Alza Scraper ($2.89/1K): Prices & Tracker (CZ SK HU AT DE)

Alza Scraper & Price Tracker (alza.cz, .sk, .hu, .at, .de)

Scrape products and prices from Alza, the largest e-shop in Central Europe, on all five of its websites: alza.cz, alza.sk, alza.hu, alza.at and alza.de. Start from a category, a brand page, a filtered or sorted page, a promotion, search terms, product URLs, or your own list of Alza codes, product IDs or manufacturer part numbers (MPN). Built for e-shops and brands watching Alza's prices, deal websites, price comparison and market research.

• 🏷️ Prices exactly as Alza shows them: price, crossed-out price and discount, discount code and the price with it ("Koupit s kódem ALZADNY5"), trade-in, AlzaPlus+ and cashback prices, instalment, availability with pieces in stock and the condition (new, unpacked, like new, used).
• 🧾 Product details included in the price (on by default): MPN for matching with other shops, price without VAT, all parameters and photos, warranty, how many stores have it now, and the rating summary with the bought count, recommendation rate and complaint rate ("reklamovanost").
• 📉 Monitoring: a daily run returns, and charges, only products whose price, crossed-out price, code price or availability changed, plus products that disappeared or came back, so a daily run of an unchanged category costs almost nothing.
• 📈 Price history and fake-discount check: the lowest price of the last 30 and 90 days, whether today's price is the lowest in 90 days, and a flag when the crossed-out price is higher than a price your runs saw before the discount. How it works
• 🧮 Shelf report: which brands hold the first 24 (or N) positions of every category and search, their share of shelf, sponsored positions and positions gained or lost since the previous run, ready for Excel. How it works
• 💲 $2.89 per 1 000 products on the FREE plan ($1.99 on GOLD), residential proxy and platform included: 100 products with details cost $0.29.

Optionally you also get customer reviews without names, the full description and the delivery date and pickup places (Alza stores, AlzaBoxes, partner points) near a town. New: price history and the shelf report are free until 28 November 2026. Coming from another Alza scraper?

Website order and brands

Sort by: best-selling, cheapest, most expensive, best rated (for categories). Brands in a category don't charge for other brands' products. You can also paste any page Alza offers in its menus: a brand (…/notebooky/apple/18842920-v1627.htm), a parameter (…/notebooky/amd-ryzen-7/18842920-par65-106755006.htm), a sorted page or a promotion. Filters chosen in the browser after # are not part of the page address, so use the filters of this actor instead.

Filters (you don't pay for filtered-out products)

Price range, only discounted, minimum discount, only with a discount code, only in stock, availability values, condition (new, unpacked, like new, used), minimum rating and number of ratings, brands and excluded brands, words the name must or must not contain, exclude sponsored positions, only with MPN. When a filter needs product data (MPN, brand on search pages), places freed by skipped products are filled with the next products, so Max products is still reached.

Search terms, codes and MPNs

Search terms give the results of Alza's own search (Alza opens the matching category for many terms, e.g. "iphone 17"). Look products up by Alza code, product ID (the number after -d in the URL) or MPN; only exact matches are returned. Country chooses the website for these inputs; URLs are read on their own website.

Fast mode (optional, small extra charge)

Fast mode reads up to about 4× faster and drops back to the normal speed for the rest of the run at the first sign of load. It never changes IP address to get around a limit. It costs $0.01 per 1 000 products saved in fast mode.

Monitoring mode explained

With Monitoring: only new or changed products the actor remembers what it saw (per Monitoring key) and saves only products that are new or whose price, crossed-out price, price with code or availability changed. Product details and extras are read only for those, so a daily run of an unchanged category costs almost nothing. Rows carry changeType (new, updated, removed, reappeared), previousPrice, priceChange, priceChangePercent and previousAvailability. Only price changes and Min price drop (%) narrow it further. Include removed products adds a row for each product that disappeared (only after a run that read the whole listing) and marks it reappeared when it is back. A product of your own list (URL, product ID or code) that Alza no longer sells is reported as removed too; the run still succeeds. Unpacked, like-new and used pieces have their own IDs (alza:<code>~<product ID>), so they never mix with the new product in the price history.

