## 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

## Lowe's Review Scraper — Ratings, Reviews & Price

Scrape customer reviews for any [Lowe's](https://www.lowes.com) product or
collection page. Give it product URLs and for every review you get the review
text, star rating, title, author and date — plus product-level rating, review
count and price. Clean structured data ready for JSON, CSV, or Excel export.

Built and maintained by [Clootrack](https://www.clootrack.com): this is the same
scraper that feeds our own customer-analytics platform in production, so when
Lowe's changes their site, we notice before you do.

### What you get

```json
{
    "sku": "CRAFTSMAN V20 20-Volt Max Cordless Drill",
    "review": "Perfect weight and grip, gets the job done.",
    "review_rating": 5,
    "title": "Great starter drill",
    "author": "WeekendBuilder",
    "date": "2024-04-02",
    "product_rating": "4.6",
    "review_count": 1423,
    "from_variant": "",
    "original_price": "$99.00",
    "current_price": "$119.00",
    "page_no": 1,
    "product_url": "https://www.lowes.com/pd/.../1000595429",
    "source": "Lowes"
}
```

### Use cases

- ⭐ **Voice of customer** — what buyers praise and complain about, per product
- 📊 **Product & brand benchmarking** — rating momentum and review volume over time
- 🛒 **Merchandising** — pair review sentiment with live and base price signals

### Input

| Field | Description |
|---|---|
| `productUrls` | List of Lowe's product (`/pd/`) or collection (`/collections/`) URLs |
| `reviewsSince` | Optional `YYYY-MM-DD` cut-off — skip reviews older than this |
| `concurrency` | Products scraped in parallel (default 3) |
| `proxyConfiguration` | Residential proxies strongly recommended |

### ⚖️ Legal & responsible use

This Actor extracts **publicly available data only** — no login, no private or
personal data. By running it you agree to Clootrack's Actor Terms of Use (see our
[organization profile](https://apify.com/clootrack)): **you are solely responsible**
for how you use this Actor and its output, including compliance with applicable
laws and the target website's terms, and you **indemnify Clootrack** against any
claims arising from your use. Not legal advice; scraping legality depends on your
jurisdiction and use case.

# Actor input Schema

## `productUrls` (type: `array`):

Lowe's product page URLs (/pd/...) or collection URLs (/collections/.../GR\_...), one per line. All reviews for each product are scraped.

## `reviewsSince` (type: `string`):

Optional cut-off date. Reviews are returned newest-first and older reviews are skipped. Leave empty to scrape all reviews.

## `concurrency` (type: `integer`):

How many product URLs to scrape at the same time.

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

Residential proxies are strongly recommended — Lowe's blocks datacenter IPs.

## Actor input object example

```json
{
  "productUrls": [
    "https://www.lowes.com/pd/CRAFTSMAN-V20-20-Volt-Max-Cordless-Drill-1-Battery-Included/1000595429"
  ],
  "concurrency": 3,
  "proxyConfiguration": {
    "useApifyProxy": true,
    "apifyProxyGroups": [
      "RESIDENTIAL"
    ]
  }
}
```

# Actor output Schema

## `results` (type: `string`):

All scraped items as a dataset (JSON/CSV/Excel).

# API

You can run this Actor programmatically using our API. Below are code examples in JavaScript, Python, and CLI, as well as the OpenAPI specification and MCP server setup.

## JavaScript example

```javascript
import { ApifyClient } from 'apify-client';

// Initialize the ApifyClient with your Apify API token
// Replace the '<YOUR_API_TOKEN>' with your token
const client = new ApifyClient({
    token: '<YOUR_API_TOKEN>',
});

// Prepare Actor input
const input = {
    "productUrls": [
        "https://www.lowes.com/pd/CRAFTSMAN-V20-20-Volt-Max-Cordless-Drill-1-Battery-Included/1000595429"

        "apifyProxyGroups": [
            "RESIDENTIAL"
        ]
    }
};

// Run the Actor and wait for it to finish
const run = await client.actor("clootrack/lowes-review-scraper").call(input);

// Fetch and print Actor results from the run's dataset (if any)
console.log('Results from dataset');
console.log(`💾 Check your data here: https://console.apify.com/storage/datasets/${run.defaultDatasetId}`);
const { items } = await client.dataset(run.defaultDatasetId).listItems();
items.forEach((item) => {
    console.dir(item);
});

## Python example

```python
from apify_client import ApifyClient

# Initialize the ApifyClient with your Apify API token
# Replace '<YOUR_API_TOKEN>' with your token.

## MCP server setup

```json
{
    "mcpServers": {
        "apify": {
            "type": "http",
            "url": "https://mcp.apify.com/?tools=fetch-actor-details,clootrack/lowes-review-scraper"
        }
    }
}

```

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).
