They run on the Apify platform to scrape websites, process data, connect APIs, and automate workflows. In Batch mode, an Actor accepts a well-defined JSON input, performs an action which can take anything from a few seconds to a few hours, and optionally produces a well-defined JSON output, datasets with results, or files in key-value store. In Standby mode, an Actor provides a web server which can be used as a website, API, or an MCP server. Actors are written with capital "A". ## How to integrate an Actor? If asked about integration, you help developers integrate Actors into their projects. You adapt to their stack and deliver integrations that are safe, well-documented, and production-ready. The best way to integrate Actors is as follows. - **AI agents and MCP clients** — the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/integrations/mcp.md) at `https://mcp.apify.com` (remote, streamable HTTP, OAuth on first use). - **Agentic workflows and local Actor development** — [Agent Skills](https://apify.com/.well-known/agent-skills/index.json) with the [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md): `npm install -g apify-cli`, then `apify login`. - **JavaScript/TypeScript projects** — the official [JS/TS client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md): `npm install apify-client`. - **Python projects** — the official [Python client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md): `pip install apify-client`. - **Any other language** — the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md). For usage examples, see the [API](#api) section below. For more details, see Apify documentation as [Markdown index](https://docs.apify.com/llms.txt) and [Markdown full-text](https://docs.apify.com/llms-full.txt). # README ## Actor - ShopWSS Scraper ### ShopWSS scraper ShopWSS, also known as Warehouse Shoe Sale, is a U.S.-based retailer that specializes in selling shoes, clothing, and accessories. The company sells a variety of items from numerous brands, including Nike, Adidas, Converse, and Puma. In addition to shoes, ShopWSS also sells clothing items like jackets, t-shirts, and pants, as well as accessories such as hats, socks, and bags. Since ShopWSS doesn't provide a good and free API, this actor should help you to retrieve data from it. The ShopWSS data scraper supports the following features: - Collections - You can fetch all products from a given collection. - Search - You can use the search input and fetch all products for a given keyword - Product detail - Fetch all product details including title, description, images, variants, options, and many more ### Bugs, fixes, updates, and changelog This scraper is under active development. If you have any feature requests you can create an issue from [here](https://github.com/epctex-support/shopwss-scraper/issues). ### Input Parameters The input of this scraper should be JSON containing the list of pages on ShopWSS that should be visited. Required fields are: - `search`: (Optional) (String) Keyword that you want to search on ShopWSS. - `startUrls`: (Optional) (Array) List of ShopWSS URLs. You should only provide collections, search URLs, and product detail URLs. - `endPage`: (Optional) (Number) Final number of page that you want to scrape. The default is `Infinite`. This applies to all `search` requests and `startUrls` individually. - `maxItems`: (Optional) (Number) You can limit scraped items. This should be useful when you search through the big lists or search results. - `proxy`: (Required) (Proxy Object) Proxy configuration. - `extendOutputFunction`: (Optional) (String) Function that takes a JQuery handle ($) as an argument and returns an object with data. - `customMapFunction`: (Optional) (String) Function that takes each object's handle as an argument and returns the object with executing the function. This solution requires the use of **Proxy servers**, either your own proxy servers or you can use [Apify Proxy](https://www.apify.com/docs/proxy). #### Tip When you want to scrape over a specific list URL, just copy and paste the link as one of the **startUrl**. If you would like to scrape only the first page of a list then put the link for the page and have the `endPage` as 1. With the last approach that is explained above you can also fetch any interval of pages. If you provide the 5th page of a list and define the `endPage` parameter as 6 then you'll have the 5th and 6th pages only. #### Compute Unit Consumption The actor is optimized to run blazing fast and scrape as many items as possible. Therefore, it forefronts all the detailed requests. If the actor doesn't block very often it'll scrape 100 listings in 2 minutes with ~0.01-0.03 compute units. #### ShopWSS Scraper Input example ```json { "startUrls": [ "https://www.shopwss.com/products/t770_nkwh_nk_xvh?variant=39713821065271", "https://www.shopwss.com/collections/classic-womens" ], "search": "nike", "proxy": { "useApifyProxy": true }, "endPage": 5, "maxItems": 10 } ``` ### During the Run During the run, the actor will output messages letting you know what is going on. Each message always contains a short label specifying which page from the provided list is currently specified. When items are loaded from the page, you should see a message about this event with a loaded item count and total item count for each page. If you provide incorrect input to the actor, it will immediately stop with a failure state and output an explanation of what is wrong. ### ShopWSS Export During the run, the actor stores results into a dataset. Each item is a separate item in the dataset. You can manage the results in any language (Python, PHP, Node JS/NPM). See the FAQ or our API reference to learn more about getting results from this ShopWSS actor. ### Scraped ShopWSS Properties The structure of each item in ShopWSS looks like this: #### Item Detail ```json { "type": "product", "url": "https://www.shopwss.com/products/a03061c", "id": "gid://shopify/Product/6669777535031", "slug": "a03061c", "availableForSale": true, "collections": [ { "id": "gid://shopify/Collection/153375735863", "title": "In Stock" }, { "id": "gid://shopify/Collection/153375834167", "title": "Classic" }, { "id": "gid://shopify/Collection/153376260151", "title": "Size 3.5" }, { "id": "gid://shopify/Collection/153376325687", "title": "Converse Shoes" }, { "id": "gid://shopify/Collection/153376587831", "title": "Size 9.0" }, { "id": "gid://shopify/Collection/153377669175", "title": "Size 5.5" }, { "id": "gid://shopify/Collection/153377800247", "title": "Size 10.0" }, { "id": "gid://shopify/Collection/153378193463", "title": "Shoes" }, { "id": "gid://shopify/Collection/153378455607", "title": "On Sale" }, { "id": "gid://shopify/Collection/153378914359", "title": "Size 7.5" }, { "id": "gid://shopify/Collection/153380749367", "title": "Size 8.5" }, { "id": "gid://shopify/Collection/153381568567", "title": "Women's Shoes" }, { "id": "gid://shopify/Collection/153381797943", "title": "womens-shoes-classic" }, { "id": "gid://shopify/Collection/153382420535", "title": "Women" }, { "id": "gid://shopify/Collection/153382682679", "title": "Size 6.5" }, { "id": "gid://shopify/Collection/153382879287", "title": "Size 4.5" }, { "id": "gid://shopify/Collection/153383665719", "title": "$60 TO $80" }, { "id": "gid://shopify/Collection/153384091703", "title": "Out of Stock" }, { "id": "gid://shopify/Collection/155946745911", "title": "Shoes, Clothing, & Accessories" }, { "id": "gid://shopify/Collection/261554503735", "title": "Women's Shoes, Clothing, & Accessories" } ], "createdAt": "2022-06-20T23:31:18Z", "publishedAt": "2023-01-25T00:33:09Z", "updatedAt": "2023-06-05T22:43:47Z", "description": "CONVERSE RUN STAR HIKE HI-TOP SHOES Upgrade your hi-tops and never look back.
