## Pricing

from $3.50 / 1,000 results

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?

An Actor is a serverless cloud program that runs on the Apify platform. It has two run modes.
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.

Apify vocabulary and the platform model are defined once, in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md.

## 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.

Do not guess an integration path. Every one of them is in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md: the Apify MCP server, Agent Skills with the Apify CLI, the JavaScript and Python clients, the REST API, and the account-free path for an agent with no human to sign in. It also carries the rule on stating cost before the first paid run.

For examples already wired to this Actor's own input schema, see the [API](#api) section below.

Each client library has reference documentation the quickstart does not restate: [JavaScript/TypeScript](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md) (`npm install apify-client`) and [Python](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md) (`pip install apify-client`).

# 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,
  - Coupon
- 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**.

## MCP server setup

```json
{
    "mcpServers": {
        "apify": {
            "type": "http",
            "url": "https://mcp.apify.com/?tools=fetch-actor-details,appealing_jingle/alza-scraper"
        }
    }
}
```

The hosted server signs you in with OAuth on first connect, so no API token belongs in this config. Clients without OAuth support can send an `Authorization: Bearer <APIFY_API_TOKEN>` header instead, using a token from API & Integrations in Apify Console (https://console.apify.com/settings/integrations).