Don't run several runs over the same category at the same time: one run reads it faster and politely, and parallel runs with the same monitoring key overwrite each other's state.

Price history and fake-discount check

Shops like to show "-30 %" from a price that held for a day. Alza must show as the crossed-out price its lowest price of the 30 days before the discount (EU Omnibus directive; in Czechia § 12a of the consumer protection act), but you can't see what the price was last month on the page. With Price history on, the actor keeps that memory for you.

How it works

1. Every run notes the price and the crossed-out price of every product it reads (also unchanged and filtered-out products, and also in monitoring mode, where unchanged products are not saved).
2. Every run adds what it sees to your own history in your account.
3. Each saved product gets the fields below, computed from all your previous runs with the same Monitoring key.

Field	What it tells
lowestPrice30d, lowestPrice90d	Lowest price of the last 30 and 90 days (incl. today)
highestPrice90d, averagePrice90d	Highest price and the average price weighted by how long each price held
priceVsAverage90dPercent	Today's price against the 90-day average (-12.5 = 12.5 % below)
isLowestPrice90d	true when today's price is the lowest of 90 days (null until 30 days of history)
currentPriceSince, priceHistorySince, priceHistoryDays, priceHistoryChanges	Since when the price holds, since when the product is tracked, how many price changes were seen
discountStartedAt, observedLowBeforeDiscount	When the current crossed-out price appeared, and the lowest price seen in the 30 days before it
crossedOutPriceCheck	higher_than_observed_low (the crossed-out price is higher than a price your runs saw before the discount: suspicious), consistent, lower_than_observed_low, not_enough_history; null without a crossed-out price
priceHistory	The price changes of the last 365 days: [{"date", "price", "priceBeforeDiscount"}], ready for a chart

Example: a TV cost 19 990 CZK for weeks, went up to 24 990 CZK on 20 October and is "discounted" from 24 990 to 19 990 CZK ("-20 %") since 27 October (a run on 3 November):

{
  "name": "Example TV 55\"",
  "price": 19990,
  "priceBeforeDiscount": 24990,
  "discountPercent": 20,
  "lowestPrice30d": 19990,
  "lowestPrice90d": 19990,
  "highestPrice90d": 24990,
  "averagePrice90d": 20378.89,
  "priceVsAverage90dPercent": -1.9,
  "isLowestPrice90d": true,
  "currentPriceSince": "2026-10-27T06:00:00Z",
  "discountStartedAt": "2026-10-27T06:00:00Z",
  "observedLowBeforeDiscount": 19990,
  "crossedOutPriceCheck": "higher_than_observed_low",
  "priceHistory": [
    { "date": "2026-08-01T06:00:00Z", "price": 19990, "priceBeforeDiscount": null },
    { "date": "2026-10-20T06:00:00Z", "price": 24990, "priceBeforeDiscount": null },
    { "date": "2026-10-27T06:00:00Z", "price": 19990, "priceBeforeDiscount": 24990 }
  ]
}

Who uses it: deal websites and newsletters (post only real deals: onlyLowestPrice90d), consumer journalists and associations (onlySuspiciousDiscounts), shops and brands watching Alza's pricing (price trends and how long a promotion lasts), buyers waiting for the right moment.

Where the history is stored: in your Apify account (see the FAQ). Nobody else, including us, can read it. It is kept between runs until you delete it; delete it to start over. Different monitoring keys keep separate histories; runs with the same key share one, also when they read different categories.

