Every product on a noon.com category listing (UAE, KSA, Egypt): SKU, name, brand, price, sale price, rating, seller, best-seller rank, stock and sponsored flag, page by page. Dual-mode: the same code runs as an ATR BullMQ 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

## noon Catalogue by Category

Pulls every product on a noon.com category listing, one row per product with price, rating, seller, best-seller rank, stock and a sponsored flag. Built for brands and category managers in the Gulf who need the full shelf of a category in its real order. The UAE storefront (noon.com/uae-en) is verified.

### What you get

- Complete coverage page by page, with `category`, `breadcrumbs`, `page` and `position` per row.
- The full price picture: `price` is the live selling price, `original_price` the pre-discount price, `currency` the storefront's (AED, SAR or EGP).
- Seller visibility where the offer changes hands: `seller` owns the offer, `offer_code` identifies it.
- noon's merchandising signals: `is_bestseller`, `best_seller_rank` such as `#1`, `flags` like `rocket` for express delivery, and `nudges`.
- `is_sponsored` per row, so paid placements are separable from organic ones.
- Identity you can join on: `id` and `sku` hold the noon SKU, `brand` and `brand_code` the brand, `rating` and `rating_count` the reviews.

### Input

Give it category paths or full noon URLs plus a storefront.

```json
{
  "categories": ["/beauty/makeup-16142/"],
  "maxPages": 2,
  "proxyConfiguration": {
    "useApifyProxy": true,
    "apifyProxyGroups": ["RESIDENTIAL"],
    "apifyProxyCountry": "AE"
  },
  "locale": "uae-en",
  "delayMs": 1200
}
```

- `categories` (required): paths such as `/beauty/makeup-16142/` or full noon URLs.
- `locale`: `uae-en`, `uae-ar`, `egypt-en` or `egypt-ar`. Default `uae-en`. Read the limits below before picking a Saudi locale.
- `maxPages`: pages per category. `0` means all pages, which noon caps at 10.
- `proxyConfiguration`: residential in the storefront's country, AE for UAE. The default is AE.

### Output

One dataset row per product, in listing order.

```json
{
  "platform": "noon",
  "locale": "uae-en",
  "category": "/beauty/makeup-16142/",
  "breadcrumbs": "Home > Beauty & Fragrance > Makeup",
  "page": 1,
  "position": 1,
  "id": "ZE1D4F1A627660E67E93CZ",
  "offer_code": "cd138f6418393f3b",
  "name": "Infallible 3-Second Setting Spray Mist, 36HR Wear",
  "brand": "L'OREAL PARIS",
  "brand_code": "l_oreal",
  "price": 45.2,
  "original_price": 51.28,
  "currency": "AED",
  "rating": 4.4,
  "rating_count": 836,
  "in_stock": true,
  "is_bestseller": true,
  "best_seller_rank": "#1",
  "is_sponsored": false,
  "seller": "noon",
  "flags": ["quick_atc", "rocket"],
  "nudges": ["Selling out fast"],
  "fetched_at": "2026-09-11T20:34:33.300Z"
}
```

`original_price` is null when the product is not discounted, `rating` and `rating_count` are null on products with no reviews, and `best_seller_rank` is null outside the ranked bestsellers.

### Use cases

- Availability audits: diff `id` sets and `in_stock` between runs to catch new listings and stock-outs.
- Discount depth tracking from `price` against `original_price`, per currency.
- Seller mix analysis from `seller` and `offer_code`, to see when a third party takes your listing.
- Bestseller tracking from `is_bestseller` and `best_seller_rank`, noon's ranked view of a subcategory.
- Delivery promise coverage from `flags`, since express eligibility moves conversion.

### Notes and limits

- noon serves at most 10 pages per listing, roughly 500 products. For a deep category pass subcategory URLs. A verified run on `/beauty/makeup-16142/` returned 100 products over two pages.
- The Saudi locales (`saudi-en`, `saudi-ar`) return Access Denied from every egress tested, a Saudi residential proxy included. The actor stops at once with a clear message. Use `uae-en` or Egypt.
- Landing pages with no product grid, such as `/electronics`, are skipped with a warning. An invalid path fails with a clear 404 message.
- noon sits behind a bot-management layer, so a real browser establishes the session once and every page is then fetched over fast HTTP with it.

### FAQ

**Do I need a proxy?** Yes. Residential in the storefront's country, AE for the UAE locales and EG for Egypt. The input defaults to AE.

**How many results can I get?** Up to 10 pages at about 50 products per page, roughly 500 per listing. Use subcategory paths to go deeper.

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

**Why does a Saudi run fail instantly?** That storefront refused every egress tested, in-country residential exits included. Rather than return an empty dataset that looks like an empty category, the actor fails fast.

# Actor input Schema

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

Category paths or full noon URLs, e.g. "/beauty/makeup-16142/" or "https://www.noon.com/uae-en/laptops/". noon serves at most 10 pages (~500 products) per listing, so use subcategory URLs for deep categories. Landing pages without a product grid (e.g. "/electronics") are skipped with a warning.

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

Which noon storefront.

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

0 = all pages (noon lists ~50 products per page).

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

Pause between page fetches.

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

Re-mint the browser session after this many page fetches.

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

On the Apify platform this decides egress. Residential proxy in the UAE (country AE) is recommended; noon is behind Akamai Bot Manager. On our own servers this is ignored and our residential proxy is used.

## Actor input object example

```json
{
  "categories": [
    "/beauty/makeup-16142/"
  ],
  "locale": "uae-en",
  "maxPages": 0,
  "delayMs": 1200,
  "callsPerSession": 60,
  "proxyConfiguration": {
    "useApifyProxy": true,
    "apifyProxyGroups": [
      "RESIDENTIAL"
    ],
    "apifyProxyCountry": "AE"
  }
}
```

# Actor output Schema

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

One row per product.

## `summary` (type: `string`):

Counts for the run: what was requested, captured, skipped and failed.

## CLI example

```bash
echo '{
  "categories": [
    "/beauty/makeup-16142/"
  ]
}' |
apify call ikmal_suzali_atr/noon-catalog --silent --output-dataset

## MCP server setup

```json
{
    "mcpServers": {
        "apify": {
            "type": "http",
            "url": "https://mcp.apify.com/?tools=fetch-actor-details,ikmal_suzali_atr/noon-catalog"
        }
    }
}
```

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).
