Pharm24.gr Pharmacy Scraper (Greece)

Extract pharmacy product data from pharm24.gr, one of Greece's largest online pharmacies. Give the actor a search keyword and get back clean JSON with product names, brands, prices, EAN barcodes, categories, and stock status.

This is a price and catalogue scraper. It reads the same product data pharm24.gr already publishes on its own pages (name, price, brand, barcode, stock). It does not sell, prescribe, or fulfil anything — and like every Greek online pharmacy, pharm24.gr's own catalogue is limited to OTC medicines, supplements, cosmetics, and parapharmacy products, since prescription-only medicines cannot legally be sold online in Greece.

How to scrape Pharm24 data

1. Enter a search query in Greek, for example παυσιπονο (painkiller), βιταμινη c, or αντιηλιακο (sunscreen).
2. Alternatively, provide Start URLs pointing at a specific category or brand page (e.g. https://www.pharm24.gr/bioderma-m-186.html) to scrape that listing directly instead of searching.
3. Set maxResults for how many products you want back.
4. Leave fetchProductDetails on (the default) for full data — brand, EAN barcode, category, description, and an accurate stock flag all come from the product page itself, not the search results grid.
5. Run the actor. Results land in the dataset as one JSON object per product, in the order pharm24.gr's own search relevance ranking returns them.

If you leave the search query empty, the actor falls back to a broad default keyword (παυσιπονο) so a run always returns data.

Why use this actor

• Price monitoring: track OTC medicine, supplement, and parapharmacy prices at one of Greece's largest online pharmacies.
• Barcode matching: every result carries an EAN/GTIN barcode (read from the site's own schema.org product data), so you can match pharm24.gr's assortment against other pharmacies, price comparison feeds, or your own catalogue.
• Discount tracking: both the current selling price and the pre-discount list price (Π.Λ.Τ. — the Greek "recommended retail price" marking) are returned, so you can see which products are on promotion and by how much.
• Stock checks: with fetchProductDetails on, each product carries an in-stock flag read from the site's own availability data.

No login, no cookies, and no browser automation. The actor reads the site's own server-rendered pages, which makes runs fast and cheap. pharm24.gr sits behind Cloudflare, but recon confirmed it serves plain HTML with no JavaScript challenge — no residential proxy required.

Input

Field	Type	Description
searchQuery	string	Product keyword in Greek. Falls back to παυσιπονο when empty. Ignored if startUrls is set.
startUrls	array	Optional list of category, brand, or product page URLs to scrape directly instead of searching. Max 50.
maxResults	integer	Maximum products to return. Default 100, hard cap 5,000.
fetchProductDetails	boolean	ON by default. Fetches each product's detail page (one extra request per item) for brand, EAN, category, description, and an accurate stock flag. Turn OFF for a faster, cheaper run that only returns name, price, and URL — brand/EAN/category/inStock will be null.
proxyConfiguration	object	Apify proxy settings. The default automatic pool suffices; no residential proxy is needed.

Example input

{
    "searchQuery": "βιταμινη c",
    "maxResults": 100,
    "fetchProductDetails": true
}

Example input — specific brand page

{
    "startUrls": [
        { "url": "https://www.pharm24.gr/bioderma-m-186.html" }
    ],
    "maxResults": 50
}

Output

One JSON object per product:

Field	Example	Notes
name	"Bioderma Hydrabio Serum 72h Moisturising Booster 40ml"	Full product name including size/pack
brand	"Bioderma"	Only populated when fetchProductDetails is on
price	19.11	Current selling price
currency	"EUR"	Always EUR
originalPrice	25.19	Pre-discount list price, null when the item isn't discounted
ean	"3701129811757"	EAN/GTIN barcode. Only populated when fetchProductDetails is on
sku	"074428"	Site-internal product code
category	"Εταιρείες > Bioderma"	Breadcrumb path as pharm24.gr states it. Only populated when fetchProductDetails is on
inStock	true	true, false, or null when the site doesn't state one. Only meaningful when fetchProductDetails is on — note the default search results already exclude out-of-stock items, so a listing-only run tells you nothing either way about stock
rating	4.5	Out of 5, where the site shows a rating
reviewCount	14	Number of reviews, where shown
url	"https://www.pharm24.gr/bioderma-..."	Product page URL
imageUrl	"https://cdn.pharm24.gr/images/..."	Product image

Cost estimate

Pricing is Pay-Per-Event: a flat fee per run plus a small fee per result. With fetchProductDetails on (the default), each result costs one search-page request (shared across up to 200 results) plus one product-page request — still cheap, since there's no anti-bot tax on this site. With fetchProductDetails off, each result is essentially free beyond the shared search-page fetch. Either way, a run's usage cost only settles after the run reports SUCCEEDED — checking Apify's cost estimate mid-run will show a number far below the final total.

Limitations / known issues

• brand, ean, category, description, and an accurate inStock flag require fetchProductDetails to be on (the default). With it off you only get name, price, originalPrice, url, imageUrl, and (where shown) rating/reviewCount.
• startUrls runs fetch exactly the URLs given and do not auto-paginate beyond that page — use searchQuery for a run that walks multiple result pages.
• Prescription-only medicines are not part of pharm24.gr's own online catalogue (Greek law does not allow selling them online), so this actor never encounters or returns them.
• Product descriptions are truncated to 2000 characters to keep dataset rows manageable.
