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 ## Saatchi Art Original Art Listings Scraper Scrape original artwork listings from Saatchi Art — the world's largest online marketplace for original art with over 2 million works from 100,000+ artists. ### What it does This actor paginates through Saatchi Art listing pages and extracts structured artwork data from the server-rendered JSON embedded in each page. No detail page crawl required — all fields come from the listing index. **Output fields per artwork:** - Artwork ID, title, and direct URL - Artist name, location, and profile URL - Category, style(s), subject, medium(s), and materials - Price in USD (original listing price) - Sold/available status and print availability - Dimensions in cm and inches, orientation - Primary image URL (reference only — not rehosted) - Upload date as ISO timestamp ### Input | Field | Type | Default | Description | |-------|------|---------|-------------| | `maxItems` | integer | 10 | Maximum artworks to scrape. Leave empty to scrape all. | | `startUrls` | array | — | BYO Saatchi Art listing URLs (category, filter, or style pages). If empty, uses `category`. | | `category` | string | `paintings` | Category to scrape when `startUrls` is not set. | **Available categories:** `paintings`, `drawings`, `printmaking`, `photography`, `sculpture`, `mixed-media`, `fiber-arts`, `drawings-pastels` **Example `startUrls` values:** - `https://www.saatchiart.com/paintings` — all paintings - `https://www.saatchiart.com/paintings/abstract` — abstract paintings only - `https://www.saatchiart.com/photography/portrait` — portrait photography ### Example output ```json { "artwork_id": "12785089", "title": "Arizona Dream, Floriane", "artist_name": "delphine rocher", "artist_location": "france", "category": "Painting", "subject": "landscape", "style": "figurative", "styles": "figurative, impressionism, surrealism, fauvism", "medium": "oil", "mediums": "oil", "materials": "canvas", "price": 3730, "currency": "USD", "is_sold": false, "is_original": true, "has_prints": false, "edition_info": "", "dimensions_cm": "81W x 116H x 2D cm", "dimensions_in": "31.9W x 45.7H x 0.8D in", "orientation": "vertical", "is_ready_to_hang": true, "year_created": "2025-05-06T08:23:19.000Z", "image_url": "https://images.saatchiart.com/saatchi/1645581/art/12785089/11847267-TNDERRFA-7.jpg", "artwork_url": "https://www.saatchiart.com/art/Painting-Arizona-Dream-Floriane/1645581/12785089/view", "artist_profile_url": "https://www.saatchiart.com/delphinerocher" } ```` ### Use cases - **Art market analytics** — price benchmarking across styles, mediums, and categories - **Artist discovery** — build datasets of emerging artists by location and speciality - **Portfolio research** — monitor availability and pricing across the primary art market - **Style and trend analysis** — track which styles and subjects are active on the market - **Academic research** — study art market pricing patterns across 2M+ listed works ### Notes - Image URLs are reference links to Saatchi Art's CDN — the actor does not download or rehost images - Prices reflect the USD listing price; Saatchi Art may display different prices by region - The `is_original` field is always `true` — listing pages only show original works, not prints; `has_prints` indicates if print editions are separately available - Saatchi Art serves server-rendered HTML — no browser required, low resource usage # 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 artworks to scrape.
