## What's an Apify Actor?

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

## 🛒 Blinkit Product Listings Scraper — Apify Actor

Scrapes product data from [Blinkit](https://blinkit.com) including name, brand, price, MRP, quantity, rating, availability, and image URL. Supports multi-keyword search and location-aware results.

---

### 📦 Output Fields

Each record in the dataset contains:

| Field | Description |
|---|---|
| `name` | Product name |
| `brand` | Brand name |
| `quantity` | Pack size / weight (e.g. "500ml", "1kg") |
| `offerPrice` | Current selling price |
| `mrp` | Maximum retail price (before discount) |
| `rating` | Product rating if displayed |
| `outOfStock` | `true` / `false` |
| `category` | Category label (if shown) |
| `image` | Product image URL |
| `productUrl` | Direct link to product page |
| `searchQuery` | The keyword used to find this product |
| `location` | The delivery location label you set |
| `scrapedAt` | ISO timestamp of when data was scraped |
| `sourceUrl` | The search URL that was scraped |

---

### ⚙️ Input Configuration

```json
{
  "searchQueries": ["milk", "eggs", "chips"],
  "maxProductsPerQuery": 40,
  "location": {
    "lat": 28.6139,
    "lng": 77.2090,
    "label": "New Delhi"
  },
  "includeOutOfStock": false,
  "proxyConfig": {
    "useApifyProxy": true,
    "apifyProxyGroups": ["RESIDENTIAL"]
  }
}
````

#### Key inputs

- **`searchQueries`** — Keywords to search (e.g. `["milk", "bread", "shampoo"]`)
- **`maxProductsPerQuery`** — How many products per keyword (default: `40`, max: `200`)
- **`location`** — Lat/lng of your target delivery area. Blinkit shows different products and availability per city. Find lat/lng via [latlong.net](https://www.latlong.net/).
- **`includeOutOfStock`** — Set `true` to also save OOS products
- **`proxyConfig`** — Residential proxies are strongly recommended; Blinkit blocks datacenter IPs

#### Common location coordinates

| City | lat | lng |
|---|---|---|
| New Delhi | 28.6139 | 77.2090 |
| Mumbai | 19.0760 | 72.8777 |
| Bengaluru | 12.9716 | 77.5946 |
| Hyderabad | 17.3850 | 78.4867 |
| Chennai | 13.0827 | 80.2707 |

***

### 🚀 Deployment

#### Option A — Apify Console (recommended)

1. Go to [console.apify.com](https://console.apify.com) → **Actors** → **New Actor**
2. Choose "Empty template" and upload this folder, or paste `src/main.js` into the editor
3. Set the Dockerfile to the one provided
4. Fill in the Input form and click **Save & Run**

#### Option B — Apify CLI

```bash
## Install CLI
npm install -g apify-cli

## Login
apify login

## Deploy from this directory
apify push
```

#### Local development

```bash
npm install
apify run          ## reads storage/key_value_stores/default/INPUT.json
```

***

### ⚠️ Important Notes

- **Proxies** — Blinkit aggressively blocks datacenter IPs. Residential proxies (`RESIDENTIAL` group) are required for reliable results.
- **Location** — If no location is set or accepted by the site, Blinkit may show no products. The scraper injects lat/lng into `localStorage` before each page loads.
- **Terms of Service** — Always ensure your usage complies with Blinkit's ToS and applicable data laws in your jurisdiction.
- **Dynamic selectors** — Blinkit is a React app; class names may change. If scraping breaks, inspect the page in DevTools and update the CSS selectors in `src/main.js`.

***

### 🔧 Customising the Selectors

If Blinkit updates its frontend, open `src/main.js` and update the `page.evaluate(...)` block:

```js
const name = getText('[class*="ProductName"]');  // ← update this
```

Use Chrome DevTools → Inspect on a product card to find the new class pattern.
