Gigantti.fi Scraper

Scrapes Finland's largest electronics retailer, Gigantti.fi (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 Finnish sibling of the Elgiganten (Denmark) and Elgiganten (Sweden) scrapers. It runs on the same platform and extraction approach, tuned for the Finnish market: euro (EUR) prices, Finnish stock and rating labels, and Finnish category paths.

What it extracts

Gigantti.fi is a client-rendered storefront. The scraper loads each result page, dismisses the Finnish cookie banner, and reads product cards after hydration. For every product it returns the name, brand, current price, availability, rating, category, and image.

Finnish shops display both an incl-VAT consumer price and an excl-VAT price (alv. 0%). 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 (Norm.) and the saving (Säästä).

Input

Field	Type	Required	Description
searchQuery	String	Conditional	e.g. "puhelin", "jääkaappi", "samsung tv"
categoryUrl	String	Conditional	e.g. https://www.gigantti.fi/tuotteet/puhelimet-tabletit-ja-alykellot/puhelimet
maxResults	Integer	No	Default: 100
proxyConfiguration	Object	No	Proxy settings (Finland 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.

Cost

Listing mode reads roughly 40+ 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 euros (EUR)
• Ratings are only present for products that have been reviewed; unrated items omit the field
• Availability reflects the Finnish stock labels (saatavilla verkkokaupasta, Loppuunmyyty)
• Category is derived from the product URL path (Finnish 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

How to scrape Gigantti.fi data

This Actor automates the process of extracting structured product data from Gigantti.fi. 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 Finnish proxies — a Finland residential proxy returns local pricing and stock
• Use native keywords — Finnish terms like jääkaappi, kannettava, televisio 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 Gigantti.fi? 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? Euros (EUR), 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 Finland residential proxies. Datacenter IPs are blocked by many e-commerce sites.
