Sweden's popular discount department store chain with 100+ locations. Supports search, category browsing, and full catalog via sitemap. - **URL**: https://apify.com/studio-amba/oob-scraper.md - **Developed by:** [Studio Amba](https://apify.com/studio-amba) (community) - **Categories:** E-commerce - **Stats:** 2 total users, 1 monthly users, 100.0% runs succeeded, NaN bookmarks - **User rating**: No ratings yet ## Pricing Pay per event This Actor is paid per event. You are not charged for the Apify platform usage, but only a fixed price for specific events.

Actors are a software tools running on the Apify platform, for all kinds of web data extraction and automation use cases. 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. In JavaScript/TypeScript projects, use official [JavaScript/TypeScript client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js.md): ```bash npm install apify-client ``` In Python projects, use official [Python client library](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python.md): ```bash pip install apify-client ``` In shell scripts, use [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md): ````bash # MacOS / Linux curl -fsSL https://apify.com/install-cli.sh | bash # Windows irm https://apify.com/install-cli.ps1 | iex ```bash In AI frameworks, you might use the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/platform/integrations/mcp.md). If your project is in a different language, use the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md). For usage examples, see the [API](#api) section below. For more details, see Apify documentation as [Markdown index](https://docs.apify.com/llms.txt) and [Markdown full-text](https://docs.apify.com/llms-full.txt). # README ## OoB Scraper Scrapes products from OoB.se (oob.se), Sweden's popular discount department store chain with 100+ locations. Sells everything from household goods to clothing at low prices. ### Technical approach OoB uses the Voyado Elevate (eSales) search API for product listings. The scraper hits this API directly for fast bulk extraction, then optionally visits individual product pages (which return JSON via a page API) for full details like specs and breadcrumbs. ### Input | Field | Type | Required | Description | |-------|------|----------|-------------| | `searchQuery` | String | No | Search keyword | | `categoryUrl` | String | No | OoB category URL | | `maxResults` | Integer | No | Product limit (default: 100) | | `proxyConfiguration` | Object | No | Proxy settings | ### Output | Field | Type | Example | |-------|------|---------| | `name` | String | `"Handduk 50x70 cm"` | | `brand` | String | Product brand (if available) | | `price` | Number | `29` | | `originalPrice` | Number | `49` | | `discount` | String | `"-41%"` | | `currency` | String | `"SEK"` | | `sku` | String | Product code | | `productId` | String | eSales product key | | `inStock` | Boolean | `true` | | `imageUrl` | String | Product image | | `imageUrls` | Array | All product images | | `description` | String | Product description | | `category` | String | Product category | | `categories` | Array | Full breadcrumb path | ```json { "name": "Handduk 50x70 cm", "price": 29, "originalPrice": 49, "discount": "-41%", "currency": "SEK", "inStock": true, "category": "Badrum", "url": "https://www.xn--ob-eka.se/handduk-50x70-cm", "scrapedAt": "2026-03-16T10:00:00.000Z" } ```` ### Domain note OoB uses an internationalized domain name. The actual URL is `https://www.xn--ob-eka.se` (punycode for oob.se). Both work, but the scraper uses the punycode version internally. ### Notes - Swedish prices in SEK - The eSales API provides pricing info including "formattedSalesInfo" with sale and original price labels - Product page JSON includes full attribute tables (specs) and breadcrumb navigation - Swedish price format: "99:-" or "69,50:-" # Actor input Schema ## `searchQuery` (type: `string`): Search for products by keyword (e.g., 'lampa', 'tvål', 'trädgård'). Uses the Voyado Elevate search API. ## `categoryUrl` (type: `string`): An ÖoB category page URL to scrape. Example: https://www.xn--ob-eka.se/heminredning/badrummet/. If empty and no search query, scrapes from catalog sitemap. ## `maxResults` (type: `integer`): Maximum number of products to return. ## `proxyConfiguration` (type: `object`): Proxy settings. The site uses Cloudflare so proxy may help with reliability. ## Actor input object example ```json { "searchQuery": "lampa", "maxResults": 100 } ``` # API You can run this Actor programmatically using our API. Below are code examples in JavaScript, Python, and CLI, as well as the OpenAPI specification and MCP server setup. ## JavaScript example ```javascript import { ApifyClient } from 'apify-client'; // Initialize the ApifyClient with your Apify API token // Replace the '' with your token const client = new ApifyClient({ token: '', }); // Prepare Actor input const input = { "searchQuery": "lampa" }; // Run the Actor and wait for it to finish const run = await client.actor("studio-amba/oob-scraper").call(input); // Fetch and print Actor results from the run's dataset (if any) console.log('Results from dataset'); console.log(`💾 Check your data here: https://console.apify.com/storage/datasets/${run.defaultDatasetId}`); const { items } = await client.dataset(run.defaultDatasetId).listItems(); items.forEach((item) => { console.dir(item); }); // 📚 Want to learn more 📖?
