## 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.

# README

## BigBasket Grocery Scraper - Products & Prices

Collect public BigBasket grocery and household product catalog data by search keyword or category URL. The Actor returns clean, structured records containing product names, brands, pack sizes, current prices, MRP, discounts, ratings, availability, categories, images, and canonical product URLs.

The scraper uses BigBasket's public storefront listing service and initializes the anonymous regional cookies used by the website. India residential proxies are recommended because product availability and prices can vary by service area.

### Features

- Search multiple grocery keywords in one run
- Scrape supported BigBasket category and brand URLs
- Process up to 1,000 unique products
- Filter by exact brand name or in-stock availability
- Deduplicate products globally by product ID
- Export JSON, CSV, Excel, XML, RSS, or JSONL through Apify Dataset
- Charge only after a real product record is saved

### How to Scrape BigBasket Products

1. Add one or more search keywords, category URLs, or both.
2. Choose the maximum result and page limits.
3. Optionally add brand filters or enable in-stock-only mode.
4. Run the Actor and export the Products dataset view.
