dm.de Product Scraper

Pull rich product data from dm-drogerie markt (dm.de), Germany's drugstore and personal-care retailer. Search by keyword, a real dm.de category, or the site's own currently-reduced Ausverkauf items, or paste product and listing links directly. Every record includes the current price, the strike-through original price with computed discount when a product is marked down, per-unit pricing (e.g. price per 100 ml or per kg) where the site shows it, and a complete customer review history with a full rating breakdown.

Why This Scraper?

• Was-price and discount, structured, not scraped from a badge. When a product carries a reduced original price, both prices are captured plus the computed discount amount and percentage.
• Real per-unit pricing. Bodycare, food, and household products return their price per 100 ml / 100 g / kg / piece separately from the pack price, exactly as the site itself breaks it down.
• Ausverkauf, first class. A specialsOnly toggle narrows any search or category listing to dm's own live clearance/sellout feed -- the site's real, queryable discount signal, not a guessed category.
• Full review history. Overall rating, review count, a full 1 to 5 star rating breakdown, and every individual review with author, date, rating, title, and body text.
• Rich detail on demand. Full breadcrumb category path, flattened product information (description, ingredients/Inhaltsstoffe, usage notes -- varies per category, never hardcoded), pack-size variants with their own price and EAN, brand image, and online/store availability.
• Brand coverage. Every brand dm carries, including its own private-label lines (dmBio, Balea, alverde NATURKOSMETIK, and more) alongside national brands.
• Two ways in. Keyword or category search with real site filters (brand, rating, price range, Ausverkauf, sort), or paste any product/listing link and continue pagination automatically.
• Resume & recurring updates. Turn on Incremental mode to get only NEW, UPDATED, and REAPPEARED products on a scheduled re-run of the same search -- see "Resume & recurring updates" below.
• Optional export to your apps. Send results into Notion, Linear, Airtable, or any Apify MCP connector alongside the dataset.

Sample shape: values above are illustrative placeholders, not from a live product.

Incremental mode only. When incrementalMode is on, every returned record also carries:

Field	Description
changeType	NEW | UPDATED | UNCHANGED | REAPPEARED | EXPIRED
changedFields	Top-level fields that changed since last seen; non-empty only for UPDATED
firstSeenAt	When this product was first observed by this monitoring campaign
lastSeenAt	When this product was last observed

Change detection is based on price, discount/Ausverkauf status, unit price, and online/store availability -- the fields that actually define whether a listing "changed" for monitoring purposes. Two things are deliberately excluded from change detection, and will never by themselves cause a product to come back as UPDATED: the reviews array (a new review anywhere does not mean the product changed), and rating / reviewCount (these tick on nearly every run for a high-traffic catalogue like this one -- excluded so a quiet monitoring run stays quiet). If you need to track rating drift, compare it yourself across runs; it is still returned on every record, it just does not drive changeType.

How to Use

1. Keyword search, first page, with reviews (default):

{
  "mode": "search",
  "searchTerm": "bodylotion",
  "maxItems": 20
}

2. Category browse, filtered to a brand and only currently-reduced Ausverkauf items:

{
  "mode": "search",
  "searchTerm": "pflege-und-parfum/koerperpflege/bodylotion-und-hautcreme",
  "brands": ["Balea"],
  "specialsOnly": true,
  "sortBy": "PRICE_ASC",
  "maxItems": 50,
  "maxPages": 5
}

3. Full product detail + reviews for pasted product links:

{
  "mode": "url",
  "urls": ["https://www.dm.de/p/d/1234567/sample-bodylotion-aloe-vera"],
  "fetchDetails": true,
  "fetchReviews": true,
  "maxReviewsPerProduct": 0
}

4. Paste a listing link and keep paginating forward:

{
  "mode": "url",
  "urls": ["https://www.dm.de/search?query=bodylotion"],
  "maxItems": 100,
  "maxPages": 10
}

