## Pricing

from $1.00 / 1,000 product results

This Actor is paid per event. You are not charged for the Apify platform usage, but only a fixed price for specific events.
Since this Actor supports Apify Store discounts, the price gets lower the higher subscription plan you have.

## What's an Apify Actor?

Actors are a software tools running on the Apify platform, for all kinds of web data extraction and automation use cases.
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.

In JavaScript/TypeScript projects, use official [JavaScript/TypeScript client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js.md):

```bash
npm install apify-client
```

In Python projects, use official [Python client library](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python.md):

```bash
pip install apify-client
```

In shell scripts, use [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md):

````bash
# MacOS / Linux
curl -fsSL https://apify.com/install-cli.sh | bash
# Windows
irm https://apify.com/install-cli.ps1 | iex
```bash

In AI frameworks, you might use the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/platform/integrations/mcp.md).

If your project is in a different language, use 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

## Target Australia Scraper

Extract products and customer reviews from **target.com.au** — Australia's Target
department store. Search by keyword or paste product, category, and search URLs.
Every product comes back as one flat record with pricing, images, category,
stock, variations, and (optionally) full ratings and reviews.

### What you get

- **Product identity** — name, brand, product id, product URL, category path
- **Pricing** — current price, was-price, OnePass price, on-sale flag, currency
- **Details** — description, feature list, care instructions
- **Merchandising** — colour, size/colour variants, images, stock, exclusivity flags
- **Ratings & reviews** (optional) — average rating, review count, rating
  distribution, recommended count, and each review's author, rating, title,
  body, date, verified-purchase flag, helpfulness, and sub-ratings

### Modes

**Search mode** — provide one or more keywords and, optionally, a brand, colour,
size, price range, and a sort order (relevance, latest, rating, price, brand).

**URL mode** — paste any mix of:
- product URLs — `https://www.target.com.au/p/<slug>/<code>`
- category URLs — `https://www.target.com.au/c/<path>/<id>`
- search URLs — `https://www.target.com.au/search?text=<keywords>`

Both modes walk pages forward until the result set or your `Max products` cap is
reached.

### Example input

```json
{
  "mode": "search",
  "searchTerms": ["linen shirt"],
  "sortBy": "price-asc",
  "maxItems": 50,
  "fetchReviews": true,
  "maxReviews": 20
}
````

      "subRatings": { "Quality": 5, "Value For Money": 5 }
    }
  ]
}
```

### Ratings & reviews

Turn on **Fetch ratings and reviews** to attach ratings and reviews to each
product. Products with no reviews leave the rating and review fields absent (they
are never faked). Review photos and videos are intentionally not included.

### Filters & sorting

- **Sort:** relevance, latest, rating, price (low→high / high→low), brand
- **Filters:** brand, colour, size (exact facet values), and a price range

### Connection

Runs on Apify Proxy — the default automatic pool is enough. Target Australia
serves its home market, so residential Australian exits are used automatically as
a reliability fallback if needed.

### Export to your apps (optional)

Pipe results straight into Notion, Linear, Airtable, or Apify via Model Context
Protocol (MCP) connectors. Authorize a connector under **Settings → API &
Integrations**, then select it in the input. This is a side-channel; it never
changes the dataset.

### Notes

- Prices are in AUD.
- One dataset row per product; reviews are nested under each product.
- Use `Max products` and `Max pages per search` to bound a run.

# Actor input Schema

## `mode` (type: `string`):

search = provide search terms and filters. url = paste product, category, or search URLs and walk them.

## `searchTerms` (type: `array`):

One or more keywords to search, e.g. shirt, towel, kids toys.

## `sortBy` (type: `string`):

Order of results within each search.

## `brand` (type: `string`):

Filter to one brand (exact facet value, e.g. Target Woman).

## `colour` (type: `string`):

Filter to one colour (exact facet value, e.g. White).

## `minPrice` (type: `integer`):

Only keep products at or above this price.

## `maxPrice` (type: `integer`):

Only keep products at or below this price.

## `urls` (type: `array`):

Paste product, category, or search URLs from target.com.au. Multi-URL supported. Filter fields still apply.

## `fetchReviews` (type: `boolean`):

Attach ratings, review stats and individual reviews to each product (detail enrichment).

## `maxReviews` (type: `integer`):

Cap on reviews captured per product. 0 disables reviews.

## `maxItems` (type: `integer`):

Total products to return across all searches or URLs. 0 = unlimited.

## `maxPages` (type: `integer`):

Safety cap on pages walked per search term or category.

## `proxy` (type: `object`):

Apify Proxy configuration. The default automatic (datacenter) pool works well; residential is used only as a reliability fallback.

## `mcpConnectors` (type: `array`):

Optionally send results into the apps you already use, via Model Context Protocol (MCP) connectors. Authorize one under Apify then Settings then API & Integrations, then select it here. Notion gets a page-per-item export; other connectors get a best-effort write. Leave empty to skip. Supported: Notion, Linear, Airtable, Apify.

## `notionParentPageUrl` (type: `string`):

URL or id of the Notion page under which item pages are created. Required only for the Notion export.

## `maxNotifyListings` (type: `integer`):

Cap on items written to each connector per run. Does not affect the dataset.

```json
{
  "mode": "search",
  "searchTerms": [
    "shirt"
