## 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.

### Data Source

Nixon is a California-based watch and accessory brand founded in 1997. Their website runs on Shopify, exposing a public storefront JSON API at `/products.json` and `/collections/{handle}/products.json`. No authentication or paid proxy is required.

### FAQ

**What does Nixon sell?**
Nixon sells analog and digital watches, clocks, bags, wallets, belts, and accessories. The `productTypeFilter` input lets you narrow results to a specific category.

**How do I filter by product type?**
Use `productTypeFilter` with a substring like `watch`, `wallet`, or `bag`. The filter is case-insensitive and matches partial strings.

**Why are some tags missing from the output?**
Nixon's Shopify tags include internal Algolia search tags (`algolia_*`) and price bucket tags (`*-bucket`) that are not useful for end users. The scraper strips these automatically.

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

**Are prices in USD?**
Yes. Nixon.com prices in US Dollars.

**What variants does Nixon use?**
Nixon products often have multiple color and size variants. The `price` field reflects the minimum price across all variants. `variantCount` shows the total number of variants.

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).
