## 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

## Wiggle Scraper

Scrape [Wiggle](https://www.wiggle.com) — a leading UK-based online retailer for cycling, running, swimming, triathlon, and outdoor gear. Search products by keyword, browse by category or brand, filter by price, colour, gender, and sale status, or pull full product detail pages (description, GTIN, per-size stock) from product URLs.

### What this actor does

- **Four modes:** `search`, `byCategory`, `byBrand`, `byProductUrls`
- **245 categories and subcategories** across Cycle, Run, Swim, Outdoors, Nutrition & Body Care, and Outlet — full department → category → subcategory tree
- **271 brands** to browse directly
- **Filters:** brand, colour, gender, size, min/max price, on-sale-only, 8 sort orders
- **Full product detail mode:** description, GTIN-13, per-size/SKU stock quantity and pricing
- **Empty fields are omitted** — every record only contains data that was actually found

### Output per product

#### Listing records (`search` / `byCategory` / `byBrand`, `recordType: "product"`)

- `productId`, `productName`, `brand`
- `colour`, `gender` (inferred from product name)
- `price`, `rrp`, `discountPercent`, `currency`
- `availableSizes[]`
- `imageUrl`, `productUrl`, `sourceUrl`
- `recordType: "product"`, `scrapedAt`

#### Product detail records (`byProductUrls`, `recordType: "productDetail"`)

- `productName`, `brand`, `description`, `gtin13`
- `gender` (inferred), `price`, `currency`
- `offers[]` — every size/SKU variant with `sku`, `size`, `price`, `inStock`, `stockQty` (exact units in stock)
- `totalStockQty` — sum of `stockQty` across all size variants
- `imageUrl`, `productUrl`, `sourceUrl`, `scrapedAt`

### Use cases

- **Price monitoring** — track product and brand prices/discounts over time
- **Sale tracking** — sort by discount to find the best current deals
- **Brand catalogue export** — pull a full brand's range via `byBrand`
- **Catalogue enrichment** — pull full descriptions, GTINs, and per-size stock for a known list of product URLs

### FAQ

**Does this need a login or API key?**
No. All data is publicly available on Wiggle's storefront pages.

**Why does `byCategory`/`byBrand` return fewer results than expected for a niche filter?**
Brand/colour/gender/price/on-sale filters are applied to the actual listing content after fetching — the underlying category/brand page's own facet filters aren't used server-side, so this actor scans further pages automatically when a filter is active until enough matches are found or the page runs out.

**How current is the data?**
Every run fetches live pages directly from Wiggle — prices, stock, and discounts reflect what's on the site at run time.

**Which currency are prices in?**
GBP (£) — Wiggle's UK storefront is the source for this actor.

**Will `productUrl`/`imageUrl` open for me?**
Yes — every URL is a real, live Wiggle page or image (verified `200 OK`). A bare `curl`/script request without a real browser TLS/HTTP2 profile may see a connection error; opening the same URL in any normal web browser always works.

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).
