XXL Sport Sweden Scraper

Scrapes products from XXL Sport Sweden (xxl.se), Sweden's largest sports retailer. Covers running, skiing, cycling, outdoor, gym, hunting, and team sports.

Extract product names, brands, current and original prices, ratings, stock status, images, and product URLs at scale, with no login or cookies required.

What this actor does

XXL.se is a Next.js storefront backed by an Elevate (Apptus eSales) search API. This actor queries that API directly for fast, structured product data, and falls back to HTML parsing when needed. You give it a Swedish search keyword or a category URL, and it returns clean JSON rows.

Data extraction strategy

The scraper first queries XXL's Elevate Storefront API v3 for structured product data (title, brand, price, rating, stock, images). If the API returns nothing, it falls back to a CheerioCrawler that parses product pages using JSON-LD and OpenGraph meta tags.

Input

Field	Type	Description
searchQuery	String	Swedish search term (e.g. löparskor, skidor, cykel)
categoryUrl	String	Category URL (e.g. https://www.xxl.se/skor/c/100305)
maxResults	Integer	Limit (default: 100)
proxyConfiguration	Object	Proxy settings (residential, Sweden recommended)

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

Data sources (in priority order)

2. JSON-LD Product schema from the product page HTML
3. OpenGraph meta tags as a last resort
