# AJIO Catalogue by Category (`ikmal_suzali_atr/ajio-catalog`) Actor

Every product in an AJIO (India) category ("Men - Tshirts"): id, name, brand, price, MRP, discount, rating, tags and URL, 90 per page. Captured via AJIO's search API filtered to the category facet; AJIO exposes no sponsored marker, so is\_sponsored is always false. Dual-mode (Apify + ATR worker).

## 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`).

# README

## AJIO Catalogue by Category

Pulls every product in an AJIO (India) category, 90 a page, with brand, price, MRP, discount, seller and product URL. Use it to mirror a fashion category, track discounting across a season, or compare a brand's listed assortment against its rivals.

### What you get

- One row per product: `id`, `name`, `brand`, `price`, `original_price`, `mrp`, `discount_pct`, `currency` and `product_url`.
- `page` and `position` for exact placement inside the category listing.
- `seller` and `seller_id`, so marketplace sellers can be tracked by name.
- AJIO's merchandising taxonomy on every row: `brick`, `vertical` and `segment`, plus `category_label`.
- `color_group` and `base_id` to group colourways of the same style.
- `offer_price` and `coupon_status` for the promotion attached to the product, and optional expansion of a whole gender group into its individual categories.

### Input

A category is named by its facet label, `"<Gender> - <Category>"`.

```json
{
  "categories": ["Men - Tshirts", "Women - Kurtas"],
  "locale": "in",
  "maxPages": 1,
  "concurrency": 2,
  "expandSubcategories": false,
  "delayMs": 1200,
  "callsPerSession": 60,
  "proxyConfiguration": {
    "useApifyProxy": true,
    "apifyProxyGroups": ["RESIDENTIAL"],
    "apifyProxyCountry": "IN"
  }
}
```

- `categories` (required): labels such as `"Men - Tshirts"`, or a `/c/<id>` URL such as `https://www.ajio.com/men-tshirts/c/830216014`. A bare gender such as `"Men"` with `expandSubcategories` on crawls every category under it.
- `maxPages`: pages per category. `0` means every page. AJIO serves 90 products a page.
- `concurrency`: pages fetched in parallel within one category, 1 to 4.
- `proxyConfiguration`: egress for the run. An Indian residential proxy is the default.

### Output

One dataset row per product per page.

```json
{
  "platform": "ajio",
  "locale": "in",
  "category": "Men - Tshirts",
  "category_label": "Men - Tshirts",
  "page": 1,
  "position": 1,
  "id": "469558382001",
  "name": "Typographic Print Crew-Neck T-shirt",
  "brand": "NEONOMAD",
  "price": 809,
  "original_price": 1999,
  "mrp": 1999,
  "discount_pct": 59,
  "offer_price": 809,
  "currency": "INR",
  "rating": 4.2,
  "rating_count": 318,
  "in_stock": true,
  "is_sponsored": false,
  "seller": "AJIO",
  "brick": "Tshirts",
  "color_group": "469558382_black",
  "product_url": "https://www.ajio.com/p/469558382001",
  "fetched_at": "2026-09-12T03:35:09.757Z"
}
```

`is_sponsored` is always `false`. AJIO exposes no sponsored or ad marker on listings, so every position here is organic. `rating` and `rating_count` come through only for products AJIO has rated. `original_price` is set only when the MRP is above the selling price, while `mrp` is the listed MRP either way.

### Use cases

- Discount-depth tracking across a category, from `price`, `mrp` and `discount_pct`.
- Assortment mapping by `brand`, `brick` and `vertical`, to find gaps against competitors.
- Seller monitoring on the marketplace side, using `seller` and `seller_id`.
- New-arrival detection by diffing `id`, and colourway coverage per style from `base_id`.

### Notes and limits

- 90 products a page. That is the largest page size AJIO's API honours.
- Only AJIO's search API is reachable, so a category is listed by its facet label rather than by browsing the category page. That is why categories are named `"Men - Tshirts"`.
- A near-miss label is auto-corrected once. Asking for `"Women - Kurtas"` when the real facet is `"Women - Kurtas & Kurtis"` resolves to it. An ambiguous label returns zero rows plus suggestions.
- AJIO has no sponsored flag in the listing payload. `is_sponsored` is always false by construction, not by observation of a particular run.
- Only the India storefront exists.
- An Indian residential proxy is needed. Other egress is refused at the edge.

### FAQ

**Do I need a proxy?** Yes. An Indian residential proxy, which is the actor default.

**How many results can I get?** Everything AJIO lists for the category, 90 rows a page. `maxPages` caps it, `0` means no cap.

**Does it need a login or an API key?** No.

**Does it tell me which products are ads?** No, and neither does AJIO. There is no sponsored marker in the listing response, so `is_sponsored` is always false.

**What exactly do I put in `categories`?** The facet label AJIO itself uses, in the form `"<Gender> - <Category>"`. A `/c/<id>` URL works too and is mapped to the label through AJIO's navigation tree.

# Actor input Schema

## `categories` (type: `array`):

AJIO category labels as "<Gender> - <Category>" (the site's l1l3 facet names), e.g. "Men - Tshirts", "Women - Kurtas", or a /c/<id> URL such as "https://www.ajio.com/men-tshirts/c/830216014". A bare gender ("Men") with "Include subcategories" crawls every category under it.

## `locale` (type: `string`):

Which storefront / locale.

## `maxPages` (type: `integer`):

0 = all pages.

## `concurrency` (type: `integer`):

Pages fetched in parallel within a category (1-4). 2 is safe.

## `expandSubcategories` (type: `boolean`):

Also crawl each category's subcategories when the site exposes them.

## `delayMs` (type: `integer`):

Pause between page fetches.

## `callsPerSession` (type: `integer`):

Re-mint the session after this many page fetches.

## `proxyConfiguration` (type: `object`):

On the Apify platform this decides egress. A residential proxy in the storefront's country is recommended (IN for the default). On our own servers it is ignored and our residential proxy is used.

## Actor input object example

```json
{
  "categories": [
    "Men - Tshirts"
  ],
  "locale": "in",
  "maxPages": 0,
  "concurrency": 2,
  "expandSubcategories": false,
  "delayMs": 1200,
  "callsPerSession": 60,
  "proxyConfiguration": {
    "useApifyProxy": true,
    "apifyProxyGroups": [
      "RESIDENTIAL"
    ],
    "apifyProxyCountry": "IN"
  }
}
```

# Actor output Schema

## `results` (type: `string`):

The hosted server signs you in with OAuth on first connect, so no API token belongs in this config. Clients without OAuth support can send an `Authorization: Bearer <APIFY_API_TOKEN>` header instead, using a token from API & Integrations in Apify Console (https://console.apify.com/settings/integrations).
