Pricing

You pay per event. Each returned offer or brochure is one result event.

Charge event	Unit	Free-plan price	Condition
Actor Start	Per start	$0.00005 per start	Charged when the Actor starts running.
Offer / brochure	Per result	$0.00225 per result	One offer or brochure returned, with all fields.

apify-actor-start is charged once per GB of run memory, minimum one event.

Rate-based estimates at Free-plan prices with one start event (these show the rate, not a capped Free-plan run):

Results	Calculation
1,000	1,000 x $0.00225 + $0.00005 = $2.25005 on the Free plan
10,000	10,000 x $0.00225 + $0.00005 = $22.50005 on the Free plan

At Free-plan prices, the $5 credit corresponds to 2,222 priced results after one start event.

You pay only for the events listed above. This Actor does not use the Pay per event + usage option, so the platform usage of your runs (compute, proxy traffic and storage) is not billed to you separately. The Apify Free plan includes $5 of monthly platform usage credit.

How to use

1. Enter one or more kaufda.de URLs, such as the homepage, a retailer page, a city page or a category page.
2. Choose whether to include brochure rows with includeBrochures. Leave it enabled to also get circular records, or set it to false for product offers only. Offers are added before brochures on each page, so with a small maxItems (or the Free-plan cap) brochure rows can be missing; see Limits.
3. Set maxItems to choose the maximum number of records; use 0 for no explicit cap.
4. Keep the default proxy configuration for the recommended German residential egress. You only need your Apify account; no kaufda API key, login or proxy credentials are required.
5. Run the Actor and inspect the records as they stream into the dataset. Each row is tagged as an offer or brochure.
6. Schedule repeat runs through Apify Schedules; daily is a reasonable starting point for price-monitoring jobs.

Input parameters

Parameter	What it does	Default
startUrls	Array of kaufda.de URLs to read. Supported page types include the homepage, retailer pages, city pages and category pages. If no URLs are supplied, the Actor uses https://www.kaufda.de/.	https://www.kaufda.de/
includeBrochures	Also returns one brochure record per circular alongside product offers.	true
maxItems	Maximum number of records returned. 0 means no explicit cap.	200
proxyConfiguration	Proxy configuration used to reach the public kaufda.de pages. The recommended default uses Apify’s RESIDENTIAL group in Germany.	useApifyProxy: true, apifyProxyGroups: ["RESIDENTIAL"], apifyProxyCountry: "DE"
disableUsageStats	Set to true to turn off the run summary described in Usage statistics.	false

Limits and edge cases

Condition	What happens	What to do
maxItems is reached	The Actor stops adding records at the requested total across the input URLs.	Increase maxItems or use 0 for no explicit cap.
maxItems is small and includeBrochures is true	Offers from a page are added before its brochures, so a page with enough offers can fill the cap and return zero brochure rows. Brochure rows are only returned if room is left under the cap.	Raise maxItems, or use a cap above the offer count of the page.
Each URL is read once	Each URL is fetched as one page; the Actor does not follow links to other pages. The sample above covers only the homepage, so other page types are not demonstrated.	Add each retailer, city or category page as its own URL and check the output.
includeBrochures is false	Brochure records are not returned; only offer records can be added.	Set it to true when circular-level metadata is needed.
The same offer or brochure appears through multiple URLs	Duplicate offers are removed by offer ID, and duplicate brochures are removed by content ID or brochure ID.	Use multiple URLs for coverage without expecting repeated rows.
An extracted offer has no ID or title, or a brochure has no ID	That incomplete row is skipped rather than pushed to the dataset.	Check the target page and run it again if required data is missing.
The run is on the Free plan	Each run returns at most 25 results, even if maxItems is higher or 0.	Use a paid plan for larger runs.
A fetch raises an error, times out, or kaufda returns a detected block response	The Actor makes up to 4 attempts per URL, rotating the proxy session, then skips the URL and continues with the next one. Records already pushed remain in the dataset.	Verify the URL, keep the recommended German residential proxy configuration and rerun.
A run is aborted, times out, or fails after records have been pushed	Records already pushed remain in the dataset; records not yet pushed are not available.	Run the Actor again for the remaining records.
A page contains no extractable offer or brochure records	The run can finish with no records for that URL.	Confirm that the URL is a supported public kaufda.de page and try again.

FAQ

How much does it cost to scrape kaufda.de circulars and offers?

An Actor Start event costs $0.00005 on the Free plan, and each returned offer or brochure result costs $0.00225 on the Free plan. With one start event, 1,000 results at Free-plan rates cost 1,000 x $0.00225 + $0.00005 = $2.25005.

What if the dataset is empty?

The Actor extracts records from kaufda.de’s embedded __NEXT_DATA__ data. Check that the URL is a public kaufda.de homepage, retailer page, city page or category page, and confirm that brochure inclusion is enabled when circular rows are expected.

What if a kaufda.de page is not working?

When a URL cannot be fetched or is blocked, the URL is skipped and the run continues with later URLs. Verify the URL, keep the recommended German residential proxy configuration, and run it again.

Is scraping public kaufda.de data legal or allowed?

The Actor reads public kaufda.de pages. Whether a particular extraction, storage or downstream use is legal or allowed depends on your use case, the source terms and applicable law.
