Use Bol.com Product Search, Price & Stock Extractor with Python

Searches Bol.com by keyword, category, EAN, or promotions page and returns price, rating, stock status, and seller for each product, with no login required.

1. Choose the data you need

Review the published README for supported collection modes, examples, and limits. The recipe below uses the current published input definition.

2. Prepare a source-based input

This JSON contains published prefills and required-field defaults. Review every value for your task before running it; it is not a promise of successful collection.

{
  "categoryUrls": [],
  "condition": "any",
  "inStockOnly": false,
  "includeDetails": false,
  "includeOffers": false,
  "includeSponsored": true,
  "language": "nl",
  "marketplace": "nl",
  "maxItems": 1,
  "maxPages": 0,
  "mode": "search",
  "productUrls": [],
  "searchQueries": [
    "laptop"
  ],
  "sortBy": "RELEVANCE"
}

Download input.example.json and save your reviewed copy as input.json.

Field	Type	Required	Description
`mode`	string	required	What to collect from Bol.com.
`searchQueries`	array	optional	One or more keywords to search for (mode=search).
`productUrls`	array	optional	Bol.com product links, EAN-8/EAN-13 barcodes, or numeric product IDs (mode=productDetails).
`categoryUrls`	array	optional	Bol.com listing links or numeric category IDs (mode=categoryBrowse).
`marketplace`	string	optional	Which Bol.com shop to use for keyword searches and numeric category IDs.
`language`	string	optional	Shop language for keyword searches and numeric category IDs.
`sortBy`	string	optional	Result ordering for search and browsing. Price sorts use the emitted numeric price; RATING_ASC follows Bol's rating score, not the visible average.
`minPrice`	integer	optional	Only keep products at or above this price.
`maxPrice`	integer	optional	Only keep products at or below this price.
`minRating`	number	optional	Only keep products rated at or above this value (0-5).
`condition`	string	optional	Only keep products with this offer condition.
`inStockOnly`	boolean	optional	Only keep products that are currently in stock.
`includeSponsored`	boolean	optional	Keep sponsored (advertised) products in search and browse results.
`includeDetails`	boolean	optional	Visit each product page to add EAN, full description, specifications, all images, rating distribution, and recent reviews. Slower, but more complete.
`includeOffers`	boolean	optional	Add the first page of seller offers (price, shipping, condition, seller rating) for each product. Bol.com paginates offers; only the first page is returned.
`maxItems`	integer	optional	Maximum number of products to return across the whole run.
`maxPages`	integer	optional	Page limit per query or listing. 0 uses the source's own page limit.

3. Start an Actor run

Set APIFY_TOKEN in your environment. Python 3.10 or newer is sufficient; this recipe uses no third-party packages.

Execution may incur charges. Review current pricing on Apify. The request asks for a 120-second timeout and a charge limit; these settings are subject to Apify’s pricing and do not guarantee an all-inclusive spending cap.

import json
import os
import urllib.request

# Save the schema-derived example as input.json; review and edit it first.
with open("input.json", encoding="utf-8") as stream:
    actor_input = json.load(stream)

token = os.environ["APIFY_TOKEN"]
request = urllib.request.Request(
    "https://api.apify.com/v2/acts/5o3SucGekbCXdfc83/runs?timeout=120&maxTotalChargeUsd=0.50",
    data=json.dumps(actor_input).encode("utf-8"),
    headers={"Authorization": "Bearer " + token, "Content-Type": "application/json"},
    method="POST",
)
# This starts a potentially billable run. Do not automatically retry this POST.
with urllib.request.urlopen(request, timeout=40) as response:
    run = json.load(response)["data"]
print("Run ID:", run["id"])
print("Status:", run["status"])
# Inspect and download results in Apify Console once the run succeeds.

4. Inspect the actual results

Open the run in Apify Console and wait for a successful completion. Use the published output schema to locate results and the dataset schema to understand declared views. Missing or optional record fields must not be treated as guaranteed values.

Bol.com products with current price, list price, availability, seller, EAN, rating, images, specifications, reviews, and optional seller offers.

Questions before you run

Which inputs are required?

The published required fields are mode

What does this guide verify?

The fields, prefills, and schema links are rendered from the published build. This is a usage recipe, not a paid live extraction test. Source availability and collection results can vary.

What if the run request times out?

Check Apify Console before retrying. The first request may already have created a run. Do not automatically repeat a run-creation POST.
