## 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

### What does SSENSE Products do?

**Scrape SSENSE luxury fashion product listings** from public category pages — **brand, USD price with currency, SKU, title, images, and product URLs**. Lightweight `curl_cffi` (Chrome TLS) path — **no browser and no login**. Export **JSON or CSV** via Apify API, schedule, or MCP.

**Unofficial.** This Actor is **not affiliated with, endorsed by, or maintained by SSENSE**. It reads **public** category listing pages only.

**Dashboards:** connect **Power BI**, **Tableau**, **Looker Studio**, or **Qlik** to the dataset API — see *Export to Power BI, Tableau, Looker Studio & Qlik* near the end. **AI agents:** paste this Actor's Store page URL into an Apify-capable agent (MCP / Claude / Cursor with Apify), create an Apify account and API token once, and the agent can run the Actor and wire up the output.

#### Why use this SSENSE scraper?

- 🛍️ Men and women clothing (and other) category paths
- 💵 Price with **USD** currency from JSON-LD Product offers
- 🖼️ Image URLs + brand / SKU / stable productId
- 🛡️ Direct HTTP with Chrome impersonation — no Playwright

#### How to scrape SSENSE products

1. Open this Actor in [Apify Console](https://console.apify.com/).
2. Click **Start** on the prefilled men clothing URL (`maxItems` 5).
3. Add more `startUrls` or `categoryPaths` (e.g. `en-us/women/clothing`).
4. Enable Apify Proxy if Cloudflare blocks your IP.
5. Export the dataset or pull via API.

```json
{
  "startUrls": [
    {"url": "https://www.ssense.com/en-us/men/clothing"}
  ],
  "maxItems": 5,
  "proxyType": "none"
}
```

#### How much does it cost?

**Pay per event (PPE):** Actor start + each product **result** row. On Free, results are about **$2.00 / 1,000**; paid plans are lower (see the Pricing tab).

#### Input

| Field | Description |
|-------|-------------|
| `startUrls` | Category / listing URLs (primary — competitor-compatible) |
| `categoryPaths` | Optional path alias when `startUrls` is empty |
| `maxItems` | Cap on product rows |
| `maxPages` | Pagination cap per category |
| `proxyType` / `proxyConfiguration` | Optional Apify Proxy |

#### Sample output

```json
{
  "productId": "241234M123456",
  "sku": "241234M123456",
  "title": "Example Designer Jacket",
  "brand": "Example Brand",
  "price": 890.0,
  "currency": "USD",
  "url": "https://www.ssense.com/en-us/men/product/example/jacket/241234m123456",
  "imageUrls": ["https://img.ssensemedia.com/..."],
  "category": "en-us/men/clothing",
  "scrapedAt": "2026-09-10T10:00:00+00:00",
  "sourceUrl": "https://www.ssense.com/en-us/men/clothing"
}
```

#### FAQ

##### Is this official SSENSE software?

No. It is unofficial and not affiliated with SSENSE.

##### Do I need an SSENSE account?

No — public category pages only. No login or paywall bypass.

##### Why Chrome impersonation?

Bot user-agents (including Googlebot) often hit Cloudflare challenges on SSENSE. This Actor uses Chrome TLS fingerprints instead.

##### Can AI agents call this?

Yes — Actor ID `bakos_bence/ssense-products` via Apify API or [MCP](https://mcp.apify.com).

##### Something broke?

Open the **Issues** tab on this Actor's page.

#### Related Actors

| Actor | Use together when… |

#### For AI agents & LLM apps

Paste this Actor's **Apify Store URL** into an agent that can use Apify (MCP, Claude, Cursor, etc.). With an Apify account and API token, the agent can set input, run the Actor, and fetch the dataset.

#### Export to Power BI, Tableau, Looker Studio & Qlik

1. Run the Actor (or open a finished run).
2. Open the **Dataset** → **API** / **Export**.
3. Copy the dataset items URL (JSON or CSV).
4. In your BI tool, add a **web / API** data source with that URL (and your Apify token as a header or query param if required).
5. Refresh on a schedule that matches your catalog monitoring cadence.

Product facts are from public SSENSE pages — always verify critical pricing decisions against the live site.

# Actor input Schema

## `startUrls` (type: `array`):

SSENSE category (or listing) URLs to scrape. Primary input — same field name as other Store SSENSE scrapers.

## `categoryPaths` (type: `array`):

Optional alias of startUrls — path fragments like en-us/women/clothing (used when startUrls is empty). Defaults: en-us/men/clothing and en-us/women/clothing.

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

Cap product rows returned. Leave at 5 for a cheap first run.

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

Pagination cap per category path.

## `sleepSeconds` (type: `number`):

Polite delay between page fetches.

## `proxyType` (type: `string`):

Leave on none for a first smoke if your IP is clean. Enable Apify Proxy (residential recommended) if Cloudflare blocks.

## `proxyConfiguration` (type: `object`):

Used when Proxy is Apify Proxy. Residential often helps on SSENSE.

## MCP server setup

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

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).
