Technical approach

Zooplus Spain runs on Next.js. Listing and category pages embed a structured JSON-LD product list containing names, brands, prices, list prices, unit prices, ratings, and availability. Search result pages render product cards directly in the server HTML. The scraper reads both, so it collects complete product records straight from listing pages without needing a separate request per product. This keeps runs fast and cheap.

How to scrape Zooplus data

1. Go to this actor's page on the Apify Store.
2. Click Try for free to open it in Apify Console.
3. Enter a Spanish search query (for example pienso perro) or paste one or more category URLs from Zooplus.es.
4. Set the maximum number of results and, for best reliability, keep the proxy set to residential with country ES.
5. Click Start and wait for the run to finish.
6. Download your data in JSON, CSV, or Excel, or connect it to your workflow via the Apify API.

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.

Example use cases

• Price monitoring — track pet food prices and discounts across brands.
• Competitive intelligence — compare Zooplus.es pricing against your own.
• Assortment tracking — monitor which products and variants are listed.
• Market research — analyse ratings and review counts to spot best sellers.

Cost and performance

The cost depends on the number of results and the pages scraped. As a rough guide:

• Listing/search extraction: roughly 0.25 compute units per 1,000 results.
• Because full records come from listing pages, no per-product request is needed, keeping runs efficient.

The actual cost depends on your Apify subscription plan. Check the Apify pricing page for details.
