Argos UK Product Search & Catalog (Unofficial)

Search Argos UK products and fetch category, filter, search, and item data in normalized output.

This is an unofficial actor and is not affiliated with Argos.

Proxy behavior

This actor uses the shared Apify proxy contract used across the workspace. argos_uk is expected to work in direct mode first, with proxy fallback if the site starts blocking cloud runs.

Supported operations

• categories
• search_filters
• search
• category
• item
