Clarins Australia Product Scraper

Collect structured Clarins Australia product data for price monitoring, catalogue research, product matching, availability tracking, and ecommerce automation.

What it returns

Product results can include IDs, names, product URLs, current/original prices, AUD currency, ratings, images, descriptions, ingredients, usage instructions, stock signals, variants, sizes, barcodes, breadcrumbs, and product attributes.

The Actor also provides category discovery and category product listings. Run status and machine-readable provenance are stored separately under the OUTPUT key, so the Dataset remains clean product/category data.

Quick start

Running the Actor with the default input performs a bounded search for double serum.

{
  "operation": "search",
  "query": "double serum",
  "limit": 5
}

Search for lip products:

{
  "operation": "search",
  "query": "lip oil",
  "limit": 5
}

Fetch one product from a prior search result:

{
  "operation": "item",
  "slug": "lip-comfort-oil/CS00555678"
}

Browse a category:

{
  "operation": "category",
  "url": "https://www.clarins.com.au/make-up-lips/630/",
  "limit": 5
}

Discover categories:

{
  "operation": "categories"
}

Operations

Operation	Purpose	Required input
search	Keyword product search	query (defaults to double serum)
item	Rich product details	slug or url
category	Products in one Clarins category	category url
categories	Discover the Clarins AU category taxonomy	none
probe	Lightweight source reachability diagnostic	none

Clean no-match semantics

Search results are filtered against meaningful query tokens. Recommendation/default tiles that do not match the requested query are not emitted as search results. A valid search with no matching products succeeds with an empty Dataset ([]) and sets OUTPUT.no_match=true.

Transport/access failures are not disguised as no-match results: the run fails and OUTPUT.errors records the problem.

OUTPUT for AI agents and automation

The default Key-Value Store contains OUTPUT with compact fields including source, operation, success, status, count, no_match, errors, as_of, and agent_view.

For automated consumers, require terminal run success and then inspect OUTPUT.success before using Dataset rows.

Reliability

Clarins AU may apply bot protection. auto/Apify proxy mode is recommended for cloud runs. Search has a bounded product-sitemap fallback when the search page is unavailable or yields no usable matching tiles; semantic filtering is still applied to fallback rows.

Data notes

Prices, availability, ratings, promotions, and catalogue content can change at any time. Some fields are available only on item pages or only for particular products.