Tips

• Schedule it daily (Schedules in Apify Console). The history knows only the prices your runs saw: a price that held for one day between two weekly runs is missed, and the price is assumed unchanged between runs.
• Listing data are enough ("includeDetails": false): the history needs only the price and the crossed-out price, so tracking a whole category every day is fast and cheap.
• The 90-day values and the check of the crossed-out price get meaningful after a few weeks of runs; until then isLowestPrice90d is null and the check says not_enough_history (or higher_than_observed_low as soon as a higher crossed-out price is proven by a price your runs saw).
• higher_than_observed_low means "higher than a price your runs saw", not a legal finding: the price can come from a short promotion, a price for members only, or another variant. Check the priceHistory before you publish it.

Shelf report (share of shelf by brand)

Brand managers, distributors and agencies want to know how visible their brand is on Alza: how many of the first positions of a category or a search it holds, how high, how much of it is paid (sponsored), and whether that got better or worse since yesterday. Turn on Shelf report and every listing of the run (category, brand page, sorted page, search URL or search term) gets one report.

Example: the first 48 positions of alza.cz TVs, listing data only (a run on 9 November 2026):

Rank	Brand	In top 48	On page 1	Share of shelf	Avg. position	Best	Sponsored	Avg. price (CZK)	Discounted	Rating
1	Samsung	16	7	33.3 %	27.8	7	0	19 523	15	4.79

What you get

• SHELF_REPORT_CSV in the key-value store of the run (Output tab → "Shelf report for Excel"): one row per listing and brand plus a total row per listing (rowType total / brand), the listing's URL, search term, country, sort and category repeated in every row, so it works as it is in Excel, Google Sheets or a pivot table.
• SHELF_REPORT: the same as JSON, one object per listing with totals and brands.
• The dataset alza-shelf-<monitoring key> in your account (Storage → Datasets) gets the rows of every run, a history of your shelf for charts and pivot tables (reportedAt tells the run).

Field	What it tells
productsInTopN, productsOnFirstPage	Positions of the brand among the first N and among the first 24 (sponsored ones included)
shareOfShelfPercent	Products of the brand / positions read × 100
averagePosition, bestPosition	Average and best (lowest) position, 1 = top
sponsoredCount, sponsoredSharePercent	Sponsored positions ("Sponzorováno") and the share of the brand's positions that are paid
averagePrice, discountedCount, averageRating	Average price, products with a discount and average rating of the brand's products on the shelf
brandRecognized	false for the row of products whose brand is not known (see below)
positionsRead, positionsExpected, complete, note	How much of the shelf this run read; an incomplete shelf says why
productsInTopNChange, shareOfShelfChange, averagePositionChange, shelfChange	Change since the previous complete report of the same listing (same monitoring key and shelf size): positions gained (+) or lost (−), percentage points, positions moved (negative = up), and entered, gained, lost, unchanged or left (a brand that left the shelf gets a row with 0 products)

Example of the change (a brand row on the next day, shortened; illustrative values):

{ "listing": "Category \"Televize\"", "rowType": "brand", "rank": 2, "brand": "TCL", "productsInTopN": 13, "shareOfShelfPercent": 27.1,
  "previousProductsInTopN": 11, "productsInTopNChange": 2, "shareOfShelfChange": 4.2, "averagePositionChange": -3.1, "shelfChange": "gained" }

How it counts

• Only positions the run actually read count. The run reads as many listing pages as Max products and Max products per URL need, and every position of each page read counts (also those after "Max products", also products that your filters skip). Set Max products per URL at least to the shelf size; a shelf that was not read to the end is marked complete: false with a note, its shares are of the positions read, and it is not used for the next comparison.
• Filters, monitoring and price history don't change the shelf: it is what a shopper sees on the page. Sort by does (a sorted page is another shelf), and so does Brands (it shows only those brands), so leave it empty for the shelf of a category.
• Brands without product details are recognised for 96–100 % of the positions in our runs (TVs and two searches on 9 November 2026), ~98 % of 302 saved listing products. With product details on, Alza's own brand is used for the products read. The rest is one row with brand: null and brandRecognized: false.
• Product URLs, codes and MPNs have no shelf and get no report.

