## Pricing

from $1.20 / 1,000 result scrapeds

This Actor is paid per event. You are not charged for the Apify platform usage, but only a fixed price for specific events.
Since this Actor supports Apify Store discounts, the price gets lower the higher subscription plan you have.

## What's an Apify Actor?

An Actor is a serverless cloud program that runs on the Apify platform. It has two run modes.
In Batch mode, an Actor accepts a well-defined JSON input, performs an action which can take anything from a few seconds to a few hours,
and optionally produces a well-defined JSON output, datasets with results, or files in key-value store.
In Standby mode, an Actor provides a web server which can be used as a website, API, or an MCP server.

Apify vocabulary and the platform model are defined once, in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md.

## How to integrate an Actor?

If asked about integration, you help developers integrate Actors into their projects.
You adapt to their stack and deliver integrations that are safe, well-documented, and production-ready.

Do not guess an integration path. Every one of them is in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md: the Apify MCP server, Agent Skills with the Apify CLI, the JavaScript and Python clients, the REST API, and the account-free path for an agent with no human to sign in. It also carries the rule on stating cost before the first paid run.

For examples already wired to this Actor's own input schema, see the [API](#api) section below.

Each client library has reference documentation the quickstart does not restate: [JavaScript/TypeScript](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md) (`npm install apify-client`) and [Python](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md) (`pip install apify-client`).

# README

## Zbozi.cz Scraper

Scrape product prices, merchant offers, ratings, and reviews from Zbozi.cz -- the Czech Republic's leading price comparison engine owned by Seznam.cz. Extract structured data from search results and product detail pages.

### How to scrape Zbozi.cz data

Zbozi.cz is the largest Czech price comparison website, aggregating offers from thousands of online shops across the Czech Republic. This actor lets you extract structured product and pricing data from search results and category pages without any login or cookies.

1. Go to the actor's input page.
2. Enter a search query in Czech or English (e.g., "notebook", "iPhone 16", "pračka").
3. Optionally provide a category URL to scrape a specific product category.
4. Set the maximum number of results you want.
5. Enable "Include Detail Pages" for richer data including merchant offers.
6. Click "Start" and wait for the run to finish.
7. Download your data in JSON, CSV, or Excel format.

The actor reads the same product data Zbozi.cz shows on its category pages and in its search results, and returns it as clean, structured records.

### Features

- Search by keyword across all Zbozi.cz product categories
- Browse specific category pages for targeted scraping
- Extract lowest and highest prices across all merchants
- Get the number of merchant offers per product
- Product ratings (percentage scale) and review counts
- Optional detail page scraping for full merchant lists
- Each merchant offer includes shop name, price, availability, and shipping info
- Automatic pagination to collect large result sets
- Multi-strategy extraction: JSON-LD structured data with DOM fallback
- No cookies or login required
- Czech residential proxy support for reliable access

```

### Cost estimate

The actor uses PlaywrightCrawler (headless browser) for reliable rendering of Zbozi.cz pages.

- \~100 results (listing only): approximately $0.05-0.10 in platform costs
- \~100 results (with detail pages): approximately $0.20-0.50 in platform costs
- \~1,000 results (listing only): approximately $0.30-0.60 in platform costs
- Residential proxy usage adds to the cost depending on data transfer

For most use cases, a single run costs under $1.00.

### Limitations

- Zbozi.cz may rate-limit aggressive scraping -- Czech residential proxies are recommended.
- Product prices change frequently; data reflects the moment of scraping.
- The actor extracts data from Zbozi.cz public pages. Some product details may only be available on individual product pages.
- Merchant offers are only extracted when `includeDetailPages` is enabled, which makes runs slower.
- Very broad queries may return many results across categories. Use specific queries or category URLs for focused data.
- The HTML structure of Zbozi.cz may change without notice, which could temporarily affect data extraction.

### Tips for best results

- **Use Czech language queries** -- "notebook" works well, but "přenosný počítač" may give different results
- **Use category URLs** -- for comprehensive category scraping, copy the URL from Zbozi.cz directly
- **Start small** -- test with `maxResults: 10` before running large scrapes
- **Enable detail pages selectively** -- only when you need merchant offers, as it significantly increases run time
- **Use CZ residential proxies** -- Zbozi.cz is a Czech site and works best with Czech IP addresses

### Use cases

- **Price monitoring** -- track product prices across Czech e-shops via Zbozi.cz
- **Competitive analysis** -- compare your prices against the Czech marketplace
- **Market research** -- analyze product availability and pricing trends in the Czech Republic
- **Lead generation** -- find Czech e-shops and retailers for business development
- **Data enrichment** -- enhance product databases with up-to-date Czech pricing from multiple merchants
- **Price comparison** -- build your own Czech price comparison tools using structured data

# Actor input Schema

## `searchQuery` (type: `string`):

```bash
echo '{
  "searchQuery": "notebook",
  "maxResults": 5,
  "proxyConfiguration": {
    "useApifyProxy": true,
    "apifyProxyGroups": [
      "RESIDENTIAL"
    ],
    "apifyProxyCountry": "CZ"

apify call studio-amba/zbozi-cz-scraper --silent --output-dataset

```

## MCP server setup

```json
{
    "mcpServers": {
        "apify": {
            "type": "http",
            "url": "https://mcp.apify.com/?tools=fetch-actor-details,studio-amba/zbozi-cz-scraper"
        }
    }
}
```

The hosted server signs you in with OAuth on first connect, so no API token belongs in this config. Clients without OAuth support can send an `Authorization: Bearer <APIFY_API_TOKEN>` header instead, using a token from API & Integrations in Apify Console (https://console.apify.com/settings/integrations).
