💰 Pricing

You pay $3.00 per 1,000 products ($0.003 per row). All of a product's offers are in its one row, so 50 offers still count as one result. 1,000 products ≈ $3.00 in result fees. Platform usage (compute and proxy traffic) is billed on top at normal rates. The default residential proxy moves about 0.16–0.2 GB per 1,000 products with all offers ($2 per GB), so usage comes to about $0.40 per 1,000 products and 1,000 products cost about $3.40 in total. A 20-product run costs about $0.07. GTINs or IDs that idealo doesn't know are not charged.

❓ FAQ

Is it legal to scrape idealo? The scraper only reads public pages that anyone can open without an account. It collects product and shop data, not personal data. Check that your use fits idealo's terms and the laws that apply to you.

Do I need an idealo account or a proxy? No account. A residential proxy in the idealo site's country is on by default, because idealo's Akamai protection blocks datacenter IPs on product pages. You can still pick the datacenter proxy; the scraper then switches to residential IPs by itself when it gets blocked.

How many results can I get? Up to the maximum per search for each term, category or search URL. idealo itself shows a limited number of pages per search (a few thousand products), so for very large categories use several searches, price ranges or subcategories.

Why is a field empty? idealo doesn't show every field for every product. GTINs, ratings, specs and pros and cons are often missing on small or new listings. Offer rows without a shipping price had no shipping shown on idealo.

What about GTINs that aren't on idealo? They are listed in the run's status message and in the OUTPUT record, and they are not charged. A GTIN only returns a product when idealo links that exact barcode to it.

Can I schedule it or use the API? Yes. Schedule runs for daily price tracking, and start runs and read results through the REST API or webhooks.
