## 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.

# README

## Sephora Product Scraper - Prices, Ratings & Reviews

> **Disclaimer:** This Actor is an independent tool and is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by Sephora or any of its subsidiaries. All trademarks mentioned are the property of their respective owners. "Sephora" is referenced only to describe the publicly available website this Actor collects data from.

Scrape beauty products from **Sephora** by keyword and get clean, structured data: **brand, product name, price, star rating, review count, bestseller / new / exclusive flags, image and product URL**.

Fast, and no login or API key.

### What it does

- Searches Sephora by **keyword** (`lipstick`, `mascara`, `vitamin c serum`, a brand like `Dior`, ...).
- Returns each product with **brand**, **name**, **price** (list price / range), **rating** and **review count**, sale status, and merchandising flags (bestseller, new, Sephora-exclusive, online-only).
- Paginates automatically up to your **Max products**.

### Example output

```json
{
  "type": "product",
  "productId": "P467208",
  "brand": "Lancôme",
  "name": "Lash Idôle Lash-Lifting & Volumizing Mascara",
  "sku": "2417145",
  "listPrice": "$16.00 - $30.00",
  "onSale": false,
  "rating": 4.5006,
  "reviews": 10760,
  "isBestseller": true,
  "isNew": false,
  "image": "https://www.sephora.com/productimages/sku/s2417145-main-zoom.jpg",
  "url": "https://www.sephora.com/product/...-P467208"
}
```

### Input

| Field | Description |
|---|---|
| **Search keywords** | Product keywords or brand names (one search each). |
| **Max products** | Cap across all searches. |
| **Proxy** | Default Apify proxy works; US residential IPs are the most reliable. |

### Use cases

- **Price & assortment monitoring** - track prices, ranges and sale status across the catalog.
- **Ratings & review research** - rank products by rating and review volume by category.
- **Competitive / brand analysis** - pull a brand's full lineup with pricing and social proof.
- **Product feeds** - build a structured beauty-product dataset.

### Notes

Data comes from Sephora's public catalog search API (rich product JSON), which is far more reliable than scraping the storefront HTML. `rating` is a 0-5 star average; `listPrice` may be a range when a product has multiple sizes. Use US residential proxies for the highest reliability at scale.

### Run it from an agent (MCP / API)

Agent-ready: typed input schema, structured JSON output. An agent can pull Sephora products for a keyword or brand in one step. Pass `searchQueries` and read the `product` records back.

### Agent-ready: autonomous payments (x402 & Skyfire)

This actor is **agent-ready** — AI agents can discover it, run it, and **pay for it autonomously**, with no Apify account and no human in the loop. It uses [pay-per-event](https://docs.apify.com/platform/actors/publishing/monetize/pay-per-event) pricing and [limited permissions](https://docs.apify.com/platform/actors/development/permissions), so it qualifies for Apify's agentic-payment standards:

- **[x402](https://docs.apify.com/platform/integrations/x402)** — an open, HTTP-native payment protocol. Agents pay per run in USDC on the Base network directly through the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/platform/integrations/mcp) — no account, no API key.
- **[Skyfire](https://docs.apify.com/platform/integrations/skyfire)** — agent-to-service payments for fully autonomous AI-agent workflows.

Building an AI agent, MCP tool, or autonomous data pipeline? This scraper is ready to plug in and pay as it goes.

### How much does it cost to scrape Sephora?

This Actor uses Apify's **pay-per-event** pricing: you are charged only for the results it delivers, with no monthly rental and no start fee. The events it can charge are:

- **Product** - One Sephora product (brand, name, price, rating, reviews, flags, image, URL)

The current price of each event is shown on the **Pricing** tab of this page. Set a maximum total charge on the run if you want a hard cap on spend, and use the input limits to control how much the Actor fetches.

### Automate & schedule

Run this Actor on autopilot and pull results into your own stack:

- **[Apify API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2)** - start runs, fetch datasets and manage schedules over REST.
- **[apify-client for JavaScript](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/)** and **[apify-client for Python](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/)** - official SDKs.
- **[Schedules](https://docs.apify.com/platform/schedules)** - run it hourly, daily or weekly and keep your dataset current.
- **[Webhooks](https://docs.apify.com/platform/integrations/webhooks)** - trigger downstream actions (CRM import, Slack alert, email sequence) the moment a run finishes.

```js
import { ApifyClient } from 'apify-client';

const client = new ApifyClient({ token: 'MY_APIFY_TOKEN' });

const run = await client.actor('scrapesage/sephora-scraper').call({
    // your input - see the Input section above
});

const { items } = await client.dataset(run.defaultDatasetId).listItems();
console.log(`Got ${items.length} records`);
```

### Integrate with any app

## MCP server setup

```json
{
    "mcpServers": {
        "apify": {
            "type": "http",
            "url": "https://mcp.apify.com/?tools=fetch-actor-details,scrapesage/sephora-scraper"
        }
    }
}

```

The hosted server signs you in with OAuth on first connect, so no API token belongs in this config. Clients without OAuth support can send an `Authorization: Bearer <APIFY_API_TOKEN>` header instead, using a token from API & Integrations in Apify Console (https://console.apify.com/settings/integrations).
