XXL Sport Finland Scraper

Scrapes products from XXL Sport Finland (xxl.fi), Finland's largest sports retailer. Covers running, skiing, cycling, outdoor, gym, team sports, and more.

Extract product names, brands, prices, discounts, stock status, ratings, and images by keyword search or category — no login, no cookies, no account required.

What it does

Give the actor a Finnish search term (for example juoksukengät for running shoes) or a category URL, and it returns clean, structured product data ready for price monitoring, competitive research, or catalog building.

Prices are returned in EUR. Product data comes straight from XXL's own storefront search API, so results match what shoppers see on the site.

Dual extraction strategy

The scraper first calls XXL Finland's Elevate storefront search API (Voyado Elevate v3) for structured product data. Every product returns typed fields — brand, title, selling price, list price, stock, rating, and images — so field coverage is high and stable.

If the API doesn't return results for a given input, it falls back to CheerioCrawler with __NEXT_DATA__ extraction and JSON-LD parsing from the Next.js frontend.

Input

Field	Type	Description
searchQuery	String	Finnish search term (e.g. juoksukengät, sukset, polkupyörä)
categoryUrl	String	Category URL (e.g. https://www.xxl.fi/juoksu/juoksukengat/c/100304). Overrides search query
maxResults	Integer	Maximum products to return (default: 100)
proxyConfiguration	Object	Proxy settings. Residential proxies scoped to Finland recommended

If you provide no input at all, the actor runs a default search so it always returns data.

2. Next.js __NEXT_DATA__ — SSR page props with product objects
3. JSON-LD Product schema from HTML
4. OpenGraph meta tags as a last resort

2. Click Try for free to open it in Apify Console.

4. Click Start and wait for the run to finish.

You can also schedule regular runs, set up webhooks for real-time notifications, or integrate the results directly into your application using the Apify API.

Cost and performance

The Elevate API returns up to 48 products per request, so listing scrapes are fast and cheap. It costs $0.02 per run plus $0.002 per result — about $2.02 for 1,000 results.

Tips and tricks

• Use Finnish keywords: the site is Finnish, so juoksukengät returns far more than running shoes.
• Start small: test with maxResults: 5 before running large scrapes.
• Use Finland proxies: residential proxies scoped to Finland give the best success rates.
• Schedule runs: set up recurring runs to keep your price data fresh automatically.

• No login required: this actor scrapes publicly available data without needing an account.
