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`). # README ## 💊 Nahdi Online Pharmacy Scraper — نهدي أونلاين ### ❓ What is this scraper?

Product detail pages are not supported. **Which countries and languages are supported?** Saudi Arabia (`en-sa`, `ar-sa`) and the UAE (`en-ae`, `ar-ae`). The storefront in the URL decides the language, currency, and catalog of the results. **Can I use filtered URLs?** Yes. Apply filters on Nahdi Online (brand, size, gender, availability, price range, and more) and paste the resulting URL. The filters in the URL are applied to the results. Multiple values of the same filter are combined with OR, and different filters with AND, exactly like on the website. **How does `maxItems` work?** It limits the number of products scraped for each start URL separately, not across the whole run. **Can I start from a specific page?** Yes. Add `?page=N` (or `&page=N`) to the URL and scraping begins from that page and continues until `maxItems` is reached or results run out. **Why is `originalPrice` empty for some products?** It is only provided when the product is discounted. Otherwise `originalPrice` and `discountPercent` are `null`. **Why are some categories in English on the Arabic UAE storefront?** The Arabic UAE catalog returns English category names for many products. Product names and brands are still in Arabic. **How many results can I get for one search or category?** Up to the number of products Nahdi Online shows for that URL. Very large searches may be capped by the website's own result limit, so use narrower category or search URLs for complete coverage. **Is a proxy required?** No. The scraper works without a proxy by default. You can enable Apify Proxy in the input if needed. *** ### 🔗 Want More Data in the MENA Market? #### If you found this scraper useful, check out our other scrapers: [Carrefour Scraper](https://apify.com/boring_internet_explorer/carrefour-scraper) - Scrape product data from Carrefour كارفور across 7 markets — KSA, UAE, Egypt, Qatar, Pakistan, Lebanon, and Kenya.
