Medpex.de Scraper

Pull product data from medpex.de, a German online pharmacy. The actor returns one row per product with the current price in EUR, list price (UVP) and discount when a product is on offer, unit price, stock status, PZN, EAN barcode, seller, rating, review count, brand and category.

Medpex.de sells medicines, vitamins, skincare, baby and personal care products from around 220,000 product pages. If you track German pharmacy prices or match products across shops by PZN or barcode, this actor gives you a repeatable feed.

How to scrape Medpex.de data

There are two ways to tell the actor which products to read.

1. Paste product pages into productUrls, for example https://www.medpex.de/kytta-schmerzsalbe/10832865.
2. Leave productUrls empty and fill urlKeywords. The actor reads the public product sitemaps and keeps products whose address contains one of your words, for example kytta or sonnencreme.

The actor stops at maxResults. If you leave everything empty, it reads the first 50 products in the sitemap.

Search result pages are not read. The actor only requests product pages and the sitemaps.

Discounts

When a product is on offer, originalPrice holds the recommended retail price and discountPercent the difference. When there is no offer both fields are empty.

PZN and EAN

Medicines carry a PZN, which is also the product ID. Cosmetics and other products from marketplace partners usually carry an EAN and no PZN. The two fields are separate so you can match against either.

Marketplace sellers

Some products are sold by partners instead of medpex. seller names the seller of the shown offer and sellerCountry the country it ships from.

Cost

Pricing is per result. A run of 120 products takes under a minute. The cost only settles after the run has SUCCEEDED, so check the run's usage once it finishes.

Use cases

• Track German pharmacy prices for a brand or a category.
• Match products between Medpex.de and other European pharmacies with the PZN or EAN.
• Watch discounts, stock and ratings for health and skincare brands.
