -- manufacturer or brand name (linked to brand page) - **Price** -- current selling price in RON (Romanian lei) - **Original price** -- regular price before discount, when applicable - **Discount** -- discount percentage (e.g., "- 25%") - **Currency** -- RON - **Stock status** -- whether the product is currently available - **Image URL** -- primary product image from Farmacia Tei's media CDN - **Category** -- product category breadcrumb path - **Product description** -- description or medical indication text - **URL** -- direct link to the product page on comenzi.farmaciatei.ro ### How to scrape Farmacia Tei data | Field | Type | Required | Description | |-------|------|----------|-------------| | `searchQuery` | String | No | Search by keyword: `"ibuprofen"`, `"vitamina C"`, `"crema de fata"` | | `categoryUrl` | String | No | Farmacia Tei category URL, e.g. `https://comenzi.farmaciatei.ro/medicamente-otc/reumatologie-si-traumatisme` | | `maxResults` | Integer | No | Maximum products to return (default: 100, max: 10,000) | | `proxyConfiguration` | Object | No | Proxy settings (Romanian residential proxies recommended) | **Tips:** - Use **Romanian keywords** for best coverage: `"vitamine"` (vitamins), `"suplimente"` (supplements), `"cosmetice"` (cosmetics), `"medicamente"` (medications), `"ingrijire corporala"` (body care). - For category-wide scraping, browse comenzi.farmaciatei.ro to find the category URL and paste it into `categoryUrl`. - **Residential proxies** with Romania (`RO`) country setting provide the best reliability. - The actor automatically scrolls the page to load all products. Farmacia Tei displays many products on a single search results page. - No login or account needed. All data is from publicly accessible pages. ### Output ```json { "productName": "Ibuprofen Arena, 400 mg, 10 capsule, Arena Group", "brand": "ARENA GROUP", "price": 16.00, "currency": "RON", "originalPrice": null, "discount": null, "category": "Medicamente Otc > Reumatologie Si Traumatisme > Traumatisme Si Dureri Musculare", "inStock": true, "imageUrl": "https://media.farmaciatei.ro/gallery/12345/medium/ibuprofen-arena-400mg.png", "url": "https://comenzi.farmaciatei.ro/medicamente-otc/reumatologie-si-traumatisme/traumatisme-si-dureri-musculare/ibuprofen-arena-400-mg-10-capsule-arena-group-p364537", "productDescription": "Ibuprofen Arena este un medicament antiinflamator nesteroidian utilizat pentru ameliorarea durerii si inflamatiei...", "scrapedAt": "2026-06-09T12:00:00.000Z" } ```` Example with discount: ```json { "productName": "Gerovital H3 Derma+ Sun Crema Protectie Solara SPF50, 50 ml", "brand": "FARMEC", "price": 28.28, "currency": "RON", "originalPrice": 43.50, "discount": "- 35%", "category": "Cosmetice > Protectie Solara", "inStock": true, "imageUrl": "https://media.farmaciatei.ro/gallery/56789/medium/gerovital-h3-derma-sun.png", "url": "https://comenzi.farmaciatei.ro/cosmetice/protectie-solara/gerovital-h3-derma-sun-crema-protectie-solara-spf50-50-ml-farmec-p456789", "productDescription": "Crema cu protectie solara foarte inalta SPF50...", "scrapedAt": "2026-06-09T12:00:00.000Z" } ``` ### How much does it cost? The actor uses Playwright (browser-based crawling) which consumes more compute units than HTTP-only scrapers. Costs depend on the number of pages loaded: | Volume | Estimated CUs | Estimated Cost | |--------|--------------|----------------| | 50 products | ~0.10 | ~$0.05 | | 100 products | ~0.15 | ~$0.08 | | 500 products | ~0.60 | ~$0.30 | | 1,000 products | ~1.20 | ~$0.60 | Residential proxy costs are additional. Romanian residential proxies may add ~$0.003-0.005 per request. ### Can I integrate? Connect Romanian pharmacy data to your tools: - **Google Sheets** -- track pharmacy product prices and discounts across the Romanian market - **Slack** -- get alerts when specific health products go on sale - **Zapier / Make** -- automate pricing updates for your pharmacy or health store - **Webhooks** -- stream product data to your own health product comparison platform - **PostgreSQL / BigQuery** -- build a historical Romanian pharmacy pricing database - **Power BI** -- visualize pricing trends in Romanian pharmacy categories ### Can I use it as an API? Yes. Build Romanian pharmacy intelligence into your stack: **Python:** ```python from apify_client import ApifyClient client = ApifyClient("YOUR_API_TOKEN") run = client.actor("studio-amba/farmacia-tei-scraper").call(run_input={ "searchQuery": "vitamina C", "maxResults": 50, "proxyConfiguration": {"useApifyProxy": True, "apifyProxyGroups": ["RESIDENTIAL"]}, }) for product in client.dataset(run["defaultDatasetId"]).iterate_items(): discount = product.get('discount', 'no discount') print(f"{product['productName']} | {product['price']} RON | {discount}") ``` **JavaScript:** ```javascript import { ApifyClient } from "apify-client"; const client = new ApifyClient({ token: "YOUR_API_TOKEN" }); const run = await client.actor("studio-amba/farmacia-tei-scraper").call({ searchQuery: "vitamina C", maxResults: 50, proxyConfiguration: { useApifyProxy: true, apifyProxyGroups: ["RESIDENTIAL"] }, }); const { items } = await client.dataset(run.defaultDatasetId).listItems(); const onSale = items.filter((p) => p.originalPrice && p.originalPrice > p.price); console.log(`${onSale.length} products on sale:`); onSale.forEach((p) => { console.log(` ${p.productName} | ${p.price} RON (was ${p.originalPrice} RON, ${p.discount})`); }); ``` ### FAQ **Does Farmacia Tei sell prescription medications?** Farmacia Tei lists both OTC (over-the-counter) and prescription medications. This actor scrapes product data from public product pages. Prescription products are marked with an "RX" badge and require a medical prescription for purchase. **Is all data in Romanian?** Yes. Product names, descriptions, and categories are in Romanian. The platform serves the Romanian market exclusively. **Why do I need residential proxies?** Residential proxies, especially from Romania, provide the most reliable access to Farmacia Tei's website. They reduce the chance of being blocked or served different content compared to datacenter proxies. **Can I scrape specific categories?** Yes. Paste any Farmacia Tei category URL into the `categoryUrl` input field. For example: `https://comenzi.farmaciatei.ro/medicamente-otc/reumatologie-si-traumatisme` for rheumatology and trauma medications. **How many products can I scrape?** Farmacia Tei has over 50,000 products. The default limit is 100 products per run, configurable up to 10,000. For larger volumes, run multiple searches with different keywords or categories. **What product categories are available?** Farmacia Tei covers: OTC medications, supplements and vitamins, dermatological cosmetics, personal care, baby care, diet and wellness, sexual health, veterinary products, and medical devices. ### Limitations - The site renders product listings dynamically. The actor scrolls the page to trigger lazy loading, but some products may not load on very large result sets. - Product descriptions are extracted from detail pages when available. Listing page extraction may not include descriptions. - Prices are in RON (Romanian lei). The actor does not convert to other currencies. - Categories and product structures may change as Farmacia Tei updates their website. - Not all products have discount information -- only products currently on promotion show original prices. ### Related European pharmacy and health scrapers - [Apotea Scraper](https://apify.com/studio-amba/apotea-scraper) -- Sweden's largest online pharmacy - [Apotek Hjartat Scraper](https://apify.com/studio-amba/apotekhjartat-scraper) -- Swedish pharmacy chain with 390+ stores - [Aponeo Scraper](https://apify.com/studio-amba/aponeo-scraper) -- German online pharmacy ### Your feedback Need specific product categories, deeper medical data extraction, or price history tracking?
