GAMMA Scraper -- Belgian DIY & Home Improvement Data

Extract product data, prices, ratings, stock status, and technical specs from gamma.be -- Belgium's popular DIY retailer with 80+ stores, part of the Intergamma group. Bilingual output in Dutch and French.

What is GAMMA Scraper?

GAMMA is one of Belgium's go-to DIY chains, particularly strong in the Flemish market. With a product catalog spanning power tools, paint, flooring, lighting, bathroom fixtures, and garden supplies, it serves both weekend renovators and serious home builders. This scraper taps directly into GAMMA's Algolia product index, which means fast, structured data extraction without browser overhead.

Use cases where this actor delivers value:

• Price monitoring across Belgian DIY chains -- Track GAMMA's pricing against Brico, Hubo, and other Belgian competitors to spot promotions, price drops, and seasonal trends
• Product catalog analysis -- Map GAMMA's full assortment by category, brand, and price tier for market research or supplier negotiations
• Competitive intelligence for the Intergamma group -- Compare GAMMA Belgium's catalog and pricing with Praxis (Netherlands) to understand group-wide pricing strategy
• Stock availability tracking -- Monitor which products are in stock versus temporarily unavailable, useful for procurement planning
• Brand shelf-share analysis -- Measure presence for specific brands like Bosch, Levis, Karcher, or Philips across GAMMA's entire catalog

How to scrape GAMMA

Configure the actor with any combination of these inputs:

Field	Type	Description
searchQuery	String	Search by keyword -- e.g., "verf", "laminaat", "boormachine"
category	String	Filter by category -- e.g., "Verf", "Tuin", "Verlichting", "Sanitair"
brand	String	Filter by brand -- e.g., "Bosch", "Levis", "GAMMA", "Philips"
maxResults	Integer	Maximum products to return (default: 100, max: 50,000)
language	String	"nl" (Dutch, default) or "fr" (French)
proxyConfiguration	Object	Optional proxy settings for very large runs

Tips:

• Leave searchQuery empty and set only a category to browse an entire product category
• Combine category + brand for targeted extraction (e.g., all Bosch products in "Gereedschap")
• The bilingual support means you can extract the same catalog in both Dutch and French
• No proxy is needed for normal runs -- the scraper hits GAMMA's search API directly

Can I use it as an API?

Call the actor programmatically using the Apify API client:

Python:

from apify_client import ApifyClient

client = ApifyClient("YOUR_API_TOKEN")

run = client.actor("studio-amba/gamma-scraper").call(run_input={
    "searchQuery": "boormachine",
    "brand": "Bosch",
    "maxResults": 50,
    "language": "nl"
})

for item in client.dataset(run["defaultDatasetId"]).iterate_items():
    print(f"{item['name']} - EUR {item['price']}")

JavaScript:

import { ApifyClient } from 'apify-client';

const client = new ApifyClient({ token: 'YOUR_API_TOKEN' });

const run = await client.actor('studio-amba/gamma-scraper').call({
    searchQuery: 'boormachine',
    brand: 'Bosch',
    maxResults: 50,
    language: 'nl',
});

const { items } = await client.dataset(run.defaultDatasetId).listItems();
console.log(items);

FAQ

Can I scrape all GAMMA products at once? Yes. Leave searchQuery empty with no category or brand filter, set maxResults to 50000, and the actor will page through the entire catalog. Expect 15,000-25,000 products depending on current assortment.

What is the difference between Dutch and French output? Both languages return the same products -- GAMMA Belgium serves both the Flemish and Walloon markets. The language setting changes product names, descriptions, and category labels. Prices and stock status are identical.

How does GAMMA relate to Praxis and Karwei? GAMMA Belgium is part of the Intergamma group (Maxeda DIY Group). Praxis operates in the Netherlands. The stores share some private-label products but maintain separate pricing and assortments. Use both scrapers for cross-border comparison.

Does this actor work for GAMMA Netherlands (gamma.nl)? No, this scraper targets gamma.be (Belgium) specifically. The Dutch GAMMA site uses different infrastructure. For Dutch DIY data, use the Praxis Scraper instead.

How fresh is the pricing data? Data is fetched live from GAMMA's product index at the time of each run. Prices reflect the current online price including any active promotions.

Can I filter by price range? Not directly through input parameters. Scrape the products you need and filter the output dataset by price in your downstream pipeline.

Limitations

• Targets gamma.be (Belgium) only -- not gamma.nl (Netherlands)
• Specs are limited to tile-level attributes (basic dimensions, color, unit). Full technical specifications would require visiting individual product detail pages.
• Category and brand filters use exact string matching from GAMMA's Algolia facets. Check the site for exact category and brand names.
• Stock status reflects online availability, not individual store inventory
• Data is scraped from the public website and may change without notice
