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/docs.md): ```bash npm install apify-client ``` In Python projects, use official [Python client library](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.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/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 ## Intermarché Scraper — French Grocery Prices Scrape grocery products, prices, unit prices, and EAN barcodes from **intermarche.com**, one of France's largest supermarket chains. Search common French grocery keywords or a category URL and export clean, structured grocery data. ### Why use this actor? Intermarché runs thousands of stores across France and prices are store-specific, so this actor picks a store for you (by postal code or address) before reading prices, the same way a real shopper would. That makes the data directly useful for price monitoring, competitor analysis, and product matching — every product carries its EAN barcode, extracted straight from the product URL, so it's easy to line up against other retailers or your own catalogue. ### How to scrape Intermarché data 1. Enter a **search query** in French (for example `lait`, `pain`, `cafe`, or `fromage`), or provide a full **category URL** (`intermarche.com/rayons/...`) if you know exactly which category you want. 2. Set a **store address / postal code** (default: `75001 Paris`). Intermarché will not show any product without a selected store, so the actor drives the address-picker automatically. 3. Set **Max Results** to how many products you want. 4. Provide a **Bright Data Scraping Browser** endpoint (see "Anti-bot" below). 5. Run the actor. Results stream into the dataset and can be exported as JSON, CSV, Excel, or via the API. ### Input | Field | Type | Required | Description | |-------|------|----------|-------------| | `searchQuery` | String | No | French grocery keyword (default: `lait`) | | `categoryUrl` | String | No | Full `intermarche.com/rayons/...` category URL; overrides `searchQuery` | | `postalCode` | String | No | Store address / postal code (default: `75001 Paris`) | | `maxResults` | Integer | No | Maximum products to return (default: 100) | | `sbrWsCdp` | String | Yes | Bright Data Scraping Browser CDP endpoint (or set `SBR_WS_CDP` env var) | | `proxyConfiguration` | Object | No | Kept for compatibility; rendering is handled by Bright Data Scraping Browser | ### Output Each result contains: | Field | Type | Example | |-------|------|---------| | `name` | String | `"Lait demi-écrémé stérilisé UHT BIO issu de l'agriculture biologique"` | | `brand` | String | `"Pâturages, une marque Intermarché"` | | `price` | Number | `6.49` | | `currency` | String | `"EUR"` | | `pricePerUnit` | String | `"1,08 €/L"` | | `packaging` | String | `"les 6 bouteilles de 1l - 6l"` | | `ean` | String | `"3250390207467"` | | `imageUrl` | String | Primary product image URL | | `url` | String | Full product page URL | | `scrapedAt` | String | ISO 8601 timestamp | ### Example output ```json { "name": "Lait demi-écrémé stérilisé UHT BIO issu de l'agriculture biologique", "brand": "Pâturages, une marque Intermarché", "price": 6.49, "currency": "EUR", "pricePerUnit": "1,08 €/L", "packaging": "les 6 bouteilles de 1l - 6l", "ean": "3250390207467", "imageUrl": "https://cdn.intermarche.com/fr/Content/images/boitmal/produit/zoom/9F4ECB1B0A4C5525ADDCA5BC02CF6602.jpg", "url": "https://www.intermarche.com/produit/lait-demi-ecreme-sterilise-uht-bio-issu-de-l'agriculture-biologique/3250390207467", "scrapedAt": "2026-07-14T21:00:00.000Z" } ```` ### Anti-bot: Bright Data Scraping Browser required Intermarché is protected by DataDome on every path — plain HTTP requests and standard proxies get a hard 403. Unlike a simpler DataDome-protected site, Intermarché's category and product pages are also pure client-rendered JavaScript: the raw HTML carries no price data at all until the browser executes JS **and** a shopper has picked a nearby store. There is no URL-only shortcut for this — a plain HTTP fetch, even through an unblocking proxy, returns an empty page. This actor uses the [Bright Data Scraping Browser](https://brightdata.com) — a real remote Chromium session — to render the site past DataDome and drive the store-selection flow (type an address, pick the matching suggestion, confirm the store) exactly like a shopper would, once per run. You need a Bright Data account with a Scraping Browser zone. Provide the CDP endpoint either: - in the input field **Bright Data Scraping Browser endpoint**, or - as the environment variable `SBR_WS_CDP`. The actor blocks image, font, and media requests during the browser session (it only needs the page's text and image *URLs*, not the image bytes), which keeps Scraping Browser bandwidth — and cost — down on an image-heavy grocery grid. ### Cost estimate Scraping Browser is billed per GB of traffic rather than per request. With image/font/media blocking enabled, a full category page (with cookie consent, store selection, and product grid) typically transfers well under 1 MB of text/JS payload, keeping per-run cost low even though the underlying browser session is heavier than a simple HTTP fetch. ### How search resolution works There is no working free-text search URL on intermarche.com — the `/recherche` route returns a 404 even with a store selected, so this actor resolves `searchQuery` through a small keyword-to-category dictionary (`lait`, `pain`, `cafe`/`café`, `fromage`, and a few more). If a keyword isn't mapped, or a category URL turns out to be stale, the actor automatically falls back to the verified default category (`lait`) rather than failing the run. For guaranteed control over exactly which products you get, pass a `categoryUrl` directly. ### Limitations - Prices are specific to the store selected via `postalCode` and may differ from other Intermarché stores or the national average. - Free-text search is approximated through a keyword dictionary, not the site's own search — pass `categoryUrl` for precise category targeting. - A Bright Data Scraping Browser endpoint is required; without it the actor cannot render the store-selection flow or fetch any product data. - Data is scraped from the public website and may change without notice. - Respect the website's terms of service and use responsibly. ### Related Scrapers - [Carrefour Scraper](https://apify.com/store) — French grocery prices with EAN barcodes - [Monoprix France Scraper](https://apify.com/store) — French grocery prices and promotions - [Auchan Scraper](https://apify.com/store) — French grocery prices and products - [Leclerc Scraper](https://apify.com/store) — French grocery prices and products ### Need this data on a schedule, or a custom version?

Resolved to the matching Intermarché category ('rayon'). Unmapped keywords fall back to the default 'lait' category so the run still returns data. ## `categoryUrl` (type: `string`): Full intermarche.com/rayons/... category URL to scrape instead of a keyword. Takes priority over searchQuery if both are set. ## `postalCode` (type: `string`): French address or postal code used to select the nearest Intermarché store. Prices are store-specific — Intermarché will not show any product without a selected store. ## `maxResults` (type: `integer`): Maximum number of products to return. ## `sbrWsCdp` (type: `string`): CDP WebSocket endpoint for a Bright Data Scraping Browser zone. Required to bypass Intermarché's DataDome protection and render the store-selection flow. Can also be provided via the SBR\_WS\_CDP environment variable. ## `proxyConfiguration` (type: `object`): Proxy settings. Kept for compatibility — page rendering is handled by Bright Data Scraping Browser, so this does not affect scraping. ## Actor input object example ```json { "searchQuery": "lait", "postalCode": "75001 Paris", "maxResults": 20, "proxyConfiguration": { "useApifyProxy": true, "apifyProxyGroups": [ "RESIDENTIAL" ] } } ``` # API You can run this Actor programmatically using our API.
