Hello! Would you be able to create the same Actor that provides the same data but instead for Ulta?

Hello! Yes, I understand you'd like to replicate the same Actor but for Ulta instead. Could you please clarify any specific details or context regarding the data you need? This will help ensure I provide accurate and relevant information.

Hello! Thank you so much for your quick reply! And thank you so much for looking to implement this!
Ideally, I would like to get the following data:
Product URL Product ID Sku Product name Product image URL Brand name, Swatches:
- Swatch name
- Swatch image URL
- Swatch description Categories
Also it would be wonderful to be able to get all the brands and their logo image urls - both for Sephora and for Ulta.
Let me know if this is doable, and if so, what you feel the ETA is.
Thank you so so much! I really appreciate it.

Hello! Just following up on this. Let me know if this is doable! :)

Thank you for your feedback. The Ulta Scraper is under development now. I'm encountering some complexities due to Ulta's intricate data structure and their website's strong anti-scraping technology. I'm working diligently to overcome these challenges and anticipate the Ulta Scraper will be ready and available this weekend.

Thanks so much for the update and for working on this! I'm sure that there are some roadblocks. I appreciate it!

The Ulta Scraper is now available for use. Please be aware that brand and brand logo support are not implemented in this initial version. Support for these features will be added in a future update. Have a try the scraper and share your feedback. Your input is valuable to us.

Thank you so much! I will try to test it out tomorrow! Much appreciated again! I will keep you posted once I do test it out. 😊

Dear huda.dabbouseh,
About a week ago, we provided you with the new crawler you requested. We were excited for you to try it out and see how it works for your needs. We're just checking in to see if you've had a chance to use the crawler yet. If so, we'd love to hear about your experience. Have you encountered any issues or have any initial feedback or suggestions? Please feel free to reply at your convenience.

Hi!!!
Yes it's been on my list. I've had a lot of late nights with my full-time job which delayed me with testing this.
I'm hoping to start testing today! I will keep you posted. Thank you so much for your patience and I'm so sorry again.
huda.dabbouseh
Hello! So I tried it out and unfortunately it's running into lots of errors :-/ (See attached log "nQeB76tbTWbSqcclL.log"
Also in my previous test run, the numbers were not right and so the crawl in general just was buggy :-/ (See attached log "LFxJzPx0arMrbf0Mu.log" and the numbers below) RESULTS 8
REQUESTS 10 of 131 handled
Succeeded Finished! Total 10 requests: 10 succeeded, 0 failed.
huda.dabbouseh
Looks like the network is giving 404 errors when attempting to attach files. Let me know if you need them and if so, how I can get them to you.
Thanks!

Hi, thanks for your feedback. give me the url, i'll check it them later.
huda.dabbouseh
Do you mean the url I tried to crawl?
huda.dabbouseh
Ok so looks like I can send the link to the runs themselves:

after some test, Residential is recommended. i added some retry logic when fetch sku failed. please use Residential proxies and try again.
huda.dabbouseh
Hello! Thank you for working on a fix! I went to go try but forgot that my Actor rental trial expired. Is there a way I can test without paying yet?

sorry to hear that. you can take a look and my run history. https://console.apify.com/view/runs/TzxCgO4TC6FtXsJ9b
huda.dabbouseh
Thank you for sending that link. I noticed that it that the request timed out.
If I go to that link, it says there are 5,662 products. But it looks like from the actor run, about 1,000 were ran and outputted.

yes, i limited the actor to run one hour.
huda.dabbouseh
Ah ok. I didn't realize it took that long.

each product of ulta got so many skus, the actor should fetch these skus one by one which slows down the progress.
huda.dabbouseh
Hello! I'm going to Rent the Actor and give this a try again!
Does the Actor always only run for an hour then stop? Let me know.

thanks very much. i'v checked that there is a default timeout setting of the actor.i'v removed the default timeout option now. please try again.
huda.dabbouseh
Ok trying again. Prior to seeing this email, I tried running it. What was supposed to be over 5700 product crawls ended up only being 66 product crawls. Half of which failed. So I got only 33 results after the Run completed.
Trying again now!
huda.dabbouseh
It would be cool if we could add the failed ones to a list, and then rerun the crawl just on those failed ones. Is that possible?
huda.dabbouseh
Okay so now the run handles 131 requests and gave back 75 results.
So it's not going through all the products in the input URL. And it's only giving me half the results back.

you should use Residential proxy to fetch for ulta have ip check.
it's a good idea to rerun the failed urls. let me check whether apify framework support this.
