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 ## GameMania Scraper ![GameMania Scraper](https://api.apify.com/v2/key-value-stores/lJlifu6C8YQfZMPKE/records/gamemania-scraper) Extract games from gamemania.nl at scale, in a clean, consistent structure ready for price monitoring, market research, catalogue analysis and resale tooling. No API key required. --- ### Why this scraper? #### 🎯 Built for gamemania.nl A dedicated Dutch scraper tuned for gamemania.nl — its categories, price formats and currency (EUR), not a generic tool pointed at it. #### 💶 Structured pricing Current price as a clean number in EUR, plus discounts and previous prices where the source shows them. Items without a published price return `null`, never a guess. #### 🖼️ Photos Photo URLs for every game where the source publishes them. --- ### Input parameters | Parameter | Type | Default | Description | |---|---|---|---| | `categories` | array | `["ps5"]` | Console categories to scrape. Use shortcuts (ps5, ps4, switch, switch-2, xbox-series, xbox-one, pre-orders) or a full category slug. | | `searchQueries` | array | (empty) | Keywords to search on GameMania (e.g. 'zelda', 'fifa'). Each query is scraped as a search-results listing. | | `startUrls` | array | (empty) | Direct GameMania category or search-results URLs to scrape. Overrides nothing — added on top of categories and search queries. | | `fetchDetails` | boolean | `false` | Visit each product page for full data (description, stock, platform variants, release date, breadcrumb, gallery images). Slower but richer. | | `maxResults` | integer | `5` | Maximum number of products to return across all seeds. Set 0 for no limit. | | `maxPagesPerList` | integer | `0` | Cap pagination depth per category/search. 0 = scrape until no more products. | --- ### Output schema Every field below is present on every record. Fields the source does not publish for a given item are returned as `null` rather than omitted. | Field | Type | Description | |---|---|---| | `title` | string | Item title as published. | | `url` | string | Direct link to the item. | | `price` | number | Current price (null when no price is published). | | `currency` | string | Currency code of the price. | | `platform` | string | Platform. | | `sku` | string | SKU where published. | | `image` | string | URL of the main item photo. | | `scrapedAt` | string | Timestamp when this record was scraped. | #### Example record ```json { "title": "Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds", "url": "https://www.gamemania.nl/sonic-racing-crossworlds-ps4", "price": 53.95, "currency": "EUR", "platform": "PlayStation 4", "sku": "3172", "image": "https://ik.imagekit.io/6dilrg5u3/media/iopt/catalog/product/cache/392cac465ca142347b19aa07b3c4d03f/1/3/133692_kopen_sonicracing-crossworldsps4.webp?tr=w-460,q-100,fo-webp", "scrapedAt": "2026-06-29T16:20:44.409Z" } ```` *** ### Examples **Search for PS5:** ```json { "searchQueries": [ "PS5" ], "maxResults": 100 } ``` **Filter by category or condition:** ```json { "searchQueries": [ "PS5" ], "maxResults": 100, "categories": [ [ "ps5" ] ] } ``` **Scrape a specific search URL:** ```json { "startUrls": [ { "url": "https://www.gamemania.nl/" } ], "maxResults": 200 } ``` **Daily monitoring (run on a schedule):** ```json { "searchQueries": [ "PS5" ], "maxResults": 500 } ``` Schedule this input to run once a day in the Apify Scheduler to track prices, stock and new items over time. *** ### 💰 Pricing **$0.99 per 1,000 results** — you only pay for successfully retrieved games. Failed retries are never charged. | Results | Cost | |---|---| | 100 | ~$0.10 | | 1,000 | ~$0.99 | | 10,000 | ~$9.9 | | 100,000 | ~$99 | > Flat-rate alternatives typically charge $29–$49/month regardless of usage. Subscription tiers lower the rate further, down to $0.99 per 1,000 at the highest tier. Use the **Max results** cap in the input to control your spend exactly. *** ### Performance | Run size | Typical time | |---|---| | 100 results | under 1 minute | | 1,000 results | 2–4 minutes | | 10,000 results | 20–35 minutes | *** ### Known limitations - Some fields (brand, condition, shipping) are only returned when the seller or source publishes them — expect `null` on a share of records. - Prices and stock change constantly; records reflect the moment of scraping. - Very large result sets are bounded by the source's own paging limits. - Items can sell or be withdrawn at any time, so a small share of URLs may expire shortly after scraping. *** ### Technical details - **Source:** gamemania.nl - **Coverage:** everything the public search exposes, filterable via the input parameters above - **Retry:** automatic retry on network errors with exponential backoff *** ### Need a custom scraper? **[Unfenced Group](https://www.unfencedgroup.nl)** builds Apify actors for any website — for free.
