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 ## Rugs.com Area Rug Catalog & Price Scraper Scrapes rugs.com — the largest US-direct rug retailer — for catalog pricing, size variants, materials, construction, and availability. Returns one record per SKU with all the fields competitive intelligence actually needs. Covers 60,000+ active SKUs. Runs without a proxy, no Cloudflare challenges, no browser required. Just HTML and embedded JSON. ### What You Get | Field | Description | |-------|-------------| | `product_id` | Rugs.com display SKU | | `sku` | Internal system SKU | | `title` | Product title including size and color | | `collection_name` | Collection name (e.g. Newport, Morocco, Kaleen) | | `brand` | Always `Rugs.com` for this source | | `rug_type` | Shape — rectangle, round, runner, etc. | | `style` | Primary style tag — modern, traditional, vintage, tribal | | `material_primary` | Full material string (e.g. 100% Polypropylene, Wool Blend) | | `construction` | Machine Made, Hand-Knotted, Hand-Tufted, Flatweave | | `colors` | All available color variants for this rug family | | `dimensions_offered` | Every size option for this rug family (2x3, 5x8, 9x12 ...) | | `selected_size` | Size of this specific SKU record | | `selected_size_price_usd` | Current selling price for this size | | `selected_size_msrp_usd` | Compare-at / MSRP price | | `discount_pct` | Discount off MSRP | | `in_stock` | Available to order right now | | `average_rating` | Average review score (out of 5) | | `review_count` | Total customer reviews | | `product_url` | Full product page URL | | `primary_image_url` | Main product image (CDN hosted at assets.rugimg.com) | | `breadcrumb_category` | Full breadcrumb path (All Rugs > Vintage Rugs > Newport) | Size-by-size pricing is the key feature here. A 5x8 and a 9x12 of the same rug are different SKUs at different prices — most generic e-commerce scrapers flatten that. This one doesn't. ### Input Options #### Default: Full Catalog Leave `product_urls` and `collection_urls` empty. The scraper paginates the full catalog at 84 items per page. ```json { "maxItems": 100 } ```` #### BYO Product URLs Pass specific rugs.com product pages to scrape directly. Useful when you have a list of SKUs and want fresh pricing without crawling the whole catalog. ```json { "maxItems": 50, "product_urls": [ "https://rugs.com/blue-7-ft-round-newport-area-rug-6329230", "https://rugs.com/gray-5x8-chic-low-pile-rug-1552929" ] } ``` #### BYO Collection URLs Scope the crawl to specific categories or collections. The scraper paginates whatever browse URL you provide. ```json { "maxItems": 500, "collection_urls": [ "https://rugs.com/rugs?collections=outdoor", "https://rugs.com/rugs?pile=wool" ] } ``` ### Use Cases **Competitive pricing intelligence** — RugsUSA, Wayfair, and Overstock all price against rugs.com. A fresh export tells you where you're overpriced, where you have room, and which collections are running aggressive sales. **Affiliate price-comparison engines** — Catalog currency matters. Stale pricing means lost clicks or price-mismatch 404s. Schedule a weekly run and keep your comparison table accurate. **Market research** — 60,000+ SKUs with taxonomy (construction, material, style, origin) is a reasonable dataset for understanding what the US rug market actually looks like at retail. ### Notes - Crawls at 5 concurrent requests by default — polite but not slow. - The `dimensions_offered` field is an array of all size variants for a given rug family, not just the current SKU's size. It's the full size matrix. - `origin_country` is not currently extracted — it appears in free-text descriptions only. Filed for a future update. - Images live at `assets.rugimg.com`. The URLs are stable CDN links — reference-only, no download. # 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. ## `maxItems` (type: `integer`): Maximum number of records to scrape.
