## 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).

For usage examples, see the [API](#api) section below.

## Seiko Watch Scraper (USA)

Scrape **Seiko USA** watch and clock listings from `seikousa.com` — the official US storefront.

### FAQ

**What is Seiko USA?**
Seiko USA (`seikousa.com`) is the official US online store for Seiko watches and clocks. It runs on Shopify, which exposes a public JSON API (`/products.json`, `/collections/{handle}/products.json`) for catalog data.

**Do I need an API key or proxy?**
No. The Seiko USA Shopify JSON API is publicly accessible without authentication. No proxy is required.

**What are Seiko collections?**
Seiko organizes their watches into branded lines — Prospex (sport/dive), Presage (dress/mechanical), Astron (GPS solar), Seiko 5 Sports (affordable automatic), and Coutura (luxury dress). Each is a distinct collection with its own design language.

**What's the `handle` field?**
The handle is the URL slug for a product, used in the listing URL: `https://www.seikousa.com/products/{handle}`. Use it in `mode=byHandle` to fetch a specific watch.

**How fresh is the data?**
The Shopify API reflects the live product catalog. Prices, availability, and product listings are updated in real time on the Seiko USA store.

**Why are some fields absent from certain records?**
Seiko's product tags drive collection, gender, and case diameter extraction. If a product lacks the relevant tags, those fields are omitted. Description is truncated at 500 characters.
