## Pricing

from $2.00 / 1,000 results

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?

Actors are web data automations that power AI and operations. They run on the Apify platform to scrape websites, process data, connect APIs, and automate workflows.
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.

- **AI agents and MCP clients** — the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/integrations/mcp.md) at `https://mcp.apify.com` (remote, streamable HTTP, OAuth on first use).
- **Agentic workflows and local Actor development** — [Agent Skills](https://apify.com/.well-known/agent-skills/index.json) with the [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md): `npm install -g apify-cli`, then `apify login`.
- **JavaScript/TypeScript projects** — the official [JS/TS client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md): `npm install apify-client`.
- **Python projects** — the official [Python client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md): `pip install apify-client`.
- **Any other language** — 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

## Chollometro Deals Scraper

Turn Chollometro listings into structured deal data for price monitoring, promotion research, market analysis, and automated alerts. This Apify Actor extracts prices, comparison prices, discounts, voucher codes, merchants, categories, shipping details, community temperature, status, and source links without running a browser.

Provide a feed, search phrase, or Chollometro listing URLs. Results are deduplicated by stable `threadId` and saved to the default Apify dataset for JSON, CSV, Excel, XML, RSS, HTML, or JSONL export.

With no feed or start URLs, the Actor uses the live Popular feed at `/populares`. The Featured homepage feed remains available with `feed: "featured"`.

### Why use this Actor?

- Track hot, new, popular, or most-voted deals from Spain's Chollometro community.
- Monitor product and merchant promotions with numeric price and discount fields.
- Find voucher codes and community-validated offers for editorial or affiliate workflows.
- Schedule repeat runs and connect clean dataset records to webhooks, Make, Zapier, or your own API client.
- Optionally resolve Chollometro visit links to final merchant destinations.

### Use cases

- Price and promotion monitoring
- Competitive retail research
- Deal discovery and alerting
- Coupon and voucher aggregation
- Merchant and category trend analysis
- Content research for shopping newsletters and social channels

### Input example

Search for LEGO deals from the last 30 days, save up to 100 unique records, and resolve merchant links:

```json
{
  "feed": "search",
  "query": "LEGO",
  "maxItems": 100,
  "maxPages": 5,
  "sortBy": "temp",
  "priceFrom": 10,
  "priceTo": 200,
  "temperatureFrom": 100,
  "timeFrame": 30,
  "hideExpired": true,
  "hideLocal": false,
  "requestDelayMs": 500,
  "resolveRedirectUrls": true,
  "proxyConfiguration": {
    "useApifyProxy": true,
    "apifyProxyGroups": ["RESIDENTIAL"],
    "apifyProxyCountry": "ES"
  }
}
```

You can also bypass feed construction with Chollometro listing or search URLs:

```json
{
  "startUrls": [
    { "url": "https://www.chollometro.com/populares" },
    { "url": "https://www.chollometro.com/search?q=playstation" }
  ],
  "maxItems": 200,
  "maxPages": 4
}
```

| `temperatureFrom`, `temperatureTo` | number | empty | Minimum and maximum community temperature filters. |
| `timeFrame` | integer | empty | `7`, `30`, `365`, or `0` for all time. |
| `hideExpired` | boolean | `false` | Exclude expired deals through Chollometro's filter. |
| `hideLocal` | boolean | `false` | Exclude local-only deals through Chollometro's filter. |
| `proxyConfiguration` | object | Spain residential Apify Proxy | Proxy settings used for page and redirect requests. |
| `requestDelayMs` | integer | `0` | Delay between listing page requests. |
| `resolveRedirectUrls` | boolean | `false` | Follow visit redirects and populate `resolvedRedirectUrl`. |

### Output example

```json

  "mainImage": {

    "name": "1907981_1",
    "uid": "1907981_1.png",
    "ext": "png",
    "width": 2406,
    "height": 3000
  },
  "user": {
    "userId": 521773,
    "username": "DealUser",
    "title": "member",
    "isBanned": false
  },
  "scrapedAt": "2026-06-04T17:00:00.000Z"
}
```

`resolvedRedirectUrl` is omitted when redirect resolution is disabled. A failed redirect produces `null` while other records continue processing.

### How it works

The Actor requests server-rendered Chollometro listing HTML with a persistent cookie jar, reads structured `ThreadMainListItemNormalizer` payloads embedded in `data-vue3` attributes, normalizes records, paginates, and deduplicates by `threadId`. Non-homepage routes receive a homepage warm-up request first.

### Limitations

- Only `chollometro.com` and `www.chollometro.com` start URLs are accepted.
- Chollometro controls filter semantics and may change supported query values or page markup.
- Cloudflare or site rate limits can block requests. Spain-targeted residential proxies and conservative delays reduce risk but cannot guarantee access.
- This HTTP scraper has no browser fallback. A markup or embedded-payload change can require a parser update.
- Redirect resolution adds one request per saved deal. Merchant failures return `resolvedRedirectUrl: null` rather than failing the run.
- Deal fields reflect source data at scrape time; nullable values mean Chollometro did not provide that value.

### Local development

```bash
pnpm install --frozen-lockfile
pnpm test
CHOLLOMETRO_USE_FIXTURE=1 apify run -i '{"maxItems":10,"maxPages":1}'
```

Legacy local inputs containing `useFixture: true` remain supported for deterministic tests. Fixture mode is internal and absent from public input schema. `APIFY_IS_AT_HOME=1` always disables fixture mode, even if stale input or environment settings request it.

Project uses pnpm 10.30.0. Do not use npm to install dependencies.
