## What's an Apify Actor?

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.

# README

## RugRabbit Antique Rug Marketplace Scraper

Scrape antique rug and collector textile listings from [RugRabbit.com](https://www.rugrabbit.com/) — the global B2B/B2C marketplace for serious antique rug dealers. Extracts listing details, dealer contact information, dimensions, asking prices, and origin taxonomy across all major rug categories.

### What you get

Each record represents one listing and includes:

| Field | Description |
|-------|-------------|
| `listing_id` | RugRabbit node ID |
| `title` | Listing title |
| `dealer_name` | Name of the posting dealer |
| `dealer_url` | Dealer's RugRabbit profile URL |
| `dealer_email` | Dealer email if publicly shown in listing text |
| `origin_region` | Broad origin — Anatolian-Turkish, Caucasian, Persian, Turkmen, etc. |
| `period_circa` | Approximate period extracted from description |
| `age_classification` | antique / semi-antique / vintage / modern |
| `rug_type` | pile-rug / kilim / sumak / flatweave / bag-face / trapping |
| `dimensions_metric` | Dimensions in cm (e.g. `130 x 190 cm`) |
| `dimensions_imperial` | Dimensions in imperial units if present |
| `asking_price` | Numeric price (null if price on request) |
| `asking_currency` | Currency code (USD, EUR, GBP, etc.) |
| `is_price_on_request` | `true` when price requires contacting the dealer |
| `description` | Full listing description text |
| `primary_image_url` | CDN URL of the primary listing image |
| `posted_date` | Posting date |
| `listing_url` | Full URL of the listing on RugRabbit |

### How to use

#### Scrape by category (default)

Leave `categories` empty to walk all 17 origin/type categories. The actor handles `?page=N` pagination automatically.

```json
{
  "maxItems": 1000
}
````

#### Scrape specific origin categories

```json
{
  "categories": [
    "https://www.rugrabbit.com/category/country-origin/persian",
    "https://www.rugrabbit.com/category/country-origin/turkmen",
    "https://www.rugrabbit.com/category/country-origin/caucasian"
  ],
  "maxItems": 500
}
```

#### Scrape individual listing URLs

Pass a list of specific RugRabbit node URLs (e.g. from a saved collection or research list):

```json
{
  "listing_urls": [
    "https://www.rugrabbit.com/node/249973",
    "https://www.rugrabbit.com/node/249953"
  ],
  "maxItems": 100
}
```

### Available categories

The 17 taxonomy categories covered by default:

- Anatolian-Turkish
- Caucasian
- Persian
- Southwest Persian Tribal
- Shahsevan
- Kurdish
- Baluch
- Turkmen
- Central Asian (Non-Turkmen)
- Chinese
- Indian
- Moroccan / North African
- European / American
- Other / Unusual
- Flatweaves / Kilims
- Bags / Trappings
- Textiles / Embroideries

### Notes

- RugRabbit is a Drupal 7 site with a 10-second crawl delay in robots.txt — the actor respects this with limited concurrency.
- Asking prices are often "price on request" for collector-grade pieces; `is_price_on_request: true` flags these.
- Dealer emails are extracted from listing description text when dealers include them publicly.
- Image URLs point to RugRabbit's CDN (`sites/default/files/`) — reference only, no rehosting.
- For full provenance and condition details, visit the listing URL directly.
