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.

Supports Germany (.de), Poland (.pl), Hungary (.hu), and Turkey (.com.tr) — covering 4,500+ physical stores and 20,000+ online products. ### What is Rossmann Scraper? Rossmann is Europe's second-largest drugstore chain, with stores in Germany, Poland, Hungary, Turkey, Czech Republic, Albania, Kosovo, and Spain. Their online shops carry thousands of products across beauty, skincare, health, baby care, household cleaning, food, and personal hygiene categories. This scraper extracts structured product data directly from Rossmann's websites using headless browser automation. It handles Rossmann's anti-bot protection automatically, delivering clean JSON output with prices, brands, descriptions, EAN codes, and stock information. No login or account needed. **Common use cases:** - **Competitive pricing analysis** — Compare Rossmann prices against dm, Mueller, Douglas, or online pharmacies across European markets - **Beauty and skincare market research** — Track product launches, pricing trends, and brand performance in Europe's drugstore sector - **Private-label intelligence** — Monitor Rossmann's house brands (Isana, Alterra, Babydream, Domol, Prokudent) and their pricing relative to branded alternatives - **FMCG analytics** — Study fast-moving consumer goods across four European markets from a single scraper - **Product catalog building** — Feed structured product data (EAN codes, images, prices) into your e-commerce platform or comparison engine - **Cross-market price comparison** — Compare the same products across Germany, Poland, Hungary, and Turkey to spot pricing differences ### What data does Rossmann Scraper extract? For each product, the scraper returns: - **Product name** — Full product name as displayed on Rossmann - **Brand** — Manufacturer or brand name (Isana, Alterra, L'Oreal, Nivea, etc.) - **Price** — Current selling price in local currency (EUR, PLN, HUF, TRY) - **Original price** — Pre-discount price when a product is on sale - **Discount** — Percentage discount label (e.g., "-25%") - **Category** — Product category or breadcrumb path - **In stock** — Whether the product is available for purchase - **Image URL** — Direct link to the primary product image - **Product URL** — Full link to the product page on Rossmann - **Description** — Product description text - **EAN** — European Article Number (barcode) for product identification - **Scraped at** — Timestamp of when the data was collected ### How to scrape Rossmann data 1. **Go to the Rossmann Scraper** page on Apify and click "Try for free" 2. **Enter a search query** — Type any product keyword in German (for .de), Polish (for .pl), Hungarian (for .hu), or Turkish (for .tr). Examples: "shampoo", "zahnpasta", "mascara", "windeln" 3. **Or paste a category URL** — Copy a Rossmann category page URL and paste it into the "Category URL" field. This overrides the search query. 4. **Select a country** — Choose which Rossmann store to scrape from: Germany, Poland, Hungary, or Turkey 5. **Set the result limit** — Adjust "Max Results" to control how many products you want (default: 100) 6. **Run the scraper** — Click "Start" and wait for results. Data is available in JSON, CSV, Excel, or through the Apify API ### Input parameters | Parameter | Type | Description | |-----------|------|-------------| | `searchQuery` | string | Product search keyword (e.g., "shampoo", "mascara"). Defaults to "shampoo" if empty. | | `categoryUrl` | string | Direct Rossmann category URL. Overrides search query when provided. | | `maxResults` | integer | Maximum products to extract (1-10,000, default: 100). | | `country` | string | Country store: `de` (Germany), `pl` (Poland), `hu` (Hungary), `tr` (Turkey). Default: `de`. | | `proxyConfiguration` | object | Proxy settings. Residential proxies recommended for best results. | ### Example output ```json { "productName": "ISANA Shampoo Glossy Glanz", "brand": "ISANA", "price": 1.29, "currency": "EUR", "originalPrice": 1.69, "discount": "-24%", "category": "Pflege & Duft > Haarpflege > Shampoo", "inStock": true, "imageUrl": "https://www.rossmann.de/medias/product-image.jpg", "url": "https://www.rossmann.de/de/pflege-und-duft/isana-shampoo-glossy-glanz-300ml/123456", "productDescription": "Das ISANA Shampoo Glossy Glanz verleiht dem Haar seidigen Glanz...", "ean": "4305615123456", "scrapedAt": "2026-06-09T10:00:00.000Z" } ```` ### Supported countries | Country | Domain | Currency | Example search terms | |---------|--------|----------|---------------------| | Germany | rossmann.de | EUR | shampoo, zahnpasta, windeln, mascara | | Poland | rossmann.pl | PLN | szampon, pasta do zebow, pieluchy | | Hungary | rossmann.hu | HUF | sampon, fogkrem, pelenka | | Turkey | rossmann.com.tr | TRY | sampuan, dis macunu, maskara | ### Tips for best results - **Use native-language keywords** — Rossmann websites are in their local language. Use German terms for .de, Polish for .pl, etc. - **Start with category URLs for large extractions** — Category pages are more reliable than search when you want complete product listings from a specific segment - **Residential proxies deliver the best results** — Rossmann uses anti-bot protection. The default residential proxy configuration works well. - **Combine with dm Scraper for full market coverage** — Use both Rossmann Scraper and dm Scraper together to get complete German drugstore market data ### Integrations and API access Connect Rossmann Scraper to your workflow via: - **Apify API** — Trigger runs programmatically and fetch results in JSON format - **Webhooks** — Get notified when a scraping run completes - **Integrations** — Connect to Google Sheets, Slack, Zapier, Make, or any webhook-compatible service - **Scheduled runs** — Set up automatic scraping on a daily, weekly, or custom schedule ### Pricing This actor uses pay-per-result pricing. You only pay for the data you extract, plus a small per-run fee. Check the Pricing tab for current rates. ### About Rossmann Rossmann (Dirk Rossmann GmbH) was founded in 1972 in Hanover, Germany.
