## What's an Apify Actor?

Actors are a software tools running on the Apify platform, for all kinds of web data extraction and automation use cases.
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.

In JavaScript/TypeScript projects, use official [JavaScript/TypeScript client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js.md):

```bash
npm install apify-client
```

In Python projects, use official [Python client library](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python.md):

```bash
pip install apify-client
```

In shell scripts, use [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md):

````bash
# MacOS / Linux
curl -fsSL https://apify.com/install-cli.sh | bash
# Windows
irm https://apify.com/install-cli.ps1 | iex
```bash

In AI frameworks, you might use the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/platform/integrations/mcp.md).

If your project is in a different language, use the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md).

### Data Source

Collective Horology is an authorized retailer of independent and artisan watch brands. Their website is powered by Shopify, which exposes a public `/products.json` and `/collections/{handle}/products.json` API that does not require authentication or a paid proxy. All data is publicly accessible and scraped with basic HTTP requests.

### FAQ

**Which brands are available on Collective Horology?**
Collective Horology carries independent and artisan watch brands including Czapek, MING (Horologer MING), Armin Strom, Atelier Wen, Arcanaut, Carl Suchy & Söhne, and others. Use `mode=browseAll` to discover all brands.

**How do I find the collection handle for a brand?**
Visit the brand's page on collectivehorology.com. The URL slug after `/collections/` is the collection handle (e.g., `https://www.collectivehorology.com/collections/ming` → `ming`).

**Does this scraper require a proxy?**
No. Collective Horology's Shopify JSON API is publicly accessible without a proxy or authentication.

**Are prices in USD?**
Yes. The store prices all products in US Dollars.

**Can I filter only pre-owned watches?**
Pre-owned watches are tagged with `preowned` in Shopify tags. Browse all and filter in your downstream pipeline, or use `browseCollection` with a pre-owned collection handle if available.

**How often is the catalog updated?**
Products are added as new inventory arrives. Run the actor fresh each time you need current availability data.
