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 ## 🏪 Ubuy Scraper — Saudi Arabia, UAE, Qatar, Bahrain & Oman Ubuy is a cross-border online store that ships millions of imported products from the US and other overseas stores to the Gulf, across electronics, health, beauty, home, fashion, toys and more.

Single product pages and Ubuy Kuwait are not supported. **How many items can I get from one URL?** Ubuy shows up to about 500 results per search or category (around 11 pages), so that is the practical maximum per start URL. Brand pages show a single page of roughly 48 products; use a search URL with the brand name for more. **Can I filter and sort?** Yes — copy the URL from your browser after applying a sort (`sort_by`) or choosing a category, and use it as a start URL. **Does it work with Arabic?** Yes. Arabic URLs return the same fields; prices are always numbers in the country's currency. **Which proxy does it use?** Apify residential proxies, with the exit country matching each start URL (for example a UAE proxy for `ubuy.ae`). Other traffic is blocked by the site. **Why is `maxItems` counted per URL?** Each start URL has its own counter, so a run with three URLs and `maxItems: 50` can return up to 150 items. You can mix countries in one run. **How fresh is the data?** Every run reads the live site, so prices and discounts reflect the moment of the run. ### 🔗 Want More Data? - [Noon Scraper](https://apify.com/boring_internet_explorer/noon-scraper) — Saudi Arabia, UAE and Egypt products - [Amazon.sa Scraper](https://apify.com/boring_internet_explorer/amazon-sa-scraper) — Amazon Saudi Arabia products - [Jarir Scraper](https://apify.com/boring_internet_explorer/jarir-scraper) — Jarir Bookstore electronics and products - [eXtra Scraper](https://apify.com/boring_internet_explorer/extra-scraper) — eXtra electronics and appliances - [Namshi Scraper](https://apify.com/boring_internet_explorer/namshi-scraper) — fashion products and brands ### 🛠️ Need a custom scraper?

The proxy country follows each start URL (for example Saudi Arabia for ubuy.com.sa) unless you pick a country here. ## Actor input object example ```json { "startUrls": [ { "url": "https://www.ubuy.com.sa/en/search/?q=laptop" } ], "maxItems": 5, "proxyConfiguration": { "useApifyProxy": true, "apifyProxyGroups": [ "RESIDENTIAL" ] } } ``` # Actor output Schema ## `overview` (type: `string`): No description # API You can run this Actor programmatically using our API.

Clients without OAuth support can send an `Authorization: Bearer ` header instead, using a token from API & Integrations in Apify Console (https://console.apify.com/settings/integrations). ## OpenAPI specification Download the OpenAPI definition: https://api.apify.com/v2/actors/YcaE97jqlbVQSDdcT/builds/uJCPcNnUid3EIDLXp/openapi.json
