Dreamland Scraper

Extract toy products from dreamland.nl and dreamland.be: prices, recommended retail prices and discounts, EAN, article numbers, specifications, ratings and reviews, and stock in every physical store. Search by keyword, scrape by category or brand, start from any Dreamland URL, or take the whole catalogue. No API key required.

Why this scraper?

🎯 Built for Dreamland in two countries

One actor covers dreamland.nl and dreamland.be in Dutch and French. Product codes are shared across all three storefronts, so prices and stock compare directly between the Netherlands and Belgium.

🔎 Keyword search

Type a brand, a character or a product type. A brand returns its full listing, a category name returns that category, and any other term matches product names across the full catalogue. Every row records the keyword and how it matched.

💶 Prices you can analyse

Current price, the manufacturer's recommended retail price, discount in euros and percent, and promotion badges. A discount-only filter uses Dreamland's own reduced-price listing, so a discount run reads a few pages, not the whole category.

🏷️ Product identifiers

EAN barcode, Dreamland order code and the manufacturer's article number (for example the LEGO set number) on every detailed record. Match Dreamland against any other retailer or your own catalogue.

🏬 Stock in every store

With details on, each product carries the stock status of every physical Dreamland store, with store code and coordinates. See where a product is in stock, running low or sold out.

⭐ Ratings and reviews

Exact average rating, review count and the reviews shown on the product page, without reviewer names.

📦 Up to 70 fields

Specifications by stable attribute code, age grading, piece count, description in text, HTML and Markdown, manufacturer details, safety warnings and links to the same product on the other storefronts.

Input parameters

Parameter	Type	Default	Description
site	string	"nl"	nl = dreamland.nl, be-nl = dreamland.be in Dutch, be-fr = dreamland.be in French.
searchQueries	array	[]	Keywords, one per line, e.g. lego star wars, stitch, knuffel. See How keyword search works below.

brands	array	[]	Brand slugs as used in Dreamland's /m/ URLs, e.g. lego, playmobil, pokemon.
startUrls	array	[]	Any Dreamland category, sub-category, brand or product URL. Overrides categories and brands.
sortBy	string	"relevance-desc"	relevance-desc, price-asc, price-desc, sortingRating-desc or new-desc.

maxPrice	integer	(empty)	Maximum price in euros.
onlyDiscounted	boolean	false	Only products priced below their recommended retail price.
onlyNew	boolean	false	Only products marked as new.
searchProductNames	boolean	true	For keywords that are not a brand or category, also match product names. These matches are billed at the detailed rate.

Leave searchQueries, categories, brands and startUrls empty to scrape the whole catalogue (19,426 products on dreamland.nl in September 2026).

How keyword search works

Dreamland's robots.txt does not allow automated use of its site search, so this actor never calls it. Instead it resolves each keyword against the product and category sitemaps that Dreamland publishes for search engines, in three steps:

1. Brand. If the keyword is a brand (lego, playmobil, paw patrol), you get the brand's full listing first, then any other products with the keyword in their name.
2. Category. If the keyword names a category (knuffel, puzzel, trampoline), you get that category's listing. Plurals are matched, so puzzel finds Puzzels.
3. Product name. Otherwise, every product whose name contains all the words of the keyword (lego star wars, eenhoorn, fiets 16 inch). These are read from their product pages, so they come back fully detailed and are billed at the detailed rate.

Brand and category matches follow your fetchDetails setting and are billed at the listing rate unless you turn details on. The matchedBy field on each row tells you which step found it.

💰 Pricing

You only pay for products delivered to your dataset. Failed requests are never charged.

Event	Price per 1,000	When it applies
Product	$0.49	Product collected from a category, brand or catalogue page
Product with details	$2.49	Product whose product page was also opened (fetchDetails: true), and keyword matches found by product name

Products	Listing only	With details
100	~$0.05	~$0.25
1,000	~$0.49	~$2.49
10,000	~$4.90	~$24.90

Until 26 September 2026 the detailed rate is $2.19 per 1,000. Keyword matches found through product names (matchedBy: product-name) are read from their product page and billed as products with details. Turn off searchProductNames to keep keyword runs at the listing rate. A product whose page could not be loaded is billed at the listing rate, because that is what you received. A negligible $0.00005 start fee applies per run. Use Max results to cap spend.

Performance

Dreamland sits behind bot protection, so every page goes through an unblocking proxy that takes 5 to 30 seconds per page. The actor fetches pages in parallel to compensate.

Run size	Listing only	With details
100 products	about 1–2 minutes	about 4–6 minutes
1,000 products	about 6–10 minutes	about 20–30 minutes
10,000 products	about 1–1.5 hours	not recommended in one run

---

Known limitations

• Keyword search does not read product descriptions. It matches brand, category and product names, which covers most searches (stitch finds 95% of what the site's own search finds), but words that only appear in descriptions are missed. eenhoorn matches 159 product names where the site's own search reports about 340 hits.
• French keywords on dreamland.be. Dreamland publishes its Belgian sitemaps in Dutch only. Brand keywords work in both languages; product and category words should be given in Dutch, and the results are still returned from the French pages.
• The whole-catalogue listing cannot be sorted or filtered server-side. robots.txt allows only plain paging there, so filters are applied locally and read more pages. Pick categories to filter efficiently.
• Some products have no brand. Party goods and house products often carry a sub-brand (for example Pokemon) but no brand.
• Reviews are limited to those on the product page. Products with many reviews show a selection, not every review.
• Store stock is a snapshot of what the site shows at the time of the run.

---

Technical details

• Source: dreamland.nl and dreamland.be (Dutch and French), Colruyt Group's toy retailer
• Coverage: full catalogue, by category, brand or URL
• Compliance: respects robots.txt; site search and filtered root listings are never requested
• Retry: automatic retry with exponential backoff; repeated pages are detected and stop the listing
• Health: every run writes OUTPUT and HEALTH records to its key-value store
