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 ## Babylist Baby Registry Product Catalog Scraper Scrapes Babylist's product catalog — product details, pricing, ratings, multi-retailer where-to-buy links, editorial badges, and category data from the leading US baby registry platform. ### What it does Babylist uses a React SSR pattern where all product data is embedded in the page HTML as a JSON blob. This actor extracts that data directly without a browser, giving you fast, reliable access to the full product catalog. ### Scrape modes | Mode | Description | |------|-------------| | `sitemap` | Walks the full product sitemap (~10,000 products) | | `category` | Scrapes a specific category (e.g. `strollers`, `car-seats`, `baby-monitors`) | | `product_urls` | Scrapes a list of product URLs you supply | | `editorial` | Extracts products from Babylist's best-of editorial lists | ### Input parameters | Field | Type | Default | Description | |-------|------|---------|-------------| | `mode` | string | `sitemap` | Which data to collect — `sitemap`, `category`, `product_urls`, or `editorial` | | `categorySlug` | string | `strollers` | Category slug for `category` mode (e.g. `car-seats`, `baby-monitors`) | | `startUrls` | array | — | Product URLs for `product_urls` mode | | `maxItems` | integer | `10` | Maximum products to scrape; `0` = unlimited | ### Output schema Each record contains: | Field | Type | Description | |-------|------|-------------| | `product_id` | integer | Babylist internal product group ID | | `variant_id` | integer | Babylist internal variant ID | | `product_name` | string | Full product name including variant | | `product_url` | string | Canonical Babylist product URL | | `brand` | string | Brand name | | `category` | string | Primary category | | `subcategory` | string | Subcategory (last breadcrumb) | | `description` | string | Product description (HTML stripped) | | `price_current` | number | Current Babylist price in USD | | `price_was` | number | Original/MSRP price when on sale | | `currency` | string | Always `USD` | | `rating_average` | number | Community star rating (1.0-5.0) | | `rating_count` | integer | Number of community ratings | | `review_highlights` | string | Top review excerpts (JSON array) | | `retailer_links` | string | Multi-retailer where-to-buy options (JSON array of `{retailer, price, url}`) | | `editorial_badges` | string | Editorial callouts e.g. "Best of Babylist 2025" (JSON array) | | `image_urls` | string | Product image URLs (JSON array) | | `color_options` | string | Available color variants (JSON array) | | `size_options` | string | Available size/style variants (JSON array) | | `gtin` | string | Global Trade Item Number (barcode) | | `in_stock` | boolean | Whether the product is available on Babylist | | `fsa_hsa_eligible` | boolean | Whether the product qualifies for FSA/HSA spending | | `scraped_at` | string | ISO timestamp of when the record was scraped | ### Example output ```json { "product_id": 13869, "variant_id": 22497, "product_name": "Book Rack - Yellow Lion", "product_url": "https://www.babylist.com/gp/3-sprouts-book-rack/13869/22497", "brand": "3 Sprouts", "category": "Nursery", "subcategory": "Nursery Storage", "description": "Adorable character book rack to store your little one's favorite books...", "price_current": 39.99, "price_was": null, "currency": "USD", "rating_average": 4.8, "rating_count": 312, "in_stock": true, "fsa_hsa_eligible": false, "retailer_links": "[{\"retailer\":\"Amazon\",\"price\":37.99,\"url\":\"https://...\"}]", "image_urls": "[\"https://images.babylist.com/...\"]", "scraped_at": "2026-05-24T14:31:59.000Z" } ```` ### Usage examples **Scrape the full product catalog (sitemap mode):** ```json { "mode": "sitemap", "maxItems": 0 } ``` **Scrape strollers category:** ```json { "mode": "category", "categorySlug": "strollers", "maxItems": 100 } ``` **Scrape specific products:** ```json { "mode": "product_urls", "startUrls": [ "https://www.babylist.com/gp/uppababy-mesa-v2/12345/67890", "https://www.babylist.com/gp/snoo-smart-sleeper/54321/11111" ] } ``` **Extract editorial best-of lists:** ```json { "mode": "editorial", "maxItems": 50 } ``` ### Performance - Full sitemap crawl (~10,000 products): runs in datacenter mode, no proxy required - Memory: 512 MB - Concurrency: 8 parallel requests - Timeout: 4 hours (for full catalog runs) # Actor input Schema ## `sp_intended_usage` (type: `string`): Please describe how you plan to use the data extracted by this crawler. ## `sp_improvement_suggestions` (type: `string`): Provide any feedback or suggestions for improvements. ## `sp_contact` (type: `string`): Provide your email address so we can get in touch with you. ## `mode` (type: `string`): Which data to collect.
