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`). # README ## Guardianmy Reviews Spider ### Introduction The Guardianmy Reviews Spider is a powerful Apify Actor designed to scrape product reviews from Guardian Malaysia's e-commerce website. It extracts detailed review data, including ratings, titles, bodies, and metadata, enabling users to gather valuable insights for market research and analysis. This tool streamlines the process of collecting authentic customer feedback, making it easier to understand product performance and consumer sentiment in the Malaysian market. ### Features - **Comprehensive Review Extraction**: Scrapes full review details such as ratings, titles, bodies, and timestamps from Guardian Malaysia product pages. - **Structured Data Output**: Provides clean, JSON-formatted data with fields like Product ID, Review ID, Sentiment, and more for easy integration into analytics tools. - **High Reliability**: Built with robust error handling to ensure consistent data collection even from dynamic web pages. - **Scalable Performance**: Handles multiple URLs efficiently, supporting batch processing for large-scale scraping tasks. - **Metadata Enrichment**: Includes additional fields like product segments, brands, countries, and crawled dates for enriched analysis. - **Customizable Inputs**: Accepts a list of URLs to target specific products, allowing flexible and targeted data extraction. - **Apify Integration**: Seamlessly runs on the Apify platform with built-in monitoring, logging, and export options. ### Input Parameters | Parameter | Type | Required | Description | Example | |-----------|--------|----------|-------------|---------| | Urls | array | No | A list of URLs pointing to Guardian Malaysia product pages from which to scrape reviews.

Clients without OAuth support can send an `Authorization: Bearer ` header instead, using a token from API & Integrations in Apify Console (https://console.apify.com/settings/integrations). ## OpenAPI specification Download the OpenAPI definition: https://api.apify.com/v2/actors/GzC5vLQUJoAegITey/builds/oAjRGhu2xQ8xc06ds/openapi.json
