T. Hansen Scraper

Scrapes product data directly from T. Hansen's Algolia search index. T. Hansen (thansen.dk) is a Danish auto parts and tools retailer with 75+ stores.

Why Algolia?

Instead of crawling HTML pages, this actor queries the same Algolia API that powers thansen.dk's frontend search. That means faster results, no rendering overhead, and full access to the structured product catalog.

Field	Type	Description
searchQuery	String	Search term (empty = browse all)
category	String	Algolia category facet filter
brand	String	Filter by brand name
maxResults	Integer	Limit (default: 100)
sortBy	String	relevance, priceAsc, priceDesc, or bestSelling
proxyConfiguration	Object	Proxy settings

Output

Each product includes name, brand, price (DKK), url, originalPrice, sku, ean, productId, inStock, rating, reviewCount, imageUrl, description, category, and specs.
