Selectra Scraper

Extract live electricity and gas tariff comparisons from Selectra, France's energy price comparison platform. Selectra runs a public comparator engine that ranks every available electricity and gas provider offer for a given location and household profile — this actor calls that same engine directly and returns clean, structured JSON: provider, offer name, annual price, per-kWh rate, discount, estimated savings and independent ratings.

No login. No cookies. No browser automation. The actor talks directly to Selectra's own public comparator API (selectra.info/france-energy/api/engine/fr) — the same endpoint the site's own widget calls — so it is fast, cheap and stable.

What this actor does

Selectra's energy comparator takes a location and a household energy profile (subscribed power, annual consumption) and returns every electricity or gas offer currently on the French market, ranked and priced for that exact profile. This actor reproduces the same two-step flow the website itself uses:

1. Resolve your French postal code to an INSEE commune code via the French government's open geo API.
2. Call Selectra's comparator engine with that INSEE code plus your household profile (power, consumption) to get every matching offer.

Each returned tariff includes:

• Provider and offer name, and whether the pricing is fixed or variable
• Selectra's own letter-grade score (A-E) for the offer
• Total estimated annual price, with and without discount
• Monthly price, annual subscription price, and per-kWh rate (including peak/off-peak split where the meter type supports it)
• Estimated annual savings versus the regulated tariff
• Whether the offer is a sponsored/partner placement
• Independent Trustpilot rating and Selectra's own platform rating, both with review counts
• A direct sign-up/affiliate link for the offer

Why use it

• Energy price monitoring — track how electricity and gas tariffs move across providers over time, for a specific region or nationally.
• Comparison-site research — see exactly which offers Selectra surfaces, in what order, and which ones are marked sponsored.
• Rate benchmarking — pull real per-kWh and annual prices across every major French energy provider in one call.
• Lead generation — energy brokers and comparison services can use live tariff data to build their own comparison tools or alerts.
• Market research — track new provider entrants, discount campaigns, and rating trends across the French energy retail market.

How to scrape Selectra data

1. Open the actor and set a French Postal Code (e.g. 75001 for Paris, 69001 for Lyon, 13001 for Marseille). Leave it on the default to get results for Paris.
2. Choose Energy Type: both electricity and gas, or just one.
3. Pick a Housing Type (studio, apartment, house, large house) to set realistic default power and consumption figures — or set Power, Annual Electricity Consumption and Annual Gas Consumption explicitly for a precise household profile.
4. Optionally set a Search Keyword to only return offers from a specific provider (e.g. edf, totalenergies, engie).
5. Set Max Results and click Start.

The actor calls Selectra's comparator engine once per energy type requested, which returns every currently ranked offer for that INSEE code and household profile in a single response — typically 50+ electricity offers and 30+ gas offers for a well-covered postal code. Export as JSON, CSV or Excel.

Input

Field	Type	Description
postalCode	string	5-digit French postal code. Default: 75001.
energyType	string	both, electricity or gas. Default: both.
housingType	string	studio, appartement, maison or maison-grande — sets default power/consumption. Default: maison.
power	integer	Subscribed electricity power in kVA. Overrides the Housing Type default.
consumption	integer	Annual electricity consumption in kWh. Overrides the Housing Type default.
consumptionGas	integer	Annual gas consumption in kWh. Overrides the Housing Type default.
searchQuery	string	Only return tariffs whose provider or offer name contains this keyword. Empty = all.
maxResults	integer	Maximum number of tariffs to return. Default: 80.
proxyConfiguration	object	Apify proxy settings. Selectra's engine API has no anti-bot, so any setting (including none) works.

Cost estimate

This actor makes one HTTP call per energy type requested (two for both), plus one lightweight geo lookup to resolve the postal code — so a full run typically finishes in a few seconds. Exact cost depends on your Apify plan and the number of results you request.

Limitations

• Peak/off-peak rates only apply to double-rate meters. pricePerKwhHp/pricePerKwhHc are null on single-rate (Base) offers — this is expected, not a scraping gap.
• Punchline is optional. Selectra only attaches a marketing tagline to a subset of offers; most return null.
• France only. This actor targets selectra.info (France). Selectra runs comparable platforms for Spain, Portugal and the UK on the same underlying CMS, but with different API paths — not covered by this actor.
• Estimates, not guarantees. Prices and savings are Selectra's own estimates based on the household profile you provide, not a binding quote from any provider.
