Since this Actor supports Apify Store discounts, the price gets lower the higher subscription plan you have.

## What's an Apify Actor?

An Actor is a serverless cloud program that runs on the Apify platform. It has two run modes.
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.

Apify vocabulary and the platform model are defined once, in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md.

## 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.

Do not guess an integration path. Every one of them is in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md: the Apify MCP server, Agent Skills with the Apify CLI, the JavaScript and Python clients, the REST API, and the account-free path for an agent with no human to sign in. It also carries the rule on stating cost before the first paid run.

For examples already wired to this Actor's own input schema, see the [API](#api) section below.

Each client library has reference documentation the quickstart does not restate: [JavaScript/TypeScript](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md) (`npm install apify-client`) and [Python](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md) (`pip install apify-client`).

### ❓ FAQ

**Which Hnak URLs can I scrape?**
Category pages, brand pages, filtered or sorted listing pages and search result pages on `hnak.com/en-sa` and `hnak.com/ar-sa`. Individual product pages are not supported as start URLs.

**Why does a category URL return no products?**
Some top-level pages (for example `/en-sa/mobiles-and-electronics` or `/en-sa/beauty-fragrance`) are landing pages made of banners and links, not product lists. The scraper skips them with a warning. Open a sub-category, brand or search page instead and use that URL.

**Can I scrape in Arabic?**
Yes. Use `/ar-sa/` URLs and the titles, brands and categories come back in Arabic.

**How do I apply filters?**
Set the filters on hnak.com (brand, price, sort), then copy the resulting URL into `startUrls`.

**How does `maxItems` work?**
It limits the number of items per start URL. The scraper moves through pages automatically until the limit is reached or there are no more products.

**How fresh is the data?**
Every run reads live data from Hnak, so prices and stock reflect the site at the time of the run.

**Do I need a proxy?**
No. The scraper works without a proxy by default.
