The Actor is free to use, and you only pay for the Apify platform usage, which gets cheaper the higher subscription plan you have.

Actors are a software tools running on the Apify platform, for all kinds of web data extraction and automation use cases. 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. Actors are written with capital "A". ## 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. The best way to integrate Actors is as follows. In JavaScript/TypeScript projects, use official [JavaScript/TypeScript client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js.md): ```bash npm install apify-client ``` In Python projects, use official [Python client library](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python.md): ```bash pip install apify-client ``` In shell scripts, use [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md): ````bash # MacOS / Linux curl -fsSL https://apify.com/install-cli.sh | bash # Windows irm https://apify.com/install-cli.ps1 | iex ```bash In AI frameworks, you might use the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/platform/integrations/mcp.md). If your project is in a different language, use the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md). For usage examples, see the [API](#api) section below. For more details, see Apify documentation as [Markdown index](https://docs.apify.com/llms.txt) and [Markdown full-text](https://docs.apify.com/llms-full.txt). # README ## Zap.co.il Price Comparison Scraper Scrape product listings and price comparisons from [zap.co.il](https://www.zap.co.il), Israel's largest price-comparison platform. One row per product model with the lowest published store price, brand, image, rating, category, and Zap Choice flag. Works across every category on zap (electronics, appliances, fashion, home, beauty, sports, etc.). Search in Hebrew or English. ### Input | Field | Type | Default | Notes | |---|---|---|---| | `keyword` | string (required) | `"iphone"` | Free-text search. Hebrew or English. Examples: `"iphone 15"`, `"מקרר"`, `"Sony WH-1000XM5"`. | | `maxItems` | integer | `100` | Cap on distinct product models. The actor paginates until it hits this or runs out of results. | | `minPrice` | integer | none | Filter: drop products whose lowest store price is below this (ILS). | | `maxPrice` | integer | none | Filter: drop products whose lowest store price is above this (ILS). | ### Output Each row represents one product model on zap.co.il: ```json { "modelId": "1221182550", "name": "אפל אייפון Apple iPhone 17 Pro Max 256GB", "url": "https://www.zap.co.il/model.aspx?modelid=1221182550", "imageUrl": "https://img.zap.co.il/pics/...", "minPrice": 4234, "currency": "ILS", "brand": "Apple", "categoryCode": "phones_cellphones", "popularityScore": 0.92, "popularityPercent": 92, "singleStoreName": null, "isZapChoice": true, "page": 1, "scrapedAt": "2026-06-07T15:48:12.913Z" } ```` `singleStoreName` is set only when the model is sold by a single store (zap's "one store" card layout). Multi-store products leave it null and `minPrice` is the cheapest across all listed stores. `minPrice` is null when zap's card shows no price (discontinued, hidden stores, or a placeholder card). It is never a partial estimate. ### How it works The actor fetches zap's HTML search results through an Israel residential proxy (zap blocks datacenter IPs). It pulls structured data from each card's `data-*` attributes and reads the lowest price directly from `card-v2__price-amount`. Pagination uses zap's own `/models.aspx?sog=&pageinfo=N` URLs after extracting the category code from page 1. ### Limits - Some pages may trip Cloudflare's bot challenge; the actor retries up to 3 times with fresh proxy sessions per page before giving up on that page. - Zap shows roughly 28 products per page. Very high `maxItems` (over a few hundred) will take minutes to crawl. - Prices are the on-card snapshot. Live store prices may change between the scrape and a click-through. ### Use cases - Pricing intelligence: monitor your model or your competitor's across all Israeli retailers. - Market basket research: cheapest TV with rating >= 4 in a category. - Catalog enrichment: pull brand, image, and rating to enrich a product database. - Trend tracking: snapshot daily and watch price drops. # Actor input Schema ## `keyword` (type: `string`): Free-text search in Hebrew or English. Examples: 'iphone 15', 'מקרר', 'Sony WH-1000XM5', 'מזגן 2 כס', 'PlayStation 5'. ## `maxItems` (type: `integer`): Maximum number of distinct product models to return. Each page on zap.co.il holds ~28 products; the actor paginates until it hits this number or runs out of results. No upper cap — set as high as you need. ## `minPrice` (type: `integer`): Filter out products whose lowest store price is below this. Optional. ## `maxPrice` (type: `integer`): Filter out products whose lowest store price is above this. Optional. ## Actor input object example ```json { "keyword": "iphone", "maxItems": 100 } ``` # API You can run this Actor programmatically using our API. Below are code examples in JavaScript, Python, and CLI, as well as the OpenAPI specification and MCP server setup. ## JavaScript example ```javascript import { ApifyClient } from 'apify-client'; // Initialize the ApifyClient with your Apify API token // Replace the '' with your token const client = new ApifyClient({ token: '', }); // Prepare Actor input const input = { "keyword": "iphone" }; // Run the Actor and wait for it to finish const run = await client.actor("swerve/zap-scraper").call(input); // Fetch and print Actor results from the run's dataset (if any) console.log('Results from dataset'); console.log(`💾 Check your data here: https://console.apify.com/storage/datasets/${run.defaultDatasetId}`); const { items } = await client.dataset(run.defaultDatasetId).listItems(); items.forEach((item) => { console.dir(item); }); // 📚 Want to learn more 📖?
