## 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

## EQL Store Scraper — Korean Designer Fashion Best-Sellers 🛍️

Scrape the **daily best-seller rankings** from [EQL (eqlstore.com)](https://www.eqlstore.com) — the premium designer-fashion mall run by **Handsome**, part of the **Hyundai Department Store** group — as clean, structured JSON. Get the rank, brand, product name, price (KRW), sold-out flag, and image for every best-selling product across EQL's **WOMEN**, **MEN**, and **LIFE** departments in one run.

> **Note:** EQL here is **eqlstore.com** (Handsome / Hyundai Dept Store), a Korean designer-fashion retailer — *not* the unrelated company at eql.com.

The perfect **daily trend feed** for a Korean e-commerce dashboard: run it on a schedule and you get a fresh top-of-market ranking every day, ready to chart movers, new entries, and sell-outs.

> **Try it free.** Apify's free plan includes $5 of monthly platform credit — at **$2.00 / 1,000 results** that's roughly **2,500 products** from this actor, no credit card required. Set your input, click Start, and export JSON/CSV/Excel.

---

### What it does

This actor reads ranking data straight from EQL's own best-seller feed (the same endpoint the website calls as you browse a category's "BEST" tab), so results are fast and complete — no fragile full-page scraping, no headless browser. You can scrape:

- **All three departments at once** (WOMEN + MEN + LIFE, each with its own ranking), or
- **A single department** (e.g. just WOMEN, or just LIFE).

Every product is returned with its live **daily best-seller rank** (`sort=DAILY_SALE_SEQ`), so the output is a ready-made leaderboard.

> **Why EQL?** EQL is Handsome's flagship premium-designer platform (Hyundai Department Store group), carrying labels like ARC'TERYX, ASICS, and a deep bench of Korean designer brands. Its daily best-seller list is a clean, high-signal read on what premium Korean shoppers are actually buying — ideal for a shopping-trend dashboard, brand monitoring, or product sourcing. This actor turns that ranking into a structured dataset you can filter, chart, and pipe into your own tools.

---

### Input

| Field | Type | Description |
|-------|------|-------------|
| `department` | string | Which best-seller department to scrape: `all` (WOMEN + MEN + LIFE), `women`, `men`, or `life`. Default `all`. |
| `maxItems` | integer | Max best-seller products to collect **per department**. The EQL daily best list runs ~100–120 items per department. Default `120`, max `1000`. |
| `proxyConfiguration` | object | Proxy settings (see below). Defaults to a direct connection. |

With `department: "all"` the actor collects up to `maxItems` products for **each** of the three departments, so a default run returns roughly 300 records (the full best list of all three), each tagged with its own `dept` and per-department `rank`.

#### Input example

```json
{
  "department": "all",
  "maxItems": 120
}
````

```json
{
  "department": "women",
  "maxItems": 40
}
```

***

### Output

Each best-selling product is one dataset record. `rank` is the product's position in that department's live daily best-seller list (1 = top seller). `price_krw` is the current sale price in Korean won. `is_sold_out` flags products EQL marks as sold out. `dept` tells you which department leaderboard the record belongs to.

```json
{
  "source": "eql",
  "dept": "women",
  "rank": 1,
  "product_id": "GP9026070881271",
  "brand": "ASICS",
  "name": "[아식스 본사]젤 카야노 14 112639301-006",
  "price_krw": 189000,
  "is_sold_out": false,
  "url": "https://www.eqlstore.com/product/GP9026070881271/detail",
  "image_url": "https://cdn.eqlstore.com/goods/EQBR/26/07/08/GP9026070881271_0_ORGINL_1783577228170.jpg",
  "scraped_at": "2026-07-15T09:56:22+09:00"
}
```

A 30-item sample from a real run (WOMEN + MEN + LIFE) is in [`samples/sample-output.json`](samples/sample-output.json).

| Field | Meaning |
|-------|---------|
| `source` | Always `"eql"`. |
| `dept` | Department leaderboard: `women`, `men`, or `life`. |
| `rank` | Daily best-seller rank within the department (1 = top seller). |
| `product_id` | EQL product code (`godNo`). |
| `brand` | Brand name, as EQL labels it. |
| `name` | Full product name (Korean/English as listed). |
| `price_krw` | Current sale price in KRW. |
| `is_sold_out` | `true` when EQL marks the product sold out. |
| `url` | Product detail page URL. |
| `image_url` | Main product photo URL (CDN). |
| `scraped_at` | ISO-8601 timestamp (KST, UTC+9). |

The core fields — `rank`, `brand`, `name`, `price_krw`, `dept`, `url`, `image_url` — populated on **300/300** records in the live test across all three departments. `is_sold_out` is always a boolean.

