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 ## Argos.co.uk Scraper Scrapes product data from Argos.co.uk including listings, product details, reviews, and Q&As. ### Supported URL Types | URL Type | Example | Behaviour | |---|---|---| | Whole site | `https://www.argos.co.uk/` | Auto-discovers all browse categories | | Browse / category | `https://www.argos.co.uk/browse/technology/laptops-and-pcs/laptops/c:30049/` | Paginates through all listing pages | | Search | `https://www.argos.co.uk/search/wireless-headphones/` | Search result listings | | Product page | `https://www.argos.co.uk/product/7929184` | Single product | ### Input | Field | Type | Default | Description | |---|---|---|---| | `start_urls` | array | required | URLs to scrape (whole site, category, search, or product page URLs) | | `scrape_product_page` | boolean | `false` | Fetch full product detail pages (adds description, specs, images, variants, review stats) | | `max_products_per_category` | integer | `60` | Max products per category or search URL | | `max_categories` | integer | `5` | Max browse categories when scraping the whole site | | `max_reviews` | integer | `10` | Total reviews to fetch per product (10 per API call); set to `0` to turn off | | `max_question_answers` | integer | `10` | Total Q&As to fetch per product (10 per API call); set to `0` to turn off | **When is `product-page` charged?** `product-page` is charged (instead of `product-listing`) whenever product page scraping runs. This happens when: - `scrape_product_page` is `true`, **or** - `max_reviews` is greater than `0`, **or** - `max_question_answers` is greater than `0` Setting `max_reviews` or `max_question_answers` above `0` **automatically enables product page scraping** — you do not need to also set `scrape_product_page: true`. Reviews and Q&A are fetched during the product page pass, so the `product-page` event is charged per product in all these cases, in addition to `review` and `question-answer` per fetched item. ### Example Inputs #### Category With Full Product Pages + Reviews + Q&As ```json { "start_urls": [ { "url": "https://www.argos.co.uk/browse/technology/laptops-and-pcs/laptops/c:30049/" } { "url": "https://www.argos.co.uk/product/4584759" } ], "scrape_product_page": true, "max_products_per_category": 60, "max_review_pages": 2, "max_question_answers": 1 } ```` ### Example Output ```json { "productId": "4584759", "name": "Apple Magic Keyboard (USB–C) - British English", "description": "Magic Keyboard delivers a remarkably comfortable and precise typing experience for Mac and Apple Vision Pro.

Adds full description, specifications, images, variants, and review stats to each output item. Note: enabling reviews (max\_reviews > 0) or Q\&As (max\_question\_answers > 0) will automatically trigger product detail page fetching even if this is set to false — the detail page visit is required to call the BazaarVoice APIs. ## `max_categories` (type: `integer`): Maximum number of browse categories to scrape per start URL. Only used when the start URL is the Argos homepage. ## `max_products_per_category` (type: `integer`): Maximum number of products to scrape per category or search URL. Leave empty to fetch all products (crawler will page through all listing pages). ## `max_reviews` (type: `integer`): Total number of reviews to fetch per product (fetched in batches of 10). Set to 0 to turn off review scraping. Important: any value greater than 0 forces the product detail page to be fetched for every product, even if 'Scrape Product Page' is disabled — this affects proxy usage and will charge the product-detail event rate per product. ## `max_question_answers` (type: `integer`): Total number of questions and answers to fetch per product (fetched in batches of 10). Set to 0 to turn off Q\&A scraping. Important: any value greater than 0 forces the product detail page to be fetched for every product, even if 'Scrape Product Page' is disabled — this affects proxy usage and will charge the product-detail event rate per product. ## Actor input object example ```json { "start_urls": [ { "url": "https://www.argos.co.uk/browse/technology/laptops-and-pcs/laptops/c:30049/" } ], "scrape_product_page": false, "max_categories": 5, "max_reviews": 10, "max_question_answers": 10 } ``` # Actor output Schema ## `results` (type: `string`): No description # API You can run this Actor programmatically using our API.
