About Idealo

Idealo is a leading German price-comparison platform that aggregates offers for electronics, appliances, fashion and household products from many retailers. Product and search pages list competing merchant offers and prices that are valuable for price-intelligence work.

Scraping note: Idealo applies bot detection and may show consent or anti-scraping interstitials, so realistic headers, consent handling and proxy rotation are advisable.

Example Idealo page

https://www.idealo.de/preisvergleich/MainSearchProductCategory/EXAMPLE.html

Pass a URL like this as url= to the Universal Web Scraper API and get it back as JSON.

Fields you can extract from Idealo

check_small product title check_small lowest price check_small merchant name check_small offer count check_small product rating check_small price history

Common use: Aggregate competing merchant prices for a product on Idealo to monitor the German market's lowest available price over time.

Idealo Scraper API FAQ

Is it legal to scrape Idealo?

expand_more
Scraping publicly accessible Idealo data is generally legal in the US under the Ninth Circuit's hiQ v. LinkedIn ruling, which held that scraping public web data does not violate the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act. It does not override Idealo's own Terms of Service, which are a contract matter, so check those for your use case and comply with data laws such as GDPR. This is general information, not legal advice.

How do I scrape Idealo without getting blocked?

expand_more
You scrape Idealo without getting blocked by sending the URL to the Universal Web Scraper API, which fetches it through rotating residential proxies and retries on soft blocks. Your own IP is never used, so Idealo's anti-bot layer sees ordinary residential traffic instead of a server.

What data does the Idealo Scraper API return?

expand_more
Through the Universal Web Scraper API you get the Idealo page back as JSON: rendered HTML, plain text, or auto-parsed content depending on the parse mode you pass. You choose the URL, Chocodata returns the data.

How much does the Idealo Scraper API cost?

expand_more
The Idealo Scraper API costs nothing to start: the Free plan includes 1,000 requests per month (5,000 credits) across all 235 targets. After that, monthly plans begin at $19, or you top up pay-as-you-go at $0.90 per 1,000 successful requests. One request is 5 credits, and non-2xx responses are never charged.

Do I need a Idealo account or login?

expand_more
No Idealo login is needed for public pages. You point the Universal Web Scraper API at a publicly accessible Idealo URL with your Chocodata API key; you do not hand over any Idealo credentials. Login-gated content is not supported.
