Ochsner Sport Scraper

Pull product data from ochsnersport.ch, Switzerland's largest sporting-goods retailer with stores across the country. This scraper pulls directly from Ochsner Sport's own product search API, so it returns clean, structured data -- brand, price in CHF, per-size stock, images -- without any HTML parsing.

How to scrape Ochsner Sport data

Give the actor a search term in German (e.g. "laufschuhe", "jacke", "nike") and it queries Ochsner Sport's search endpoint directly, paginating until it hits maxResults or runs out of matching products. There's nothing to configure beyond the search term -- no category URLs to hunt down, no pagination logic to babysit.

Under the hood, Ochsner Sport's storefront (built on the SCAYLE headless-commerce platform) calls an unauthenticated JSON API at api.ochsnersport.ch for every search and category browse. This actor talks to that same API directly instead of rendering pages and parsing HTML, which makes it faster and far less likely to break when Ochsner Sport tweaks its frontend markup.

If you don't provide any input, it defaults to searching for "laufschuhe" (running shoes) as a demo.

Input

Field	Type	Description
searchQuery	string	Search term, in German (e.g. "jacke", "sneaker", "wanderschuhe")
maxResults	integer	Cap on number of products returned (default: 100)
proxyConfiguration	object	Apify proxy settings. Ochsner Sport's product API has no anti-bot protection, so the default Apify proxy is sufficient -- no residential proxy needed

Use cases

• Price monitoring -- track Ochsner Sport's own price and discount changes over time on the brands and styles you sell against.
• Stock tracking -- sizes gives you per-size availability, useful for spotting which sizes sell out fastest.
• Assortment research -- see which brands and product lines Ochsner Sport is pushing, and at what CHF price points.
• Market comparison -- Ochsner Sport is the largest sporting-goods chain in Switzerland, making it a useful reference point when benchmarking sports retail pricing in the Swiss market.

Coverage

v1 covers the German-speaking Swiss storefront (ochsnersport.ch/de-ch) -- Ochsner Sport's default locale and its largest market segment within Switzerland.

Performance and cost

The scraper hits Ochsner Sport's JSON API directly -- no browser rendering, no HTML parsing -- so it's fast. A run of 100 products typically completes in well under 10 seconds and uses a fraction of a compute unit. You're billed per actor start plus per result scraped; check the current per-event pricing on this actor's page before running at scale. Your run's usage cost only settles after the run reports SUCCEEDED -- checking cost mid-run will undercount it.

Limitations

• German-speaking Swiss locale only in v1 (de-ch). French and Italian storefronts aren't covered yet.
• Ratings and review counts aren't exposed by the search API, so they're not included in the output.
• The category field is often just "Base" -- Ochsner Sport's free-text search index only exposes the root category node for most products, not a full breadcrumb, unlike some sibling sites on the same platform.
• The API's X-Charybdis header (a shop-configuration blob) was harvested from a live browsing session. It's static shop config, not a rotating secret, but if Ochsner Sport ever regenerates it, requests will start failing until the actor is updated.
• Search is keyword-based, matching Ochsner Sport's own on-site search. It does not accept direct product or category URLs.