Cheapest way to run it: listing data only ("includeDetails": false) and Max products per URL = shelf size. A daily shelf of 5 categories, top 24, costs 5 × 24 products and 5 listing reports a day.

How much does it cost to scrape Alza?

You pay per saved product. Platform usage and the residential proxy are included, and so are product details and the rating summary. Filtered-out and unchanged products (in monitoring mode) are free.

Plan	Price per 1 000 products	+ Fast mode (only products saved in fast mode)
FREE	$2.89	+$0.01
BRONZE	$2.79	+$0.01
SILVER	$2.49	+$0.01
GOLD and higher	$1.99	+$0.01

Price history (optional): +$0.30 per 1 000 products saved with it, on every plan (the price-history event), from 28 November 2026; until then it is free. Products skipped by its filters are free.

Shelf report (optional): +$0.02 per listing report (one category, brand page or search with its brand breakdown, not per row), on every plan (the shelf-report event), from 28 November 2026; until then it is free. A run keeps that much of your maximum cost per run for the reports of the listings it has read; a report that does not fit is not made (the status message says so). Example: the TV shelf above (48 products, listing data only, 1 report) is $0.14 + $0.02 = $0.16 on the FREE plan.

Description (optional, Add description): +$0.50 per 1 000 products saved with their full description, on every plan (the description event), from 28 November 2026; until then it is free. The full description is long, so it is charged separately; products without a description on Alza are free.

Reviews, pickup places and removed-product rows don't change the price per product. There is also a tiny start fee of $0.00005 per run.

Typical runs:

Scenario	Price (FREE plan)	Typical time (normal / fast mode)
20 products with details (the prefilled input)	$0.06	~1.5 min / ~25 s
100 products with details	$0.29	~7 min / ~2 min
1 000 products, listing data only	$2.89	~1.5 min / ~30 s
1 000 products with details (default)	$2.89	~70 min / ~18 min
100 products with details, 10 reviews, pickup places and description	$0.29 ($0.34 from 28 November 2026)	~20 min / ~5 min
100 Alza codes or MPNs	$0.29	~10 min / ~3 min

The default run Timeout is 2 hours, enough for about 1 700 products with details at the normal speed. For longer runs (thousands of products with details, long code lists), raise the Timeout in the run options or use fast mode. A run that gets close to its timeout stops about 90 seconds before it, saves the products read so far (and the monitoring state) and says so in the status message.

Limitations

• EAN: Alza doesn't publish EAN codes and its search doesn't find products by EAN. Match products with other shops by MPN (with product details, on by default).
• Price before discount is the crossed-out price Alza shows; by law it is its lowest price of the 30 days before the discount. discountPercent is the percent the price box shows (Alza rounds down: 34 990 → 31 990 is "-8 %").
• Variants: the tile shows only the number of variants (variantCount); each variant is its own product with its own code and URL (variants that share a page get …?dq=<product ID>, which opens exactly that variant), so list them with the category or brand page.
• Memory: the default 256 MB is enough for thousands of products; if a run gets close to its memory limit, it stops, saves what it has read and says so in the status message.
• Sorting works for categories. Searches and categories filtered by a brand keep the website's order; "newest first" is not available.
• Website filters in the browser (#… after the URL, e.g. a price range or a store) are not part of the page address; use this actor's filters, brand pages, parameter pages or Sort by instead.
• Brand without details is recognised for 96–100 % of positions; the rest are grouped as brand: null. With details (default) it is Alza's own brand.
• Pickup places need a town from the list; they work on every website for its own towns (tested on alza.cz, .sk, .hu and .de; on alza.de the points are mostly DHL partner points). Stores with stock (storesWithStock) come with the product details on every website.
• English URLs (alza.cz/EN/…) are read in the website's own language, so prices, availability and names are as on the Czech (Slovak, …) page.
• Reviews never include the reviewer's name or photo; review texts may still contain what reviewers wrote about themselves, so use them for analysis, not republishing.
• Price history starts with your first run with it (there is no history from before) and knows only the prices your runs saw; see Price history. Removed-product rows (monitoring) have no price history fields.
• Shelf report counts the positions of the listing pages the run read (up to 240 per listing) as Alza showed them to the run (sponsored positions can differ between visitors); see Shelf report. Product URLs and codes have no shelf.
• Large listings: Max pages per category defaults to 50 pages (1 200 products), up to 500; searches up to 100 pages.
• A page the website rejects is retried once a little later, never from another IP address; if rejections continue, the run stops with what it has saved and says so. When only optional data (rating summary, reviews, pickup places, description) are rejected, that data is turned off for the rest of the run and the run goes on; the status message says which. Products whose data couldn't be read are returned with the listing data (detailScraped: false).