***

### Use cases

- **Daily K-fashion trend dashboards** — schedule the actor daily and chart the WOMEN/MEN/LIFE best-seller leaderboards: track new entries, rank movers, and sell-outs over time from a clean, structured feed.
- **Brand & competitor monitoring** — see which brands own the top of EQL's premium-designer ranking, and how their products move day to day.
- **Price monitoring** — track `price_krw` and `is_sold_out` on top sellers to catch price changes and stock-outs on high-demand designer items.
- **Product sourcing & research** — build a filterable catalogue of proven best-selling Korean designer products (with photos, brand, and price) for buying, dropshipping, or market research.
- **AI agents & datasets** — feed structured best-seller rankings into trend models, dashboards, or LLM agents.

***

### ❓ FAQ

**Is it legal to scrape this data?**
This actor collects only public, non-personal best-seller data — the same ranking any visitor sees on eqlstore.com without logging in. No personal data of any kind is collected. You are responsible for how you use the data; see the legality note below.

**What does it cost in practice?**
$2.00 per 1,000 results (launch pricing) + a few cents of platform usage. Example: a daily `all`-departments pull of ~300 products costs about **$0.60/day**. Apify's free $5 monthly credit covers **~2,500 results** (5 ÷ 2 × 1,000).

**Do I need to configure proxies?**
No — the default settings work out of the box. EQL serves its best-seller feed without a bot wall, so the actor runs fine on a **direct connection**. For very heavy pulls you can optionally enable Apify Proxy — see the proxy note below.

**How fresh is the data?**
Every run scrapes EQL's live daily best-seller feed (`DAILY_SALE_SEQ`) at run time. Schedule the actor daily to build a time series of the rankings.

**Is EQL the same as eql.com?**
No. This actor targets **eqlstore.com**, the Korean designer-fashion mall operated by Handsome (Hyundai Department Store group). It is unrelated to eql.com.

**What is NOT included?**
Only the best-seller list fields are returned (rank, brand, name, price, sold-out flag, image). This actor does not open each product's detail page, so per-item extras like full descriptions, sizes, or review text are not collected. Brand and product names come as EQL lists them (mostly Korean, some English).

***

### 🤖 Use with AI agents (MCP)

Call this Actor as a tool from Claude or any MCP-compatible AI agent — no glue code. Point your MCP client at Apify's server, scoped to this Actor:

```json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "apify": {
      "url": "https://mcp.apify.com?tools=kdatafactory/eqlstore-scraper",
      "headers": { "Authorization": "Bearer <YOUR_APIFY_TOKEN>" }
    }
  }
}
```

Your agent can then pull EQL best-seller rankings and Korean designer-fashion trend data on demand — no scraping code in your app. Grab a free token from [Apify → Integrations](https://console.apify.com/settings/integrations).

### 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 — only public product ranking fields (rank, brand, name, price, sold-out flag, image).
- Requests are rate-limited: one page at a time with a ≥ 500 ms delay between requests (and between departments), to stay gentle on EQL's servers.
- You are responsible for using the data in line with EQL's terms of service and applicable law.

#### Known limitations (honesty note)

- **List-level fields only.** This actor returns the best-seller list fields (rank, brand, name, price, sold-out flag, image). It deliberately does **not** open each product's detail page, so per-item extras (descriptions, sizes, full review text) are not collected.
- **Rank is per department.** `rank` is the product's position within its own department's daily best list (WOMEN, MEN, or LIFE) — it is not a single cross-store ranking. Use `dept` to keep the three leaderboards separate.
- **Names/brands are as listed.** Product and brand names come exactly as EQL labels them (mostly Korean, some English); they are not translated.
- **`price_krw` is the current sale price** shown on the best-seller card. Original/list price and discount rate are not exposed on the list feed and are not returned.
