## 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

## Norma24 Scraper — German Shop Prices, Stock & Product Data

Scrape product prices, discounts, stock availability and images from [norma24.de](https://www.norma24.de), NORMA's German online shop. Unlike NORMA's in-store grocery range, norma24.de sells general merchandise: DIY & hardware (Baumarkt), garden, furniture, household & kitchen, camping, wine, pets, clothing and electronics. Get clean structured JSON — no login, no cookies, no browser automation.

Search by keyword or browse by top-level category across an 18,000+ product catalog. Built for price monitoring, discount tracking and general-merchandise market research.

### What it does

norma24.de's own storefront loads product results client-side through a public Algolia search index. This actor queries that index directly, so you get the exact data shown to shoppers: current price, RRP (recommended retail price) when discounted, the discount percentage, per-unit pricing ("Grundpreis"), stock status and full category breadcrumb.

- **Keyword search** — pass a term (`grill`, `gartenmöbel`, `werkzeugkoffer`) to search product names and descriptions across the entire catalog.
- **Category browse** — pick one of the 8 top-level categories (Baumarkt, Möbel & Einrichtung, Camping & Freizeit, Haushalt & Küche, Tierwelt, Weine, Bekleidung, Elektronik) and get every product in it.
- **Full catalog** — leave both empty to browse the entire catalog (18,000+ products) unfiltered.

### Output

Each product is one record:

```json
{
  "name": "Edelstahl Klappgrill",
  "brand": "HC Garten & Freizeit",
  "price": 17.99,
  "currency": "EUR",
  "originalPrice": 39.99,
  "discount": "-55%",
  "pricePerUnit": "1 Stück (17.99* / 1 Stück)",
  "sku": "1117478-106739",
  "availability": "Auf Lager",
  "inStock": true,
  "deliveryTime": "ca. 3 Werktage",
  "category": "Baumarkt",
  "categories": [
    "Baumarkt",
    "Baumarkt > Garten",
    "Baumarkt > Garten > Grills und Heizstrahler",
    "Baumarkt > Garten > Grills und Heizstrahler > Holzkohle-Grills"
  ],
  "productDescription": "HC Garten & Freizeit Edelstahl Klappgrill Super leicht aufzubauen Genau das richtige für Outdoor Grill Fans Robust und ideal für alle Grillmeister, Reisende, Wanderer, Motorrad- und Quad-Fahrer ausgelegt Material aus Edelstahl...",
  "url": "https://www.norma24.de/de/p/edelstahl-klappgrill-1117478",
  "imageUrl": "https://cdn02.plentymarkets.com/qzsknj78aoey/item/images/1117478/middle/1117478-Norma-24-Holzkohlegrill-klappbar-EK-01-2127506-HC-Garten-und-Freizeit-Edelstahl-Klappgrill.jpg",
  "scrapedAt": "2026-07-27T09:51:52.343Z"
}
```

This is real output from a live test run (`searchQuery: "grill"`, `maxResults: 5`) — nothing invented.

#### Fields

| Field | Description |
|-------|-------------|
| `name` | Product name |
| `brand` | Brand / manufacturer |
| `price` | Current price as a number |
| `currency` | Always `EUR` |
| `originalPrice` | RRP (recommended retail price), when the item is discounted — `null` otherwise |
| `discount` | Discount badge (e.g. `-55%`), or `null` when not on promotion |
| `pricePerUnit` | Base price per unit (Grundpreis / "1 Stück") |
| `sku` | Article number (visible on invoices and the product page) |
| `availability` | Raw stock text from the site (e.g. `Auf Lager`) |
| `inStock` | Boolean, derived from `availability` |
| `deliveryTime` | Estimated delivery time text (e.g. `ca. 3 Werktage`) |
| `category` | Top-level category (e.g. `Baumarkt`) |
| `categories` | Full category breadcrumb levels as an array |
| `productDescription` | Product description (short version when available, else truncated long description) |
| `url` | Link to the product detail page |
| `imageUrl` | Product image URL |
| `scrapedAt` | ISO timestamp of the scrape |

Note: norma24.de does not expose EAN/GTIN barcodes or customer ratings anywhere on the site (verified on the product detail page and the search index) — these fields simply aren't available from this source.

### How to scrape Norma24 data

1. Open the actor on the Apify Store and click **Try for free**.
2. Set `searchQuery` to the German keyword you want (e.g. `werkzeugkoffer`, `hundebett`, `weihnachtsdeko`), or leave it empty and pick a `category` instead.
3. Set `maxResults` to how many products you need (default 100).
4. Run the actor. Results land in the default dataset — export as JSON, CSV, or Excel directly from Apify, or pull them via the API.
5. For ongoing price tracking, schedule the actor to run daily or weekly and diff the `price`/`discount` fields between runs.

No account, no cookies, and no browser rendering is needed — the actor talks directly to the site's own product search index.

### Input

| Field | Type | Description |
|-------|------|--------------|
| `searchQuery` | string | Keyword to search across the whole catalog. Takes priority over `category` when set. |
| `category` | string (enum) | One of the 8 top-level categories, or leave empty for the full catalog. Ignored if `searchQuery` is set. |
| `maxResults` | integer | Maximum number of products to return (default 100, max 1000). |
| `proxyConfiguration` | object | Apify proxy settings. Product data comes from a third-party Algolia domain with no anti-bot, so the default works fine — kept for consistency and resilience. |

#### Example input

```json
{
  "searchQuery": "grill",
  "maxResults": 20,
  "proxyConfiguration": {
    "useApifyProxy": true,
    "apifyProxyGroups": ["RESIDENTIAL"],
    "apifyProxyCountry": "DE"
  }
}
```

### Cost estimate

Each run makes one lightweight HTTP request per 100 products (JSON API, no page rendering). A 100-product run typically completes in a few seconds and uses well under 0.01 compute units. On the Apify Store's pay-per-event pricing, expect a fraction of a cent per product scraped — this is one of the cheapest actor types to run since there's no browser overhead at all.

### Limitations

- norma24.de is a **general merchandise shop**, not a grocery scraper — don't expect food/grocery items; the catalog spans DIY, garden, furniture, household, camping, wine, pets, clothing and electronics.
- No EAN/GTIN barcodes and no customer ratings/review counts — not exposed by the source.
- `discount` and `originalPrice` are `null` for items not currently on promotion (not a data quality issue).
- Category input is limited to the 8 top-level categories the site's own facets expose; sub-category filtering isn't currently supported (use `searchQuery` for more precise targeting).
- Prices are in EUR only (German-only site).

# Actor input Schema

## `searchQuery` (type: `string`):

Search for products by name across the whole catalog (e.g., 'grill', 'gartenmöbel', 'werkzeugkoffer'). When set, this searches across all categories and the Category input below is ignored.

## `category` (type: `string`):

Browse one top-level category instead of searching. Ignored if Search Query is set. Leave both empty to browse the full catalog.

## `maxResults` (type: `integer`):

Maximum number of products to return.

## `proxyConfiguration` (type: `object`):

Proxy settings. Product data comes from the site's own Algolia search index (a third-party domain, not norma24.de) which has no anti-bot or geo lock, so the default Apify proxy works fine.

## Actor input object example

```json
{
  "searchQuery": "grill",
  "maxResults": 20,
  "proxyConfiguration": {
    "useApifyProxy": true,
    "apifyProxyGroups": [
      "RESIDENTIAL"
    ],
    "apifyProxyCountry": "DE"
  }
}
```
