Skroutz Scraper - Products & Prices from Greece's Largest Marketplace

Extract product data, prices, ratings, and seller information from Skroutz.gr -- Greece's dominant price comparison platform with 25-35 million monthly visits and over 9 million products.

What is Skroutz Scraper?

Skroutz Scraper collects structured product data from Skroutz.gr, Greece's equivalent of PriceRunner or Idealo. It navigates category pages, follows pagination, and extracts rich structured data including product names, lowest prices across sellers, customer ratings, review counts, and product images.

Skroutz is more than a price comparison site -- it's a full marketplace where millions of Greeks shop daily. With integrated checkout ("Skroutz Marketplace"), buyer protection, and a massive product catalog spanning electronics, fashion, home goods, and groceries, Skroutz controls a significant share of Greek e-commerce. Their product data represents the definitive source for Greek market pricing.

Popular use cases:

• Price monitoring -- Track the lowest available price across hundreds of Greek sellers for any product category. Skroutz aggregates prices from thousands of merchants.
• Competitor intelligence -- Monitor how Greek retailers price products relative to each other. See which shops compete on which categories.
• Market research -- Analyze the Greek consumer electronics, fashion, or home goods market using Skroutz's comprehensive catalog data.
• MAP enforcement -- Match products by name across Greek and EU retailers to monitor Minimum Advertised Price compliance.
• Review analysis -- Access customer ratings and review counts for consumer sentiment analysis in the Greek market.

How to scrape Skroutz data

Option 1: Search by keyword

Set searchQuery to any product name or keyword. Skroutz redirects searches to the most relevant category page, and the scraper follows automatically.

Examples: "laptop", "samsung galaxy", "playstation", "asus rog", "iphone 16"

Option 2: Browse categories

Provide Skroutz category page URLs directly:

• https://www.skroutz.gr/c/25/laptop.html -- All laptops
• https://www.skroutz.gr/c/40/kinitatilefona.html -- All smartphones
• https://www.skroutz.gr/c/21/othones.html -- All monitors
• https://www.skroutz.gr/c/1271/plyntiria-roychon.html -- Washing machines
• https://www.skroutz.gr/c/58/psygeia.html -- Refrigerators

You can also provide direct product URLs (/s/{id}/slug.html) to scrape individual items.

Option 3: Empty input

Running the actor with no input ({}) defaults to searching for "laptop", so it always returns data.

Input parameters

Field	Type	Default	Description
searchQuery	String	--	Keyword search (Skroutz redirects to best matching category)
categoryUrls	Array	--	Category page URLs to scrape
maxResults	Integer	100	Maximum products to return (up to 100,000)
maxPages	Integer	5	Max pagination pages per category (~50 products/page)
proxyConfiguration	Object	GR residential	Proxy settings (residential proxy required)

Tips:

• Skroutz uses Cloudflare protection. Residential proxies from Greece are required for reliable scraping.
• Each listing page shows approximately 50 products with full JSON-LD structured data.
• With maxPages: 5, you get up to ~250 products per category.
• For full catalog dumps, increase maxPages to 50+ and set a high maxResults.

How much does it cost?

Skroutz Scraper uses PlaywrightCrawler (browser-based) to handle Cloudflare protection. Costs are higher than HTTP-only scrapers but still very affordable.

Scenario	Products	Pages	Estimated cost	Time
Quick search	50	1	~$0.05	~30 sec
Category scrape	250	5	~$0.20	~3 min
Large category	1,000	20	~$0.70	~10 min
Multi-category dump	5,000	100	~$3.00	~45 min

The scraper extracts up to ~50 products per page from JSON-LD structured data. The main cost driver is the browser rendering and residential proxy usage required by Cloudflare.

Can I integrate?

Skroutz Scraper connects to the full Apify integration ecosystem:

Can I use it as an API?

Use Skroutz Scraper as a Greek marketplace product API. Start runs, poll for results, and process data in your application.

Python

client = ApifyClient("YOUR_API_TOKEN")

run = client.actor("studio-amba/skroutz-scraper").call(run_input={
    "searchQuery": "laptop",
    "maxResults": 50,
})

for item in client.dataset(run["defaultDatasetId"]).iterate_items():
    rating = item.get("rating", "N/A")
    reviews = item.get("reviewCount", 0)
    print(f"{item['name']} -- EUR {item['price']} ({rating}/5, {reviews} reviews)")

JavaScript

import { ApifyClient } from "apify-client";

const client = new ApifyClient({ token: "YOUR_API_TOKEN" });

const run = await client.actor("studio-amba/skroutz-scraper").call({
  categoryUrls: [
    { url: "https://www.skroutz.gr/c/40/kinitatilefona.html" },
  ],
  maxResults: 200,
  maxPages: 10,
});

const { items } = await client
  .dataset(run.defaultDatasetId)
  .listItems();

items.forEach((item) => {
  console.log(`${item.name} -- EUR ${item.price}`);
});

FAQ

Why does Skroutz require residential proxies?

Skroutz uses Cloudflare protection that blocks datacenter IPs and basic HTTP requests. Greek residential proxies are required to reliably access the site. The scraper is pre-configured with the right proxy settings.

What is the difference between Skroutz and other price comparison sites?

Skroutz is Greece's dominant marketplace -- it's not just a price comparison engine. It has integrated checkout ("Skroutz Marketplace"), buyer protection, delivery tracking, and a massive product catalog. Think of it as Greece's Amazon combined with PriceRunner.

Can I scrape product reviews?

The current version extracts the overall rating (0-5 scale) and total review count from the listing pages. Full review text extraction from individual product pages may be added in future versions.

Can I scrape seller/shop prices?

Skroutz shows the lowest available price across all sellers on the listing page. Individual shop prices are on the product detail page, which is behind heavier Cloudflare protection. The extracted price is always the lowest available price.

What categories can I scrape?

Skroutz covers virtually every consumer product category: electronics, computers, smartphones, home appliances, fashion, beauty, sports, toys, automotive, groceries, and more. Browse categories at https://www.skroutz.gr/c/1269/technology.html to find category URLs.

Limitations

• Cloudflare protection -- Skroutz uses Cloudflare which requires browser rendering and residential proxies. This makes the scraper slower and more expensive than HTTP-only scrapers.
• Product detail pages -- Individual product pages have heavier Cloudflare challenges. The scraper focuses on listing pages which provide rich structured data for all products.
• Greek language -- Product names and categories are primarily in Greek. Brand names and technical specifications are typically in English.
• Rate limiting -- Aggressive scraping with high concurrency may trigger additional Cloudflare challenges. The scraper uses conservative settings (concurrency: 1) for reliability.
• Seller details -- Individual seller/shop pricing requires visiting product detail pages, which may be blocked by Cloudflare.

Other European price comparison scrapers

Build a cross-border view of European product pricing by combining Skroutz data with these companion scrapers:

• Trovaprezzi Scraper -- Italy's leading price comparison site with millions of products across all categories.
