## Pricing

from $1.20 / 1,000 result scrapeds

This Actor is paid per event. You are not charged for the Apify platform usage, but only a fixed price for specific events.
Since this Actor supports Apify Store discounts, the price gets lower the higher subscription plan you have.

## 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

## Oda Scraper — Norway Grocery Prices & Products

Scrape product data from [Oda](https://oda.com) (formerly Kolonial.no),
Norway's dominant online grocery delivery service, by keyword: names,
brands, prices in NOK, unit prices, discounts, stock status and images.

### Why use this actor?

Oda is the biggest online grocery in Norway — the equivalent of Tesco in
the UK or REMA 1000 in Denmark for online delivery. There is no existing
Apify actor covering it. If you're building a Nordic grocery price
comparison tool, tracking NOK grocery inflation, monitoring your own
products' pricing and promotions on Oda, or feeding grocery data into a
meal-planning or budgeting app, this actor gives you structured product
data without writing any scraping code yourself.

### How to scrape Oda data

1. Enter a Norwegian search keyword (`searchQuery`), e.g. `melk`, `kaffe`,
   `brød`, `ost`, `pasta`. Leave it blank and the actor falls back to a
   sensible default so it still returns data.
2. Set `maxResults` to the number of products you want (default 100).
3. Run the actor. It calls Oda's own public search API directly — no
   browser, no login, no cookies required.
4. Download results as JSON, CSV, or Excel from the Dataset tab, or pull
   them via the Apify API.

Under the hood, this actor calls Oda's public JSON search endpoint
(`oda.com/api/v1/search/mixed/`) rather than parsing rendered HTML — it's
faster, cheaper to run, and returns cleaner, more reliable data than
scraping the page.

### Input

| Field | Type | Required | Description |
|-------|------|----------|-------------|
| `searchQuery` | String | No | Norwegian search keyword (e.g. `"melk"`, `"kaffe"`, `"brød"`). Falls back to `"melk"` if left empty so a blank run still returns data. |
| `maxResults` | Integer | No | Maximum number of products to return (default: 100, hard cap: 5000). |
| `proxyConfiguration` | Object | No | Apify proxy settings. Oda's search API has no anti-bot and is not geo-locked, so the free automatic proxy pool is enough — no residential proxy needed. |

### Output

Each result contains:

| Field | Type | Example |
|-------|------|---------|
| `name` | String | `"Tine Lettmelk 1% fett"` |
| `brand` | String | `"TINE"` |
| `price` | Number | `31.9` |
| `currency` | String | `"NOK"` |
| `originalPrice` | Number | `70.2` (only present on discounted items) |
| `pricePerUnit` | String | `"18.23 kr/l"` |
| `discount` | String | `"Salg!"` (only present on discounted items) |
| `size` | String | `"1% fett, 1,75 l"` |
| `inStock` | Boolean or null | `true` — `false` = out of stock, `null` = the source didn't state availability |
| `sku` / `productId` | String | `"8143"` |
| `imageUrl` | String | Primary product image URL |
| `url` | String | Full product page URL |
| `scrapedAt` | String | ISO 8601 timestamp |

Note: Oda's API does not expose an EAN/barcode field for any product — this
is a limitation of the source data, not the actor.

### Example output

```json
{
    "name": "Tine Lettmelk 1% fett",
    "brand": "TINE",
    "price": 31.9,
    "currency": "NOK",
    "pricePerUnit": "18.23 kr/l",
    "size": "1% fett, 1,75 l",
    "inStock": true,
    "sku": "8143",
    "productId": "8143",
    "imageUrl": "https://images.oda.com/local_products/7fa76433-c802-4e86-b529-d6c9f0f9b478.jpg",
    "url": "https://oda.com/no/products/8143-tine-tine-lettmelk-1-fett/",
    "scrapedAt": "2026-08-21T14:10:15.983Z"
}
```

A discounted item also carries `originalPrice` and `discount`:

```json
{
    "name": "Friele Frokostkaffe Filtermalt",
    "brand": "Friele",
    "price": 41.9,
    "currency": "NOK",
    "originalPrice": 70.2,
    "discount": "Salg!",
    "pricePerUnit": "167.60 kr/kg",
    "size": "Filtermalt, 250 g",
    "inStock": true,
    "sku": "469",
    "productId": "469",
    "url": "https://oda.com/no/products/469-friele-frokostkaffe-filtermalt/",
    "scrapedAt": "2026-08-21T14:10:28.953Z"
}
```

### Cost estimate

This actor uses roughly **$0.002 per result plus a small per-run start fee**
(pay-per-event pricing, no compute-unit billing to track). A run of 1,000
products costs about $2. Each result is one Oda API call amortized across a
30-item page — there is no per-product detail fetch, so cost scales linearly
and predictably with `maxResults`. Note: a run's usage cost only settles
after the run reports SUCCEEDED — checking the dataset mid-run will show a
cost far below the eventual total.

### Limitations

- Oda's API does not publish EAN/GTIN barcodes for any product.
- `category` is not populated — Oda's search endpoint doesn't return category
  breadcrumbs (only its separate per-product detail endpoint does, at the
  cost of one extra request per item, which this actor doesn't make in v1).
- The search endpoint returns a fixed 30 items per page; this is a hard
  limit on Oda's side, not something the actor can override.
- Data is scraped from the public website and may change without notice.
- Respect Oda's terms of service and use responsibly.

Keyword to search the Oda catalogue in Norwegian (e.g. 'melk', 'kaffe', 'brød'). Leave empty to browse the full catalogue.

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

Maximum number of products to return across all result pages. Hard-capped at 5000 per run to keep runs predictable.

The hosted server signs you in with OAuth on first connect, so no API token belongs in this config. Clients without OAuth support can send an `Authorization: Bearer <APIFY_API_TOKEN>` header instead, using a token from API & Integrations in Apify Console (https://console.apify.com/settings/integrations).
