Input Parameters

Parameter	Type	Description	Default
categoryUrl	string	Category page address from billiger.de	Notebooks category if empty
searchQuery	string	Deprecated, search mode was removed	ignored
maxResults	number	Maximum products to return	50
includeDetails	boolean	Fetch detail pages for specs, brand, EAN	false

Pagination follows the ?page=N links of the category page.

Search mode removed

billiger.de does not allow automated access to its search pages, so the actor no longer searches by keyword. If only searchQuery is set, the run sends no request, charges nothing, ends with a short message and writes an OUTPUT record with the status search-removed. If both are set, categoryUrl is used and searchQuery is ignored.

To find a category URL, open the category you want on billiger.de in your browser and copy the address from the address bar, for example https://www.billiger.de/show/kategorie/2303.htm. Paste it into Category URL. Addresses with filter, size or sort parameters are not accepted.

Connection

Each request starts on the standard connection. If billiger.de refuses it, the actor retries with a new session, then moves to a more reliable connection, and the next request starts on the standard connection again. Some Apify plans do not include the more reliable connections. If every connection is refused and no rows were found, the run ends with a short message, writes an OUTPUT record with the reason, and charges nothing.
