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). For usage examples, see the [API](#api) section below. For more details, see Apify documentation as [Markdown index](https://docs.apify.com/llms.txt) and [Markdown full-text](https://docs.apify.com/llms-full.txt). # README ## Sam's Club Product Scraper Extract wholesale product data from [Sam's Club](https://www.samsclub.com) — the membership warehouse club owned by Walmart. Search by keyword, browse by category, or enrich a list of product URLs to get prices, ratings, availability, descriptions, specifications, and images. ### What does this scraper do? - **Keyword search** — find products by name, brand, or description - **Category browsing** — explore Electronics, Appliances, Groceries, Clothing, and more - **Product URL enrichment** — fetch complete details for a list of Sam's Club product links - Extracts: name, price, original price, savings, member pricing, stock status, ratings, reviews, specifications, feature bullets, images, and more - Supports sorting by relevance, price, rating, or best-selling - Supports price and rating filters ### Input | Field | Type | Description | Default | |---|---|---|---| | `mode` | select | `search`, `byCategory`, or `byProductUrls` | `search` | | `searchQuery` | string | Keyword to search (mode=search) | `laptop` | | `category` | select | Product category (mode=byCategory) | `electronics` | | `sortBy` | select | Sort order: relevance, price-asc, price-desc, top-rated, bestselling | `relevance` | | `minPrice` | integer | Minimum price filter ($) | — | | `maxPrice` | integer | Maximum price filter ($) | — | | `minRating` | number | Minimum average rating (0.0–5.0) | — | | `startUrls` | list | Product URLs to enrich (mode=byProductUrls) | — | | `maxItems` | integer | Maximum products to return (1–5000) | `50` | | `clubId` | string | Sam's Club store ID for pricing (default: 6372 = Dallas, TX) | `6372` | #### Available categories | Value | Label | |---|---| | `electronics` | Electronics | | `appliances` | Appliances | | `groceries` | Groceries & Food | | `clothing` | Clothing & Shoes | | `sporting-goods` | Sports & Outdoors | | `home` | Home & Garden | | `toys` | Toys & Baby | | `health` | Health & Beauty | | `auto` | Auto & Tires | | `all` | All Categories | #### Example input (search) ```json { "mode": "search", "searchQuery": "laptop", "sortBy": "price-asc", "maxPrice": 800, "minRating": 4.0, "maxItems": 50 } ```` #### Example input (byProductUrls) ```json { "mode": "byProductUrls", "startUrls": [ "https://www.samsclub.com/ip/HP-Laptop/13576272587", "https://www.samsclub.com/ip/Samsung-TV/15234957453" ] } ``` ### Output Each record contains: | Field | Type | Description | |---|---|---| | `productId` | string | Sam's Club internal product ID | | `name` | string | Full product name | | `url` | string | Product page URL | | `imageUrl` | string | Primary product image URL | | `images` | array | All product image URLs | | `price` | number | Current selling price (USD) | | `originalPrice` | number | Original/was price before discount | | `memberPrice` | number | Member price (same as price for Sam's Club) | | `savings` | number | Dollar savings amount | | `inStock` | boolean | Whether the product is currently in stock | | `membershipRequired` | boolean | Always `true` — Sam's Club is membership-only | | `itemNumber` | string | Sam's Club item number (usItemId) | | `brand` | string | Product brand name | | `category` | string | Product category/type | | `rating` | number | Average customer rating (0–5) | | `reviewCount` | integer | Number of customer reviews | | `description` | string | Product description text | | `specifications` | object | Key-value technical specifications (detail pages) | | `features` | array | Bullet-point product features | | `onlineOnly` | boolean | True if the product is only available online | | `clubId` | string | Sam's Club store ID used for pricing | | `recordType` | string | Always `"samsClubProduct"` | | `scrapedAt` | string | ISO 8601 UTC timestamp of