## What's an Apify Actor?

Actors are web data automations that power AI and operations. They run on the Apify platform to scrape websites, process data, connect APIs, and automate workflows.
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.

- **AI agents and MCP clients** — the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/integrations/mcp.md) at `https://mcp.apify.com` (remote, streamable HTTP, OAuth on first use).
- **Agentic workflows and local Actor development** — [Agent Skills](https://apify.com/.well-known/agent-skills/index.json) with the [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md): `npm install -g apify-cli`, then `apify login`.
- **JavaScript/TypeScript projects** — the official [JS/TS client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md): `npm install apify-client`.
- **Python projects** — the official [Python client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md): `pip install apify-client`.
- **Any other language** — the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md).

For usage examples, see the [API](#api) section below.

# README

## Dia Spain Scraper

Scrape the Dia Spain supermarket (dia.es) by keyword and get clean, structured product data: names, brands, prices, unit prices, categories, product ids and images.

Dia is one of Spain's largest supermarket chains. This actor reads its server-rendered search pages directly, so you get fast, reliable grocery data without a login, cookies or a browser.

### Why use this actor?

If you track grocery prices, build a price-comparison tool, monitor the Spanish market, or feed a research dataset, you need structured product data you can rely on. This actor turns any Dia search into a table of products with prices in EUR and unit prices.

Typical users:

- Price-intelligence and price-comparison platforms tracking Spanish retail.
- Brands and suppliers monitoring how their products are listed and priced.
- Market researchers and analysts building grocery datasets.
- Developers who need a clean product feed instead of scraping HTML themselves.

### How to scrape Dia data

1. Open the actor in the Apify Console.
2. Enter a **search query** in Spanish — for example `leche`, `café`, `aceite` or `pan`.
3. Set **maxResults** to how many products you want.
4. Leave the proxy on the default Apify setting and click **Start**.
5. When the run finishes, download the results as JSON, CSV, Excel or feed them to an API.

The actor requests Dia's search pages, walks the pagination for your query, de-duplicates by product id, and writes one clean record per product.

### Input

| Field | Type | Required | Description |
|-------|------|----------|-------------|
| `searchQuery` | String | No | Keyword to search in Spanish (default: `leche`) |
| `maxResults` | Integer | No | Maximum products to return (default: 100) |
| `proxyConfiguration` | Object | No | Apify proxy settings (default Apify proxy works) |

#### Example input

```json
{
    "searchQuery": "leche",
    "maxResults": 20,
    "proxyConfiguration": { "useApifyProxy": true }
}
```

### Output

Each result contains:

| Field | Type | Example |
|-------|------|---------|
| `productName` | String | `"Leche semidesnatada Dia Láctea pack 6 x 1 L"` |
| `brand` | String | `"Dia Láctea"` |
| `price` | Number | `5.04` |
| `currency` | String | `"EUR"` |
| `unitPrice` | String | `"0,84 €/LITRO"` |
| `originalPrice` | Number | `5.99` |
| `discount` | String | `"-16%"` |
| `category` | String | `"Huevos, leche y mantequilla > Leche"` |
| `productId` | String | `"504P6"` |
| `imageUrl` | String | Primary product image URL |
| `url` | String | Full product page URL |
| `scrapedAt` | String | ISO 8601 timestamp |

`originalPrice` and `discount` are present only on promoted products.

### Example output

```json
{
    "productName": "Leche semidesnatada Dia Láctea pack 6 x 1 L",
    "brand": "Dia Láctea",
    "price": 5.04,
    "currency": "EUR",
    "unitPrice": "0,84 €/LITRO",
    "category": "Huevos, leche y mantequilla > Leche",
    "productId": "504P6",
    "imageUrl": "https://www.dia.es/product_images/504P6/504P6_ISO_0_ES.jpg",
    "url": "https://www.dia.es/huevos-leche-y-mantequilla/leche/p/504P6",
    "scrapedAt": "2026-07-12T09:00:00.000Z"
}
```

### Notes and limitations

- Prices are the current online prices in EUR.
- EAN / barcode is not exposed on dia.es (product ids are internal PLUs), so it is not included.
- `originalPrice` and `discount` appear only when a product is on promotion.

### Cost

Pricing is pay-per-result. A typical keyword search of 100–300 products completes in about a minute, so most runs cost only a few cents in Apify platform usage plus the per-result fee.
