## What's an Apify Actor?

Actors are web data automations that power AI and operations. 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.

### Zazzle Products Scraper

**Scrape Zazzle products from any search or category URL, up to a million per run.** Every product comes with its title, price, rating, and URL. No login or API key. Export to CSV, JSON, Excel, or XML.

Zazzle's official API needs a partner account and rate-limits you. This reads the public product pages directly, filtered by search term or direct URL, and returns each match in one fixed schema.

| Who uses it | What they scrape Zazzle for |
|---|---|
| Print-on-demand sellers | Which designs and niches are selling on Zazzle right now |
| Market researchers | Pricing and rating trends across Zazzle categories |
| E-commerce analysts | Competitor product catalogs and price positioning |
| Product managers | Feature and design inspiration from top Zazzle listings |

### What it does

This Actor collects Zazzle products by search term or direct URL, and returns each one as a flat row.

- 🔍 **Search filters:** feed a search term and sort by popular, newest, or price.
- 🔗 **Direct URL:** paste any Zazzle search or category URL to scrape exactly that page.
- ⚡ **Performance toggle:** skip optional fields like tags and related products for faster runs.
- 📦 **Bulk export:** collect up to 1,000,000 products per run and export to CSV, JSON, Excel, or XML.

Results export to CSV, JSON, Excel, or XML, or straight from the API.

### What you can do with Zazzle data

**📈 Track print-on-demand trends.**

A POD seller runs a weekly search for 'funny t-shirt' sorted by popular to see which designs are gaining traction.

**💰 Monitor competitor pricing.**

An e-commerce analyst scrapes a competitor's Zazzle store URL daily to track price changes and new products.

**🔎 Research product niches.**

A market researcher searches for 'wedding invitations' and filters by newest to spot emerging styles.

**📊 Build a product database.**

A product manager scrapes a category URL to collect all listings into a CSV for internal review.

### Why choose this scraper

|  | What you get |
|---|---|
| **No API key** | Scrape public Zazzle pages without registration or rate limits |
| **Flexible input** | Use a search term or a direct URL, whichever fits your workflow |
| **Fixed schema** | Every product returns the same flat fields for easy analysis |
| **Scalable** | Collect up to a million products per run |

### How it compares

This Actor focuses on fast, flexible Zazzle scraping with a simple input schema, while competitors may offer additional features like trademark screening or automatic proxies.

| Feature | ParseForge | Print on Demand T-Shirt Design & Listing Generator | Zazzle Products Scraper - Low-cost | Zazzle Scraper |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Scrape by search term | Yes | Not listed | Yes | Not listed |
| Scrape by direct URL | Yes | Not listed | Not listed | Not listed |

### Configure the run

Drive the Actor from a search term or a direct Zazzle URL, and set the sort order and optional fields before the run starts. The Input tab lists every parameter.

A first run with the defaults:

```json
{
  "maxItems": 10
}
```

A larger pull:

```json
{
  "maxItems": 200
}
```

### Pricing

Pay-per-result: **$0.0354 per result** collected. You pay only for the results written to your dataset.

| Results collected | Approximate cost |
|---|---|
| 100 results | $3.54 |
| 1,000 results | $35.40 |
| 10,000 results | $354.00 |

New Apify accounts start with $5 in free credit.

### Free users

Free-plan runs return up to 10 results as a preview. [Upgrade your Apify plan](https://console.apify.com/sign-up?fpr=vmoqkp) to collect up to 1,000,000 results per run.

### Run it

1. [Create a free Apify account with $5 in credit](https://console.apify.com/sign-up?fpr=vmoqkp).
2. Open the [Zazzle Products Scraper](https://apify.com/parseforge/zazzle-scraper?fpr=vmoqkp).
3. Set your inputs and any filters, then click **Start**.
4. Export the results as CSV, Excel, JSON, or XML from the **Dataset** tab.

Run it programmatically through the [Apify API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2) (`run-sync-get-dataset-items`) or the [ApifyClient](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js) for JavaScript and Python.

### Use with AI agents (MCP)

Give an AI agent live access to Zazzle through the Model Context Protocol. Add the Actor to Claude, Cursor, or any MCP client:

```bash
claude mcp add --transport http apify "https://mcp.apify.com/?tools=parseforge/zazzle-scraper"
```

Then prompt it in plain language to run the scraper and read back the results.

### Troubleshooting

**Why am I getting no results?**

Check that your search term or URL is correct. Zazzle may have changed its page structure, or the search returned no products. Try a broader term or a different URL.

**The run is slow. How can I speed it up?**

Set extractOptionalFields to false. This skips tags and related products, which significantly reduces the number of page requests.

**I get an error when using both startUrl and searchQuery.**

These inputs are mutually exclusive. Provide only one of them. Clear the other field and run again.

**Some products are missing fields like price or rating.**

Zazzle may not show those fields on every product page. The Actor returns whatever is available; missing fields will be empty in the output.

**The Actor stops before reaching maxItems.**

Zazzle may have fewer products than your maxItems setting, or the search results are paginated and the Actor reached the end. Try a different search or URL.

### FAQ

| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Do I need a Zazzle API key? | No. This Actor scrapes public Zazzle pages directly, so no API key or registration is required. |
| Can I scrape a specific Zazzle category? | Yes. Paste the category URL into the startUrl field, or use a search term to get results from all categories. |
| What fields are returned for each product? | The Actor returns a flat row with fields like title, price, rating, and product URL. The exact fields are shown in the sample output. |
| How many products can I scrape in one run? | You can set maxItems up to 1,000,000. The Actor will stop after collecting that many products. |
| Can I sort the results? | Yes. Use the sort input to order by popular, newest, price low to high, or price high to low. |
| What is the extractOptionalFields option? | When enabled, the Actor also extracts tags and related products for each item. This is slower but gives more data. |
| Can I use both startUrl and searchQuery? | No. They are mutually exclusive. Use either a direct URL or a search term, not both. |
| Is this Actor legal? | You should only scrape public data in accordance with Zazzle's terms of service and applicable laws. Apify is not responsible for how you use the data. |
| Can I schedule this Actor to run automatically? | Yes. You can set up a schedule in Apify to run the Actor at regular intervals, such as daily or weekly. |
| What formats can I export the data to? | You can export the results to CSV, JSON, Excel, or XML from the Apify dataset. |
