Shop Apotheke AT Scraper

Scrape product data from Shop Apotheke Austria (shop-apotheke.at), the Austrian online pharmacy of the Redcare Pharmacy group. Get product names, brands, prices, list prices, PZN codes, ratings, review counts, stock status, images and categories. No login, no cookies.

What this actor does

Shop Apotheke is one of Austria's largest online pharmacies, with a catalogue of medicines, health, beauty and personal-care products. This actor searches that catalogue by keyword and returns a clean, structured record for every matching product, straight from the store's own search backend.

You give it a German search term (for example aspirin, vitamin d, or nasenspray) and a result limit. It returns the same products a shopper sees on the site, with pricing, discounts, PZN pharmacy codes, ratings and availability, ready to export as JSON, CSV or Excel, or to feed into your own pipeline.

Why use this actor?

• Price monitoring — track medicine and health-product prices across the Austrian market.
• Competitor benchmarking — compare Shop Apotheke Austria against other pharmacies (see Related Scrapers below).
• Product matching — match by PZN (Pharmazentralnummer), the pharmacy product code, exposed on nearly every result.
• Market research — pull ratings, review counts and discounts to see what sells and how it is positioned.
• Catalogue building — assemble a health-and-beauty product feed with images and categories.

No account is required. The actor reads the store's public product search directly, so results are fast and stable run after run.

How to scrape Shop Apotheke Austria data

1. Add this actor to your Apify account.
2. Set searchQuery to a German keyword, for example aspirin, vitamin d, magnesium or nasenspray. Leave it empty and the actor defaults to aspirin so a blank run still returns data.
3. Set maxResults to cap the run (default 100, prefilled 20 for a quick test).
4. Optionally set a proxy. The search API is public and works without one, but a residential AT proxy is available as a safety valve.
5. Run the actor. Results stream to the dataset and can be exported as JSON, CSV, Excel or pulled via the API.

The actor queries the store's Algolia-powered product search, pages through the results up to your limit, deduplicates by product id, and writes one row per product.

About PZN

Austrian pharmacy products carry a PZN (Pharmazentralnummer), the central pharmaceutical number used to identify a specific pack. This actor returns it in the sku field, so you can join Shop Apotheke Austria data against other pharmacy sources or your own catalogue by PZN. EAN/GTIN barcodes are not exposed by the store, which is normal for pharmacy listings.

Prices and discounts

• price is the current selling price in EUR.
• originalPrice is the list/strike-through price, present only when it is higher than the selling price (so you can compute the discount).
• pricePerUnit is the base price per unit (for example per tablet or per 100 ml), useful for comparing pack sizes.

Notes and limitations

• Search-based. The actor scrapes by keyword. Broad terms return more products; specific terms return fewer, more relevant ones.
• Result window. A single keyword returns up to roughly 1,000 products (the search backend's pagination window). For a fuller pull, run several targeted queries.
• Austrian storefront. This actor targets the Austrian (AT_de) storefront on shop-apotheke.at, with Austrian pricing and availability. For the German market, use the Shop Apotheke Scraper linked below.
• No prescription checkout. This reads public product data only; it does not place orders or handle prescriptions.

FAQ

Do I need an account or cookies? No. The actor reads the store's public product search directly.

Which country does this cover? The Austrian storefront (shop-apotheke.at), prices in EUR with Austrian availability.

How do I match products across pharmacies? Use the sku field, which holds the PZN pharmacy code.

Can I scrape the whole catalogue? Run a set of category or keyword queries. Each query returns up to about 1,000 products, so split broad ranges into narrower terms for full coverage.
