Stockmann Scraper

Pull product data from stockmann.com, Finland's largest and only major department-store chain, founded in 1862 with its flagship on Aleksanterinkatu in Helsinki. This scraper reads the store's own search and category pages directly, so it returns clean, structured data -- brand, price, stock, category, images -- without a browser or a login.

How to scrape Stockmann data

Give the actor a Finnish search term, or a stockmann.com category URL, and it pulls product listings the same way the store's own visitors browse it. There's nothing else to configure -- no session cookies, no login, no API key.

Under the hood, stockmann.com runs on Salesforce Commerce Cloud (the same platform family as magasin.dk, illum.dk and Ahlens in this fleet). The site is fronted by Cloudflare, but the storefront page routes themselves -- both the search results page and any category page -- are not challenged: a plain request gets a full, server-rendered page back with the next batch of products, no browser needed. The backend Search-Show pipeline endpoint even redirects straight back to that plain page itself.

Each product tile on the page carries a small JSON blob (used by the site's own analytics) with name, brand, current price, stock status and category already structured -- this actor reads that directly instead of guessing at CSS selectors for visible text, so names and IDs come back exact, not parsed from formatted text. The pre-discount "was" price is not in that JSON -- it only appears in the rendered price block on tiles that carry a sale label, so this actor reads that separately and only sets originalPrice when a genuine markdown is present.

If you don't provide any input, it defaults to searching for "mekko" (Finnish for "dress") as a demo.

Search mode vs. category mode

• Search mode (default): set searchQuery to any Finnish search term. The actor searches stockmann.com the way a shopper would, e.g. "laukku" (bag), "kengät" (shoes), "neule" (knitwear).
• Category mode: set categoryUrl to a stockmann.com category page path or full URL, e.g. /muoti/naiset (women's fashion), /muoti/miehet (men's fashion), /koti (home) or /kosmetiikka (beauty), to pull every product in that department instead of running a keyword search. Filter/sort query params already on the URL (e.g. ?prefn1=availableDiscounts&prefv1=sale for sale-only) are preserved. When both searchQuery and categoryUrl are set, categoryUrl takes priority.

Locale

stockmann.com is a single Finnish-language storefront -- there is no separate Swedish or English path, even though Finland is officially bilingual. All output is in Finnish category/product names, priced in EUR.

Input

Field	Type	Description
searchQuery	string	Search term, in Finnish (e.g. "mekko", "laukku", "kengät"). Ignored if categoryUrl is set.
categoryUrl	string	Optional stockmann.com category page path or URL to scrape instead of a search, e.g. /muoti/naiset or https://www.stockmann.com/koti
maxResults	integer	Cap on number of products returned (default: 100, max: 5000)
proxyConfiguration	object	Apify proxy settings. stockmann.com's storefront page routes have no anti-bot challenge tested -- automatic Apify proxy is used by default, no residential proxy needed

Use cases

• Price monitoring -- track Stockmann's price changes over time across fashion, home and beauty, including "was" price whenever an item is genuinely on sale.
• Assortment research -- see what brands and categories Finland's largest department store carries, and at what price points.
• Stock and availability tracking -- inStock gives a live read on which items are selling through.
• Nordic market comparison -- compare Stockmann against other Nordic department stores already covered in this fleet: magasin.dk and illum.dk in Denmark, Ahlens in Sweden.

Coverage

v1 covers stockmann.com's single Finnish storefront (EUR pricing, fi_FI locale). There is no separate Swedish or English site to cover -- verified live, both /sv and /en paths 404.

Performance and cost

The scraper hits the store's own storefront pages directly -- no browser rendering, no login, no session warm-up required. A run of 100 products typically completes in well under a minute. This actor charges $0.005 per run (start fee) plus $0.002 per result -- a 100-product run costs about $0.205. Your run's usage cost only settles after the run reports SUCCEEDED -- checking cost mid-run will undercount it.

Limitations

• Keyword search or category-URL mode only, matching stockmann.com's own on-site search and category browsing. It does not accept direct product URLs.
• originalPrice reflects only a genuine on-page markdown, taken from the tile's own "Original Price" label. It is null on every non-sale item.
• v1 targets stockmann.com's single Finnish storefront (EUR) -- there is no other locale to add.
