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 ## Zara Price Monitor & Alerts ### Overview The **Zara Price Monitor & Alerts** is a production-grade Apify actor designed to automatically track **Zara product prices, stock availability, and size inventory**. Receive instant alerts when prices drop, increase, or items are back in stock. This actor is built for **stability, scalability, and ease of use**. --- ### πŸš€ Features - **Price Monitoring:** Track every price change for your favorite Zara products. - **Stock Alerts:** Get notified when products or specific sizes are back in stock. - **Real-time Notifications:** Send alerts directly to **Telegram**. - **Automated Cron Runs:** Run hourly, daily, or on a custom schedule. - **History Tracking:** Keeps previous prices in the dataset for trend analysis. - **Scalable:** Monitor hundreds of URLs per run. --- ### πŸ“₯ Input Schema | Field | Type | Description | Default | |-------|------|-------------|---------| | `productUrls` | array | List of Zara product URLs to monitor | Required | --- ### πŸ“€ Output The actor produces: 1. **Dataset URL:** Full JSON of monitored products, including: - Current price - Previous tracked price - Stock status - Alerts triggered - Checked timestamp 2. **Summary Record:** Quick overview of all processed products. --- #### Example Output ```json { "productId": "513858735", "name": "Cropped Fit Split Suede Overshirt", "currentPrice": 179, "previousTrackedPrice": 199, "discountFromLast": 10.05, "currency": "EUR", "inStock": true, "availableSizes": ["S","M","L"], "alerts": ["price_drop"], "alertMessage": "πŸ”₯ Price dropped from 199 β†’ 179", "priceChanged": true, "url": "https://www.zara.com/...", "checkedAt": "2026-04-04T12:00:00Z" } ```` *** ### ⚑ How to Use 1. **Create a Telegram Bot** and get the bot token (see instructions below). 2. **Add Zara product URLs** you want to monitor using the actor’s input schema. 3. **Run the actor** manually or schedule it using [Apify Schedules](https://console.apify.com/schedules). 4. **Check the dataset or summary** for results. 5. **Receive Telegram alerts** automatically for price drops or stock changes. ### πŸ”Ή How to Create a Telegram Bot 1. Open Telegram and search for **@BotFather**. 2. Start a chat with BotFather and send `/start`. 3. Send `/newbot` and follow the instructions: - Choose a **name** for your bot. - Choose a **username** (must end with `bot`, e.g., `ZaraPriceBot`). 4. BotFather will give you a **bot token**. Copy it β€” you’ll need it in the actor input. 5. **Important:** Send any message to your bot to activate it. - This ensures your chat ID is registered and the bot can send alerts to you. ### Support & Maintenance This actor is actively maintained and designed for production usage. For issues or feature requests, please use the Apify platform issue tracker. # Actor input Schema ## `productUrls` (type: `array`): List of Zara product URLs to monitor ## `telegramBotToken` (type: `string`): Your Telegram bot token to send alerts, keep it empty if you don't want Telegram alerts ## Actor input object example ```json { "productUrls": [ "https://www.zara.com/fr/en/cropped-fit-split-suede-overshirt-p08281412.html", "https://www.zara.com/fr/en/double-breasted-wool-blend-blazer-p04159135.html" ] } ``` # Actor output Schema ## `results` (type: `string`): Dataset containing monitored products, prices, stock status, and alerts ## `summary` (type: `string`): Summary of processed products # API You can run this Actor programmatically using our API.
