## 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

## Zulily Deals Scraper

Scrape product deals from [Zulily.com](https://www.zulily.com) — search by keyword, browse category and deals collections, or fetch full product detail (price, discount, sizes, images, description) by handle/URL. No login, no API key, no paid proxy required.

### What this actor does

- **Three modes:** `search` (keyword search), `byCollection` (browse a category or deals collection), `byProductHandles` (fetch full detail for specific products)
- **50 curated collections**: Shop Deals, Ends Soon, Women's/Men's/Kids'/Baby apparel & shoes, Home, Beauty, Jewelry, Fitness, Electronics, and more
- **Real-time pricing**: current price, compare-at (list) price, computed discount %, and stock availability
- **Empty fields are omitted**

### Output fields

- `recordType` — `"product"`
- `productId`, `handle`, `productUrl`
- `title`, `vendor`, `productType`
- `price`, `compareAtPrice`, `discountPercent`, `available`
- `description`, `imageUrl`, `images[]`
- `tags[]`, `sizes[]`, `variantCount`
- `collection` / `keyword` — echo of the filter used
- `publishedAt`

### Input options

| Field | Description |
|---|---|
| `mode` | `search`, `byCollection`, or `byProductHandles` |
| `keyword` | Search term (search mode) |
| `collection` | Category/deals collection handle (byCollection mode) |
| `productHandles` | List of product handles or full URLs (byProductHandles mode) |
| `maxItems` | Max records to return |
| `proxyConfiguration` | Optional Apify proxy (free AUTO datacenter group used only if needed) |

### Example: browse deals

```json
{
  "mode": "byCollection",
  "collection": "shop-deals",
  "maxItems": 50
}
```

### Example: search products

```json
{
  "mode": "search",
  "keyword": "dress",
  "maxItems": 50
}
```

### Use cases

- **Price monitoring** — track deal prices and discount percentages over time
- **Deal aggregation** — feed live Zulily markdowns into a coupon/deals site
- **Market research** — analyze pricing and assortment across categories
- **Dropshipping/resale research** — identify trending discounted products
- **Competitive intelligence** — compare Zulily's pricing against other retailers

### FAQ

**Do I need a Zulily account?** No — this actor scrapes Zulily's public storefront API, the same data shown to any visitor without signing in.

**How is `discountPercent` calculated?** `(compareAtPrice - price) / compareAtPrice * 100`, rounded to 1 decimal. It's only included when the item has a genuine markdown.

**Why does a product have no `sizes`?** Single-variant products (no size/color options) don't have a size list — only multi-variant products do.

## CLI example

```bash
echo '{
  "mode": "byCollection",
  "keyword": "dress",
  "collection": "shop-deals",
  "productHandles": [
    "https://www.zulily.com/products/vionic-evie-knit-flat"
  ],
  "maxItems": 50,
  "proxyConfiguration": {
    "useApifyProxy": true
  }
}' |
apify call crawlerbros/zulily-deals-scraper --silent --output-dataset

```

## MCP server setup

```json
{
    "mcpServers": {
        "apify": {
            "type": "http",
            "url": "https://mcp.apify.com/?tools=fetch-actor-details,crawlerbros/zulily-deals-scraper"
        }
    }
}

```

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).
