E-commerce aggregators — power product comparison engines covering Africa's largest e-commerce platform.

💰 Pricing

This actor uses Pay Per Event (PPE) pricing — you are charged only for results produced.

A typical run of 100 products from one country costs under $0.10 in compute time and results charges.

💡 Tips for best results

• Use specific keywords — "samsung galaxy a55" returns better quality data than "phone".
• Start without detail mode — enable scrapeDetails only when you need specs or images; it's 5–10x slower.
• Use price filters — minPrice/maxPrice reduce noise and keep you within your budget.
• Multi-country in one run — passing ["ng","ke","gh"] in a single run is more efficient than three separate runs.
• Residential proxies — the default proxy setting should work. If you see empty results, switch to residential proxies in the proxy configuration.
• Schedule regular runs — use the Apify scheduler to run daily or weekly for price trend monitoring.

⚠️ Limitations

• 2,000 results per country per query — this is a hard limit imposed by Jumia's search pagination (max 40 pages × 50 products). For broader coverage, split your keyword into multiple specific terms.
• Dynamic content — Jumia's image URLs use lazy loading; the actor captures the data-src attribute for actual image URLs.
• Rate limiting — the actor uses polite delays (1–3 seconds) between requests to avoid blocks. Very large runs may occasionally encounter CAPTCHAs; residential proxies mitigate this.
• Prices in local currencies — each country returns prices in its own currency. Currency conversion is not performed; compare using your own FX rates.
• Detail page availability — some product detail pages may have different layouts (Jumia frequently A/B tests its UI). The actor handles parser failures gracefully, falling back to search-result data.
