## 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

## 29CM Product Scraper 🛍️

Scrape **searched** and **category-ranked** products from [29CM](https://www.29cm.co.kr) — Korea's premium designer-curation store for fashion, beauty, and lifestyle — as clean, structured JSON. Get product names, brands, KRW prices, discounts, ratings, review counts, "heart" (wishlist) counts, and images in one call.

Built for **K-fashion & lifestyle trend research**, **dropshipping product sourcing**, and **price monitoring**.

> **Try it free.** Apify's free plan includes $5 of monthly platform credit — roughly **2,000 results** from this actor, no credit card required. Set your input, click Start, and export JSON/CSV/Excel.

---

### What it does

This actor pulls product data directly from 29CM's public product API (the same one that powers 29cm.co.kr), so results are fast and complete — no fragile HTML scraping in the happy path. Two modes:

- **Search** — every product matching a keyword (e.g. `nike`, `coat`, `가디건`). Deep, reliable pagination.
- **Category ranking** — the best-selling products for a 29CM large-category code. When sorted by `BEST`, each item includes its `rank`.

If the JSON API is ever unavailable, the actor automatically falls back to extracting the product list from the search page's embedded `__NEXT_DATA__` payload.

---

### Input

| Field | Type | Description |
|-------|------|-------------|
| `mode` | string | `"search"` or `"category"`. |
| `query` | string | **Search mode:** a keyword. **Category mode:** a 29CM large-category code (see below). |
| `sort` | string | `BEST` (popularity), `LATEST`, `REVIEW`, `LOW_PRICE`, or `HIGH_PRICE`. Default `BEST`. |
| `maxItems` | integer | Max products to collect. Default `100`. |
| `proxyConfiguration` | object | Apify Proxy settings. `RESIDENTIAL` recommended for large runs. |

#### Common category codes (category mode)

| Code | Category |
|------|----------|
| `268100100` | Women's Clothing |
| `272100100` | Men's Clothing |
| `270100100` | Women's Shoes |
| `271100100` | Women's Accessories |
| `275100100` | Men's Accessories |
| `292100100` | Kitchen / Living |

#### Input example

```json
{
  "mode": "search",
  "query": "nike",
  "sort": "BEST",
  "maxItems": 100
}
````

```json
{
  "mode": "category",
  "query": "268100100",
  "sort": "BEST",
  "maxItems": 200
}
```

### Use cases

- **K-fashion & lifestyle trend research** — track which designer brands and price points are climbing 29CM's popularity rankings week over week.
- **Dropshipping / product sourcing** — build a catalog of trending Korean designer products with images, brands, and prices to source or resell.
- **Price & discount monitoring** — watch `price_krw` vs `sale_price_krw` and `discount_rate` over time to catch drops and benchmark competitor pricing.
- **AI agents & datasets** — feed structured fashion/lifestyle data into recommendation models, market dashboards, or LLM agents.

***

### ❓ FAQ

**Is it legal to scrape this data?**
This actor collects only public, non-personal catalog data — the same product listings any 29CM visitor sees without logging in. No personal data is collected. You are responsible for how you use the data; see the legality note below.

**What does it cost in practice?**
$2.50 per 1,000 results (launch pricing), plus a few cents of platform usage. Example: a 500-result daily pull costs about $1.25/day. Apify's free $5 monthly credit covers ~2,000 results.

**Do I need to configure proxies?**
No — the default settings work out of the box. For large runs (high `maxItems`), enabling Apify Proxy with the `RESIDENTIAL` group is recommended to avoid 403/429 blocks; see the proxy note below.

**How fresh is the data?**
Every run scrapes the live site at run time. Schedule the actor for recurring snapshots.

**What is NOT included?**
Per-review text and ingredient/detail-page data are not collected — this actor returns list/aggregate product data only. Category-mode pagination is best-effort and may return fewer than `maxItems` on very deep crawls (search mode paginates cleanly).

### Rate limiting & legality

- The actor collects **only public, non-authenticated data**. It never logs in and never touches private endpoints.
- **No personal data** is collected — no seller or reviewer names, profiles, or IDs. Only item/product data (name, brand, price, aggregate rating/review/heart counts, image).
- Requests are rate-limited: one page at a time with a ≥ 500 ms delay between requests, to stay gentle on 29CM's servers.
- You are responsible for using the data in line with 29CM's terms of service and applicable law.

#### ⚠️ Proxy recommendation

29CM may block datacenter IPs or high request volumes. For reliable runs — especially at higher `maxItems` — enable **Apify Proxy with the `RESIDENTIAL` group**. The actor automatically uses the proxy configuration you provide (via `proxyConfiguration` in input) and runs direct when none is set. If you see repeated `API HTTP 403/429` errors in the log, switch on residential proxy.

#### Known limitations

- **Category-mode pagination** is best-effort: 29CM's category feed can reshuffle between pages, so the actor de-duplicates by product id and may return fewer than `maxItems` for very deep category crawls. **Search mode paginates cleanly** and is the recommended path for large collections.
- Per-review text and ingredient/detail-page data are **not** collected (they load client-side and would require reviewer-identity handling); this actor returns list/aggregate product data only.

# Actor input Schema

## `mode` (type: `string`):

What to scrape. 'search' returns products matching a keyword (deep, reliable pagination). 'category' returns the best-ranked products for a 29CM category code.

## `query` (type: `string`):

For 'search' mode: a keyword (e.g. 'nike', 'coat', '가디건'). For 'category' mode: a 29CM large-category code (e.g. '268100100' Women's Clothing, '272100100' Men's Clothing, '270100100' Women's Shoes, '271100100' Women's Accessories, '292100100' Kitchen/Living).

## `sort` (type: `string`):

Ordering of the product feed. BEST = popularity ranking, LATEST = newest, REVIEW = most reviewed, LOW\_PRICE / HIGH\_PRICE = by price.

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

Maximum number of products to collect.

## `proxyConfiguration` (type: `object`):

Apify Proxy settings. RESIDENTIAL is recommended for large runs. Leave default to run without a proxy (fine for small local tests).