For AI agents and API users

• Minimal input: {"startUrls": [{"url": "https://www.alza.cz/notebooky/18842920.htm"}], "maxItems": 20}, or {"searchQueries": ["iphone 17"], "maxItems": 10}, or {"productCodes": ["NL253a1a"]}, or {"mpns": ["MDHH4CZ/A"]}.
• One row = one product = one charge (+ the fast-mode event when fast mode is on, + price history or description when you turn them on). Details, rating summary, reviews and pickup places don't change the price per product.
• maxItems counts saved products, maxItemsPerStartUrl limits each URL, search term or the code list.
• Shelf report ("shelfReport": true): GET https://api.apify.com/v2/key-value-stores/<defaultKeyValueStoreId>/records/SHELF_REPORT (JSON) or …/records/SHELF_REPORT_CSV; the product rows don't change.
• Prices are incl. VAT in the website's currency (currency: CZK, EUR, HUF). availability is one of in_stock, in_store_only, at_supplier, in_transit, on_order, expected, preorder, unavailable, out_of_stock, members_only (only for AlzaPlus+ members), unknown. condition is new, unpacked, like_new or used. IDs are alza:<code> on alza.cz and alza-sk:<code> etc. on the other websites; unpacked, like-new and used pieces share the code of the new product and get alza:<code>~<product ID>.
• specs is the parameter list as one object ({"Úhlopříčka displeje": "13,6 \"", …}), handy for CSV and Excel; specifications keeps the groups.
• A bad value in a list (an invalid code, an unsupported URL, an unknown option) is skipped with a warning in the status message (input: …) and the run goes on; the run fails only when nothing of the input can be read.
• Monitoring state is kept per monitoringKey between runs of the same user. A removed row has the last known name, URL, IDs, brand, category, price, availability, condition and image; the other fields are empty (isDiscounted is null, and condition too for products remembered before 2026-11-05 whose URL does not tell).

Troubleshooting

Status message	What to do
Skipping unsupported URL	Use an Alza category, brand, parameter, promotion, search or product URL (cart, account and article pages have no product list).
Ignored URL parts … (log)	Filters after # are applied by your browser; use this actor's filters instead.
brands not found: …	The category has no products of that brand; check the spelling as Alza shows it.
the chosen order is not available …	Searches and brand pages have no sorted pages; the website's order was used.
no products: …	The listing or search is empty.
not found: …	No product with exactly this code, product ID or MPN on the chosen website.
… could not be loaded	The page or product doesn't exist (anymore); open the URL in your browser. The other inputs are read; the run fails only when nothing could be read.
not on Alza (any more): …	Monitoring: Alza no longer has this product of your list; with include removed products it comes as a removed row.
input: not valid, skipped: … (or other input: notes)	That part of the input was skipped or adjusted (invalid code, unsupported URL, unknown option, details turned on for reviews/description/pickup places); the rest was read.
the URL list … could not be downloaded	The linked file or Google Sheet isn't public; share it with "Anyone with the link" or upload the file.
stopped before the run timeout, raise Timeout or use fast mode	The run saved what it read before its timeout; raise Timeout in the run options or turn on fast mode.
stopped at the page limit …	Raise Max pages per category or Max pages per search.
rating summary turned off (…) (or reviews, pickup places, descriptions)	Alza rejected that optional data; the products are saved without it. Run again later.
fast mode: N products, then the normal speed because …	Alza asked to slow down; the rest of the run used the normal speed (no fast-mode charge).
removed products were not checked because …	The run didn't read everything (e.g. Max products reached); removed products are checked in a complete run.
Alza is rejecting requests	Use the default proxy setting (Apify Proxy, residential) and try again later.
… listing pages could not be read, so the results may be incomplete	Alza didn't answer some pages; run it again later for complete results.
Saved 0 products (new or changed since last run)	Nothing changed since the previous monitoring run; that's expected.

