## 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.

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).

## EU Automation Scraper — Obsolete Automation Parts Stock & Catalog

> **Industrial automation aftermarket data** — new, reconditioned, and obsolete spare-part catalog with coarse stock signals for MRO and obsolescence sourcing. Source pricing is RFQ-only (no public unit prices).

| OEM lifecycle | OEM specs | Aftermarket stock signal |
| :--- | :--- | :--- |
| [Siemens Lifecycle Tracker](https://apify.com/crawloop/siemens-sieportal-product-lifecycle-tracker) | [SiePortal Scraper](https://apify.com/crawloop/siemens-sieportal-scraper) | **EU Automation Scraper** ◄── you are here |

> **Disclaimer:** Unofficial Actor for publicly accessible EU Automation catalog pages. **EU Automation** and OEM brand names are trademarks of their respective owners. Not affiliated with, sponsored by, or endorsed by EU Automation or the manufacturers listed on the site. Provided for informational and research purposes only. You are responsible for complying with applicable laws and website terms of use.

**EU Automation scraper** / **EU Automation API alternative** for procurement teams, system integrators, and spare-parts planners. Scrape industrial automation **part numbers**, **manufacturers**, **stock / availability signals**, optional **HS codes**, and **quote-page URLs** into clean JSON for **Python**, **Node.js**, cURL, and **MCP** / AI assistants. Export dataset rows for BOM screens, obsolescence sourcing, and RFQ workflows.

### When to use this Actor

- Look up whether a known catalog number appears in the EU Automation catalog (Siemens, Schneider, ABB, Omron, Mitsubishi, …)
- Capture PDP availability signals such as `More than 25 in stock` after an OEM obsolescence flag
- Crawl manufacturer or search pages for part-number inventories and customs HS codes when published
- Chain after [Siemens Lifecycle Tracker](https://apify.com/crawloop/siemens-sieportal-product-lifecycle-tracker) when a part is discontinued or hard to source from OEM channels

**When not to use:** public sell prices / cart checkout — EU Automation is **quote-only** (no unit prices on listings or PDPs). Authorized-distributor list pricing — use [DigiKey Product Scraper](https://apify.com/crawloop/digikey-product-scraper) or [RS Online Scraper](https://apify.com/crawloop/rs-online-scraper). Full Siemens OEM specs — use [SiePortal Scraper](https://apify.com/crawloop/siemens-sieportal-scraper).

### Key Features

- **Part-number lookup** — batch catalog numbers via EU Automation search
- **Manufacturer & keyword crawl** — paginated listing cards with part numbers and optional HS codes
- **Listings or details** — fast card mode, or PDP enrichment for availability / warranty / quote form
- **Stock signals** — coarse PDP text (`More than N in stock`, `In stock`) with parsed `inStock` / `stockMin` when possible
- **Multi-locale** — `en`, `uk`, `us`, `de`, `fr`, and other site prefixes (shared catalog; local wording)
- **Cloudflare-aware HTTP** — `curl_cffi` Chrome impersonation with optional Apify Residential proxies

### FAQ

**Is this an EU Automation API?**\
No official public developer API. This Actor is a structured scrape / API alternative for catalog research workflows.

**Where are the prices?**\
EU Automation does not publish unit prices — pricing is RFQ via account managers. This Actor never invents prices; `pricingModel` is always `quote`.

**Why residential proxies?**\
The site sits behind Cloudflare. Datacenter IPs may hit a challenge — use Apify Residential (GB, DE, or US).

**Listings vs details?**\
`listings` is the fast path for part numbers and HS codes from cards. `details` opens each product page for availability text, warranty/dispatch copy, and quote-form presence.

**Siemens only?**\
No — any manufacturer on the catalog (Schneider, ABB, Omron, Mitsubishi, Sick, Phoenix Contact, and more). Siemens is the most common obsolescence query.

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).
