Website Price Extractor API docs

The Website Price Extractor finds a pricing or fees page on any SME website and turns goods and services prices into structured dataset rows. Paste a homepage like oakwooddentalsurgery.co.uk — or a direct pricing URL — and get item names, categories, prices, currencies, and price types ready for CSV, Excel, or API export.

What does Website Price Extractor do?

Small business sites rarely expose a clean price API. Prices live in HTML tables, “From £X” notes, and fee schedules buried behind a Prices nav link. This Actor:

Opens your start URL (homepage or pricing page)
Finds the public pricing / fees page when needed
Extracts every priced line item into a fixed schema with AI

Run it on Apify to schedule, monitor, export via API, and connect results to your CRM, spreadsheet, or price-intelligence pipeline.

Why extract SME pricing automatically?

Manual copy-paste from clinic, salon, trades, and professional service sites does not scale. Use this Actor for:

Competitive price monitoring across local service businesses
Lead enrichment with published fee ranges for clinics and practices
Market research on dental, medical, beauty, and professional services
Directory and marketplace data pipelines that need structured tariffs
Franchise / multi-location fee audits from public price lists
Agency reporting packs that compare competitor service menus
Insurance and finance research on typical procedure prices
Sales enablement for vendors selling into SMEs (know the fee landscape)
Procurement baselines when outsourcing local services
SEO / content teams that need accurate “from £X” figures
M&A / diligence snapshots of published rate cards
Price-change tracking when you schedule recurring runs

How much does it cost?

This Actor uses pay-per-event pricing:

Site processed — charged when a start URL’s pricing page is analyzed
Price item — charged per structured line item saved to the dataset

Depending on monetization settings, you may also pay Apify platform usage (compute). Check the Actor’s pricing tab in Store / Console for the live rates. Typical SME sites finish in under a few minutes with a small maxItems value.

Tips

Prefer a direct /prices URL when you already know it — skips discovery
Raise maxPricingPages only when fees are split across multiple pages
Most SME sites work without a proxy; enable one only if you see blocks
Public price lists only — pages behind login are out of scope

FAQ

Can it scrape any website?

It targets public SME pricing / fees pages with readable HTML. JavaScript-heavy apps, PDF-only lists, and login walls are not supported in v1.

Does it invent prices?

No. Only prices present on the page are extracted. Empty results mean no readable price list was found.

Is this legal?

Only scrape publicly available information and respect the target site’s terms and applicable law. You are responsible for how you use the data.
