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 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

## Alza Product Scraper

A Playwright-based scraper built with [Crawlee](https://crawlee.dev) for extracting product data from **Alza.sk**, **Alza.cz**, **Alza.hu**, **Alza.at** and **Alza.de**.  
It supports pagination, structured output, and detailed product attributes.

In case of errors, bugs or feature requests please contact me: 0994try@gmail.com

### ⚠️ Important

This scraper **requires a proxy** (Apify Proxy is recommended).
Running without a proxy will very likely result in **403 Forbidden errors**, as Alza actively blocks requests from non-proxied or datacenter IPs.

### Features

- Extracts key product information:
  - Product ID & code  
  - Name & brand  
  - Price (value + currency, supports decimals)  
  - Discounts (percentage or savings)  
  - Availability status  
  - Description & promo info  
  - Product image (clean URL)  
  - Ratings & number of reviews
  - Product parameters
  - Statistics  
- Works with **alza.sk, alza.cz, alza.hu, alza.at**, **alza.de** product listings and categories.  
- Handles **pagination** automatically by following the “Next” button.  
- Outputs data into the **Apify Dataset** (JSON, CSV, Excel, etc.).  

### Commodity Status Filters

You can optionally filter products based on their **commodity status** using the `commodityStatus` field in the actor input.  
This filter dynamically updates the URL and loads only products matching those conditions.

| Filter   | Description                          |
|----------|--------------------------------------|
| `new`    | Brand new products                   |
| `opened` | Opened-box or unpacked items         |
| `used`   | Used or refurbished products         |

You can select one or more of these filters at the same time.  
If no filters are selected, the scraper defaults to **all products**.

  "startUrls": [
