Solebox Scraper

Pull product data from solebox.com, a German sneaker and streetwear retailer known for sneaker culture and hot releases. This scraper pulls directly from Solebox's own product search API, so it returns clean, structured data -- brand, price in EUR, per-size stock, images -- without any HTML parsing.

How to scrape Solebox data

Give the actor a search term in German (e.g. "sneaker", "jordan", "jacke") and it queries Solebox's search endpoint directly, paginating until it hits maxResults or runs out of matching products. There's nothing to configure beyond the search term -- no category URLs to hunt down, no pagination logic to babysit.

Under the hood, Solebox's storefront (built on the SCAYLE headless-commerce platform) calls an unauthenticated JSON API at api.solebox.com for every search and category browse. This actor talks to that same API directly instead of rendering pages and parsing HTML, which makes it faster and far less likely to break when Solebox tweaks its frontend markup.

If you don't provide any input, it defaults to searching for "sneaker" as a demo.

Input

Field	Type	Description
searchQuery	string	Search term, in German (e.g. "jordan", "sneaker", "jacke")
maxResults	integer	Cap on number of products returned (default: 100)
proxyConfiguration	object	Apify proxy settings. Solebox's product API has no anti-bot protection, so the default Apify proxy is sufficient -- no residential proxy needed

Use cases

• Price monitoring -- track Solebox's own price and discount changes over time on the sneaker releases and streetwear brands you sell against.
• Stock tracking -- sizes gives you per-size availability, useful for spotting which sizes sell out fastest on hot releases.
• Assortment research -- see which brands and product lines Solebox is pushing, and at what EUR price points.
• Market comparison -- Solebox is a well-known German sneaker specialist, making it a useful reference point when benchmarking sneaker/streetwear retail pricing in the German market.

Coverage

v1 covers the German storefront (solebox.com/de-de) -- Solebox's default locale, confirmed live (the homepage redirects straight to /de-de/).

Performance and cost

The scraper hits Solebox's JSON API directly -- no browser rendering, no HTML parsing -- so it's fast. A run of 100 products typically completes in well under 10 seconds and uses a fraction of a compute unit. You're billed per actor start plus per result scraped; check the current per-event pricing on this actor's page before running at scale. Your run's usage cost only settles after the run reports SUCCEEDED -- checking cost mid-run will undercount it.

Limitations

• German locale only in v1 (de-de). Solebox also serves other European markets under en-eu paths; those aren't covered yet.
• Ratings and review counts aren't exposed by the search API, so they're not included in the output.
• The API's X-Charybdis header (a shop-configuration blob) was harvested from a live browsing session. It's static shop config, not a rotating secret, but if Solebox ever regenerates it, requests will start failing until the actor is updated.
• Search is keyword-based, matching Solebox's own on-site search. It does not accept direct product or category URLs.
