What is Gurkerl.at Scraper?

Gurkerl.at Scraper collects structured product data from Gurkerl.at, Austria's online grocery platform. It uses Gurkerl's internal REST API to extract product details, pricing, stock levels, and full category paths, so you get clean structured data without parsing unreliable HTML.

Gurkerl.at is the Austrian brand of Rohlik Group, Central Europe's fast-growing online grocery company (the same platform behind Rohlik.cz in the Czech Republic, Knuspr.de in Germany, and Kifli.hu in Hungary). Gurkerl serves the Vienna area and beyond with a catalogue of thousands of fresh and packaged grocery products and fast delivery windows. That makes it one of the richest structured grocery data sources in Austria.

Popular use cases:

• Grocery price monitoring - Track prices across the Austrian market. Detect promotions, seasonal pricing shifts, and price changes over time.
• Competitor intelligence - Compare Gurkerl's product range and pricing against Billa, Spar, Hofer, and other Austrian grocery retailers.
• Market research - Analyze product availability, brand distribution, and category structure in the Austrian online grocery segment.
• Supply chain analysis - Monitor stock levels and availability patterns to understand supply dynamics.
• Food industry research - Study product ranges, brand penetration, and pricing strategies in a fast-growing online grocery market.

How to scrape Gurkerl data

There are two ways to collect data: search by keyword, or browse a category. You can also leave the input empty and the actor returns a default set of products.

Option 1: Search by keyword

Set searchQuery to any product name or keyword in German. The actor queries Gurkerl's search API and hydrates every matching product with full details.

German examples: "Milch" (milk), "Brot" (bread), "Butter" (butter), "Hühnerbrust" (chicken breast), "Käse" (cheese), "Apfel" (apple)

Option 2: Browse by category

Set categoryId to a Gurkerl category ID to page through an entire category. A category ID takes priority over a search query.

Find category IDs in category page URLs. For example https://www.gurkerl.at/c555-milch-milchprodukte uses category ID 555.

Useful category IDs:

• 555 - Milch & Milchprodukte (Dairy & Eggs)
• 507 - Kühlregal (Fridge)
• 26 - Obst & Gemüse (Fruit & Vegetables)
• 269 - Fleisch & Fisch (Meat & Fish)
• 482 - Brot & Gebäck (Bread & Bakery)
• 219 - Getränke (Drinks)
• 583 - Tiefkühlprodukte (Frozen)

Input parameters

Field	Type	Description
searchQuery	string	Product name or keyword in German (e.g. "Milch"). Ignored if categoryId is set. Defaults to "Milch" when nothing is provided.
categoryId	string	Gurkerl category ID to browse (e.g. "555"). Takes priority over searchQuery.
maxResults	integer	Maximum number of products to return. Default 100, hard-capped at 20000 per run.
proxyConfiguration	object	Proxy settings. Apify Proxy (automatic) is sufficient — Gurkerl.at has no anti-bot protection.

Example input

{
  "searchQuery": "Brot",
  "maxResults": 100,
  "proxyConfiguration": {
    "useApifyProxy": true
  }
}

How it works

The actor talks to Gurkerl.at's own REST API rather than scraping rendered HTML. For a category, it fetches the list of product IDs, then hydrates each ID with parallel calls for product details, prices, stock, and category paths, and merges them into one flat record. For a search query, it reads product IDs from Gurkerl's JSON search endpoint and hydrates them the same way. This keeps output stable even when the website's front-end markup changes.

Proxy and reliability

Gurkerl.at was verified live with a clean 200 response and no anti-bot wall, so Apify's automatic proxy is enough — no residential proxy needed. No login and no cookies are required.

Cost per run

This actor is billed per result (pay-per-event). A run's usage cost only settles once the run reports status SUCCEEDED — reading the dataset mid-run or after a failed run will undercount the actual cost estimate. Cost scales with maxResults: every 25 products triggers one batch of four parallel API calls (details, prices, stock, categories), so larger runs use proportionally more compute and proxy bandwidth per result.

Tips

• Use German keywords for the best search results.
• A categoryId returns an entire category and is the most complete way to collect a full product range.
• Raise maxResults to collect deeper category pages; lower it for quick samples.
• Prices and availability reflect Gurkerl's live catalogue at the time of the run.

Frequently asked questions

Do I need an account or login? No. The actor uses public API endpoints. No login or cookies are needed.

What currency are prices in? Euro (EUR).

How many products can I scrape? Set maxResults as high as you need, up to the 20000 hard cap per run. Category browsing pages through the full catalogue of a category.

Is search or category browsing better? Search is best for a specific keyword. Category browsing is best for collecting a complete product range.

Does the actor work if I leave the input empty? Yes. An empty input {} falls back to a default dairy search so you always get sample data.
