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 ## Reichelt Scraper Scrape electronic components and tech products from reichelt.de, Germany's large electronics distributor. This scraper uses Playwright (browser automation) because Reichelt's site requires JavaScript rendering and has anti-bot protections. ### How it works The scraper launches a headless Chrome browser, navigates to search results or category pages, extracts product links, then visits each product detail page. It reads pricing from meta tags, extracts article numbers and EAN codes from page text, and pulls specs from technical data tables. Images and fonts are blocked for speed. ### Input | Field | Type | Description | |-------|------|-------------| | `searchQuery` | string | Search term (e.g., `"raspberry pi"`, `"led stripe"`) | | `categoryUrl` | string | Reichelt category URL | | `maxResults` | integer | Limit (default: 100) | | `proxyConfiguration` | object | Proxy settings (recommended) | One of `searchQuery` or `categoryUrl` is required. ### Output | Field | Type | Example | |-------|------|---------| | `name` | string | `"RASPBERRY PI 5 8GB"` | | `brand` | string | `"Raspberry Pi"` | | `price` | number | `84.50` | | `currency` | string | `"EUR"` | | `sku` | string | `"RASP PI 5 B 8GB"` | | `ean` | string | `"5056561803319"` | | `inStock` | boolean | `true` | | `deliveryInfo` | string | `"ab Lager, Lieferzeit 1-2 Werktage"` | | `url` | string | Product URL | | `imageUrl` | string | From cdn-reichelt.de | | `description` | string | Product description | | `specs` | object | Technical specifications table | | `category` | string | `"Einplatinencomputer"` | ### Cost Playwright-based, so more expensive than HTTP scrapers. Expect ~200 products per $1. ### Technical notes - Cookie banner dismissed automatically ("Nur notwendige Cookies") - Article numbers found near "Artikel-Nr.:" text - EAN/GTIN extracted from "EAN/GTIN:" text patterns - Brand from manufacturer link or "Hersteller" spec field - Product URLs use `/shop/produkt/` pattern ### Why use Reichelt Scraper - **Price monitoring** — Track prices, stock, and promotions across Reichelt at scale - **Competitive intelligence** — Compare your catalog against Reichelt pricing and assortment - **Market research** — Analyze category trends, new arrivals, and rating distributions - **Lead generation** — Build product datasets for affiliate sites, comparison tools, or feeds - **No login or cookies required** — Authenticated access not needed; works out of the box ### How to use Reichelt Scraper 1. Open the **Input** tab and provide a search query, category URL, or product list 2. Adjust optional filters such as `maxResults` or proxy settings 3. Click **Start** and wait for the run to complete 4. Download results from the **Output** tab in JSON, CSV, Excel, XML, or HTML 5. Schedule recurring runs from the **Schedule** tab if you need ongoing data ### How to scrape Reichelt data This Actor automates the process of extracting structured product data from Reichelt. You can run it directly from the Apify console, the Apify API, or any of the official SDKs (JavaScript, Python). The scraper handles pagination, retries, and rate limiting so you can focus on the data, not the plumbing. Typical workflows: - **One-off export**: paste a category URL or keyword, set `maxResults`, and run - **Scheduled monitoring**: set a daily cron in the Schedule tab to track prices over time - **Programmatic integration**: trigger runs from your backend via the Apify API and pull the dataset when finished - **Webhook automation**: receive a callback the moment a run completes and pipe the results into Zapier, Make, n8n, BigQuery, or Google Sheets ### Tips for best results - **Start small** — run with `maxResults: 10` before launching large jobs - **Use proxies** — residential proxies reduce blocking on protected sites - **Throttle on big jobs** — keep `maxConcurrency` modest (5–10) for stability - **Schedule runs** — daily runs are usually enough for price monitoring - **Inspect the dataset schema** — the Storage tab shows the full output structure ### FAQ and support **Is it legal to scrape Reichelt?** This Actor extracts publicly available data. Always review the website's Terms of Service before scraping at scale, and respect rate limits. **Why am I getting fewer results than expected?** Some categories have hidden pagination or load more on scroll. Increase `maxResults` and verify your filters. **Can I extract data for a single product?** Yes — provide the full product URL in `startUrls` and the scraper will return one item. **The site blocks me — what should I do?** Enable Apify residential proxies in the input. Datacenter IPs are blocked by many e-commerce sites. For issues, feature requests, or bug reports, open a ticket in the Issues tab on the Actor page or contact support@apify.com. We monitor every actor and ship fixes quickly when sites change. # Actor input Schema ## `searchQuery` (type: `string`): Search for products by name or keyword (e.g., 'raspberry pi', 'arduino', 'lötstation').
