Approach

The scraper first collects product links from listing/search pages using product card selectors, then visits each product page to extract full details from HTML structured data (itemprop attributes). Pagination follows next-page links automatically.

Cost

HTTP-only, about $0.30 per 1,000 products.

Notes

• galaxus.de serves the German market. galaxus.ch is a different storefront (Swiss prices in CHF). This scraper targets the .de domain.
• Search URLs follow the pattern https://www.galaxus.de/search?q=...
• Product pages require visiting for full data -- listing cards only contain partial info.

How to scrape Galaxus data

This Actor automates the process of extracting structured product data from Galaxus. You can run it directly from the Apify console, the Apify API, or any of the official SDKs (JavaScript, Python). The scraper handles pagination, retries, and rate limiting 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 proxies — residential proxies reduce blocking on protected sites
• Throttle on big jobs — keep maxConcurrency modest (5–10) for stability
• 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 Galaxus? 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 have hidden pagination or load more on scroll. Increase maxResults and verify your filters.

Can I extract data for a single product? Yes — provide the full product URL in startUrls and the scraper will return one item.

The site blocks me — what should I do? Enable Apify residential proxies in the input. Datacenter IPs are blocked by many e-commerce sites.