Input Parameters

Parameter	Type	Description
mode	string	search or url.
searchTerm	string	Keyword or a real dm.de category path (search mode only).
specialsOnly	boolean	Keep only products currently in dm's Ausverkauf/clearance feed (search mode only).
brands	array	Exact brand names to keep (search mode only).
minRating	integer	1-5, minimum rating to keep (search mode only).
minPrice / maxPrice	number	EUR price band to keep (search mode only).
sortBy	string	RELEVANCE, PRICE_ASC, PRICE_DESC, NEWEST, or RATING (search mode only).
urls	array	Product or listing URLs to scrape (url mode only).
fetchDetails	boolean	Fetch full product detail (breadcrumb, description, ingredients, pack-size variants, brand image, availability). Pasted product URLs always fetch detail, and are charged for it, regardless of this toggle.
fetchReviews	boolean	Fetch full review history. Shares one enrichment charge with fetchDetails, applied at most once per product.
maxReviewsPerProduct	integer	Cap on reviews per product; 0 = all.
maxPages	integer	Cap on result pages per search/category/URL entry; 0 (default) = unlimited -- the run stops at Max products total instead.
maxItems	integer	Cap on total products returned; 0 = unlimited.
resumeFromRunId	string	Continue one specific previous run/dataset: products already collected there are skipped, so this run only returns new products. For recurring daily monitoring of the same search, use Incremental mode instead -- see "Resume & recurring updates" below.
incrementalMode	boolean	Daily/recurring monitoring of this same search. First run returns everything as NEW; later runs return only NEW/UPDATED/REAPPEARED by default. See "Resume & recurring updates" below.
stateKey	string	Incremental mode only. Name this monitoring campaign, or deliberately share state across differently-configured runs. Leave empty to derive one automatically.
emitUnchanged	boolean	Incremental mode only. Also return products unchanged since the last run, marked UNCHANGED. Adds and bills extra rows you already have.
emitExpired	boolean	Incremental mode only. Also return products from a previous run no longer found, marked EXPIRED, once a run has fully scanned the search (not capped, not a resume). Adds and bills extra synthetic rows.
proxy	object	Apify proxy configuration. Works on every plan by default.
mcpConnectors	array	Optional MCP connectors to export results into (Notion, Linear, Airtable, Apify).
notionParentPageUrl	string	Notion connector only: page under which item pages are created.
maxNotifyListings	integer	Cap on items exported to each connector per run. Does not affect the dataset.

Resume & recurring updates

There are two different things here -- pick the one that matches what you're doing:

Need	Use
A crawl stopped and should continue	resumeFromRunId / automatic checkpoint recovery
Run the same search every day and receive only changes	incrementalMode
Keep separate daily campaigns for similar searches	distinct stateKey values
Run a normal full snapshot	leave both off

Resume (resumeFromRunId) continues one specific interrupted or previous large crawl: paste a run ID or dataset ID and this run skips products already collected there, returning only the remaining new products. An automatic same-run checkpoint also protects against platform migrations/Resurrects without any input needed.

Incremental mode (incrementalMode) is for a schedule (for example, daily): the actor remembers the previous run of the same search by itself, so you never paste a run ID. The first run returns everything as NEW. Later runs return only NEW, UPDATED, and REAPPEARED products by default -- duplicates and unchanged products are suppressed (and not charged). Turn on emitUnchanged or emitExpired only when you also want those rows returned (and billed for). State is isolated per search/category/URL and Fetch full product detail/Fetch reviews setup automatically; set stateKey to name or deliberately share a monitoring campaign.

Scheduled-run example -- same search, run daily:

Day 1 (first run ever for this search):

{ "mode": "search", "searchTerm": "shampoo", "incrementalMode": true }

→ every product comes back with "changeType": "NEW".

Day 2 (the schedule fires again, identical input):

{ "mode": "search", "searchTerm": "shampoo", "incrementalMode": true }

→ products whose price/discount/Ausverkauf status/unit price/availability changed come back as "changeType": "UPDATED" with changedFields listing what changed, brand-new products come back as "changeType": "NEW", products that vanished and came back come back as "changeType": "REAPPEARED" -- and products that are still there, unchanged, are not returned at all (suppressed, not charged) unless emitUnchanged is on.

Send results into your apps (MCP connectors)

Optionally pipe results into the apps you already use through Model Context Protocol (MCP) connectors. Authorize a connector once under Apify, Settings, Integrations, then select it in the mcpConnectors field. Each connector receives a condensed, human-readable summary per product (name plus key fields), while the complete record always stays in the Apify dataset. For Notion, set notionParentPageUrl to the page the item pages should be created under, and use maxNotifyListings to cap how many items are exported per connector per run. Supported connectors: Notion, Linear, Airtable, and Apify. Leave the field empty to skip; it never changes the dataset output.

A note on plans

The default connection works on every Apify plan, including the free tier. A residential proxy connection is optional and only worth turning on for very large or sustained runs.
