## What's an Apify Actor?

Actors are web data automations that power AI and operations. They run on the Apify platform to scrape websites, process data, connect APIs, and automate workflows.
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.

- **AI agents and MCP clients** — the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/integrations/mcp.md) at `https://mcp.apify.com` (remote, streamable HTTP, OAuth on first use).
- **Agentic workflows and local Actor development** — [Agent Skills](https://apify.com/.well-known/agent-skills/index.json) with the [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md): `npm install -g apify-cli`, then `apify login`.
- **JavaScript/TypeScript projects** — the official [JS/TS client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md): `npm install apify-client`.
- **Python projects** — the official [Python client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md): `pip install apify-client`.
- **Any other language** — the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md).

For usage examples, see the [API](#api) section below.

# README

## Kifli.hu Scraper - Hungarian Online Grocery Products & Prices

Extract grocery product data, prices, stock availability, and categories from [Kifli.hu](https://www.kifli.hu), the Hungarian online supermarket operated by Rohlik Group. Get clean, structured data in HUF, without login or cookies.

### What is Kifli.hu Scraper?

Kifli.hu Scraper collects structured product data from Kifli.hu, Hungary's premium online grocery platform. It uses Kifli'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.

Kifli.hu is the Hungarian 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 Gurkerl.at in Austria). Kifli serves the Budapest area 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 Hungary.

**Popular use cases:**

- **Grocery price monitoring** - Track prices across the Hungarian market. Detect promotions, seasonal pricing shifts, and price changes over time.
- **Competitor intelligence** - Compare Kifli's product range and pricing against Tesco, Auchan, SPAR, and other Hungarian grocery platforms.
- **Market research** - Analyze product availability, brand distribution, and category structure in the Hungarian 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 Kifli.hu 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 Hungarian. The actor queries Kifli's search API and hydrates every matching product with full details.

**Hungarian examples:** `"tej"` (milk), `"kenyér"` (bread), `"vaj"` (butter), `"csirkemell"` (chicken breast), `"sajt"` (cheese), `"alma"` (apple)

#### Option 2: Browse by category

Set `categoryId` to a Kifli 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.kifli.hu/c300113137-tejtermek-es-tojas` uses category ID `300113137`.

**Useful category IDs:**

- `300113137` - Tejtermék és tojás (Dairy & Eggs)
- `300113263` - Pékség és cukrászat (Bakery & Pastry)
- `300113038` - Zöldség és gyümölcs (Fruit & Vegetables)
- `300114760` - Hús és hal (Meat & Fish)
- `300113062` - Italok (Drinks)
- `300113035` - Tartós élelmiszer (Packaged Food)

### Input parameters

| Field | Type | Description |
|-------|------|-------------|
| `searchQuery` | string | Product name or keyword in Hungarian (e.g. `"tej"`). Ignored if `categoryId` is set. Defaults to `"tej"` when nothing is provided. |
| `categoryId` | string | Kifli category ID to browse (e.g. `"300113137"`). Takes priority over `searchQuery`. |
| `maxResults` | integer | Maximum number of products to return. Default `100`. |
| `proxyConfiguration` | object | Proxy settings. Residential proxies in Hungary are recommended. |

#### Example input

```json
{
  "searchQuery": "kenyér",
  "maxResults": 100,
  "proxyConfiguration": {
    "useApifyProxy": true,
    "apifyProxyGroups": ["RESIDENTIAL"],
    "apifyProxyCountry": "HU"
  }
}
```

#### Example input - browse a category

```json
{
  "categoryId": "300113137",
  "maxResults": 500,
  "proxyConfiguration": {
    "useApifyProxy": true,
    "apifyProxyGroups": ["RESIDENTIAL"],
    "apifyProxyCountry": "HU"
  }
}
```

### Output

Each product is a structured record. Prices are in Hungarian forint (HUF, whole numbers).

```json
{
  "name": "Jásztej Élőflórás natúr joghurt 3,5%",
  "brand": "Jásztej",
  "price": 109,

  "textualAmount": "150 g",
  "countryOfOrigin": "Magyarország",
  "scrapedAt": "2026-07-06T20:00:00.000Z"
}
```

#### Output fields

| `scrapedAt` | ISO 8601 timestamp of collection |

### How it works

The actor talks to Kifli.hu'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 Kifli's search endpoint and hydrates them the same way. This keeps output stable even when the website's front-end markup changes.

### Proxy and reliability

Residential proxies in Hungary are recommended for reliable, geo-correct pricing and availability. The default proxy configuration uses Apify Residential proxies with country `HU`. No login and no cookies are required.

### Tips

- Use Hungarian 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 are location-sensitive, so keep the proxy country set to `HU`.

### 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?**
Hungarian forint (HUF), as whole numbers.

**How many products can I scrape?**
Set `maxResults` as high as you need. 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.
