## 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

## Cartlow Scraper

Extract live product, gift card, gaming credit, and entertainment voucher listings from Cartlow's public catalog. The Actor uses the same read-only JSON catalog endpoint as Cartlow's public search interface and returns typed, analysis-ready records.

### What it extracts

- Stable Cartlow product ID, catalog ID, SKU, name, and normalized description
- Regional market, currency, live price, regular price, market price, and discount
- Category, brand, condition, seller, and seller city
- Gift-card, saleability, trusted-seller, express-delivery, featured, and sale flags
- Delivery timing, ratings, reviews, available units, and cashback
- Original image URLs and canonical public product URL
- Search provenance and scrape timestamp

Optional unavailable values are omitted instead of being filled with placeholders.

### Input

- `keywords` — one to twenty public catalog search terms
- `markets` — `uae`, `saudi`, `oman`, or `intl`; Oman currently maps to Cartlow's international USD catalog
- `maxResults` — global output cap, from 1 to 500
- `maxPagesPerSearch` — pagination safety cap for each search
- `requestDelayMillis` — minimum delay between requests
- `maxRetries` — one to three bounded attempts with exponential backoff
- `maxPageMbytes` and `maxRunMillis` — response-size and runtime safeguards
- `proxyConfiguration` — optional Apify Proxy configuration

Example:

```json
{
  "keywords": ["gift card", "PlayStation"],
  "markets": ["uae", "saudi"],
  "maxResults": 50,
  "maxPagesPerSearch": 3,
  "requestDelayMillis": 1000
}
```

### Output

Each dataset row represents one unique product in one market. `recordId` combines the market and Cartlow product ID, which makes repeated searches safe to deduplicate. Prices and counts are JSON numbers, status flags are booleans, image collections are arrays, and URLs are normalized HTTPS URLs.

### Responsible use

The Actor accesses public catalog data only. It does not log in, purchase items, reveal gift-card codes, bypass access controls, or collect customer information. Keep concurrency and request volume conservative and comply with Cartlow's terms and applicable law.

This Actor is independent and is not endorsed by, affiliated with, or maintained by Cartlow.

Reject unexpectedly large API responses.

## `maxRunMillis` (type: `integer`):

Actor-side deadline capped below five minutes.

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

Optional Apify Proxy. Direct public access is used by default.

# 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 = {};

// Run the Actor and wait for it to finish
const run = await client.actor("codingfrontend/cartlow-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();
