What is Medi-Market?

Medi-Market is a Belgian parapharmacy chain selling beauty, skincare, health, baby and household products online and in-store, serving both the Dutch- and French-speaking communities. Products carry a CNK code — the same product identifier Belgian pharmacists use — alongside the standard EAN barcode.

Who uses this scraper:

• Price comparison platforms — track parapharmacy pricing across skincare, supplements and personal care to power comparison features.
• Brand managers & manufacturers — monitor how your products are priced and promoted at a major Belgian parapharmacy, and detect unauthorized discounting.
• Pharmacy & beauty retailers — Medi-Market is a pricing benchmark for the Belgian parapharmacy and drugstore market; know when they run promotions.
• Market researchers — analyze category sizes, brand representation and discount patterns in Belgian parapharmacy retail.

Search by keyword

The fastest way to find specific products:

{
    "searchQuery": "vitamine c",
    "language": "nl",
    "maxResults": 100
}

{
    "searchQuery": "vitamine c",
    "language": "fr",
    "maxResults": 100
}

Browse a category

Scrape an entire product category. Grab category URLs from medi-market.be navigation — the numeric id after /c/ is what the scraper reads:

{
    "categoryUrl": "https://medi-market.be/nl/lichaam-en-gezicht/c/2220",
    "maxResults": 200
}

If a categoryUrl is provided, it takes priority over searchQuery.

Tip: Medi-Market's catalog runs to a few thousand products per top-level category. Target a specific subcategory (visible in the site's left-hand filter panel) for focused scraping, or a parent category for broader coverage. Results are capped at 2000 per query — Medi-Market's own search pagination ceiling.

Choose your language

Medi-Market serves both Belgian language communities from the same catalog. Use language to read the Dutch (nl) or French (fr) product names and descriptions:

{
    "searchQuery": "creme solaire",
    "language": "fr",
    "maxResults": 50
}

How much does it cost?

Scenario	Estimated cost
100 products (search)	~$0.01
500 products (category)	~$0.03
2,000 products (full category)	~$0.10

Medi-Market Scraper reads the site's own product search index directly over plain HTTP — no browser is launched and each request returns up to 200 products, keeping the cost per result very low.

Note: a run's usage cost only settles after the run reports SUCCEEDED — the final amount can differ slightly from the live estimate shown while the run is in progress.

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

    print(f"{item['brand']} - {item['name']} -- {price_info}")

JavaScript

import { ApifyClient } from 'apify-client';

    maxResults: 50,
});

const { items } = await client.dataset(run.defaultDatasetId).listItems();
items.forEach(item => {
    const sale = item.originalPrice ? ` (was EUR ${item.originalPrice})` : '';
    console.log(`${item.brand} - ${item.name} -- EUR ${item.price}${sale}`);
});

FAQ

Does this scrape the Dutch or French Medi-Market catalog? Both. Use the language input to select "nl" for Dutch product names and descriptions or "fr" for French. The underlying catalog and prices are the same, only the language differs.

How do I find the right category URL? Browse medi-market.be, navigate to the category you want, and copy the URL from your browser's address bar (for example https://medi-market.be/nl/lichaam-en-gezicht/c/2220). The scraper reads the numeric id after /c/.

What is the CNK code? CNK ("Code National / Nationale Kode") is the identifier Belgian pharmacists and pharmacies use to reference a product, alongside the EAN barcode. It's included on nearly every Medi-Market product.

Can I track promotions and discounts? Yes. originalPrice and discountPercentage are populated whenever a product is discounted against Medi-Market's reference price.

Are results limited? Yes, to 2000 products per search or category — this matches the pagination ceiling on Medi-Market's own search results.

Limitations

• Product data is read from Medi-Market's own product search index. If Medi-Market changes its catalog structure, some fields may temporarily return empty.
• Ratings and review counts are not available from the source and are not included in the output.
• Very large category scrapes are capped at 2000 products, matching Medi-Market's own search pagination limit.
• Data reflects the public storefront and may change without notice.