when the record was scraped | #### Example output record ```json { "productId": "3VU6BX9X6KQ1", "name": "ASUS Vivobook 17X Laptop - 17.3\" FHD Display - Intel Core i9-13900H - 16GB RAM - 1TB SSD", "url": "https://www.samsclub.com/ip/ASUS-Vivobook-17X/13576272587?classType=REGULAR", "imageUrl": "https://i5.samsclubimages.com/asr/4731cb28-173f-4de0-83b4-3928fa27634c.jpeg", "images": ["https://i5.samsclubimages.com/asr/4731cb28-173f-4de0-83b4-3928fa27634c.jpeg"], "price": 999.0, "memberPrice": 999.0, "inStock": true, "membershipRequired": true, "itemNumber": "13576272587", "brand": "ASUS Vivobook", "category": "Laptop Computers", "rating": 4.4, "reviewCount": 46, "description": "The ASUS Vivobook 17X is equipped with Intel Core i9-13900H...", "specifications": { "Processor": "Intel Core i9-13900H", "RAM": "16GB DDR4", "Storage": "1TB PCIe SSD" }, "features": [ "Intel Core i9-13900H Processor", "16GB DDR4 RAM", "1TB PCIe G3 SSD" ], "onlineOnly": true, "clubId": "6372", "recordType": "samsClubProduct", "scrapedAt": "2026-05-15T12:00:00+00:00" } ``` ### Frequently Asked Questions **Do I need a Sam's Club membership to use this scraper?** No. The scraper accesses Sam's Club's public website and does not require a membership account or login. However, note that all prices shown on Sam's Club are member prices — a Sam's Club membership is required to actually purchase items. **How many products can I scrape?** The scraper supports up to 5,000 products per run. Sam's Club search results typically return 45–50 products per page. The scraper automatically paginates through all available pages up to your `maxItems` limit. **Why are some products missing a price?** Some items display a "See price in cart" or "Sign in to see price" message. These prices are intentionally hidden by Sam's Club and cannot be extracted without a logged-in session. Those products will appear without a price field. **Can I filter by price range?** Yes. Set `minPrice` and/or `maxPrice` (in whole dollars) to filter results. For example, `"minPrice": 200, "maxPrice": 800` returns only products priced between $200 and $800. **What is the `clubId` field for?** Sam's Club prices can vary by location. The `clubId` is the store number used for pricing lookups. The default (6372 = Dallas, TX) works for typical online prices. You can find your local club ID on the [Sam's Club Club Finder](https://www.samsclub.com/club). **Does this scraper work for club-only (in-store) items?** Yes. Items available in-store will have `"onlineOnly": false`. Items that are exclusively online will have `"onlineOnly": true`. **Can I scrape product specifications?** Yes, when using `mode=byProductUrls`. The scraper fetches the full product detail page which includes specifications like processor, RAM, storage, dimensions, etc. In `search` and `byCategory` modes, a shorter description and feature bullets are extracted from the search result data. **How often does Sam's Club update its prices?** Sam's Club prices, particularly Instant Savings, change weekly (Thursday to Wednesday). Re-run the scraper regularly if you need up-to-date pricing. # Actor input Schema ## `mode` (type: `string`): How to scrape: keyword search, category browse, or direct product URL enrichment. ## `searchQuery` (type: `string`): Keyword to search for products on Sam's Club (mode=search). ## `category` (type: `string`): Product category to browse (mode=byCategory). ## `sortBy` (type: `string`): Sort order for search results. ## `minPrice` (type: `integer`): Only return products at or above this price. ## `maxPrice` (type: `integer`): Only return products at or below this price. ## `minRating` (type: `number`): Only return products with an average rating at or above this value (0.0–5.0). ## `startUrls` (type: `array`): List of Sam's Club product page URLs to enrich (e.g. https://www.samsclub.com/ip/.../). ## `maxItems` (type: `integer`): Maximum number of products to return. ## `clubId` (type: `string`): Sam's Club store ID used for pricing (default 6372 = Dallas, TX).
