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 ## 🛍️ Otto Search Scraper This actor allows you to scrape product search results from Otto.de, one of Germany's largest e-commerce platforms. Simply provide a search URL and the actor will automatically extract comprehensive product information with pagination support. ### Features - **URL-based Scraping:** Extract products by providing a complete Otto.de search URL - **Automatic Pagination:** Automatically scrolls and loads more products until reaching the end or max items limit - **Comprehensive Product Data:** Extract detailed information about each product including: - Product identification (ID, article number, variation ID) - Brand and product name - Product images and detail URLs - Current and previous prices - Discount information - Customer ratings and review counts - Product availability and delivery information - Color variations and options - **Rich Product Details:** Includes product images, color variants, and structured data - **Real-time Data:** Get up-to-date pricing, availability, and stock information ### Input Parameters | Field | Type | Required | Description | |----------------------|---------|----------|------------------------------------------------| | `searchUrl` | string | Yes | Complete Otto.de search URL to scrape | | `maxItems` | integer | No | Maximum number of products to fetch | | `proxyConfiguration` | object | No | Proxy settings for the actor | ### Output The output is a main list of product objects, each containing: - `searchUrl`: The original search URL used - `productId`: Unique product identifier - `articleNumber`: Product article number - `variationId`: Product variation identifier - `color`: Product color name - `colorHref`: URL to the color variation - `allColors`: Array of all available color options - `brand`: Product brand name - `name`: Product name - `detailUrl`: URL to the product detail page - `image`: Product image URL - `imageAlt`: Product image alt text - `price`: Current product price - `previousPrice`: Original price before discount - `discountTag`: Discount percentage or tag - `rating`: Product rating (number of stars) - `ratingCount`: Number of customer reviews - `ratingValue`: Average rating value - `availability`: Product availability status - `deliveryText`: Delivery information - `schema`: Structured product data (schema.org format) - `scrapedAt`: Timestamp of when the product was scraped Example output: ```json [ { "searchUrl": "https://www.otto.de/suche/lego/", "productId": "123456", "articleNumber": "LEGO-789", "variationId": "456789", "color": "Red", "colorHref": "https://www.otto.de/product/123456-red", "allColors": [ { "colorName": "Red", "variationId": "456789", "colorDotCss": "background-color: #ff0000" }, { "colorName": "Blue", "variationId": "456790", "colorDotCss": "background-color: #0000ff" } ], "brand": "LEGO", "name": "LEGO Classic Creative Building Set", "detailUrl": "https://www.otto.de/product/123456", "image": "https://www.otto.de/image.jpg", "imageAlt": "LEGO Classic Creative Building Set", "price": 29.99, "previousPrice": 39.99, "discountTag": "-25%", "rating": 5, "ratingCount": 1234, "ratingValue": 4.5, "availability": "In stock", "deliveryText": "Delivery within 2-3 days", "scrapedAt": "2025-05-29T02:10:44.350Z" }, ... ] ```` ### Use Cases - Product research and market analysis - Price monitoring and comparison - Inventory tracking - Competitive analysis - Product catalog building - E-commerce data aggregation ### Notes - Results are automatically paginated until reaching the end or max items limit - All prices are extracted in numeric format - Product variations and color options are included - Availability and delivery information is updated in real-time - The actor handles dynamic content loading automatically *** **Start scraping product data from Otto.de today!** # Actor input Schema ## `searchUrl` (type: `string`): The complete Otto.de search URL to scrape ## `maxItems` (type: `integer`): Maximum number of products to fetch ## `proxyConfiguration` (type: `object`): Proxy settings for the actor ## Actor input object example ```json { "searchUrl": "https://www.otto.de/suche/lego/", "maxItems": 50, "proxyConfiguration": { "useApifyProxy": false, "apifyProxyGroups": [ "RESIDENTIAL" ] } } ``` # API You can run this Actor programmatically using our API. Below are code examples in JavaScript, Python, and CLI, as well as the OpenAPI specification and MCP server setup. ## JavaScript example ```javascript import { ApifyClient } from 'apify-client'; // Initialize the ApifyClient with your Apify API token // Replace the '' with your token const client = new ApifyClient({ token: '', }); // Prepare Actor input const input = {}; // Run the Actor and wait for it to finish const run = await client.actor("powerai/otto-search-scraper").call(input); // Fetch and print Actor results from the run's dataset (if any) console.log('Results from dataset'); console.log(`💾 Check your data here: https://console.apify.com/storage/datasets/${run.defaultDatasetId}`); const { items } = await client.dataset(run.defaultDatasetId).listItems(); items.forEach((item) => { console.dir(item); }); // 📚 Want to learn more 📖?
