## 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

## Shein Product Detail & Variants Scraper

Extract full product detail from Shein PDPs: all color/size variants with per-variant stock, pricing, size guide, composition, ratings, and images. Supports `us.shein.com` and regional storefronts. Built for apparel-catalog and dropshipping-import workflows.

### What you get

Each scraped PDP produces one dataset record with:

| Field | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| `goods_id` | string | Shein internal product id (numeric string, extracted from PDP or URL) |
| `goods_sn` | string | Shein product SKU/style code (e.g. sw2212215742) |
| `product_url` | string | Canonical product page URL |
| `product_name` | string | Product display title |

| `sale_price` | number | Current discounted sale price |
| `retail_price` | number | Original / retail price before discount |
| `discount_pct` | number | Discount percentage off retail price (0–100) |
| `currency` | string | Currency code (e.g. USD, GBP, EUR) |
| `in_stock` | boolean | True if at least one variant is available |
| `stock_hint` | string | Low-stock banner text (e.g. "Almost Sold Out") — null if none |
| `colors` | array | Color option objects — `{color_name, thumb_url, goods_id_for_color}` |
| `sizes` | array | Size objects — `{size_label, size_measurements, in_stock}` |
| `size_fit` | string | Size fit feedback summary (e.g. "Runs small", "True to size") |
| `size_guide` | object | Size guide chart — `{unit, rows:[{size, bust, waist, hip, length}]}` |
| `images` | array | Product image URLs (main + all gallery images) |
| `video_url` | string | Product video URL — null if none |
| `material` | string | Primary material name |
| `composition` | string | Full fabric composition (e.g. 95% Polyester, 5% Spandex) |
| `care_instructions` | string | Care instruction text |
| `review_count` | integer | Total number of customer reviews |
| `avg_rating` | number | Average star rating (0–5) |
| `rating_breakdown` | object | `{true_to_size_pct, quality_pct, shipping_speed_pct}` |
| `seller_name` | string | Seller/store name — null for standard Shein listings |
| `is_flash_sale` | boolean | True if the product is on a flash/limited-time sale |
| `flash_sale_price` | number | Flash-sale price if active — null otherwise |
| `flash_sale_end` | string | ISO 8601 end timestamp of the flash sale — null if not a flash sale |
| `scraped_at` | string | ISO 8601 timestamp when this record was scraped |
| `region` | string | Storefront region code (us / uk / de / etc.) |

### Input

| Parameter | Type | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| `productUrls` | array | Yes | List of Shein PDP URLs to scrape. Each entry is `{"url": "https://us.shein.com/...-p-<id>.html"}`. URLs must end in `-p-<id>.html`. |
| `maxItems` | integer | Yes | Maximum number of records to return. |
| `region` | string | No | Storefront region code (e.g. `us`, `uk`, `de`). Auto-detected from the URL if omitted. |

#### Example input

```json
{
  "productUrls": [
    {"url": "https://us.shein.com/product-p-28861291.html"},
    {"url": "https://us.shein.com/product-p-12345678.html"}
  ],
  "region": "us",
  "maxItems": 100
}
````

### Supported URLs

- `https://us.shein.com/...-p-<id>.html`
- `https://shein.co.uk/...-p-<id>.html`
- `https://shein.de/...-p-<id>.html`
- Any `*.shein.*` or `shein.com*` hostname with a `-p-<id>.html` path

URLs that do not match the `-p-<id>.html` pattern are skipped with a warning.

### Resuming a large crawl

To continue a run that was interrupted or hit `maxItems` before finishing:

1. Find `resumeCursor` in the previous run's **OUTPUT** key-value store entry.
2. Pass it as `resumeCursor` in the new run's input alongside the same `productUrls` list.

The actor reopens the previous run's request queue, skipping pages already processed — no duplicate charges, no duplicate records.

*Note: resumption only benefits runs that did not complete in a single execution. Single-URL or fully-completed runs do not need it.*

### Notes

- Uses **Bright Data Web Unlocker** (IceBreaker) for guaranteed access to Shein PDPs. BD handles JS rendering and anti-bot detection server-side.
- A read-through cache reduces redundant BD fetches on re-runs of the same URLs.
- Halo challenge pages (BD verdict:ok but no product data) are detected and skipped automatically.
- Price and stock data reflects the state at scrape time. For price monitoring use the companion **Shein Product Monitor** actor.

# 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.

## `resumeCursor` (type: `string`):

Leave empty for a fresh crawl. To CONTINUE a previous run where it stopped — without paying again for records you already received — paste the `resumeCursor` value from that run's Output (the run's OUTPUT key). Resume promptly: the previous run's data expires with your account's retention window (free tier: your ~10 most recent runs).

## `productUrls` (type: `array`):

List of Shein product page URLs to scrape. Use the full product detail URL
ending in -p-<id>.html (e.g. https://us.shein.com/some-product-p-1234567.html).
Each URL fetches the full product data: variants, sizes, pricing, composition, ratings, images.

## `region` (type: `string`):

Shein storefront region for currency context (e.g. us, uk, de). Derived from the URL domain if omitted.

## `maxItems` (type: `integer`):

Maximum number of product records to emit per run (0 = no limit)

## Actor input object example

```json
{
  "sp_intended_usage": "Describe your intended use...",
  "sp_improvement_suggestions": "Share your suggestions here...",
  "sp_contact": "Share your email here...",
  "productUrls": [
    {

    }
  ],
  "region": "us",
  "maxItems": 5
