Country Road Product Scraper

This Apify Actor allows you to scrape public product data, prices, and availability from the Country Road AU storefront. It is designed for market research and price monitoring, providing a normalized dataset of product information.

Supported Operations

The actor supports three primary ways to retrieve product data:

• Keyword Search: Find products using search terms (e.g., "shirt", "linen dress").
• Category Browse: Extract products from a specific category listing page.
• Product Detail: Retrieve comprehensive specifications for a single product using its ID or URL.

All search and category results are automatically enriched, meaning the actor will visit each product's detail page to collect full specifications, variants, and images.

Input Guide

Pagination & Limits

• Page (page): The result page to fetch (default: 1, minimum: 1).
• Page Size (pageSize): Maximum number of products to process from the selected page (default: 48, maximum: 100). This is an actor-side cap.
• Max Items (maxItems): Maximum number of enriched products to emit in the dataset (maximum: 100).

Examples:

• Search Page 2: {"searchQuery": "shirt", "page": 2, "maxItems": 10}
• Category Page 1 with cap: {"categoryUrl": "...", "page": 1, "pageSize": 10}
