Yes. The actor handles any Fnac.com search URL regardless of category — electronics, books, gaming, toys, home appliances, and more. The extracted fields adapt to the available attributes per category.
Can I scrape marketplace sellers on Fnac?
Yes. The actor captures both Fnac's own listings and third-party marketplace seller information, including seller names and their ratings.
What about Fnac.be and Fnac.pt (Belgium and Portugal)?
The actor is primarily optimised for Fnac.com (France). For other regional Fnac domains, results may vary — contact me directly if you need a custom solution for a specific regional portal.

Schedule the actor to run daily via Apify's built-in scheduler, then use a webhook to notify your system whenever new data is available. You can then diff results programmatically to detect price changes.