FAQ

Is it legal to scrape Alza?

The actor collects publicly available product data (prices, availability, parameters, ratings) that anyone sees on Alza's websites. It reads only publicly available data, without logging in, at most 30 requests per minute by default (120 in fast mode), slows down when the website asks, never changes IP address to get around a limit and never solves captchas or other challenges. It returns no personal data: reviews come without names or photos. Alza's terms of business (checked 2026-10-14) don't prohibit automated access. How you use the data is your responsibility: use it for price monitoring and analysis, and don't republish the catalogue, descriptions, photos or reviews. If unsure, consult a lawyer. Objections and data protection requests: the Issues tab of this actor.

Do I need a proxy?

Alza needs a residential proxy. It is set by default and its cost is included in the price; you don't pay for it separately. Keep the default setting.

Which websites are supported?

alza.cz (CZK), alza.sk (EUR), alza.hu (HUF), alza.at (EUR) and alza.de (EUR). Paste URLs from any of them; Country chooses the website for search terms, codes and MPNs.

Why are product details on by default?

Because they are included in the price and add what most users need: MPN, brand, price without VAT, parameters, photos, stores with stock and the rating summary. Turn Add product details off for the fastest listing-only sweeps.

What does fast mode cost and when should I use it?

$0.01 per 1 000 products on top of the normal price, only for products saved at the fast speed. Use it for large categories, product details and long code lists, when the time matters.

Can I get the price history of a product from before my first run?

No. The history is built by your own runs (we don't keep a shared database of prices). Start a daily schedule now; after 30 days you get the 30-day values and the fake-discount check, after 90 days the full 90-day values.

Where is my price history stored and who can see it?

In your own Apify account, in the key-value store alza-history-<monitoring key>. Only you (and whoever you share your account or the store with) can see it. Delete the store to start over.

Does "higher_than_observed_low" mean Alza broke the law?

Not by itself. It means the crossed-out price is higher than a price your runs saw in the 30 days before the discount. That is what the EU rule is about, but a price for members, a short flash sale or a different variant can explain it. Use priceHistory to check it.

How do I get a share-of-shelf report of my brand on Alza?

Turn on Shelf report, add your categories or search terms, set Max products per URL to the shelf size (24 = the first page) and schedule the run daily. Open SHELF_REPORT_CSV in Excel (one row per brand, filter your brand), or use the dataset alza-shelf-<monitoring key> for the history of all runs. See Shelf report.

Why does a brand have "brandRecognized": false?

Without product details the brand is recognised for 96–100 % of positions; the rest (e.g. "Xbox: Controller - dárkový set") are grouped in one row with brand: null. Turn product details on for those listings, or check brandRecognizedSharePercent of the listing.

Why is there no EAN?

Alza doesn't publish EANs. Use the MPN (manufacturer part number) to match products with other shops; our other Czech shop scrapers return MPNs and EANs in the same format.

Can I use it through the API?

Yes. See the Python, JavaScript and cURL examples above, or the API tab.
