Mercateo (Unite) Scraper: B2B products, net prices and EAN

Scrape Mercateo, now Unite, the German B2B procurement marketplace with 36 million articles from thousands of suppliers (office supplies, IT, tools, safety equipment, electrical, lab, cleaning, packaging). Search by keyword or paste category and product links, and get every product's name, manufacturer, manufacturer part number, EAN/GTIN, net price per unit, number of supplier offers and image. Turn on product details (the default) for every supplier offer shown with its price, shipping and delivery time, quantity price tiers (net and gross), shipping costs, return terms, specifications and category path. Filter by price, manufacturer and number of offers. No login, no cookies, no Mercateo account.

How to use it

1. Enter one or more keywords, e.g. akku bohrschrauber, nitrilhandschuhe, bürostuhl, or a manufacturer part number. German terms find the most.
2. Optionally filter by net price, manufacturers or minimum number of offers.
3. Set Max products and run.

A broad keyword such as Arbeitsschutz or Bürobedarf opens a category overview on Mercateo; the scraper then searches its sub-categories.

Prices are net (excl. VAT), as Mercateo shows them; grossPrice adds German VAT. Fields marked "with product details" in the dataset schema are filled when Include product details is on. Every row has the same columns; a value the page doesn't state is null.

Use cases

• Price monitoring for B2B sellers and distributors: track net prices, quantity tiers and the number of competing offers for your products, by EAN or part number.
• Procurement and sourcing: compare suppliers' offers, delivery times and shipping costs before you buy.
• Product data enrichment: EAN/GTIN, manufacturer part numbers and full specifications for your catalogue.
• Market research: see which brands and how many suppliers cover a category, and at what price levels.

FAQ

Do I need a Mercateo account, cookies or a login? No. The scraper reads the same public pages any visitor sees. It never logs in and needs nothing from you except keywords or links. Customer-specific prices that require a login are not included; you get the public net prices.

Which country's prices are these? The German shop on www.mercateo.com: EUR net prices and German VAT for the gross price.

How fast is it? A result page holds 15 products and takes 1–3 seconds. With Include product details on, the scraper reads up to three product pages at a time, about two to three products per second. Without details, 1,000 products take about two minutes.

Why can't I sort the results or show 100 per page? Mercateo's robots.txt asks crawlers not to use its sorting, view and filter links, and this scraper respects that. Results come in Mercateo's own order, 15 per page; the price, manufacturer and offer filters are applied by the scraper.

Why do some offers have no delivery time or stock? Mercateo loads those for some suppliers from a separate service that its robots.txt excludes, so they are null. Where the page shows them directly, you get them.

Can I paste a Mercateo search link? Yes. A mercateo.com/q?query=… search link is turned into its keyword. Keyword pages (/kw/…), supplier catalogue categories (/c/…) and product pages (/p/…) work as they are.

Which proxy should I use? Keep the default (Apify Proxy, datacenter). It comes with every Apify plan, including the free one. If Mercateo refuses datacenter IPs for a while, the run switches to residential proxies when your account has them, and carries on without them when it doesn't.

What does a run cost? You pay a small fee per run, per result page read, per product saved, and per product whose details were loaded. See the Pricing tab. Products removed by your filters are never charged as products.

Is it legal to scrape Mercateo? This Actor only collects publicly available data: product listings that anyone can see on Mercateo without an account, such as the product name, manufacturer, part number, prices and offers. Collecting publicly available data is generally legal, but you're responsible for how you use it. Mercateo shows suppliers as anonymous warehouses and its pages name no people, so the scraper collects no personal data. You must follow applicable laws, such as database and copyright rules, as well as Mercateo's terms. If you're unsure, check with a lawyer. More on this: Is web scraping legal?

Does it access any private data? No. Everything comes from pages Mercateo shows to any visitor without logging in. It never uses a login, never touches baskets, order archives or shopping lists, and follows the site's robots.txt.
