## What's an Apify Actor?

An Actor is a serverless cloud program that runs on the Apify platform. It has two run modes.
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.

Apify vocabulary and the platform model are defined once, in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md.

## 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.

Do not guess an integration path. Every one of them is in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md: the Apify MCP server, Agent Skills with the Apify CLI, the JavaScript and Python clients, the REST API, and the account-free path for an agent with no human to sign in. It also carries the rule on stating cost before the first paid run.

For examples already wired to this Actor's own input schema, see the [API](#api) section below.

Each client library has reference documentation the quickstart does not restate: [JavaScript/TypeScript](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md) (`npm install apify-client`) and [Python](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md) (`pip install apify-client`).

## Meesho.com Product Search Scraper - Professional Product Data Collection Tool

#### Input Format

**NOTE: You MUST use proxy in INDIA Country to pass blocking restrictions**

The scraper accepts configuration through a JSON object with several key parameters:

##### Scrape with URLs:

```json
{
  "max_retries_per_url": 2, // Maximum number of retry attempts for each URL if the scrape is detected as a bot or the page fails to load.
  "proxy": { // Proxy configuration to avoid bot detection during the data collection process.
    "useApifyProxy": true,
    "apifyProxyGroups": [
      "RESIDENTIAL" 
    ],
    "apifyProxyCountry": "IN" // You MUST choose India (IN) as the proxy country for Meesho.com
  },
  "max_items_per_url": 20, // Limit the number of items per URL you want to scrape
  "urls": [ // List of product list page URLs that you want to scrape.
    "https://www.meesho.com/cotton-sarees/pl/3jh",
    "https://www.meesho.com/pure-cotton-saree/pl/1hhf",
    "https://www.meesho.com/handloom-cotton-sarees/pl/81l"
  ],
  "ignore_url_failures": true // If true, the scraper will continue running even if some URLs fail to be scraped after the maximum number of retries is reached.
}
```

**The `urls` parameter**: Add the URLs of the Product list urls you want to scrape. You can paste URLs one by one, or use the Bulk edit section to add a prepared list.

**The `ignore_url_failures` parameter**: If set to `true`, the scraper will continue running even if some URLs fail to be scraped after reaching the maximum number of retries. This ensures that one problematic URL doesn't stop your entire scraping job.

*When you provide a list of URLs for scraping, all options in the "Scrape with search filters" section will be disabled. The system will only collect data from the URLs you specified.*

##### Scrape with Search Filters:

```json
{
  "max_retries_per_url": 2, // Maximum number of retry attempts for each search filter if the scrape is detected as a bot or the page fails to load.
  "proxy": { // Proxy configuration to avoid bot detection during the data collection process.
    "useApifyProxy": true,
    "apifyProxyGroups": [
      "RESIDENTIAL" 
    ],
    "apifyProxyCountry": "IN" // You MUST choose India (IN) as the proxy country for Meesho.com
  },
  "max_items_per_url": 20, // Limit the number of items per search filters you want to scrape
  "keyword": "saree", // Search keyword to find products
  "sort_by": "price_asc", // Sort products by specific criteria
}
```

**The `keyword` parameter**: Enter the keyword to search for products (e.g., "saree", "dress", "shoes", "kurti", "shirt", "jeans").

**The `sort_by` parameter**: Sort products by various criteria:

- `""` (empty string) - Relevance (most relevant first)
- `"created_desc"` - Latest (newest products first)
- `"price_desc"` - Price (high to low)
- `"price_asc"` - Price (low to high)
- `"rating_desc"` - Rating (high to low)
- `"discount_desc"` - Discount (high to low)

*When using search filters for scraping, you need to leave the `urls` field empty (or set it to `null`) in the "Scrape with URLs" configuration.*

##### General Options:

**The `max_items_per_url` parameter**: Limits the number of products extracted from each product list page or search results page. The default value is 20, providing a manageable batch size while allowing for comprehensive data collection.

**The `max_retries_per_url` parameter**: Sets the maximum number of retry attempts for each URL or search filters if the scrape is detected as a bot or the page fails to load. The default value is 2, providing a good balance between thoroughness and efficiency.

**The `proxy` parameter**: Proxy configuration is essential for maintaining anonymity and avoiding detection. The residential proxy option ensures that your scraping activities appear as legitimate browsing, reducing the risk of being blocked or rate-limited. **You MUST choose India (IN) as the proxy country for Meesho.com to pass blocking restrictions.**

### Usage Guide

#### Method 1: Scraping with URLs

**Step 1: Prepare Target URLs**
Navigate to Meesho.com and identify specific category or search result pages. Copy the complete URLs including any filters or search parameters. You can paste URLs one by one or use the Bulk edit section to add a prepared list.

**Step 2: Configure Scraper Settings**

- Set `max_items_per_url` based on your data needs (20-50 recommended for initial testing)
- **IMPORTANT**: Enable residential proxies with Indian (IN) location - this is mandatory for Meesho.com to pass blocking restrictions
- Configure retry attempts based on your reliability requirements
- Enable `ignore_url_failures` to ensure your scraping job continues even if some URLs fail

**Step 3: Execute and Monitor**
Start the scraper and monitor progress through the provided interface. The tool will automatically handle pagination and data extraction from your specified URLs.

#### Method 2: Scraping with Search Filters

**Step 1: Configure Search Parameters**
Instead of providing specific URLs, configure your search by setting a keyword and optional sorting preferences. Leave the `urls` field empty when using this method.

Enter a `keyword` to search for specific products (e.g., "saree", "dress", "shoes", "kurti", "shirt", "jeans", "ethnic wear").

**Step 2: Set Sorting Options**
Choose how you want your results sorted:

- **Relevance** - Most relevant products first (default)
- **Latest** - Newest products first
- **Price (high to low)** - Most expensive items first
- **Price (low to high)** - Cheapest items first
- **Rating (high to low)** - Highest rated products first
- **Discount (high to low)** - Products with best discounts first

**Step 3: Configure Proxy and Execute**

- **CRITICAL**: Set proxy configuration with India (IN) as the country - this is mandatory for Meesho.com
- Set `max_items_per_url` to control how many products to extract from search results
- Run the scraper with your search configuration

#### Best Practices:

- **For URL-based scraping**: Copy complete URLs with all parameters and filters intact
- **For search-based scraping**: Use specific keywords and appropriate sorting to narrow down results and improve data quality
- **ALWAYS use India (IN) proxy country** - this is essential for Meesho.com to avoid blocking
- Use reasonable delays between requests to avoid overwhelming Meesho's servers
- Implement data validation to ensure extracted information quality
- Store results in structured formats (JSON, CSV, or database) for analysis
- Regularly update URL patterns or search keywords if Meesho changes their site structure
- Start with a small `max_items_per_url` value to test your configuration before running large-scale extractions
- Enable `ignore_url_failures` to ensure partial data collection even when some URLs encounter issues

#### Common Issues and Solutions:

- **Empty Results**: Verify URL accessibility and ensure proxy is configured with India (IN) country
- **Incomplete Data**: Increase retry attempts or adjust proxy settings to use residential proxies in India
- **Rate Limiting**: Reduce concurrent requests or implement longer delays
- **Access Blocked**: Double-check that proxy country is set to India (IN) - this is mandatory for Meesho.com
- **No search results**: Ensure the `urls` field is empty when using search filters, and verify keyword spelling
