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 ## Farmacosmo Scraper Collect product data from [farmacosmo.it](https://www.farmacosmo.it), one of Italy's larger online pharmacies and parapharmacies. It covers supplements (integratori), over-the-counter medicines, dermocosmetics, skincare, baby and mother care, veterinary products, and beauty. This scraper returns clean, structured product records: names, brands, prices, discounts, EAN barcodes, ratings, stock status, categories, and images. No login, no cookies, no account required. ### What this actor does Point it at Farmacosmo with a search keyword or with direct category / search URLs. It walks the listing pages, follows each product link to its detail page, and reads the product's structured `Product` JSON-LD (with HTML fallbacks) to build one row per product. Because Farmacosmo runs on PrestaShop with fully server-rendered pages, the scraper uses a fast HTTP crawler (no headless browser), which keeps runs cheap and quick. ### How to scrape Farmacosmo data 1. Enter a **Search Query** in Italian, for example `vitamina c`, `integratori`, `crema viso`, or `protezione solare`. 2. Optionally paste one or more **Category or Search URLs** from the site (e.g. `https://www.farmacosmo.it/integratori/`). 3. Set **Max Results** to cap how many products you want. 4. Leave the residential Italian proxy prefilled for reliable access. 5. Run the actor. Results stream into the dataset and can be exported as JSON, CSV, Excel, or fed to an API. If you run it with no input at all, it defaults to searching `vitamina c` so you always get data back. ### Input | Field | Type | Required | Description | |-------|------|----------|-------------| | `searchQuery` | String | No | Product keyword in Italian, e.g. `"vitamina c"`, `"integratori"`, `"crema viso"` | | `categoryUrls` | Array | No | Direct Farmacosmo category or search-result URLs | | `maxResults` | Integer | No | Result limit (default: 100) | | `proxyConfiguration` | Object | No | Apify proxy settings (residential Italian IPs recommended) | Defaults to searching `"vitamina c"` if nothing is provided. #### Example input ```json { "searchQuery": "integratori", "maxResults": 100, "proxyConfiguration": { "useApifyProxy": true, "apifyProxyGroups": ["RESIDENTIAL"], "apifyProxyCountry": "IT" } } ```` ### Output | Field | Type | Example | |-------|------|---------| | `name` | String | `"Oti Oti K Vitamina K2 Gocce - Integratore alimentare 20 ml"` | | `brand` | String | `"Oti"` | | `price` | Number | `18.8` | | `originalPrice` | Number | `24.6` | | `discount` | String | `"-23,57%"` | | `currency` | String | `"EUR"` | | `pricePerUnit` | String | Unit price when shown | | `ean` | String | `"8051882690294"` | | `sku` | String | `"FRCM083588"` | | `mpn` | String | `"972686265"` | | `rating` | Number | `4.9` | | `reviewCount` | Integer | `27` | | `inStock` | Boolean | `true` | | `url` | String | Product page URL | | `imageUrl` | String | Primary product image | | `imageUrls` | Array | All gallery images | | `category` | String | `"Integratori"` | | `itemDescription` | String | Product description | | `specs` | Object | Extra attributes (e.g. weight) | | `scrapedAt` | String | ISO 8601 timestamp | #### Example output ```json { "name": "Oti Oti K Vitamina K2 Gocce - Integratore alimentare 20 ml", "brand": "Oti", "price": 18.8, "originalPrice": 24.6, "discount": "-23,57%", "currency": "EUR", "ean": "8051882690294", "sku": "FRCM083588", "mpn": "972686265", "rating": 4.9, "reviewCount": 27, "inStock": true, "url": "https://www.farmacosmo.it/integratori/oti-k-vitamina-k2-gocce-20-ml-083588/", "imageUrl": "https://www.farmacosmo.it/1813488-home_default/oti-k-vitamina-k2-gocce-20-ml-083588.jpg", "category": "Integratori", "scrapedAt": "2026-07-06T12:00:00.000Z" } ``` ### Common use cases - **Price monitoring** — track prices and discounts across supplements, medicines, and cosmetics. - **Competitive analysis** — compare Farmacosmo's assortment and pricing against other Italian and EU pharmacies. - **Catalog building** — pull names, EANs, brands, and images to seed a product database. - **Availability tracking** — watch stock status on specific products. - **Market research** — study ratings and review counts to gauge popularity. ### Cost Runs on a lightweight HTTP crawler with no browser overhead. Roughly **$1 per 1,000 products** including proxy usage. Exact cost depends on how many results you request and your proxy choice. ### Tips - Search terms are Italian: use `integratori`, `viso`, `capelli`, `solari`, `bambino`, and brand names like `La Roche-Posay` or `Collistar`. - `ean` is present on most products (the site's GTIN-13). `mpn` is the manufacturer / AIC code. - `rating` and `reviewCount` appear only on products that have customer reviews. - `originalPrice` and `discount` appear only on products currently on sale. - Prices come back as clean numbers (the site shows Italian `18,80 €` format, which is normalized to `18.8`). ### Things to keep in mind - Italian-language content throughout. - Pagination follows the site's `next` link automatically. - The scraper reads each product's structured data, so field coverage is high and stable even if the page layout shifts. - No login or cookies are needed — it only reads public product pages. ### Related Scrapers Other pharmacy and health scrapers in this collection: - [APONEO Scraper](https://apify.com/studio-amba/aponeo-scraper) — German online pharmacy - [Shop Apotheke Scraper](https://apify.com/studio-amba/shop-apotheke-scraper) — European online pharmacy - [Dr. Max Scraper](https://apify.com/studio-amba/drmax-scraper) — Central European pharmacy chain - [Apotea Scraper](https://apify.com/studio-amba/apotea-scraper) — Swedish online pharmacy - [Mifarma Scraper](https://apify.com/studio-amba/mifarma-scraper) — Spanish online parapharmacy - [Newpharma Scraper](https://apify.com/studio-amba/newpharma-scraper) — Belgian online pharmacy Need a pharmacy or e-commerce site that isn't covered yet?
